Now I say this. That each of you actually say, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

lest some man should say that I immersed in my name.

For while one may say, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?

Or know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For, The two, he says, will be in one flesh.

But I say this from concession not from commandment.

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I.

But to the rest I say, not the Lord. If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and this woman consents to dwell with him, he should not leave her.

But this I say, brothers, the time is shortened. It is the remaining, so that also those who have wives may be as not having,

And I say this for your own benefit, not that I may cast restraint upon you, but for what is respectable and assiduous toward the Lord, undistracted.

Do I say these things according to man, or does not the law also say these things?

I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say.

What therefore do I say, that an idol is anything, or that a sacrifice to an idol is anything?

But if any man say to you, This is a sacrifice to an idol, do not eat for the sake of that man who informed, and the conscience, for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it.

And I say conscience, not the one of himself, but the one of the other man. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

For have ye no houses to eat and to drink in? Or do ye disparage the church of God, and humiliate those not having? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

Therefore I make known to you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus is accursed, and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, except by Holy Spirit.

If the foot should say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body.

And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body.

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

Otherwise if thou would bless with the spirit, how will the man who fills the place of the unlearned, say the Truly at thy thanksgiving, since he knows not what thou say?

In the law it is written, In other tongues and in other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear me, says Lord.

If therefore the whole congregation comes together in the same place, and all speak in tongues, and unlearned or unbelieving men come in, will they not say that ye are mad?

As in all the churches of the sanctified, let the women keep silent in the churches. For it is not permitted for them to speak, but to be subordinate, as the law also says.

Now if Christ is proclaimed that he has risen from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

For he subordinated all things under his feet. But when he says that all things have been subordinated, it is clear that he who subordinated all things under him, is excepted.

But some man will say, How are the dead raised, and with what kind of body do they come?
