Now I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all say the same [thing] and there not be divisions among you, and that you be made complete in the same mind and with the same purpose.

But I say this, that each of you is saying, "I am with Paul," and "I [am] with Apollos," and "I [am] with Cephas," and "I [am] with Christ."

lest anyone should say that you were baptized in my name.

For whenever anyone says, "I am with Paul," and another, "I [am] with Apollos," are you not [merely] human?

I say [this] to your shame. So is there not anyone wise among you who will be able to render a decision between his brothers?

Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body [with her]? For it says, "The two will become one flesh."

But I say this as a concession, not as a command.

Now I say to the unmarried and to the widows: [It is] good for them if they remain as I [am].

Now to the rest I say--not the Lord--if any brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

But I say this, brothers: the time is shortened, that from now on even those who have wives should be as [if they] do not have [wives],

I am not saying these [things] according to a human perspective. Or does the law not also say these [things]?

But if someone says to you, "This is offered to idols," do not eat [it], for the sake of that one who informed [you] and the conscience.

For do you not have houses for eating and drinking? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who do not have [anything]? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise [you]!

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus [is] accursed," and no one is able to say "Jesus [is] Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.

If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not [a part] of the body," not because of this is it not [a part] of the body.

And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not [a part] of the body, not because of this is it not [a part] of the body.

Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, "I do not have need of you," or again, the head to the feet, "I do not have need of you."

For otherwise, if you praise in [your] spirit, how will the one who fills the place of the outsider say the "amen" at your thanksgiving, because he does not know what you are saying?

In the law it is written: "By those who speak a foreign language and by the lips of others I will speak to this people, and not even in this way will they obey me," says the Lord.

Therefore, if the whole church comes together at the same [time] and all speak with tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds?

the women must be silent in the churches, for it is not permitted for them to speak, but they must be in submission, just as the law also says.

Now if Christ is preached as raised up from the dead, how do some among you say that [there] is no resurrection of the dead?

For "he subjected all [things] under his feet." But when it says "all [things]" are subjected, [it is] clear that the one who subjected all [things] to him [is] not included.

Sober up correctly and {stop sinning}, for some have no knowledge of God--I say [this] to your shame.

But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what sort of body do they come?"

But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruptibility.
