so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah;

so that no one should say that I had immersed you into my own name.

For Messiah sent me not to immerse, but to preach the Good News -- not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Messiah wouldn't be made void.

For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

So let a man think of us as Messiah's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.

Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.

But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn't sin. Let them marry.

So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn't give her in marriage will do better.

Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.

But I have used none of these things, and I don't write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void.

What then is my reward? That, when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Messiah without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.

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

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Messiah.

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.

So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
