No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation he will also provide a way out so that you may be able to bear it.

No, but I do say that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons!

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.

Give no offense to Jews or Greeks or the church of God,

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

A man should not cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God. So too, woman is the glory of man.

For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God.

I thank God that I speak in other tongues more than all of you;

The secrets of his heart will be revealed, and as a result he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, “God is really among you.”

But if there is no interpreter, that person is to keep silent in the church and speak to himself and God.

since God is not a God of disorder but of peace.

Or did the word of God originate from you, or did it come to you only?
