Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?

For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.

For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,

Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"

Therefore let's not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother's way, or an occasion for falling.

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don't destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus,

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

But, as it is written, "They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven't heard will understand."

but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,

But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.

Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

(14:24) Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages,

(14:25) but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations;

so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."

so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.

(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don't know whether I baptized any other.)

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn't know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

that no flesh should boast before God.

For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.

But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.

Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

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

Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

Don't you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

Don't you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?

No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that against your brothers.

Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

Don't you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

Or don't you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, "The two," says he, "will become one flesh."

Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

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

For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;

But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn't yet know as he ought to know.

Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

However, that knowledge isn't in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.

Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I don't cause my brother to stumble.

Have we no right to eat and to drink?

Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?

If others partake of this right over you, don't we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.

Don't you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?

Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.

Don't you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

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

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

Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,

But if one of those who don't believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.

Give no occasions for stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;

Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even 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 if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God's assemblies.

In the same way he also took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."

Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don't want you to be ignorant.

You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
