None of the rulers of this age knew this wisdom, for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy and swindlers or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world.

For the unbelieving husband is set apart for God by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is set apart for God by the husband. Otherwise your children would be corrupt, but now they are set apart for God.

But I have used none of these rights, and I have not written this to make it happen that way for me. For it would be better for me to die than for anyone to deprive me of my boast!

If we were properly evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged,

If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

And if they were all the same part, where would the body be?

so that there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other.

yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, in order to teach others also, than 10,000 words in another language.
