Now I say this. That each of you actually say, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

Where is a wise man? Where is a scholar? Where is a researcher of this age? Did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, even this crucified man.

But we speak wisdom among the fully developed, but not a wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age who come to nothing.

which none of the rulers of this age know. For if they knew, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

And if any man builds upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy this man, for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

Let not one man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he may become wise.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, He who catches the wise in their craftiness,

for I know nothing on myself. Yet I have not been made righteous in this, but he who appraises me is Lord.

Because of this I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every congregation.

And ye are puffed up and did not rather mourn, so that he who committed this deed might be taken away from the midst of you.

For I truly, as being absent in the body but present in the spirit, I have already, as though present, judged the man who committed this thing this way.

and not at all with the fornicators of this world, or with greedy men, or with predators, or with idolaters, since then ye would need to go out of the world.

But brother goes to law against brother, and this before unbelievers?

The foods are for the belly and the belly for foods, but God will abolish both this and these things. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

But I say this from concession not from commandment.

For I wish all men to be even as myself. However each man has his own gift from God, one in this way, and another after that.

But to the rest I say, not the Lord. If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and this woman consents to dwell with him, he should not leave her.

Each man, in the situation in which he was called, in this he should remain.

Brothers, each man, in what he was called, should remain in this before God.

I suppose therefore this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be this way:

But this I say, brothers, the time is shortened. It is the remaining, so that also those who have wives may be as not having,

and those who use this world, as not making full use, for the form of this world passes away.

And I say this for your own benefit, not that I may cast restraint upon you, but for what is respectable and assiduous toward the Lord, undistracted.

But he who stands firm in his heart, not having necessity, but has power based upon his own will, and has decided this in his heart, to keep his own celibacy, does well.

But she is more blessed if she remains this way according to my opinion. And I also seem to have Spirit of God.

But if any man loves God, this man is known by him.

But take heed lest somehow this privilege of yours becomes a stumbling-block to those who are weak.

And sinning this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

My defense to those who examine me is this.

If others are partakers of the right from you, are not we more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we cover all things, so that we may not give any hindrance to the good-news of the Christ.

But I have used none of these things, and I did not write these things so that it should be done to me this way. For it is good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my boasting empty.

For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission.

And I do this for sake of the good-news, so that I might become a fellow participant of it.

I therefore run this way, not as aimlessly. I fight this way, not as flaying air.

But if any man say to you, This is a sacrifice to an idol, do not eat for the sake of that man who informed, and the conscience, for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it.

Because of this the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of the heavenly agents.

Now in this that is commanded, I do not praise you, because ye do not assemble for the better but for the worse.

For have ye no houses to eat and to drink in? Or do ye disparage the church of God, and humiliate those not having? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

and having expressed thanks, he broke in pieces, and said, Take ye, eat, this is my body broken for you. This do ye for my memorial.

Likewise also the cup after the supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. This do, as often as ye drink it, for my memorial.

For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

Therefore whoever may eat this bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily of the Lord, will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

Because of this many are weak and sickly among you, and a considerable sleep.

If the foot should say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body.

And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body.

In the law it is written, In other tongues and in other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear me, says Lord.

If we are men who have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men more miserable.

Now this I affirm, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit imperishability.

For this perishable must put on imperishability, and this mortal put on immortality.

But when this perishable will have put on imperishability, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written, Death was swallowed up in victory.
