God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.

I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, so that through us you may learn "not to go beyond what is written," so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.

I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.

But if the unbeliever wants a divorce, let it take place. In these circumstances the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you in peace.

Am I saying these things only on the basis of common sense, or does the law not say this as well?

But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing these things so that something will be done for me. In fact, it would be better for me to die than -- no one will deprive me of my reason for boasting!

I do all these things because of the gospel, so that I can be a participant in it.

These things happened as examples for us, so that we will not crave evil things as they did.

These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.
