What letter is this paraphrase from...
avoid sexual immorality, control own body in way holy and honorable, not in lust like a heathen. Do not wrong your brother or take advantage of him. God did not call us to be impure, but live a holy life. He who reject these instructions does not reject man but God. About brotherly love we do not need to write, you love all the brothers throughout macedonia, we urge you to do so more and more. Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, mind our business, work with your hands, so not dependent on anybody. |

And we also thank God continually because when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe. For you brothers became imitators of God's churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own countrymen the same things those churches suffered from the Jews, who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to all men, in their effort to keep us from speaking to the gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they heap up their sins to the limit.

You know quite well we were destined for them. In fact when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted.

Brothers we do not want to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope.

According to the Lord's own word,we tell you that we who are still alive , who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

For the kingdom of God is not a mater of talk but of power. What do you prefer? Shall I come to with a whip, or in love with a gentle spirit? |

| It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his fathers wife. And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship that man who did this? Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgement on the one who did this, just as if I were present. When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, the power of our Lord Jesus is present, hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord. |

Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast, that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are. For Christ our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth. |

I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people--not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolators. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolator, or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. |

| If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly of judgment instead of before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? Ans if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life? Therefore if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as judges even men of little account in the church. I say this to shame you. Is it possible there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? But instead one brother goes to law against another-and this in front of unbelievers. |

Everything is permissible for me-but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible for me-but I will not be mastered by anything. Food for the stomach and the stomach for food-but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By his power of God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and untie them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said "the two will become one flesh". But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. |

now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry. But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The husband should fulfill the marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way the husbands body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourself to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self control. I say this as a concession, not as a command. I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. |

Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping Gods commands is what counts. Each one should remain in the situation which he was in when God called him. Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you-although if you can gain your freedom do so. For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord's freedman, similarly he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave. You were bought at a price, do not become slaves of men. Brothers each man as responsible to God should remain in the situation God called him to. |

If anyone thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if she is getting along in years and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married. But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion, but has control over his own will and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin-this man also does the right thing. So then he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does even better. |

Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak. For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating in an idols temple, won't he be emboldened to eat what has been sacrificed to idols? So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall. |

Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk? Do I say this merely from a human point of view? Doesn't the Law say the same thing? For it is written in the Law of Moses: "Do not muzzle an Ox while he is treading out the grain". Is it about oxen that God is concerned? Surely he says this of us, doesn't he? Yes this was written for us because when the plowman plow and the thresher threshes, they ought to do so int he hope of sharing in the harvest. If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? If others have this right of support from you, shouldn't we have it all the more?
But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ. Don't you know that those who work in the temple get their food from the temple, and those that serve at the alter share in what is offered on the alter. In the same way the Lord has commanded that those that preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel. |

But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me. I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of this boast. Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel. If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward, if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. What then is my reward? Just this, that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make use of rights in preaching it. |
