for ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may receive instruction and exhortation.

for God is not the God of confusion, but of peace, in all christian assemblies.

Let your women be silent in your assemblies: for they are not allowed to discourse there; but are to observe orders, as indeed the law implies:

and if they desire to have information about any point, let them consult their husbands at home: for it does not become women to ask questions in the church.

I acquainted you chiefly with what I received myself, that Christ died for our sins, as the scriptures foretold:

for I am the meanest of the apostles, not worthy the name of an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

for if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.

for if the dead are not raised, then was not Christ raised:

for since by man came death, by man the resurrection of the dead will likewise come.

for as by Adam all die, even so by Christ shall all be restored to life.

for as we have born the image of the terrestrial, so we shall bear the image of the celestial.

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet (for the trumpet shall sound) and the dead shall rise incorruptible; but as for us, we shall be changed.

for this corruptible body must be invested with incorruptibility, this mortal be invested with immortality.
