so that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

For who among men knows the depths of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the depths of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the depths graciously given to us by God,

So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.

If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you,

Now these things, brothers, I have applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to go beyond what is written, so that no one of you will become puffed up on behalf of one against the other.

You are already filled, you have already become rich, you have ruled without us—and how I wish that you had ruled indeed so that we also might rule with you.

And you have become puffed up and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.

But now I am writing to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is a sexually immoral person, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint those who are of no account in the church as judges?

Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches.

But this I say, brothers, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none;

But if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let her marry.
