In God’s wisdom, he determined that the world wouldn’t come to know him through its wisdom. Instead, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of preaching.

After all, what is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants who helped you to believe. Each one had a role given to them by the Lord:

I’m saying this because you should be ashamed of yourselves! Isn’t there one person among you who is wise enough to pass judgment between believers?

I’m telling everyone else (the Lord didn’t say this specifically): If a believer has a wife who doesn’t believe, and she agrees to live with him, then he shouldn’t divorce her.

If a woman has a husband who doesn’t believe and he agrees to live with her, then she shouldn’t divorce him.

The husband who doesn’t believe belongs to God because of his wife, and the wife who doesn’t believe belongs to God because of her husband. Otherwise, your children would be contaminated by the world, but now they are spiritually set apart.

But if a spouse who doesn’t believe chooses to leave, then let them leave. The brother or sister isn’t tied down in these circumstances. God has called you to peace.

A woman is obligated to stay in her marriage as long as her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry whomever she wants, only it should be a believer in the Lord.

However, for us believers, There is one God the Father. All things come from him, and we belong to him. And there is one Lord Jesus Christ. All things exist through him, and we live through him.

Don’t we have the right to travel with a wife who believes like the rest of the apostles, the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas?

First of all, when you meet together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.

So then, tongues are a sign for those who don’t believe, not for those who believe. But prophecy is a sign for believers, not for those who don’t believe.

You are being saved through it if you hold on to the message I preached to you, unless somehow you believed it for nothing.

So then, whether you heard the message from me or them, this is what we preach and this is what you have believed.
