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.

What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.

Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.

Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”

So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.

Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.

…for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”

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

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

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.

A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

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.

…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 then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.

…and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

…and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

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.

Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,

The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

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

Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.

So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.

Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.

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.

It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.

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?

You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.

It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”

Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.

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

…and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”

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

Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

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

For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.

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.

Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

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?

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.

And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.

And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.

The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else.

Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.

There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.

There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.

It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
