We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!

Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to settle trivial suits?

The fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves demonstrates that you have already been defeated. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

I am saying this for your benefit, not to place a limitation on you, but so that without distraction you may give notable and constant service to the Lord.

And I was with you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling.

those with tears like those not weeping, those who rejoice like those not rejoicing, those who buy like those without possessions,

Each competitor must exercise self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.

No, I mean that what the pagans sacrifice is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

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

If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.

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