To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God,

What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
