For you were made rich in every way in him, in all your speech and in every kind of knowledge --

For I decided to be concerned about nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

But just as it is written, "Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him."

For who among men knows the things of a man except the man's spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

The unbeliever does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to advise him? But we have the mind of Christ.

If someone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, which is what you are.

Guard against self-deception, each of you. If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise.

But the one united with the Lord is one spirit with him.

To the rest I say -- I, not the Lord -- if a brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is happy to live with him, he should not divorce her.

And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is happy to live with her, she should not divorce him.

In whatever situation someone was called, brothers and sisters, let him remain in it with God.

Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace for him,

A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that when you assemble it does not lead to judgment. I will give directions about other matters when I come.

But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God.

Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ from the dead, when in reality he did not raise him, if indeed the dead are not raised.

But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits; then when Christ comes, those who belong to him.

For he has put everything in subjection under his feet. But when it says "everything" has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to him.

And when all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

So then, let no one treat him with contempt. But send him on his way in peace so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him with the brothers.

With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was simply not his intention to come now. He will come when he has the opportunity.
