that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge,

But I did baptize the household of Stephanas also; beyond that, I do not know if I baptized anyone else.

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are useless.”

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to form the smallest law courts?

Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,

Do you not know that your bodies are parts of Christ? Shall I then take away the parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute? Far from it!

Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall become one flesh.”

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

Take Care with Your Liberty

Now concerning food sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes one conceited, but love edifies people.

If anyone thinks that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know;

but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.

Therefore, concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

However, not all people have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

For if someone sees you, the one who has knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will his conscience, if he is weak, not be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

For through your knowledge the one who is weak is ruined, the brother or sister for whose sake Christ died.

Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar?
