for he, who has called you to the communication of his son Jesus Christ our Lord, will make good his promise.

However, what we preach is wisdom, to those who are thoroughly instructed: yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who will soon come to nothing.

but, as it is written, "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entred into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

but if the Lord pleases, I will visit you very soon; and then I shall try, not what these boasters can say, but what they can do:

flee licentiousness. no other sin that a man commits does affect the church as a body: but the licentious commits a fraud against the whole body to which he belongs.

not that it is a sin for you to marry; nor is it so if a virgin marry; but they that do, will be troubled for their relations, and that I would prevent.

and they that possess this world, as those that can't make an ill use of it. for the scene of this world is continually shifting. I would have you free from anxiety.

but when you thus offend against the brethren, by wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not you become christians by my labour?

after that, he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once: of whom the greater part remain alive to this day, but some are now dead.

and last of all, he was seen by me too, who am as it were an abortive;

and when all things shall be reduced under subjection to him, then shall the son also himself be subject to him that put all things under his subjection, that God may be all in all.

the glory of the sun is of one kind, the glory of the moon of another, and the glory of the stars still different; nay, one star differs from another star in glory.

such will be the resurrection of the dead: the body is sown corruptible, it will be raised incorruptible.

it is sown in dishonour, it will be raised in glory: it is sown in decay, it will be raised in power:

it is sown an animal body, it will rise a spiritual body. there is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.

the sting of death was sin; and the strength of sin was the law.
