Cleanse out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened; for our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ.

Doth any one of you, who hath a matter against another, dare to go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the holy?

The wife hath not the disposal of her own body, but her husband; and so also the husband hath not the disposal of his own body, but his wife.

I would that all men were as I myself; but every one hath his own gift from God, one man this, and another that.

But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she be satisfied to dwell with him, let him not put her away;

and if a wife hath an unbelieving husband, and he be satisfied to dwell with her, let her not put her husband away.

For the unbelieving husband hath been made holy by his wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been made holy by the brother; otherwise were your children unclean, but, as it is, they are holy.

But if the unbelieving separateth himself, let him separate himself; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God hath called you to be in peace.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

How is it then, brethren? When ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a lesson of instruction, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation; let all things be done for edification.

and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Scriptures;

But if Christ be preached that he hath risen from the dead, how is it that some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ hath not risen;

and if Christ hath not risen, then is our preaching vain, and vain also is your faith.
