Not

The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.

The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.

Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.

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.

Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to let his eating be a stumbling block.

It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.

Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

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.

We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”

I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.

Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

…who have risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

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

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.

He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

…so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

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

We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.

Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.

I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,

…for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?

For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?

Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

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

My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.

Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.

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?

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?

I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

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.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.

I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

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?

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?

Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts,

“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

“Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will destroy them both. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.

I say this as a concession, not as a command.

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.

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.

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.

Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man still uncircumcised when called? He should not be circumcised.
