For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.

For even though I am absent physically, I am present in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did this, just as though I were present.

Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough – you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

Or do you not know that anyone who is united with a prostitute is one body with her? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”

For how do you know, wife, whether you will bring your husband to salvation? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will bring your wife to salvation?

For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. In the same way, the one who was called as a free person is Christ’s slave.

But in my opinion, she will be happier if she remains as she is – and I think that I too have the Spirit of God!

If after all there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),

If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you, for you are the confirming sign of my apostleship in the Lord.

For it is written in the law of Moses, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” God is not concerned here about oxen, is he?

Or is he not surely speaking for our benefit? It was written for us, because the one plowing and threshing ought to work in hope of enjoying the harvest.

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,

and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they were all drinking from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

I do not mean yours but the other person’s. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience?

But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is one and the same thing as having a shaved head.

For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman. But all things come from God.

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread,

For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
