Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

And that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.

For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.

For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved of men.

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for [his] mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it,] they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and [to] Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think [of men] above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you. ]

For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed,

Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

But I speak this by permission, [and] not of commandment.

Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [I say,] that [it is] good for a man so to be.

But this I say, brethren, the time [is] short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

And they that use this world, as not abusing [it:] for the fashion of this world passeth away.

And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,

Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?

If others be partakers of [this] power over you, [are] not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for [it were] better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation [of the gospel] is committed unto me.

And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with [you. ]

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
