Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome the evil with the good.

For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Whether do you not wish to fear the authority? do the good, and you shall have praise from it:

for he is the minister of God for you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, executing judgment unto wrath unto the one doing evil.

Therefore it is necessary to submit, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.

Owe no man anything, but to love one another with divine love: for the one loving another with divine love has fulfilled the law.

For the night is far spent, and the day is at hand. Therefore let us lay aside the works of the darkness, and let us put on the arms of the light.

but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the lust of the flesh.

But receive to yourselves him who is weak in faith, not into disputations of doubtful matters.

Who art thou judging another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls: but he shall stand; for God is able to make him stand.

But why do you judge your neighbor, or indeed why do you discount your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

Then let us no longer judge one another: but rather judge this, not to place before a brother an offence for a stumblingblock.

But if your brother is grieved on account of your meat, you are no longer walking in divine love. Do not by your meat destroy him for whom Christ died.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Do not destroy the work of God on account of meat. All things are pure; but it is evil to the man who eats with offence:

but if he may eat doubting, he has been condemned, because it is not of faith; but every thing which is not of faith is sin.

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

for Christ did not please himself; but, as has been written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

But may the God of patience and consolation grant unto you to think the same things among one another with reference to Christ Jesus.

But I am indeed persuaded, my brethren, concerning you, that you are also full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, being able also to admonish one another.

But I have written unto you more boldly in part, as reminding you, on account of the grace which has been given unto me from God,

but being so ambitious not to preach the gospel, where Christ has been named, in order that I may not build on another man's foundation;

but, as has been written, Those, to whom he has not been preached, shall see concerning him, and they who have not heard shall understand.

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

as I may journey into Spain, for I hope traveling through to see you, and by you to be sent forth thither, if in the first place I may be satisfied with your company??25 but now I journey to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints.

but I know that coming unto you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

But I exhort you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you cooperate with me in your prayers to God in my behalf;

But I exhort you, brethren, to mark those who cause divisions and stumblings, contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and depart from them.

For such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own stomach; and through fair speeches and eulogies deceive the hearts of the innocent.

but having now indeed been made manifest, through the prophetical scriptures, and having been made known to all the Gentiles, according to the commandment of the eternal God, unto the obedience of faith;

But I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you may all speak the same things, and that there may be no schisms among you; but you may be perfected in the same mind and in the same disposition.

But I baptized also the family of Stephanas: besides, I know not if I baptized any other.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with the wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made of none effect.

For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those who are saved it is the power of God.

but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness;

but to you who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong;

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

And my speech and my preaching were not in the persuasive words of wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and the power:

in order that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But we speak wisdom among the perfect: not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nought:

but we speak the wisdom of God having been hidden in a mystery, which God predestinated before the ages unto our glory:

But, as has been written, the things which eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and has not entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

But God has revealed them to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; in order that we may know the things which have been graciously given unto us from God.

Which things indeed we speak, not in the teachable words of human wisdom, but in the teachable words of the Spirit, expounding spiritual things to spiritual people.

But the intellectual man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But the spiritual man discerns all things, and is himself discerned by no one.

For who knows the mind of the Lord, who shall give him counsel? But we have the mind of Christ.

And I, brethren, was not able to speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even babes in Christ.

I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:

Then what is Apollos? and what is Paul? But ministers through whom ye believed; even as the Lord gave to each one.

I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

So neither is the one planting, nor the one watering anything, but God the one giving the increase.

But he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

But if any one builds upon the foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

But if the work of any one shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss; but himself shall be saved, but as through the fire.

But to me it is the smallest matter, that I may be judged by you, or by human day: but I do not judge myself.

For I know nothing against myself; but in this I am not justified; and the Lord is the one judging me.

But, brethren, I have transferred these things to myself and Apollos on your account: that you may learn among us not to be wise above what is written; in order that you may not be puffed up one in behalf of one against another.

For who judges you? and what have you which you did not receive. But if indeed you received it, why do you boast, as not having received it?

We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are glorious, but we are dishonorable.

I do not write these things shaming you, but admonishing you as my beloved children.

For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, but you have not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

But some were inflated, as if I was not coming unto you.

But I will come to you quickly, if the Lord may will; and I will know not the word of those who have been puffed up, but the power.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

For indeed I, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus done this, as being present,

So let us feast, not on the old leaven, nor on the leaven of sin and iniquity, but on the unleavened bread of purity and truth.

For why is it for me to judge the outsiders? Do you not judge those within? But God will judge those without.

But does brother go to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers?

But you inflict injustice, and defraud, and that your brethren.

And such were some of you: but you have washed, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable: all things are lawful, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Meats for the stomach, and the stomach for meats: but God will destroy both this and them. The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

but God both raised up the Lord, and will raise you up through his power.

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

for you have been bought with a price: indeed glorify God in your body.

But concerning those things about which you wrote to me: That it is good for a man not to receive a wife:

but on account of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

The wife has not the authority over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not the authority over his own body, but the wife.

But I speak this according to knowledge, not according to commandment.

But I wish that all men were even as myself; but each one has his own gift from God, some one, and some another.

But I speak to the unmarried and the widows, that it is good for them that they may remain even as I:

but if they do not contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

But I proclaim to those who have married, not I, but the Lord, That a wife shall not depart from her husband

(but if indeed she may depart, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled unto her husband); and that the husband shall not send away the wife.

But I say to the rest, not the Lord, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is willing to live with him, let him not send her away.

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the brother. Since then your children are unclean; but now they are holy.

But if the unbeliever departs, let him or her depart; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. God has called you in peace.

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

Have you been called being a slave? let it not be a care to you: but if indeed you are able to become free, use it in preference.

You have been bought with a price; be not the slaves of men.

But concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give knowledge, as one having obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

But I consider this to be good on account of the present distress, that it is good for a man so to be.

But if, indeed you may marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin may marry, she has not sinned; but such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you.

But I say this, brethren; that the time is at hand, that moreover indeed those having wives may be as those not having;

but the one having married cares for the things of the world, in order that he may please his wife.

A wife and a virgin truly also differ: the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but she having married cares for the things of the world, that she may please her husband.

I speak this for the profit of you yourselves; not that I may cast a burden upon you, but for that which is pleasing and acceptable to the Lord without perturbation.

But if any one considers that he is acting indiscreetly towards his virgin, if she may be marriageable, and thus it ought so to be, let him do what he wishes; he does not sin; let them marry.
