For since death came through a man,<n id="1" /> the resurrection of the dead also came through a man.<n id="2" />

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

You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of men.

For who among men knows the things of a man except the man&#8217;s spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,<n id="1" /> and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.<n id="2" />p>

so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on the power of God.p>

So then, no more boasting about mere mortals!<n id="1" /> For everything belongs to you,

<t /><p class="bodytext">One<n id="1" /> should think about us this way &#8211; as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now with regard to the issues you wrote about: &#8220;It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.&#8221;<n id="1" />

Am I saying these things only on the basis of common sense,<n id="1" /> or does the law not say this as well?

But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening,<n id="1" /> encouragement, and consolation.

for you are still influenced by the flesh.<n id="1" /> For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people?<n id="2" />

For whenever someone says, &#8220;I am with Paul,&#8221; or &#8220;I am with Apollos,&#8221; are you not merely human?<n id="1" />p>

Because of the impending crisis I think it best for you to remain as you are.

A person should examine himself first,<n id="1" /> and in this way<n id="2" /> let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.

For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, for no one understands; he is speaking mysteries by the Spirit.<n id="1" />

For if only in this life we have hope in Christ, we should be pitied more than anyone.p>

The unbeliever<n id="1" /> does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

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.

Flee sexual immorality! &#8220;Every sin a person commits is outside of the body&#8221;<n id="1" /> &#8211; but the immoral person sins against his own body.
