God Himself made the way so you can have new life through Christ Jesus. God gave us Christ to be our wisdom. Christ made us right with God and set us apart for God and made us holy. Christ bought us with His blood and made us free from our sins.

I made up my mind that while I was with you I would speak of nothing except Jesus Christ and of His death on the cross.

God has shown these things to us through His Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit Who looks into all things, even the secrets of God, and shows them to us.

We have not received the spirit of the world. God has given us His Holy Spirit that we may know about the things given to us by Him.

Who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only servants owned by God. He gave us gifts to preach His Word. And because of that, you put your trust in Christ.

The one who plants and the one who waters are alike. Each one will receive his own reward.

If a man builds on work that lasts, he will receive his reward.

If his work is burned up, he will lose it. Yet he himself will be saved as if he were going through a fire.

They also say, "The Lord knows how the wise man thinks. His thinking is worth nothing."

A servant must be faithful to his owner. This is expected of him.

Someone has told me about a sex sin among you. It is so bad that even the people who do not know God would not do it. I have been told that one of the men is living with his father's wife as if she were his wife.

Call a meeting of the church. I will be with you in spirit. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by His power,

hand this person over to the devil. His body is to be destroyed so his spirit may be saved on the day the Lord comes again.

Some of you were like that. But now your sins are washed away. You were set apart for God-like living to do His work. You were made right with God through our Lord Jesus Christ by the Spirit of our God.

God raised the Lord from death. He will raise us from death by His power also.

Have nothing to do with sex sins! Any other sin that a man does, does not hurt his own body. But the man who does a sex sin sins against his own body.

Do you not know that your body is a house of God where the Holy Spirit lives? God gave you His Holy Spirit. Now you belong to God. You do not belong to yourselves.

But because of being tempted to sex sins, each man should get married and have his own wife. Each woman should get married and have her own husband.

The husband should please his wife as a husband. The wife should please her husband as a wife.

The wife is not the boss of her own body. It belongs to the husband. And in the same way, the husband is not the boss of his own body. It belongs to the wife.
