(Or if she goes away from him, let her keep unmarried, or be united to her husband again); and that the husband may not go away from his wife.

ἢ ē “or”

But if the one who is not a Christian has a desire to go away, let it be so: the brother or the sister in such a position is not forced to do one thing or the other: but it is God's pleasure that we may be at peace with one another.

ἢ ē “or”

For how may you be certain, O wife, that you will not be the cause of salvation to your husband? or you, O husband, that you may not do the same for your wife?

ἢ ē “Or”

Or I only and Barnabas, have we no right to take a rest from work?

ἢ ē “Or”

Who ever goes to war without looking to someone to be responsible for his payment? who puts in vines and does not take the fruit of them? or who takes care of sheep without drinking of their milk?

ἢ ē “Or”

Am I talking as a man? does not the law say the same?

ἢ ē “Or”

Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.

ἢ ē “Or”

But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

ἢ ē “than”

Do I say, then, that what is offered to images is anything, or that the image is anything?

ἢ ē “or”

Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?

ἢ ē “Or”

Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

ἢ ē “or”

But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

ἢ ē “or”

For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.

ἢ ē “or”

Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

ἢ ē “or”

What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.

ἢ ē “Or”

If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.

ἢ ē “or”

And the eye may not say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

ἢ ē “Or”

If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

ἢ ē “or”

Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the

ἢ ē “than”

Even things without life, having a voice, such as a music-pipe or other instrument, if they do not give out different sounds, who may be certain what is being played?
