For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.

For who makes you different? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

You are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;

A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.

If others partake of this right over you, do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.

Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they did not give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?

What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.

For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.

Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?

If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?"

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
