For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to advise him? ¹  But we have the mind of Christ.

If ¹  I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive.

What should I do? ¹  I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praises with my spirit, but I will also sing praises with my mind.

but in the church I want to speak five words with my mind to instruct others, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

I urge you, brothers and sisters, ¹  by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together, ²  to end your divisions, ³  and to be united by the same mind and purpose. ⁴ 

But the man who is firm in his commitment, and is under no necessity but has control over his will, and has decided in his own mind to keep his own virgin, does well.

But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, ¹  are the things God has prepared for those who love him.” ² 

Brothers and sisters, ¹  do not be children in your thinking. Instead, be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.

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?

So let the one who thinks he is standing be careful that he does not fall.

And I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord.

For I do not want you to be unaware, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea,

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, ¹  and God is the head of Christ.

Sober up as you should, and stop sinning! For some have no knowledge of God – I say this to your shame!

In no way did I mean the immoral people of this world, or the greedy and swindlers and idolaters, since you would then have to go out of the world.

Or is he not surely speaking for our benefit? It was written for us, because the one plowing and threshing ought to work in hope of enjoying the harvest.

and he is divided. An unmarried woman ¹  or a virgin 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.
