And there are different ministries, but the same Lord.

And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” ¹ 

For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted because of this. The one who judges me is the Lord.

To the married I give this command – not I, but the Lord ¹  – a wife should not divorce a husband

In the same way the Lord commanded those who proclaim the gospel to receive their living by the gospel.

What is Apollos, really? Or what is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, and each of us in the ministry the Lord gave us. ¹ 

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.

Nevertheless, ¹  as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each person, so must he live. I give this sort of direction in all the churches.

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,

It is written in the law: “By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me,” 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.

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

“Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both.” ¹  The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

To the rest I say – I, not the Lord ¹  – if a brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is happy to live with him, he should not divorce her.

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. ¹ 

So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
