Acts 18

1

After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

2

There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them,

3

and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.

24

Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures.

25

He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor^[1] and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.

26

He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.

1 Corinthians 7

1

Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.^[1]

2

But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

3

The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.

4

The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.

5

Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

10

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.

11

But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

1 Corinthians 13

1

If I speak in the tongues^[1] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

2

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,^[2] but have not love, I gain nothing.

4

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

9

For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10

but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

11

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

12

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

2 Corinthians 5

14

For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

15

And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

16

So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
