'People' in the Bible
However, when we are among mature people, we do speak a message of wisdom, but not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who are passing off the scene.
We don't speak about these things with words taught us by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual things to spiritual people.
Brothers, I couldn't talk to you as spiritual people but as worldly people, as mere infants in the Messiah.
For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display in last place, like men condemned to death. We have become a spectacle for the world, for angels, and for people to stare at.
But I will come to you soon if it's the Lord's will. Then I'll discover not only what these arrogant people are saying but also what power they have,
I wrote to you in my letter to stop associating with people who are sexually immoral
not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, greedy, robbers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.
So if you have cases dealing with this life, why do you appoint as judges people who have no standing in the church?
You know that wicked people will not inherit the kingdom of God, don't you? Stop deceiving yourselves! Sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,
thieves, greedy people, drunks, slanderers, and robbers will not inherit the kingdom of God.
To married people I give this command (not really I, but the Lord): A wife must not leave her husband.
You were bought for a price. Stop becoming slaves of people.
But if you do get married, you have not sinned. And if a virgin gets married, she has not sinned. However, these people will experience trouble in this life, and I want to spare you from that.
But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idolatry that when they eat food that has been offered to an idol, their conscience becomes contaminated because it is weak.
If I am not an apostle to other people, surely I am one to you, for you are the evidence of my apostolic authority from the Lord.
Although I am free from everyone's expectations, I have made myself a servant to all of them to win more people.
To the weak I became weak in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some of them.
But God wasn't pleased with most of those people, and so they were struck down in the wilderness.
Let's stop being idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to play."
I am talking to sensible people. Apply what I am saying to yourselves.
just as I myself try to please everybody in every way. I don't look out for my own benefit, but rather for the benefit of many people, so that they might be saved.
For the person who speaks in a foreign language is not actually speaking to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands him, because he is talking about secrets by the Spirit.
But the person who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding, encouragement, and comfort.
In the Law it is written, "By means of foreign languages and through the mouths of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me," declares the Lord.
Now if the whole church gathers in the same place and everyone is speaking in foreign languages, when uneducated people or unbelievers come in, they will say that you are out of your mind, won't they?
If we have set our hopes on the Messiah in this life only, we deserve more pity than any other people.
Otherwise, what will those people do who are being baptized because of those who have died? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they being baptized because of them?
because a door has opened wide for me to do effective work, although many people are opposing me.
to submit yourselves to people like these and to anyone else who shares their labor and hard work.
