to those without law, as without law -- (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ) -- that I might gain those without law;

but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,

No temptation hath taken you -- except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].

[no,] but that the things that the nations sacrifice -- they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.

Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;

and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,

for as the woman [is] of the man, so also the man [is] through the woman, and the all things [are] of God.

In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?

and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.

why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!

wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus [is] anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus [is] Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.

and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.

and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed,

and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour,

And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues;

for he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue -- to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;

I give thanks to my God -- more than you all with tongues speaking --

and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon [his] face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.
