just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you –

For there must in fact be divisions among you, so that those of you who are approved may be evident.

I say this to your shame! Is there no one among you wise enough to settle disputes between fellow Christians?

Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand,

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead.

But you should be eager for the greater gifts. And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison.

Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed –

I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus.

For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters, that there are quarrels among you.

For I decided to be concerned about nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

So, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but instead as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.

for you are still influenced by the flesh. For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people?

Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

If we sowed spiritual blessings among you, is it too much to reap material things from you?

I praise you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions just as I passed them on to you.

For in the first place, when you come together as a church I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.
