Do you not know that the runners in a race, all run, but only one is victorious? So you must run, that you may obtain victory.

I therefore so run, not for something that is uncertain; and I so fight, not as one who beats the air:

But I conquer and subdue my body so that, by no chance, when I have preached to others, will I despise myself.

But they became an example to us, so that we should not covet evil things as they did covet.

Therefore, let him who thinks he can stand, take heed so that he may not fall.

No other temptation has overtaken you but that which is common to man: but God is faithful; he will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that you are able; but will make your temptation to have a way of escape, so that you may be able to bear it.

For just as the loaf of bread is one, so we are all one body; for we are all partakers of that one bread.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

But some men eat their supper before others: and so it happens that one is hungry and another is drunken.

For this reason, let a man examine himself, and so eat of this bread, and drink of this cup.

But when we are judged by our LORD, we are simply chastened, so that we may not be condemned with the world.

And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; so that you may not come together unto condemnation. As to the rest of the things I will instruct you when I come.

For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, even though many, are one body, so also is Christ.

For our comely parts have no need for attention: But God has so tempered the body together, and has given greater honor to the member which is inferior:

So when one member is in pain, all the members suffer with it; and if one member is honored, all the members will glory with it.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love in my heart, I am nothing.

Even so you, except you utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what you say? you shall speak as into the air.

So if I do not understand the utterance, I shall be as a barbarian to the speaker, and the speaker shall be as a barbarian to me.

But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, so that I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

For you may all prophesy one by one, so that every one may learn, and every one be comforted.
