Saint Paul

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea.

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

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 the ways of childhood behind me.

For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.

For now we see only a 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.

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.

For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
