If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,

If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.

Take care that no one deceives himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

But if anyone thinks that he is acting dishonorably toward his virgin, if she is past her youth and it ought to be so, let him do what he wishes, he is not sinning; let them marry.

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.

But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and for the sake of conscience;

But if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor have the churches of God.

If anyone is hungry, have him eat at home, so that you do not come together for judgment. As to the remaining matters, I will give instructions when I come.

If anyone speaks in a tongue, it must be by two or at the most three, and each one in turn, and one is to interpret;

If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment.

But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed. Maranatha!

But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not for me, but in some degree—not to say too much—for all of you.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ’s, have him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ’s, so too are we.

For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, if anyone devours you, if anyone takes advantage of you, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone hits you in the face.

As we have said before, even now I say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

For if anyone thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

although I myself could boast as having confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he is confident in the flesh, I have more reason:

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person so as not to associate with him, so that he will be put to shame.

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
