but if they have not self-control, let them marry; it is better to marry than to be incontinent.

But the married I charge, not I, but the Lord, Let not a wife separate from her husband,

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is pleased to live with him, let him not leave her;

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother; else were your children impure, but now are they holy.

But if the unbelieving companion departs, let him depart; the brother or the sister is not bound in such cases; but God has called us to peace.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping God's commandments.

were you called being a servant, care not for it; but if you can be free, use it rather.

You are bought with a price; be not servants of men.

And concerning the virgins I have no ordinance of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one that has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

But if you marry, you do not sin and if the virgin marries she does not sin. But such will have affliction in the flesh; but I spare you.

But this I say, brothers, the time is short, so that in future those who have wives should be as those not having them,

But I wish you to be without cares. The unmarried man cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;

but he that is married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.

And the wife and the virgin are different; the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit; but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.

But I say this for your own profit; not to impose a snare on you, but for [your] honor, and [your] attending on the Lord without distraction.

But if any one thinks that he behaves improperly to his virgin, if she is past her prime, and it must be so, let him do what he wishes; he does not sin; let them marry.

But he that stands firm in mind, not having a necessity, but has power over his will, and has determined in his mind to keep his virgin, does well.

A woman is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead then she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

But she is happier if she continues thus, in my opinion, and I think also I have the Spirit of God.

And concerning things offered to idols we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

but if any one loves God, this [man] is known by him.

Concerning eating things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

But all have not this knowledge; and some with the conscience [unenlightened] even till now eat an idol's [sacrifice] as an idol's sacrifice, and their conscience being weak is defiled.

But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat not are we worse, nor if we eat are we better.

But beware lest your liberty should become an offense to the weak.

But when you thus sin against the brothers, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

And if others have this right, do we not have it more? But we have not used this right, but endure all things, that we may not impede the gospel of Christ.

But I have used none of these things, and I have not written these things that it should be so done to me; for I prefer to die, rather than that any one should make my boasting vain.

For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, I am intrusted with a stewardship.

to those without law, as without law, being not without law to God, but with law to Christ, that I might gain those without law;

Know you not that those who run in the race all indeed run, but one takes the prize. So run that you may obtain.

but I brow-beat my body, and bring it into subjection, lest having preached to others I should myself be a reprobate.

but with many of them God was not pleased; for they were destroyed in the wilderness.

But these things are examples for us, that we should not desire evil things, as they did.

For no trial has befallen you but what is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tried beyond what you are able, but with the trial will order the event, that you may be able to endure.

But what the gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I do not wish you to be partakers with demons.

All things are lawful, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful, but all things do not edify.

Let no one seek his own but the good of another.

But if an unbeliever invites you and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for conscience' sake.

But if any one says to you, This has been offered to an idol, eat not for his sake that informed you, and for conscience' sake.

I mean not your conscience, but that of the other. For why is my freedom limited by the conscience of another?

as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit but that of many, that they may be saved.

But I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman, the man, and the head of Christ, God.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered disgraces her head; for it is one and the same as if she was shaved.

For if a woman is not veiled then let her hair be cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to be shaved, let her wear a veil.

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

For man is not of woman, but woman of man;

for man also was not created because of the woman, but woman because of the man.

But neither is woman without man, nor man without woman in the Lord;

for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, but all things are from God.

but if a woman wears long hair it is her glory; for the hair is given her for a covering.

But if any one is disposed to be contentious, we have no such custom neither have the churches of God.

But I tell you this, not to praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup;

but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

And there are diversities of gifts but the same Spirit;

But a manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for a useful purpose.

but all these [works] performs one and the same Spirit, distributing to each in particular as it wills.

For the body also is not one member but many.

But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body, as he pleased.

But if all were one member, where would be the body?

But now there are many members, but one body.

but much more those members of the body which seem to be weak are necessary,

for our comely ones have no need. But God has commingled the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which was lacking,

that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.

But desire earnestly the best gifts: and I will still more fully show you the way.

rejoices not in wickedness, but rejoices in the truth;

Love never fails; but if there are prophecies, they shall pass away; if tongues, they shall cease; if knowledge, it shall pass away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child; when I became a man I put away childish things.

For now we see by a mirror darkly, but then we shall see face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully as I also am known.

And now remain faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Cherish love, and be earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.

For he that speaks with a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but in spirit he speaks mysteries;

but he that prophesies speaks to men to edification and exhortation and consolation.

He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies an assembly.

I wish you all to speak with tongues, but rather that you should prophesy; and he that prophesies is greater than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, that the assembly may receive edification.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you by a revelation, or by a knowledge, or by a prophecy, or by a doctrine?

For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

For you indeed give thanks well; but the other is not edified.

but in an assembly I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may also teach others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Brothers, be not children in understanding, but in malice be children, and in understanding be perfect men.

Tongues therefore are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers, but prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers.

But if all prophesy, and there comes in an unbeliever or an unlearned man, he is convinced by all, he is examined by all,

but if any thing is revealed to another sitting by, let the first be silent.

for God is not [the friend] of disorder but of peace.

As in all the churches of the saints, let your women keep silence in the assemblies; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

But if they wish to learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in an assembly.

but if any one is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

but let all things be done becomingly and in order.

Afterwards he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, of whom the most continue even to the present time, but some have fallen asleep.

but by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, but not I but the grace of God with me.

But if Christ is preached that he was raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there is not a resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised;

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, a first fruit of those that have slept.

But each one in his own order; Christ a first fruit, then those who are Christ's at his coming;

For he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet.

for he put all things under his feet. But when he says that all things are put under him, it is clear that he is excepted who puts all things under him;

and when all things have been put under him, then will the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

But some one will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

and what you sow, you sow not the body which shall be, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or some of the other grains;
