What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

I want you to be without concerns. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord.

But if any man thinks he is acting improperly toward his virgin, if she is past marriageable age, and so it must be, he can do what he wants. He is not sinning; they can get married.

A wife is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to anyone she wants—only in the Lord.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

No, but I do say that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to participate with demons!

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

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

But if anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other custom, nor do the churches of God.

Now concerning what comes from the Spirit: brothers, I do not want you to be unaware.

And if they want to learn something, they should ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church meeting.

Now brothers, I want to clarify for you the gospel I proclaimed to you; you received it and have taken your stand on it.

But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.

I don’t want to see you now just in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.
