If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.

On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.

If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.

If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.

But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.

They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.

Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.

None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,

If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.

If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.

If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.

If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise.

I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

Even if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.

Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?

But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If a brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.

And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.

Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.

But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;

…those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

…those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

…those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

…and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.

However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.

However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.

A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, as long as he belongs to the Lord.

In my judgment, however, she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.

For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),

But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?

Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.

Even if I am not an apostle to others, surely I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?

If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.

Yet when I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am obligated to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.

If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.

If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.

But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—

If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.

If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

…but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.

If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment.

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.

If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

If they were all one part, where would the body be?

If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

Again, if the trumpet sounds a muffled call, who will prepare for battle?

If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.

Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who are uninstructed or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?

But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,

If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.

But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.

And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.

If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.

If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.

But if anyone ignores this, he himself will be ignored.

By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
