For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to advise him? But we have the mind of Christ.

If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive.

What should I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praises with my spirit, but I will also sing praises with my mind.

but in the church I want to speak five words with my mind to instruct others, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

So if the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and unbelievers or uninformed people enter, will they not say that you have lost your minds?

I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together, to end your divisions, and to be united by the same mind and purpose.

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.

But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him.”

Sober up as you should, and stop sinning! For some have no knowledge of God – I say this to your shame!

I am speaking to thoughtful people. Consider what I say.

Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust, and like the one from heaven, so too those who are heavenly.

So let the one who thinks he is standing be careful that he does not fall.

The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.

My conversation and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

And I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord.

Do you not know that all the runners in a stadium compete, but only one receives the prize? So run to win.

For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea,

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.
