God

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.

But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?

To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.

Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.

for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”

For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

Now then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.

Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.

But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.

whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
