Faithful is the God who called you to this fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

No, as it is written, what no eye has ever seen, what no ear has ever heard, what never entered the mind of man, God has prepared all that for those who love him.

To ensure this, I am sending you Timotheus, my beloved and trustworthy son in the Lord; he will remind you of those methods in Christ Jesus which I teach everywhere in every church.

Shun immorality! Any other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his body.

Of course, if you are actually married, there is no sin in that; and if a maid marries, there is no sin in that. (At the same time those who marry will have outward trouble ??and I would spare you that.)

At the same time, if any man considers he is not behaving properly to the maid who is his spiritual bride, if his passions are strong and if it must be so, then let him do what he wants ??let them be married; it is no sin for him.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the work I have accomplished in the Lord?

and when everything is put under him, then the Son himself will be put under Him who put everything under him, so that God may be everything to everyone.

Get back to your sober senses and avoid sin, for some of you ??and I say this to your shame ??some of you are insensible to God.

There is a splendour of the sun and a splendour of the moon and a splendour of the stars ??for one star differs from another in splendour.

So with the resurrection of the dead: what is sown is mortal, what rises is immortal;

sown inglorious, it rises in glory; sown in weakness, it rises in power;

sown an animate body, it rises a spiritual body. As there is an animate body, so there is a spiritual body.

As for our brother Apollos, I urged him to accompany the other brothers on a visit to you; he will come as soon as he has time, but for the present it is not the will of God that he should visit you.
