But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea;

No, but I say that the things pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising questions of conscience.

But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

If anyone wants to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be uninformed.

Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless some one interprets, so that the church may be edified.

For I do not want to see you now just in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
