And this I say, that each of you says, I truly am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

Where the wise? where the scribe? where the seekers together of this life has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

But we speak wisdom among the perfected: and the wisdom not of this life, nor of the rulers of this life, they being left unemployed:

Which none of the rulers of this world knew: for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

And if any one build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, stalks;

Let none completely deceive himself. If any think to be wise in this life, let him be foolish, that he may he wise.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written, He seizing the wise in their deceptions.

For I know nothing by myself; but in this I have not been justified: and he examining me is the Lord.

Until this present hour we also hunger, and thirst, and we are naked, and are cuffed, and are unsteady.

And ye were puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he having done this work might be taken away from the midst of you.

For I truly, as being at a distance in body, and being present in spirit, have already, as being present, judged him having so worked this.

And not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or the rapacious, or idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

But brother with brother is judged, and this by the unbelieving.

Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods: and God will also leave unemployed this and them. And the body not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

And this I say according to indulgence, not according to order.

Each in the calling which he was called, in this let him remain.

Each, in what he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.

I think therefore this to be good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man to be thus.

And this I say, brethren, the time is restricted; as to the rest, that they also having wives should be as not having;

And they using this world, as not using; for the form of this world passes away.

And this I say for the advantage of yourselves; not that I shall cast a net upon you, but for the becoming, and occupied assiduously for the Lord without being turned away.

And he who has stood firmly fixed in heart; not having necessity, and has power concerning his own will, and has judged this in his heart to keep his virgin, does well.

And see ye lest this your power be a stumble to the weak.

My justification to them examining me is this,

If others participate with your power, not rather we? But we used not this power; but endure all things, lest we give some hindrance to the good news of Christ.

For if of free will I do this, I have reward: and if unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

And this. I do on account of the good news, that I might become a partaker of it.

And if any one say to you, This is sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for him making it known, and consciousness: for of the Lord the earth, and its fulness:

And this announcing I approve not, that not for the better come ye together, but for the worse.

For, have ye not houses for eating and drinking? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them not having? What should I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise not.

And having given thanks, he brake, and said, Take ye, eat; this is my body, broken for you: this do ye for my remembrance.

Likewise the cup also, after supping, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink, for my remembrance.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye announce the Lord's death till he come.

Therefore whoever should eat this bread, and drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be liable to the penalty of the body and blood of the Lord.

For this many among you weak and sick, and enough are asleep.

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

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

It has been written in the law, That in other tongues and in other lips will I speak to this people; and not so will they hear me, says the Lord.

If in this life only we have been hoping in Christ, we are more to be compassionated than all men.

And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

For this corrupted must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality.

And when this corrupted shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall be the word written, Death was swallowed down in victory.
