th: but if
her husband die, she is at liberty. Let her marry to whom she will: only
in the Lord.

7:40. But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my
counsel. And I think that I also have the spirit of God.

1 Corinthians Chapter 8

Though an idol be nothing, yet things offered up to idols are not to be
eaten, for fear of scandal.

8:1. Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols: we know
we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up: but charity edifieth.

Knowledge puffeth up, etc... Knowledge, without charity and humility,
serveth only to puff persons up.

8:2. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet
known as he ought to know.

8:3. But if any man love God, the same is known by him.

8:4. But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an
idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one.

8:5. For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on
earth (for there be gods many and lords many):

Gods many, etc... Reputed for such among the heathens.

8:6. Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things,

8:9. But take heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a
stumblingblock to the weak.

8:10. For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol's
temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those
things which are sacrificed to idols?

8:11. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom
Christ hath died?

8:12. Now when you sin thus against the brethren and wound their weak
conscience, you sin against Christ.

8:13. Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh,
lest I should scandalize my brother.

If meat scandalize... That is, if my eating cause my brother to sin.

1 Corinthians Chapter 9

The apostle did not make use of his power of being maintained at the
charges of those to whom he preached, that he might give no hindrance to
the gospel. Of running in the race and striving for the mastery.
