I write not these things to confound you: but I admonish you as my dearest children.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will: and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power.

For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.

I indeed, absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged, as though I were present, him that hath so done,

Therefore, let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

But now I have written to you, not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator or covetous or a server of idols or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner: with such a one, not so much as to eat.

But brother goeth to law with brother: and that before unbelievers.

But you do wrong and defraud: and that to your brethren.

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

Meat for the belly and the belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord: and the Lord for the body.

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife: and let every woman have her own husband.

The wife hath not power of her own body: but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body: but the wife.

But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.

For I would that all men were even as myself. But every one hath his proper gift from God: one after this manner, and another after that.

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.

But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.

But to them that are married, not I, but the Lord, commandeth that the wife depart not from her husband.
