Whether then it was I or they, this is the way we preach and this is the way you believed.

Listen, ¹  I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, ²  but we will all be changed –

I say this to your shame! Is there no one among you wise enough to settle disputes between fellow Christians? ¹ 

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!

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

Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

Now I want to make clear for you, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand,

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

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, ¹  but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.

It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, the kind of immorality that is not permitted even among the Gentiles, so that someone is cohabiting with ¹  his father’s wife.

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel I may offer the gospel free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights in the gospel.

just as I also try to please everyone in all things. I do not seek my own benefit, but the benefit ¹  of many, so that they may be saved.

What should you do then, brothers and sisters? ¹  When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.
