5 ^aI say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, 6 but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? 7 To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. ^bWhy not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?

1 Corinthians 6:15-18

15 Do you not know that ^cyour bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined ^{▼▼Or who holds fast (compare Genesis 2:24 and Deuteronomy 10:20); also verse 17} to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, ^e“The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord ^fbecomes one spirit with him. 18 ^gFlee from sexual immorality. Every other sin ^{▼▼Or Every sin} a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person ⁱsins against his own body.

1 Corinthians 11:22

22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise ^jthe church of God and ^khumiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

1 Corinthians 15:12-34

The Resurrection of the Dead

12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, ^lhow can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, ^mthen not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that ⁿhe raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and ^oyou are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who ^phave fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope ^{▼▼Or we have hoped} in this life only, ^rwe are of all people most to be pitied.

20 But in fact ^sChrist has been raised from the dead, ^tthe firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as ^uby a man came death, ^vby a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For ^was in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then ^xat his coming ^ythose who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers ^zthe kingdom to God the Father after destroying ^aaevery rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign ^abuntil he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be ^acdestroyed is death. 27 For ^ad“God ^{▼▼Greek he} has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When ^afall things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that ^agGod may be all in all.

29 Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf? 30 Why are we ^ahin danger every hour? 31 I protest, brothers, by ^aimy pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, ^ajI die every day! 32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, ^akI fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, ^al“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” 33 ^amDo not be deceived: ^an“Bad company ruins good morals.” ^{▼▼Probably from Menander’s comedy Thais} 34 ^apWake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For ^aqsome have no knowledge of God. ^arI say this to your shame.

1 Corinthians 15:36

36 You foolish person! ^asWhat you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

Galatians 1:7-10

7 ^atnot that there is another one, but ^authere are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or ^avan angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, ^awlet him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, ^axlet him be accursed.

10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying ^ayto please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a ^azservant ^{▼▼Or slave; Greek bondservant} of Christ.

Galatians 2:4-6

4 ^bbYet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who ^bcslipped in to spy out ^bdour freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, ^beso that they might bring us into slavery— 5 to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that ^bfthe truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. 6 And from those ^bgwho seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; ^bhGod shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential ^biadded nothing to me.

Galatians 2:14

14 But when I saw that their ^bjconduct was not in step with ^bkthe truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas ^blbefore them all, “If you, though a Jew, ^bmlive like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

Galatians 3:1-3

By Faith, or by Works of the Law?

1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? ^bnIt was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly ^boportrayed as crucified. 2 Let me ask you only this: ^bpDid you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by ^bqhearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? ^brHaving begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by ^{▼▼Or now ending with} the flesh?
