How then was it credited to him? Was he circumcised at the time, or not? No, he was not circumcised but uncircumcised!

If we live, we live for the Lord; if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.

Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he? ¹  Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul? ² 

When I came ¹  to you, brothers and sisters, ²  I did not come with superior eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed the testimony ³  of God.

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, ¹  but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.

What is Apollos, really? Or what is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, and each of us in the ministry the Lord gave us. ¹ 

So for me, it is a minor matter that I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline ¹  or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

Or do you not know that anyone who is united with ¹  a prostitute is one body with her? ²  For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” ³ 

(but if she does, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband), and a husband should not divorce his wife.

But if the unbeliever wants a divorce, let it take place. In these circumstances the brother or sister is not bound. ¹  God has called you in peace.

For how do you know, wife, whether you will bring your husband to salvation? ¹  Or how do you know, husband, whether you will bring your wife to salvation? ² 

If after all there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),

Am I saying these things only on the basis of common sense, ¹  or does the law not say this as well?

But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is one and the same thing as having a shaved head.

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

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?

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all.

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

If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.
