But he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that 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 upon you, but for that which is proper, and that you may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

But if any man think that he behaves himself improperly toward his virgin, if she pass the prime of her age, and need so require, let him do what he desires, he sins not: let them marry.

Nevertheless he that stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so decreed in his heart that he will keep her his virgin, does well.

So then he that gives her in marriage does well; but he that gives her not in marriage does better.

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

But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

Now concerning things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

But if any man loves God, the same is known by him.

As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

But to us there is but one God, the Father, of 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 every man that knowledge: for some with conscience about the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

But food commends us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.

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

But when you sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

If others be partakers of this right over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this right; but endure all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my boasting void.

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a stewardship of the gospel is committed unto me.

To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

Know you not that they who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.

And every man that strives for self control is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

But I roughly treat my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.

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

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

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with demons.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Let no man seek his own, but every man another's good.

If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and you be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience's sake.

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

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

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

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 that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same as if she were shaven.

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

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since 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.

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

But if a woman has 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 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 of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

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

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

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

And there are diversities of workings, but it is the same God who works all in all.

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

But in all these works that one and same Spirit, dividing to every man individually as he will.

For the body is not one member, but many.

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

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

For our more respectable parts have no need: but God has arranged the body together, having given more abundant honor 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.

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

Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

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

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

When I was a child, I spoke 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 in a mirror dimly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

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

Follow after love, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.

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

But he that prophesies speaks unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

He that speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the church.

I would that you all spoke with tongues, but rather that you prophesied: for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

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

For you verily give thanks well, but the other is not edified.

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

Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serves not for them that believe not, but for them that believe.

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

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

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 submissive, as also says the law.

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

After that, he was seen of over five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep.

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 labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.

For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is clear that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.

And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

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

And that which you sow, you sow not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may by chance be wheat, or of some other grain:

But God gives it a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed its own body.

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

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

For I will not see you now in passing; but I trust to tarry awhile with you, if the Lord permits.

But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

Let no man therefore despise him: but send him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.

Concerning our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead:
