I give thanks to my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which hath been given you in Christ Jesus;

thus the testimony of Jesus hath been confirmed among you:

Where is the sophist? where is the scribe? where is the inquisitive searcher after this world's wisdom? hath not God turned into folly the wisdom of this world?

but the foolish things of this world hath God elected, that he might confound the wise; and the feeble things of the world hath God elected, that he might confound the mighty;

and the ignoble things of the world, and the despicable, hath God elected, and the things that are not, to bring to nought the things which are,

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who hath been made to us of God wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

But, as it is written, "The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and that have not entered into the heart of man, these hath God prepared for those who love him."

But to us hath God revealed them by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth out all things, even the depths of God.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? who will instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

If any man's work which he hath built abide [the trial], he shall receive a reward.

For I think that God hath exposed us his apostles the last as devoted unto death. For we have been made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.

And ye are puffed up, though ought ye not rather to be grieved? that he who hath done this deed might be plucked from the midst of you.

For I indeed, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have already, as present, passed judgment on him who hath so done this thing;

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, as ye are unleavened. For our passover hath been sacrificed for us, even Christ.

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up by his own power.

The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not power over his own body, but the wife.

For I would that all men were even as myself: but every man hath his peculiar gift from God, one of this sort, and another of that.

But to the others I speak, not the Lord, If any brother hath a wife unbelieving, yet she chuseth to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And the wife which hath a husband not a believer, and he chuses to dwell with her, let her not put him away.

But if the unbelieving person depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in these cases, but God hath called us unto peace.

Nevertheless as God has bestowed the gift on every man as the Lord hath called every man, so let him walk, and so I give command in all the churches.

But if thou shouldst marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned; though such will have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you.

A wife and a virgin hath different pursuits: the unmarried woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.

But he that is stedfast in his heart, not having any necessity, but retaineth power over his own inclination, and hath determined this in his heart that he will preserve his own virgin state, doeth well.

So also the Lord hath commanded to those who preach the gospel, that they should live by the gospel.

No temptation hath overtaken you, but what is common to men. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to bear; but will with the temptation make also a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear up under it.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, but all the members of that one body, though many, are one body: so also is Christ.

But now hath God placed the members, every one of them in the body, as he hath chosen.

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered together the body, giving more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

And these also hath God placed in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, directors, different kinds of tongues.

How comes it then, brethren, that when ye assemble together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? Let all things be done to edification.

For he must reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet.

For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, that all things are put under him, it is evident that there is an exception of him, who subjected all things to him.
