But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?

But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

Put no stumbling-block in the way of Jews or Greeks or the church of God.

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

But I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and you keep the doctrines as I delivered them to you.

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

every man who prays or prophesies having his head covered, dishonoureth him who is his head: but every woman who prays

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

but neither is a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

What, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.

But concerning spiritual manifestations, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

For, unto one, indeed, through the Spirit, is given, a word of wisdom, but, unto another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; -

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.

For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us--whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men--were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit.

For the body is not one member, but many.

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

But if all were one member, where the body?

But now are they many members, yet but one body.

But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

and those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant,

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

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

And God has put some in the church, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those with wonder-working powers, then those with the power of taking away disease, helpers, wise guides, users of strange tongues.

Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts.

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor , and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not envious or boastful. It does not put on airs.

Doth not behave indecently, seeketh not her own, is not provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not at iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth:

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

For we only know bit by bit, and we only prophesy bit by bit;

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

In the same way, lifeless instruments like the flute or harp produce sounds. But if there's no difference in the notes, how can a person tell what tune is being played?

Even so, likewise, when ye speak with tongues, except ye speak words that have signification, how shall it be understood what is spoken? For ye shall but speak in the air.

But if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will [appear to] be a foreigner to the one who is speaking [since he knows exactly what he is saying], and the one who is speaking will [appear to] be a foreigner to me.

But since there is emulation among you concerning spiritual gifts, seek to abound in the exercise of such gifts as tend most to the edification of the church.

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing also with the understanding.

otherwise if you should give thanks by the spirit in an unknown tongue, the hearer cannot but appear unlearned upon this occasion; how then can he say Amen to thy thanksgiving? since he does not conceive what you say.

For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

I thank God that I speak in [unknown] tongues more than all of you;

but in the assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

In the Law it stands written, "'By men of unknown tongues and by the lips of an unknown nation will I speak to this People, but even then they will not listen to Me', says the Lord."

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

What then is the right course, believers? When you meet together, each one has a psalm, a teaching, a revelation (disclosure of special knowledge), a tongue, or an interpretation. Let everything be constructive and edifying and done for the good of all the church.

and if any man do speak in an unknown tongue, let but two speak, or three at the most, and that by turns: and let there be but one to interpret.

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge.

But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

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

What! did God's Message to the world originate with you? or did it find its way to none but you?

But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues.

But let all things be done decently and in order.

But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,

And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

But last of all he was seen by me, as one born out of due time.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.

Now if Christ is preached as raised 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 is Christ not risen:

but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also is our preaching, and vain also your faith.

But if the dead rise not, neither is Christ risen.

but if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
