But some have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.

But I am coming to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will know not the talk of the ones who have become arrogant, but the power.

For the kingdom of God is not with talk, but with power.

For although I am absent in body but present in spirit, I have already passed judgment on the one who has done this in this way, as if I were present.

So then, let us celebrate the feast, not with the old leaven or with the leaven of wickedness and sinfulness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

But now I have written to you not to associate with any so-called brother, if he is a sexually immoral person or a greedy person or an idolater or an abusive person or a drunkard or a swindler—with such a person not even to eat.

But those outside God will judge. Remove the evil person from among yourselves.

But brother goes to court with brother, and this before unbelievers!

But you wrong and defraud, and do this to brothers!

All things are permitted for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are permitted for me, but I will not be controlled by anything.

Food is for the stomach, and the stomach for food, but God will abolish both of them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with him.

Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a person commits is outside his body, but the one who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

But because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but her husband does. And likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife does.

But I say this as a concession, not as a command.

I wish all people could be like myself, but each one has his own gift from God, one in this way and another in that way.

But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.

To the married I command—not I, but the Lord—a wife must not separate from her husband.
