There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].

But [I say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with demons.

Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Give no offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.

For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For as the woman [is] from the man, even so [is] the man also by the woman; but all things from God.

Judge in yourselves: Is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?

But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of languages.

For he that speaketh in an [unknown] language, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no man understandeth [him]; yet in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

I thank my God, I speak in languages more than ye all:

And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on [his] face, he will worship God, and report that God is in you in truth.

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
