G3767–οὖν–oun

Your fidelity to the truth is everywhere known. I rejoice over you, therefore, but I wish you to be wise as to what is good, and simple-minded as to what is evil.

οὖν oun “therefore”

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are just God's servants, through whose efforts, and as the Lord granted power to each, you accepted the faith.

οὖν oun “then”

I entreat you therefore to become like me.

οὖν oun “therefore”

Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be dough of a new kind; for in fact you *are* free from corruption. For our Passover Lamb has already been offered in sacrifice--even Christ.

οὖν oun “therefore”

If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church--is it *they* whom you make your judges?

οὖν oun “so”

To say no more, then, it is altogether a defect in you that you have law-suits with one another. Why not rather endure injustice? Why not rather submit to being defrauded?

οὖν oun “therefore”

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? No, indeed.

οὖν oun “then”

I think then that, taking into consideration the distress which is now upon us, it is well for a man to remain as he is.

οὖν oun “therefore”

As to eating things which have been sacrificed to idols, we are fully aware that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but One.

οὖν oun “therefore”

What are my wages then? The very fact that the Good News which I preach will cost my hearers nothing, so that I cannot be charged with abuse of my privileges as a Christian preacher.

οὖν oun “then”

But every competitor in an athletic contest practices abstemiousness in all directions. They indeed do this for the sake of securing a perishable wreath, but we for the sake of securing one that will not perish.

οὖν oun “then”

Do I mean that a thing sacrificed to an idol is what it claims to be, or that an idol is a real thing?

οὖν oun “then”

Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.

οὖν oun “therefore”

When, however, you meet in one place, there is no eating the Supper of the Lord;

οὖν oun “therefore”

If, however, I do not know the meaning of the particular language, I shall seem to the speaker of it, and he to me, to be merely talking some foreign tongue.

οὖν oun “therefore”

How then does the matter stand? I will pray in spirit, and I will pray with my understanding also. I will praise God in spirit, and I will praise Him with my understanding also.

οὖν oun “then”

Accordingly if the whole Church has assembled and all are speaking in `tongues,' and there come in ungifted men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are all mad?

οὖν oun “therefore”

What then, brethren? Whenever you assemble, there is not one of you who is not ready either with a song of praise, a sermon, a revelation, a `tongue,' or an interpretation. Let everything be done with a view to the building up of faith and character.

οὖν oun “then”

But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.

οὖν oun “therefore”

Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him and others of the brethren.

οὖν oun “therefore”

They have refreshed my spirit, and yours. Acknowledge such men as these.

οὖν oun “therefore”

Did I display any vacillation or caprice in this? Or the purposes which I form--do I form them on worldly principles, now crying "Yes, yes," and now "No, no"?

οὖν oun “therefore”

Therefore, cherishing a hope like this, we speak without reserve, and we do not imitate Moses,

οὖν oun “therefore”

We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;

οὖν oun “therefore”

Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.

οὖν oun “therefore”
