Last of all, as though to one born at the wrong time, ¹  he appeared to me also.

And I say this, brothers and sisters: ¹  The time is short. So then those who have wives should be as those who have none,

Then he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters ¹  at one time, most of whom are still alive, ²  though some have fallen asleep. ³ 

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

For when it is time to eat, everyone proceeds with his own supper. One is hungry and another becomes drunk.

For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

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.

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 this knowledge is not shared by all. And some, by being accustomed to idols in former times, eat this food as an idol sacrifice, and their conscience, because it is weak, is defiled.

In the same way, he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, every time you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

Was anyone called after he had been circumcised? He should not try to undo his circumcision. ¹  Was anyone called who is uncircumcised? He should not get circumcised.

With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers, ¹  but it was simply not his intention to come now. ²  He will come when he has the opportunity.

Who ever serves in the army at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not consume its milk?

I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus.

Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory.

If someone speaks in a tongue, it should be two, or at the most three, one after the other, and someone must interpret.

So then, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

Fool! What you sow will not come to life unless it dies.

Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Mosaic law? ¹  Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish?

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.
