Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is?

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

Now when you come together at the same place, you are not really eating the Lord’s Supper.

So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

With regard to spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.

For in fact the body is not a single member, but many.

But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.

For you are certainly giving thanks well, but the other person is not strengthened.

I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you,

Two or three prophets should speak and the others should evaluate what is said.

And if someone sitting down receives a revelation, the person who is speaking should conclude.

Last of all, as though to one born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

And if it seems advisable that I should go also, they will go with me.

Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong.

All the brothers and sisters send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

Let anyone who has no love for the Lord be accursed. Our Lord, come!

My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.

And with this confidence I intended to come to you first so that you would get a second opportunity to see us,
