For, since in the wisdom of God the world by it's wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by what they called the folly of preaching to save those that believe.

But as it is written, "Eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for those that love Him."

which we also speak of, not in words dictated by human wisdom, but in those which are dictated by the holy Spirit; explaining spiritual things by spiritual words.

For what have I to do to judge those that are without? and do not ye judge those that are within?

But those who are without, God judgeth: and therefore put away the wicked one from among you.

But those that are married, not I command, but the Lord, that the wife be not separated from her husband;

But this I say, brethren, that the time is short: it remains therefore, that even those, who have wives, be as though they had none;

So also the Lord hath ordained, that those who preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel.

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; that is, to those, who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law:

and to those without the law as without the law, (not being without law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain those who are without the law.

Know ye not, that those, who run in a race, do all indeed run, but one only receiveth the prize? So run that ye may obtain.

What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or do ye despise the church of God, and shame those that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

But those parts of the body, which seem to be weaker, are much more necessary:

and those which we judge the less honorable parts we clothe with more abundant honor; and so our less comely parts have more comeliness added to them, of which our comely ones have no need.

So that tongues are for a sign, not to believers but to unbelievers: but prophecy not to unbelievers but to those that believe.
