God can be depended on, and it was he who called you to this fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

But I am coming very soon to see you, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out, not what these conceited people have to say, but what they can actually do.

Fly from immorality! Any other sin a man commits is something outside his body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

But if you do marry, there is no sin in that. And if a girl marries, it is no sin. But those who marry will have worldly trouble, which I would like to spare you.

But if a man thinks he is not acting properly toward the girl to whom he is engaged, if his passions are too strong, and that is what ought to be done, let him do as he pleases; it is no sin; let them be married.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the product of my work in the Lord's service?

Any man who enters an athletic contest goes into strict training, to win a wreath that will soon wither, but the one we compete for will never wither.

So this ecstatic speaking is meant as a sign not to those who believe but to unbelievers, but inspired preaching is a sign not to unbelievers but to those who believe.

But if they are all inspired to preach and some unbeliever or outsider comes in, he is convinced of his sin by them all, he is called to account by them all,

and that he was seen by Cephas, and then by the Twelve.

After that he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, although some of them have fallen asleep.

Then he was seen by James, then by all the apostles,

and finally he was seen by me also, as though I were born at the wrong time.

And when everything is reduced to subjection to him, then the Son himself will also become subject to him who has reduced everything to subjection to him, so that God may be everything to everyone.

The sun has one kind of beauty, and the moon another, and the stars another; why, one star differs from another in beauty.

It is so with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay, it is raised free from decay.

It is sown in humiliation, it is raised in splendor. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in strength.

It is a physical body that is sown, it is a spiritual body that is raised. If there is a physical body, there is a spiritual body also.
