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

For I, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as present,

so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

But now I have written to you, if any one called brother be fornicator, or avaricious, or idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or rapacious, not to mix with him; with such a one not even to eat.

But those without God judges. Remove the wicked person from amongst yourselves.

But brother prosecutes his suit with brother, and that before unbelievers.

But ye do wrong, and defraud, and this your brethren.

And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful to me, but all things do not profit; all things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will bring to nothing both it and them: but the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

But he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit.

Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

But concerning the things of which ye have written to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman;

but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each woman have her own husband.

The wife has not authority over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not authority over his own body, but the wife.

But this I say, as consenting to, not as commanding it.

Now I wish all men to be even as myself: but every one has his own gift of God: one man thus, and another thus.

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them that they remain even as I.

But if they have not control over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

But to the married I enjoin, not I, but the Lord, Let not wife be separated from husband;

(but if also she shall have been separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband;) and let not husband leave wife.

But as to the rest, I say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother; since otherwise indeed your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

But if the unbeliever go away, let them go away; a brother or a sister is not bound in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

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

Hast thou been called being a bondman, let it not concern thee; but and if thou canst become free, use it rather.

But concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give my opinion, as having received mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

But if thou shouldest also marry, thou hast not sinned; and if the virgin marry, they have not sinned: but such shall have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you.

But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having any:

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

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

There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.

But I say this for your own profit; not that I may set a snare before you, but for what is seemly, and waiting on the Lord without distraction.

But if any one think that he behaves unseemly to his virginity, if he be beyond the flower of his age, and so it must be, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry.

But he who stands firm in his heart, having no need, but has authority over his own will, and has judged this in his heart to keep his own virginity, he does well.

A wife is bound for whatever time her husband lives; but if the husband be fallen asleep, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord.

But she is happier if she so remain, according to my judgment; but I think that I also have God's Spirit.

But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

But if any one love God, he is known of him):

But knowledge is not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.

But see lest anywise this your right to eat itself be a stumbling-block to the weak.

If others partake of this right over you, should not rather we? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ.

But I have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for it were good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.

For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with an administration.

to those without law, as without law, (not as without law to God, but as legitimately subject to Christ,) in order that I might gain those without law.

Know ye not that they who run in the race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain.

But every one that contends for a prize is temperate in all things: they then indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

But I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest after having preached to others I should be myself rejected.

But these things happened as types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.

No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to bear, but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that ye should be able to bear it.

But that what the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not wish you to be in communion with demons.

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

Let no one seek his own advantage, but that of the other.

But if any one of the unbelievers invite you, and ye are minded to go, all that is set before you eat, making no inquiry for conscience sake.

But if any one say to you, This is offered to holy purposes, do not eat, for his sake that pointed it out, and conscience sake;

but conscience, I mean, not thine own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

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

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

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved woman.

For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it be shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.

For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.

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

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

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

But woman, if she have long hair, it is glory to her; for the long hair is given to her in lieu of a veil.

But if any one think to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.

But in prescribing to you on this which I now enter on, I do not praise, namely, that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.

But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged.

But being judged, we are disciplined of the Lord, that we may 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.

But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;

and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.

But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.

But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.

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 also the body is not one member but many.

But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased him.

But if all were one member, where the body?

But now the members are many, and the body one.

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

but our comely parts have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to the part that lacked;

that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.

But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.

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 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 shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.

does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth,

Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away.

but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away.

For we see now through a dim window obscurely, but then face to face; now I know partially, but then I shall know according as I also have been known.

Follow after love, and be emulous of spiritual manifestations, but rather that ye may prophesy.

For he that speaks with a tongue does not speak to men but to God: for no one hears; but in spirit he speaks mysteries.

But he that prophesies speaks to men in edification, and encouragement, and consolation.

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

Now I desire that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy. But greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit prays, 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.
