For it is written - I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside.

For I think that, God, hath set forth, us the apostles, to be last of all, as men devoted to death, - in that, a spectacle, have we been made, unto the world, - both unto messengers and unto men.

Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods; but, God, will set aside, both it and them. The body, however, is not for fornication, but, for the Lord, - and, the Lord, for the body.

Neither become ye, idolaters, as some of them, - as it is written - The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to be making sport;

If one of them who believe not invite you, and ye are disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you, eat, - asking no question, for conscience sake.

And, giving thanks, brake it, and said - This, is my body, which is for you, - this, do ye, in remembrance of me;

If anyone be hungry, at home, let him eat, lest, unto judgment, ye be coming together. And, the remaining things, whensoever I come, I will set in order.

But, now, hath God set the members, each one of them in the body, even as he pleased.

And God hath, indeed, set, certain, in the assembly, - first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that mighty works, then gifts of healings, helps, guidings, kinds of tongues.

For - He put, all things, in subjection under his feet. But, whensoever it shall be said - all things are in subjection! - it is evident that it means, - Except him who did put into subjection, unto him, the all things -

And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying.

Let no one then despise him; and set ye him forward in peace, that he may come unto me, for I expect him with the brethren.
