For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband: else were your children unclean; but they are holy.

But if the unbeliever depart, let them depart; a brother or a sister is not bound in such cases.

But God hath called us to peace; for how knowest thou, O wife, but thou shalt save thy husband; or how knowest thou, O husband, but thou shalt save thy wife?

and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God.

Wast thou called being a slave, be not anxious about it; but if thou canst be made free, prefer it.

But concerning single persons I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgement as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

for a single man to be so. Art thou bound to a wife indeed? seek not to be loosed: but art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

Though, if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: such however will probably have more trouble in life: but I spare you.

But this I say, brethren, that the time is short: it remains therefore, that even those, who have wives, be as though they had none;

And I would have you without anxiety. Now he, that is unmarried, careth for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; but he,

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin: she, that is unmarried, careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she, that is married, is in care about the things of the world, and how she may please her husband.

And this I say for your own benefit, not that I may cast a snare upon you, but in order to recommend that which is fit and becoming before the Lord without distraction.

But if any one think that he acts unbecomingly towards his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and that it ought to be so, let him do what he will; he doth not sin: let them marry.

But he, that is stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath determined in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doth well.

So that he, who giveth her in marriage, doth well; but he, that giveth her not in marriage, doth better.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth: but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord:

but she is happier, in my opinion, if she continue as she is: and I think I have the Spirit of God.

Now as to things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge about them. Knowledge however puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

But if any man love God, he is owned by Him.

As to the eating therefore of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

and lords many,) yet to us there is but one God the Father, from whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him.

But there is not in all men this knowledge: and some with a consciousness of the idol unto this day, eat it as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and so their conscience being weak is defiled.

But meat does not recommend us to God; for neither, if we eat, are we the better; nor the worse, if we eat not.

But see that this liberty of yours be not by any means a stumbling-block to the weak.

But in thus sinning against your brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ:

If others partake of this power over you, may not we rather? though we have not used this power; but we bear all things, least we should cause any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

But I have availed myself of none of these things. Nor have I written these things, that it might be so done as to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any one should make this my glorying void.

What is my reward then but this? that when I preach I may make the gospel of Christ not expensive, that so I may not abuse my power in the gospel.

and to those without the law as without the law, (not being without law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain those who are without the law.

Know ye not, that those, who run in a race, do all indeed run, but one only receiveth the prize? So run that ye may obtain.

And every one that enters the lists is temperate in all things: they indeed do it that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible one.

but I mortify my body and bring it into subjection, least after having preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

But with the greater part of them God was displeased: for they were destroyed in the wilderness.

No temptation has yet taken you but what is common to man: and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to sustain; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

No: but this I say, that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God.

If all things be lawful for me, yet all things are not expedient: all things may be lawful for me, but all things do not edify.

Let no one seek his own only, but every one another's benefit.

But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol,---eat it not; for his sake who informed thee, and for conscience-sake: for, as I said, the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof, so that thou mayst have food enough without it.

Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other's; for why is my liberty to be judged by another man's conscience?

Even as I also endeavour to please all men in all things, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

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

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoureth man her head; for it is even all one as if she were shaved.

For if a woman be not covered, she may as well be shorn: but if it be shameful to a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, he being the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man was not of the woman; but the woman was taken out of the man:

nor was the man created for the sake of the woman, but the woman for the man.

For as the woman was originally from the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things are from God.

but if a woman have long hair it is a glory to her; because the hair was given her as for a veil.

But if any one is pleased to contend for the contrary, I answer, We have no such custom, nor any of the churches of God.

But whilst I am declaring this, I do not commend you, that ye assemble together not for the better, but for the worse.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of this bread and drink of this cup:

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

I must acquaint you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus a curse: and no one 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 different offices, but the same Lord:

but it is the same God who worketh them all in every one.

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the advantage of all.

but all these worketh that one and the same Spirit distributing to every one in particular as He sees fit.

For as the body is one, and hath many members; but all the parts of this one body, though many, are but one body:

for the body is not one member, but many.

But now God hath placed the members, every one of them in the body, as He pleased.

whereas now there are many members, yet but one body.

But those parts of the body, which seem to be weaker, are much more necessary:

But God hath so blended the several parts of the body, giving greater honor to that which was deficient,

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

have all miraculous powers? have all the gifts of healing? do all speak many languages? do all interpret? but ye are all zealous for the best gifts.

For if I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and have not charity, I am but as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

suspecteth no evil, rejoiceth not at injustice, but rejoiceth in the truth:

Charity never faileth: but as to prophecies, they shall be abolished; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be laid aside.

For now we know but in part, and we prophesy but in part.

But when that which is perfect shall come, then that which is defective shall be laid aside.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned as a child: but when I became a man, I laid aside childish things.

For we see now as through a mirror obscurely: but then we shall see face to face. Now I know but in part, but then I shall know even as I am known.

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

Labour after charity, and be desirous of spiritual gifts: but especially that ye may prophesy.

For he, that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no one understandeth, though in spirit he speaketh mysteries.

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

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

I could wish 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 edification.

But if I know not the force of the words, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian to me.

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit indeed prayeth, but my meaning is fruitless.

What is then to be done? I will pray with the Spirit, but I will pray to be understood: I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing to be understood.

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

But in a public assembly I had rather speak five words to be understood, that I may instruct others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

My brethren, be not children in sense: but in malice be infants, and in your judgements shew yourselves to be men.

So that tongues are for a sign, not to believers but to unbelievers: but prophecy not to unbelievers but to those that believe.

But if all prophesy, and there come in an unbeliever, or one unlearned, he is convinced by all, he is judged by all.

But if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly; and let him speak to himself and to God.

And let but two or three of the prophets speak, and the others judge.

for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as we see in all the assemblies of the saints.

Let your women be silent in your assemblies: for it is not permitted to them to speak, but they are to be in subjection, as the law saith.

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

but let all things be done decently and in order.

after that He appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain yet alive, but some are fallen asleep.

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

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and is become the first-fruits of them that slept:

But each in their proper order: the first-fruits, Christ; afterwards they that are Christ's, at his coming.

for He hath put all things under his feet. But when He saith that all things are put under Him, it is plain that we are to except Him who put all things under Him.

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

And as to what thou sowest, thou sowest not the very body that shall be produced, but a bare grain, it may be, of wheat, or any other corn:

All flesh is not the same kind of flesh: but there is one flesh of men, and another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
