Or know ye not that he joined to a harlot is one body? for they shall be, he says, they two into one flesh.

And he joined to the Lord is one spirit.

Flee fornication. Every sin which if a man do is without the body; but he committing fornication sins against his own body.

Or know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?

For I will all men to be as also myself. But each has his own favor of God, the one truly thus, and the other thus.

And I say to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain also as I.

And if they have not self command, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to be set on fire.

And if the unbelieving is separated, let him be separated. A brother or a sister has not been reduced to slavery in such things as these: and God has called us in peace.

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

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

A servant wert thou called? let it not concern thee: for if thou art able to be free, rather make use of it.

For the servant called in the Lord, is the freedman of the Lord: likewise also the freedman called, is the servant of Christ.

But for virgins I have not an order of the Lord: and I give an opinion as compassionated by the Lord to be faithful.

I think therefore this to be good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man to be thus.

And this I say, brethren, the time is restricted; as to the rest, that they also having wives should be as not having;

And they weeping, as not weeping; and they rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and they buying, as not possessing.

And they using this world, as not using; for the form of this world passes away.

The woman was bound by law for as much time as her husband lives; and if her husband be set to sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

And she is happier if she so remain, according to my opinion: and I also think to have the Spirit of God.

And if any one thinks to know anything, as yet he has known nothing as he ought to know.

And if any one love God, the same is known of him.)

But to us one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom all things, and we by him.

But not in all, knowledge: and some with consciousness of the idol even till now eat as a sacrifice to idols: and their consciousness being weak is contaminated.

And food sets us not before God: for neither, if we eat, do we abound; neither if we eat not, do we want.

My justification to them examining me is this,

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife; as also the rest of the sent, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

For in the law of Moses has been written, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox grinding. Is there not care to God for oxen?

Or does he say altogether on account of us? For it was written on account of us: that he ploughing ought to plough upon hope; and he grinding upon hope, to participate with his hope.

If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it great if we shall reap your carnal things?

For if I announce the good news, there is no boasting to me: for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I announce not the good news!

What reward therefore is to me? That announcing good news, I shall make the good news of Christ not expensive, not to make use of my power in the good news.

And I was to the Jews as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: to them under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them under the law;

To the lawless, as lawless, (not being lawless to God, but subject to the law to Christ,) that I might gain the lawless,

I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak: I have been all things to all, that altogether I might save some.

I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so practise I pugilism, as not laying stripes upon air:

And these things were our types, that we be not eagerly desirous of evil things, as they also eagerly desired.

Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them; as has been written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

Neither should we commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand.

Neither should we tempt Christ, as also some of them tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.

Neither do ye murmur, as also some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

As to the wise speak I; judge ye what I say.

The cup of praise which we praise, is it not the mutual participation of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the mutual participation of the body of Christ?

What do I say therefore? that an idol is any thing? or that what is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?

And if any one say to you, This is sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for him making it known, and consciousness: for of the Lord the earth, and its fulness:

And consciousness, I say, not thine, but another's: for that why is my freedom judged by another's consciousness

As I also please in all things to all, not seeking my advantage, but that of many, that they might be saved.

Be ye imitators of me, as I also of Christ.

And I approve you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and as I have delivered to you, do ye hold the traditions.

And I will you to know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman the man; and the head of Christ God.

And every woman praying or prophesying with head uncovered shames her head: for it is one and the same to her having been shaved.

For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: and if shameful to the woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

For truly the man ought not to have the head covered, being the image and glory of God: and the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

For as the woman by the man, so also the man by the woman; and all things of God.

Judge in yourselves: is it suitable for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man truly have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?

And if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for the hair has been given her for a cloak.

Therefore ye coming together upon the same, it is not to eat the Lord's supper.

For each takes his own supper in eating: and one is truly hungry, and one is intoxicated.

And having given thanks, he brake, and said, Take ye, eat; this is my body, broken for you: this do ye for my remembrance.

Likewise the cup also, after supping, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink, for my remembrance.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye announce the Lord's death till he come.

Ye know that ye were the nations, to dumb idols, as ye were led, being carried away.

And there are distinctions of performances, and it is the same God performing all things in all.

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

For truly to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

And all these works one and the same Spirit, dividing to each his own things as be will.

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, is one body: so also is Christ.

For also the body is not one member, but many.

If the foot say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; by this is it not of the body

And if the ear say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; by this is it not of the body

And now has God set the members each one of them in the body, as he would.

And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer together; or one member is honoured, all the members rejoice together.

Love is slow to anger, possesses kindness; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,

It demeans itself not unbecomingly, seeks not the things of itself, is not irritated, reckons no evil;

When I was a child, as a child I spake, as a child I thought, as a child I reckoned: and when I had become a man, I left unemployed the things of a child.

For now we see by a mirror in an enigma; then face to face: now I know by parts; and then shall I know as I was known.

As inanimate things giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if it give not a distinction to sounds, how shall the piping or harping be known?

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, and my mind is unfruitful.

What therefore is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the mind: I will play on the harp in the spirit, and I will play also on the harp in the mind.

For thou truly givest thanks well, but the other is not built up.

And If all prophesy, and any unbelieving, or ignorant private individual come in, he is refuted by all, he is examined by all:

And so the hidden things of his heart are made manifest; and so having fallen upon the face, he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly with you.

Therefore, what is it brethren when ye come together, every one of you has a Psalms, has teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretatior. Let all things be for the building of the house.

For God is not of unsteadiness, but of peace, as in all the churches of the holy ones.

Let your women be silent in the churches: for it has not been committed to them to speak; but to be subjected, as also says the law.

And if they will learn anything, let them ask their own husbands in the house; for it is shameful for women to speak in the church.

And if any is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

And last of all exactly as an abortive, was he also seen by me.

And if Christ is proclaimed that he arose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no rising up of the dead?

And if there is no rising up of the dead, neither has Christ risen:

And if Christ was not raised up, your faith is vain; yet are ye in your sins.

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

The last enemy, death, is left unemployed.

For he subjected all things under his feet. And when he said that all things have been subjected, it is manifest that without him having subjected all things to him.

If according to man I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what the profit to me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

Froth, what thou sowest is not made alive, except it die:

And God gives it a body as he would, and to each of the seed its own body.

So also the rising up of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
