But to me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a man's day; but I do not judge my own self,

for I know nothing by myself. Yet I have not been justified by this, but He who judges me is the Lord.

We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honorable, but we are despised.

I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills. And I will not know the speech of those who are puffed up, but the power.

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

For as being absent in body but present in spirit, I indeed have judged already as though I were present concerning him who worked out this thing;

Therefore let us keep the feast; not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

But now I have written to you not to associate intimately, if any man called a brother and is either a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

But God judges those who are outside. Therefore put out from you the evil one.

But brother goes to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

But you do wrong and defraud, and these things to brothers.

And such were some of you. But you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

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

Meats for the belly and the belly for meats, but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body.

But he being joined to the Lord is one spirit.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

But, because of the fornications, let each have his own wife, and let each have her own husband.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. And likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.

But I speak this according to permission, not according to commandment.

For I would that all men were even as I myself am. But each has his proper gift from God, one according to this manner and another according to that.

But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

And to the married I command (not I, but the Lord), a woman not to be separated from her husband.

But if she is indeed separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to leave his wife.

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to dwell with him, do not let him put her away.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; else your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

But if the unbelieving one separates, let him be separated. A brother or a sister is not in bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.

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

Were you called as a slave? It does not matter to you, but if you are able to become free, use it rather.

But concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord. Yet I give my judgment, as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

But if you do marry, you did not sin; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you.

But this I say, brothers, The time is short. It remains that both those who have wives should be as not having one.

But I desire you to be without anxiety. The one who is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how to please the Lord.

But the one who is married cares for the things of the world, how to please his wife.

The wife and the virgin are different. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

And this I speak for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare on you, but for that which is right, and that you may attend on the Lord without distraction.

But if anyone thinks it behaving himself indecently toward his virgin (if she is past her prime, and so it ought to be) let him do what he will; he does not sin; let them marry.

But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but who has authority over his own will (and has so judged in his heart that he will keep his virginity) he does well.

So then he who gives in marriage does well. But he who does not give in marriage does better.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives, but if her husband sleeps in death, she is at liberty to be remarried to whom she will, only in the Lord.

But she is happier if she so remains, according to my judgment. And I also think that I have the Spirit of God.

But concerning the sacrifices to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

But if any one loves God, he has been known of him.

but there is to us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we by Him.

But this knowledge is not in all. But some being aware of the idol eat as an idolatrous sacrifice until now, and their conscience being weak is defiled.

But food does not commend us to God. For neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours becomes a stumbling block to those who are weak.

If others have a share of this authority over you, rather should not we? But we have not used this authority, but we endured all things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

But I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for it is good for me rather to die than that anyone nullify my glorying.

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I am entrusted with a stewardship.

To those who are outside Law, I became as outside Law (not being outside law to God, but under the Law to Christ), so that I might gain those who are outside Law.

Do you not know that those running in a race all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.

And everyone who strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Then those truly that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

But I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest proclaiming to others I myself might be rejected.

But with many of them God was not well pleased, for they were scattered in the wilderness.

No temptation has taken you but what is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the temptation also will make a way to escape, so that you may be able to bear it.

But I say that the things which the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I do not desire that you should have fellowship with demons.

All things are lawful to me, but not all things profit. All things are lawful to me, but not all things build up.

Let no one seek his own, but each one another's.

But if anyone says to you, This is slain in sacrifice to idols, do not eat for the sake of him who showed it, and for conscience' sake; "for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it";

conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another's conscience?

even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, so 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.

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head; for that is even the same as if she were shaved.

For if the woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because 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.

Nor was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man.

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

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

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

But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God.

But in enjoining this, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

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

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

But if anyone hungers, let him eat at home, so that you do not come together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says Jesus is a curse, and that no one can say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

But there are differences of gifts, but the same Spirit.

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

And there are differences of workings, but it is the same God working all things in all.

But to each one is given the showing forth of the Spirit to our profit.

But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing separately to each one as He desires.

For the body is not one member, but many.

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

But now indeed many are the members, yet only one body.

But much rather the members of the body seeming to be weaker are necessary.

For our presentable members have no need, but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to the member having need;

that there not be division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

But zealously strive after the better gifts. And yet I show to you a more excellent way.

Charity does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth,

Charity never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will be abolished; if tongues, they shall cease; if knowledge, it will be abolished.

But when the perfect thing comes, then that which is in part will be caused to cease.

When I was an infant, I spoke as an infant, I thought as an infant, I reasoned as an infant. But when I became a man, I did away with the things of an infant.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall fully know even as I also am fully known.

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

Follow after charity and desire spiritual things, but rather that you may prophesy.

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. For no one hears, but in spirit he speaks mysteries.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for building up, and exhortation, and comfort.
