But we speak a wisdom of God in a hidden mystery, which God predestined before the ages for our glory,

which none of the rulers of this age know. For if they knew, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Which things also we speak, not in things learned from mankind, in words of wisdom, but in things learned from Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

For no man can lay another foundation besides that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy this man, for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

Now these things, brothers, I applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us ye might learn not to think above that which is written, so that ye may not be puffed up, one over the one against the other.

Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own,

for ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit, which is of God.

Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me. It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

For I wish all men to be even as myself. However each man has his own gift from God, one in this way, and another after that.

Rather, that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become partakers of demons.

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I maligned about which I express thanks?

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread,

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each man toward that which is beneficial.

So also ye, unless ye give understandable speech by the tongue, how will that which is spoken be known? For ye will be talking into the air.

And, brothers, I make known to you the good-news that I preached to you, which also ye received, and in which ye stand,

by which also ye are saved if ye hold firm that word I preached to you, unless ye believed in vain.

Watch ye, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

Now I beseech you, brothers (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruit of Achaia, and that they committed themselves to service for the sanctified),
