1 Corinthians 4:5

4:5 So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will ¹  bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition ²  from God.

1 Corinthians 5:11

5:11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian ³  who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, ⁴  or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

1 Corinthians 7:12

7:12 To the rest I say – I, not the Lord ⁵  – if a brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is happy to live with him, he should not divorce her.

1 Corinthians 7:37

7:37 But the man who is firm in his commitment, and is under no necessity but has control over his will, and has decided in his own mind to keep his own virgin, does well.

1 Corinthians 9:12

9:12 If others receive this right from you, are we not more deserving?

But we have not made use of this right. Instead we endure everything so that we may not be a hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:3

12:3 So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 13:2

13:2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

1 Corinthians 14:5-6

14:5 I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened.

14:6 Now, brothers and sisters, ¹⁰  if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I help you unless I speak to you with a revelation or with knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

[4:5]  ¹ tn Grk “time, until the Lord comes, who will bring to light.”

[4:5]  ² tn Or “praise.”

[5:11]  ³ tn Grk “a brother,” but the Greek word “brother” may be used for “brother or sister,” “fellow Christian,” or “fellow member of the church.” Here the term “brother” broadly connotes familial relationships within the family of God (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a).

[5:11]  ⁴ tn Or “a reviler”; BDAG 602 s.v. λοίδορος defines the term as “reviler, abusive person.”

[7:12]  ⁵ sn I, not the Lord. Here and in v. 10 Paul distinguishes between his own apostolic instruction and Jesus’ teaching during his earthly ministry. In vv. 12-16, Paul deals with a situation about which the Lord gave no instruction in his earthly ministry.

[9:20]  ⁷ tc The Byzantine text, as well as a few other witnesses (D² [L] Ψ 1881 Ï) lack this parenthetical material, while geographically widespread, early, and diverse witnesses have the words (so א A B C D* F G P 33 104 365 1175 1505 1739 al latt). The phrase may have dropped out accidentally through homoioteleuton (note that both the preceding phrase and the parenthesis end in ὑπὸ νόμον [Jupo nomon, “under the law”]), or intentionally by overscrupulous scribes who felt that the statement “I myself am not under the law” could have led to license.

[10:13]  ⁹ tn Grk “except a human one” or “except one common to humanity.”

[10:13]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “God is faithful who.” The relative pronoun was changed to a personal pronoun in the translation for clarity.

[10:13]  ¹¹ tn The words “to bear” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. They have been supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning.

[14:6]  ¹¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
