But I say this, that every one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.

For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal?

Or do you not know that he being joined to a harlot is one body? For He says, The two shall be one flesh.

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

But this I say, brothers, The time is short. It remains that both those who have wives should be as not having one.

Do I say these things according to man? Or does not the Law say the same also?

Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? It was written for us, so that he who plows should plow in hope, and so that he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.

I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say.

What then do I say? That the idol is anything, or that an idolatrous sacrifice is anything?

But I say that the things which the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I do not desire that you should have fellowship with demons.

But if anyone says to you, This is slain in sacrifice to idols, do not eat for the sake of him who showed it, and for conscience' sake; "for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it";

conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another's conscience?

For do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God, and shame those who do not have? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? I do not praise you!

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says Jesus is a curse, and that no one can say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

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

Else, if you bless in the spirit, he occupying the place of the unlearned, how will he say the amen at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you say?

In the Law it is written, "By other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people, and even so they will not hear Me, says the Lord."

Therefore if the whole church has come together, and all speak in languages, and if uninstructed ones or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you rave?

Let your women be silent in the churches; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the Law also says.

But if Christ is proclaimed, that He was raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

For He put all things under His feet. But when He says that all things have been put under His feet, it is plain that it excepts Him who has put all things under Him.

But someone will say, How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?

And I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
