For who of men knows the things of man, except the spirit of the man which is in him? so indeed no one knows the things of God, except the Spirit of God.

But the intellectual man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For who knows the mind of the Lord, who shall give him counsel? But we have the mind of Christ.

I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:

for ye are yet carnal. For where there are envy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and walking about according to man?

For when one may say, I am indeed of Paul; another, I am of Apollos; are you not men?

For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's farm; ye are God's building.

For other foundation no one is able to lay beside the one which is laid, who is Jesus Christ.

the work of each will be made manifest: for the day will reveal it, because it is revealed by fire; and the same fire will try the work of each what soil it is.

But if the work of any one shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss; but himself shall be saved, but as through the fire.

If any one destroys the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

So let no one boast among men; for all things are yours;

For I know nothing against myself; but in this I am not justified; and the Lord is the one judging me.

For who judges you? and what have you which you did not receive. But if indeed you received it, why do you boast, as not having received it?

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles the last, as exposed to death: that we may become a theater to the world, and to angels, and to men.

We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are glorious, but we are dishonorable.

until this hour we both hunger and thirst, and suffer for insufficient clothing, and are buffeted; and we tramp,

For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, but you have not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

For this same thing I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ Jesus, as I teach everywhere in every church.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

For indeed I, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus done this, as being present,

to turn over such a one to Satan for the destruction of carnality, in order that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Cleanse away the old leaven, in order that you may be a new lump, as you are free from leaven; for Christ has truly become our Passover.

For now I have written unto you not to keep company with him, if any one denominated a brother may be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a scold, or drunken, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

For why is it for me to judge the outsiders? Do you not judge those within? But God will judge those without.

Meats for the stomach, and the stomach for meats: but God will destroy both this and them. The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

Do you not know that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? for it says, They two shall be one flesh.

for you have been bought with a price: indeed glorify God in your body.

But concerning those things about which you wrote to me: That it is good for a man not to receive a wife:

Do not defraud one another, unless it may be with consent for a time, that you may give attention to prayer, and again come together, in order that Satan may not tempt you on account of your incontinency.

But I speak to the unmarried and the widows, that it is good for them that they may remain even as I:

but if they do not contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the brother. Since then your children are unclean; but now they are holy.

For what do you know, O wife, if you shall save your husband? And what do you know, O husband, if you shall save your wife?

Have you been called being a slave? let it not be a care to you: but if indeed you are able to become free, use it in preference.

For the one having been called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freeman: likewise the one having been called, while free, is the slave of Christ.

But I consider this to be good on account of the present distress, that it is good for a man so to be.

and those using the world, as those not using it thoroughly: for the fashion of this world is passing away.

I wish you to be free from solicitude. The unmarried man cares for the things of the Lord, in order that he may please the Lord:

but the one having married cares for the things of the world, in order that he may please his wife.

A wife and a virgin truly also differ: the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but she having married cares for the things of the world, that she may please her husband.

I speak this for the profit of you yourselves; not that I may cast a burden upon you, but for that which is pleasing and acceptable to the Lord without perturbation.

A wife has been given so long a time as her husband may live; but if her husband may die, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

For if indeed there are those who are called gods, whether in heaven or upon the earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;

For if any one may see you having knowledge sitting at the table in the idol temple, will not the conscience of him, being weak, be encouraged to eat things sacrificed to the idols?

For the weak one is destroyed by your knowledge, the brother for whom Christ died.

Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen the Lord Jesus? are you not my work in the Lord?

If I am not an apostle to others, but I am to you at least: for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

For in the law of Moses it has been written, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that plows. Is there a care to God for oxen,

or does he speak it altogether on account of us? For it was written on account of us, That the one plowing ought to plow in hope, and the one threshing in hope of partaking.

But I have used none of these things. But I have not written these things that it may be so in me: for it is good for me rather to die than that any one shall make void my boasting.

For if I preach the gospel, there is no boasting to me; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I may not preach the gospel.

For if I do this willingly, I have a reward: but if unwillingly, I have been intrusted with a dispensation.

Then what is my reward? that preaching the gospel, I may render the gospel free from charge, in order that I may not use my right in the gospel.

For being free from all, I rendered myself servant to all, that I may gain the more.

But I do all these things for the sake of the gospel, that I may be its fellow-partaker.

For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

and all did drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

But with many of them God is not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

But these things happened unto them as examples; and were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have descended.

Because we, being many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of one bread.

for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness of the same.

But I say the conscience not of himself, but of the other one. For why is my liberty judged by the conscience of another?

If I partake with grace, why am I traduced for that over which I give thanks?

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same to her being shaven.

If a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a disgrace for a woman to be shorn or shaven; let her be covered.

For a man ought not to cover his head, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not from the woman; but the woman is from the man;

for man indeed was not created on account of the woman; but the woman on account of the man.

For as the woman is from the man, so the man also is by the woman; and all things from God.

Judge ye among yourselves: is it becoming for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory unto her: because the hair has been given to her for a covering.

And proclaiming this, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

For in the first place, indeed you coming together, I hear that there are schisms among you; and I in part believe it.

For it behooves that heresies should indeed be among you, in order that the approved may be made manifest among you.

for each one takes his own supper in eating; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

For have you not houses in which to eat and to drink? or do you cast contempt on the church of God, and shame those not having? What do I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

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

and having given thanks, broke it, and said; This is my body, which is for you: do this in remembrance of me.

For as often as you may eat this bread, and drink the cup, you do proclaim the death of the Lord, until he may come.

for the one eating and drinking, net discerning the body, eats and drinks condemnation to himself.

So, my brethren, coming together to eat, wait for one another.

For we know in part, and prophesy in part:

For we now see through a mirror in an enigma; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know perfectly even as I am perfectly known.

For the one speaking with a tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no one hears him; but he speaks mysteries in the spirit:

For if indeed the trumpet may give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the war?

Thus also if you through the tongue may give an indistinct word, how will that which is spoken be known? for you will be speaking into the air.

For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit is praying, but my mind is not fruitful.

For you indeed bless beautifully, but the other is not edified.

So tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelievers: and prophecy is not for the unbelievers, but for the believers.

For you are all able to prophesy one by one, in order that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

for he is not a God of confusion, but of peace. So in all the churches of the saints,

let the women be silent in the churches: for it is not permitted to them to talk; but let them be subordinate, as the law also says.

But if they wish to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is disgraceful for a woman to talk in church.

For I delivered unto you in the first place that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

For since death was through a man, the resurrection of the dead is also through a man.

For as in Adam all die, so truly in Christ shall all be made alive.

For it behooves him to reign until he may put all enemies under his feet.
