yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

Paul’s Rights as an Apostle
Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord?
-
Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
-
Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?
-
In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
-
Idol Feasts and the Lord’s Supper
Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.
-
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.
-
Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
-
for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”
-
Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper
In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.
-
So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat,
-
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
-
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
-
So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.
-
Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.
-
Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
-
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
-
To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
-
In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”
-
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.
-
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.
-
I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
