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<n id="1" /> of my apostleship in the Lord.

Do we not have the right to the company of a believing wife, like the other apostles and the Lord&#8217;s brothers and Cephas?

For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord&#8217;s death until he comes.p>

It is written in the law: &#8220;<i><b>By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangersb> <b>I will speak to this peopleb>, <b>yet not even in this way will they listen to meb>i>,&#8221;<n id="1" /> says the Lord.

For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.

<p class="bodytext">The churches in the province of Asia<n id="1" /> send greetings to you. Aquila and Prisca<n id="2" /> greet<n id="3" /> you warmly in the Lord, with the church that meets in their house.

to the church of God that is in Corinth,<n id="1" /> to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be saints, with all those in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.<n id="2" />

So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will<n id="1" /> bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition<n id="2" /> from God.p>

For this reason, I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and faithful son in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ,<n id="1" /> as I teach them everywhere in every church.

Some of you once lived this way.<n id="1" /> But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ<n id="2" /> and by the Spirit of our God.p>

<p class="bodytext">To the rest I say &#8211; I, not the Lord<n id="1" /> &#8211; if a brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is happy to live with him, he should not divorce her.

<p class="bodytext">A wife is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband dies,<n id="1" /> she is free to marry anyone she wishes (only someone in the Lord).

yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we live, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we live.<n id="1" />p>

So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, &#8220;Jesus is cursed,&#8221; and no one can say, &#8220;Jesus is Lord,&#8221; except by the Holy Spirit.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">I urge you, brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together,<n id="2" /> to end your divisions,<n id="3" /> and to be united by the same mind and purpose.<n id="4" />

and he is divided. An unmarried woman<n id="1" /> or a virgin<n id="2" /> is concerned about the things of the Lord, to be holy both in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world, how to please her husband.
