But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,
There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.

But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry of righteousness!
For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
