I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.
Test all things; hold fast what is good.
Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.
Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!
Therefore, 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?
