But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

The one bound to a wife should not seek divorce. The one released from a wife should not seek marriage.

But if you marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face difficult circumstances, and I am trying to spare you such problems.

Do not seek your own good, but the good of the other person.

just as I also try to please everyone in all things. I do not seek my own benefit, but the benefit of many, so that they may be saved.

Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for man.

That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead.

It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.
