I speak as to wise men. Judge for yourselves what I say.
Examine all things. Firmly hold onto what is good.
Now as concerning food offered to idols: We know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge produces arrogance, but love edifies.
Brothers, do not be children in your thinking; rather be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.
Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered?
I speak to your shame. Is it true that there is not even one wise man among you who shall be able to judge between his brothers?
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honorable, but we are despised.
So, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
