For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
-
In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.
-
So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat,
-
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
-
But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.
-
Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions.
-
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
-
but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
-
But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.
-
Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?
-
So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?
-
But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all,

Good Order in Worship
What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.
-
And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop.
-
If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.
-
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
-
But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
-
Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
-
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
-
Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.

The Resurrection Body
But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
-
How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
-
The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
-
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
-
On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.
