I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Now some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.

And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, being accustomed to idols, eat food as really sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

Do I say this merely from a human point of view? Does not the Law say the same thing?

In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living from the gospel.

To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, so that I might by all means save some.

and all ate the same spiritual food;

and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play."

We must not indulge in immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

We must not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents.

Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her headit is the same as if her head were shaved.

In the same way he took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there are varieties of service, but the same Lord.

There are varieties of working, but the same God who works all of them in all men.

To one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as he wills.

On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

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.

But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

After that he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

Now if Christ is preached that he has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

For not all flesh is the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of birds, and another of fish.

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