God

for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, `Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'

and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God,

so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

Already ye are having been filled, already ye were rich, apart from us ye did reign, and I would also ye did reign, that we also with you may reign together,

for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last--as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men;

for not in word is the reign of God, but in power?

and those without God doth judge; and put ye away the evil from among yourselves.

have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.

And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

the meats are for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power.

Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make them members of an harlot? let it be not!

Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own,

for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

for I wish all men to be even as I myself am ; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.

And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself--let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such cases , and in peace hath God called us;

if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each--so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct:

the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing--but a keeping of the commands of God.

for he who is in the Lord--having been called a servant--is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ:

each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.

and she is happier if she may so remain--according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

and if any one doth love God, this one hath been known by Him.

Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one;
