For they refreshed my spirit and yours. So then, recognize people like this.

All the brothers and sisters ¹  send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

Do not deprive each other, except by mutual agreement for a specified time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. ¹  Then resume your relationship, ²  so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

But if you marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face difficult circumstances, ¹  and I am trying to spare you such problems. ² 

Guard against self-deception, each of you. ¹  If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise.

We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!

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 the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to settle trivial suits?

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!

I am saying this for your benefit, not to place a limitation on you, but so that without distraction you may give notable and constant service to the Lord.

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,

and after he had given thanks he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

So if the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and unbelievers or uninformed people enter, will they not say that you have lost your minds?

For I passed on to you as of first importance ¹  what I also received – that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,

And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare seed ¹  – perhaps of wheat or something else.

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

just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you –
