An unspiritual man does not accept the things that the Spirit of God teaches, for they are nonsense to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are appreciated by spiritual insight.

I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you could not take it. Why, you cannot take it even now,

It cannot be that we have no right to our food and drink, can it?

It cannot be that we have no right to take a Christian wife about with us, can it, as well as the rest of the apostles and the Lord's brothers, and Cephas?

For if I do preach the good news, I have no ground for boasting of it, for I cannot help doing it. Yes, indeed, I am accursed if I do not preach the good news.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot eat at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons.

But as I am giving you these instructions I cannot approve of your meetings, because they do not turn out for the better but for the worse.

It is not that you have no houses to eat and drink in, is it? Or, are you trying to show your contempt for the church of God and trying to humiliate those who have no houses? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? No, I cannot praise you for this.

The eye cannot say to the hand, "I do not need you," or the hand to the feet, "I do not need you."

Love is so patient and so kind; love never boils with jealousy; it never boasts, is never puffed with pride;

But someone will ask, "How can the dead rise? With what kind of body do they come back?"

but God gives it just the body He sees fit, even each kind of seed its own body.

Every kind of flesh is different. One kind belongs to men, another to cattle, another to birds, another to fish.

There are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.

One kind of splendor belongs to the sun, another to the moon, and another to the stars; yes, one star differs from another in splendor.

But this I tell you, brothers: Our physical bodies cannot take part in the kingdom of God; what is decaying will never take part in what is immortal.
