Now I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction.

Now God has revealed these things to us by the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God.

Now the one planting and the one watering are one in purpose, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the saying: “Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be inflated with pride in favor of one person over another.

when we are slandered, we respond graciously. Even now, we are like the world’s garbage, like the dirt everyone scrapes off their sandals.

For you can have 10,000 instructors in Christ, but you can’t have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Now some are inflated with pride, as though I were not coming to you.

But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

For the unbelieving husband is set apart for God by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is set apart for God by the husband. Otherwise your children would be corrupt, but now they are set apart for God.

And I say this, brothers: The time is limited, so from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none,

Now I am saying this for your own benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but because of what is proper and so that you may be devoted to the Lord without distraction.

However, not everyone has this knowledge. In fact, some have been so used to idolatry up until now that when they eat food offered to an idol, their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

Now when you sin like this against the brothers and wound their weak conscience, you are sinning against Christ.

Now I do all this because of the gospel, so I may become a partner in its benefits.

Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. However, they do it to receive a crown that will fade away, but we a crown that will never fade away.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

Now these things became examples for us, so that we will not desire evil things as they did.

Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written as a warning to us, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

Now I praise you because you always remember me and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.

Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.

But now God has placed each one of the parts in one body just as He wanted.

Now there are many parts, yet one body.

Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it.

For now we see indistinctly, as in a mirror,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part,
but then I will know fully,
as I am fully known.

Now these three remain:
faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is love.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in other languages, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you with a revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

Now brothers, I want to clarify for you the gospel I proclaimed to you; you received it and have taken your stand on it.

Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say, “There is no resurrection of the dead”?

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

When this corruptible is clothed
with incorruptibility,
and this mortal is clothed
with immortality,
then the saying that is written will take place:
Death has been swallowed up in victory.

Now the sting of death is sin,
and the power of sin is the law.

Now about the collection for the saints: You should do the same as I instructed the Galatian churches.

I don’t want to see you now just in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.

About our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but he was not at all willing to come now. However, he will come when he has an opportunity.
