G3767–οὖν–oun

For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.

οὖν oun “therefore”

What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? They are but servants who gave you the good news as God gave it to them.

οὖν oun “then”

So my desire is that you take me as your example.

οὖν oun “therefore”

Take away, then, the old leaven, so that you may be a new mass, even as you are without leaven. For Christ has been put to death as our Passover.

οὖν oun “therefore”

If then there are questions to be judged in connection with the things of this life, why do you put them in the hands of those who have no position in the church?

οὖν oun “so”

More than this, it is not to your credit to have causes at law with one another at all. Why not put up with wrong? why not undergo loss?

οὖν oun “therefore”

Do you not see that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? how then may I take what is a part of the body of Christ and make it a part of the body of a loose woman? such a thing may not be.

οὖν oun “then”

In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.

οὖν oun “therefore”

So, then, as to the question of taking food offered to images, we are certain that an image is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

οὖν oun “therefore”

What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.

οὖν oun “then”

And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

οὖν oun “then”

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

οὖν oun “then”

So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

οὖν oun “therefore”

But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

οὖν oun “therefore”

But if the sense of the voice is not clear to me, I am like a man from a strange country to him who is talking, and he will be the same to me.

οὖν oun “therefore”

What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.

οὖν oun “then”

If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

οὖν oun “therefore”

What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

οὖν oun “then”

If then it is I who am the preacher, or they, this is our word, and to this you have given your faith.

οὖν oun “therefore”

See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.

οὖν oun “therefore”

For they gave comfort to my spirit and to yours: for which cause give respect to such people.

οὖν oun “therefore”

If then I had such a purpose, did I seem to be changing suddenly? or am I guided in my purposes by the flesh, saying, Yes, today, and, No, tomorrow?

οὖν oun “therefore”

Having then such a hope, we keep nothing back,

οὖν oun “therefore”

So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,

οὖν oun “therefore”

Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.

οὖν oun “therefore”
