Which do you prefer? Should I come to you with a stick, or with love and a gentle spirit?

Everyone should stay in the same condition in which he was called.

Brothers, everyone should stay in the same condition in which he was called by God.

and every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, which is the same as having her head shaved.

You have homes in which to eat and drink, don't you? Or do you despise God's church and humiliate those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I will not praise you for this!

Now I'm making known to you, brothers, the gospel that I proclaimed to you, which you accepted, on which you have taken your stand,

and by which you are also being saved if you hold firmly to the message I proclaimed to you unless, of course, your faith was worthless.
