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.

As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.

For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?
But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof:

Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?
the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.
For the body is not one member, but many.
For the body does not consist of one part, but of many.
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.
Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.
And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
So instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
Such confidence before God is ours through Christ.
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!
