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

But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may realize the blessings freely given us by God.

So make no hasty judgment until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make plain the purpose of men's hearts. Then each man's due praise will come to him from God.

Yet you are puffed up instead of mourning and removing from among you the man who has done this thing.

Expel that wicked man from among you.

Flee from immorality. Every other sin that a man commits lies outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

Do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you, the Spirit whom you have from God?

I would that every one lived as I do; but each man has his own special gift from God, one this, another that.

And a woman whose husband is not a believer, if he is willing to live with her, let her not separate from him.

I have no command from the Lord to give you concerning unmarried women; but I give you my opinion, and it is that of a man who, through the Lord's mercy, is deserving of your confidence.

Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from the marriage bond? Do not seek for a wife.

So I want you to be free from all anxieties. An unmarried man is anxious about the Lord's business, how he may please the Lord;

On the other hand, he who is firm in his purpose and is under no compulsion, but is free to carry out his own wishes, and who has determined to keep his daughter unmarried, does well.

yet for there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

If I have sown for you the seeds of spiritual good, is it a great thing if I reap from you temporal goods?

What then is my wage? This, that I can make the gospel free where I carry it; and that I can refrain from using my rights as a preacher of the gospel.

Though free from all men, I make myself the slave of all, that I may win the more.

and all drank from the same spiritual stream, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

So then, my beloved, continually flee from idolatry.

For it is not man who was made from woman, but woman was made from man.

for just as the woman was made from the man, so also is the man born of the woman, while they both come from God.

For I passed on to you the account, which I myself received from the Lord; how the Lord Jesus, on the very night he was betrayed, took bread,

What, was it from you that the word of God went forth, or to you only did it come?

If then, we are preaching Christ, that he rose from the dead, how are some of you saying that there is no resurrection from the dead?

But if there is no resurrection from the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;

More than that, we are detected in bearing false witness against God; because we testified of God that he raised Christ from the dead, whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead rise not.

But now, now, Christ is risen from the dead, the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

For since by man came to death, by man came also the resurrection from the dead.

Wake up, do justly, cease from sin; for I say to your shame that some of you have no acquaintance with God.

There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

So, my brothers beloved, stand firm, immovable, always abounding in work for the Lord, because you know that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.
