'Things' in the Bible

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;

and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, and things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;

but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,

but God has revealed to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.

But we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:

which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual things by spiritual means.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned;

but the spiritual discerns all things, and he is discerned of no one.

So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours.

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours;

So that do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have his praise from God.

Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the lesson of not letting your thoughts go above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for such a one against another.

Not as chiding do I write these things to you, but as my beloved children I admonish you.

If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those to judge who are little esteemed in the assembly.

And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

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

But concerning the things of which ye have written to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman;

But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;

but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.

There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.

But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God save one.

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

For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol?

Do I speak these things as a man, or does not the law also say these things?

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

If others partake of this right over you, should not rather we? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ.

Do ye not know that they who labour at sacred things eat of the offerings offered in the temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar?

But I have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for it were good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.

I became to the weak, as weak, in order that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, in order that at all events I might save some.

And I do all things for the sake of the glad tidings, that I may be fellow-partaker with them.

But every one that contends for a prize is temperate in all things: they then indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

But these things happened as types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.

Now all these things happened to them as types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

All things are lawful, but all are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all do not edify.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all things to God's glory.

Even as I also please all in all things; not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.

For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman, but all things of God.

If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.

and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.

But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

And now abide faith, hope, love; these three things; and the greater of these is love.

Even lifeless things giving a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give not distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

What is it then, brethren? whenever ye come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.

If any one thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognise the things that I write to you, that it is the Lord's commandment.

But let all things be done comelily and with order.

For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, it is evident that it is except him who put all things in subjection to him.

But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)

Let all things ye do be done in love.
