Did not God speak about this because of us. For sure, this was written for us. The man who gets the fields ready and the man who gathers in the grain should expect some of the grain.

You must know that those who work in the house of God get their food there. Those who work at the altar in the house of God get a part of the food that is given there.

Even then most of them did not please God. He destroyed them in the desert.

We must not complain against God as some of them did. That is why they were destroyed.

You have never been tempted to sin in any different way than other people. God is faithful. He will not allow you to be tempted more than you can take. But when you are tempted, He will make a way for you to keep from falling into sin.

Look at the Jews. They ate the animals that were brought to God as gifts in worship and put on the altar. Did this not show they were sharing with God?

What do I mean? Am I saying that a false god or the food brought to it in worship is worth anything?

No, not at all! I am saying that the people who do not know God bring gifts of animals in worship. But they have given them to demons, not to God. You do not want to have any share with demons.

If I can give thanks to God for my food, why should anyone say that I am wrong about eating food I can give thanks for?

So if you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything to honor God.

Do nothing that would make trouble for a Greek or for a Jew or for the church of God.

I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man. The husband is the head of his wife. God is the head of Christ.

Man is made like God and His shining-greatness. For this reason a man should not have his head covered when he prays or preaches, but the woman respects the man.

Woman was made from man, but man is born of woman. God made all things.

You have your own homes to eat and drink in. Or do you hate the church of God and shame those who are poor? What am I to say to you? Am I to say you are right? No! I cannot say you are right in this.

In the same way after supper, He took the cup. He said, "This cup is the New Way of Worship made between God and you by My blood. Whenever you drink it, do it to remember Me."

But if we would look into our own lives and see if we are guilty, then God would not have to say we are guilty.

There are different ways of doing His work. But it is the same God who uses all these ways in all people.

But it is the same Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, Who does all these things. He gives to each person as He wants to give.

But God has put all the parts into the body just as He wants to have them.
