You know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize. So run to win!

All those who compete in the games use self-control so they can win a crown. That crown is an earthly thing that lasts only a short time, but our crown will never be destroyed.

But God was not pleased with most of them, so they died in the desert.

The only temptation that has come to you is that which everyone has. But you can trust God, who will not permit you to be tempted more than you can stand. But when you are tempted, he will also give you a way to escape so that you will be able to stand it.

But I say that what is sacrificed to idols is offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to share anything with demons.

"We are allowed to do all things," but not all things are good for us to do. "We are allowed to do all things," but not all things help others grow stronger.

But if anyone says to you, "That food was offered to idols," do not eat it. Do not eat it because of that person who told you and because eating it might be thought to be wrong.

I don't mean you think it is wrong, but the other person might. But why, you ask, should my freedom be judged by someone else's conscience?

just as I, also, try to please everybody in every way. I am not trying to do what is good for me but what is good for most people so they can be saved.

But I want you to understand this: The head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered brings shame to her head. She is the same as a woman who has her head shaved.

If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. But since it is shameful for a woman to cut off her hair or to shave her head, she should cover her head.

But a man should not cover his head, because he is the likeness and glory of God. But woman is man's glory.

Man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.

And man was not made for woman, but woman was made for man.

But in the Lord women are not independent of men, and men are not independent of women.

This is true because woman came from man, but also man is born from woman. But everything comes from God.

But long hair is a woman's glory. Long hair is given to her as a covering.

Some people may still want to argue about this, but I would add that neither we nor the churches of God have any other practice.

But if we judged ourselves in the right way, God would not judge us.
