Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

But ye are his, in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the spirit from God, so that we might know the things graciously given to us by God.

Therefore do not judge anything before time, until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make public the deliberations of the hearts. And then praise will come to each man from God.

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.

But God judges those outside. And ye yourselves shall drive out the evil man from you.

Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own,

Do not defraud each other except from agreement for a time, so that ye may have time for fasting and prayer. And come together again for the same thing, so that Satan not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

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.

And to those who are married, I do not command but the Lord. The wife is not to separate from her husband.

Now concerning the virgins I have no commandment of Lord, but I give an opinion, as having obtained mercy from Lord to be trustworthy.

Are thou bound to a wife? Do not seek separation. Are thou free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

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

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.

Who ever enlists in an army at his own wage? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat from the milk of the flock?

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.

Know ye not that those being employed at the sacred things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar are partakers at the altar?

And so the Lord commanded those who proclaim the good-news to live from the good-news.

For although being free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that I might gain the more.

and they all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them. And the rock was the Christ.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

For just as the woman is from the man, so also the man is through the woman. But all things are from God.

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread,

Or did the word of God come forth from you? Or did it come to you only?

by which also ye are saved if ye hold firm that word I preached to you, unless ye believed in vain.

And just as we have worn the form of the earthly, we will also wear the form of the heavenly.

Watch ye, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
