is the temple of the Holy Spirit that is within you, which you
have received from God? You do not belong to yourselves, for you were
bought for a price. Be sure to honor God with your bodies.

No temptation has come to you that is beyond your power to resist. God
is faithful and will not let you be tempted beyond what you can stand;
but when the temptation comes, he will provide the way of escape, so
that you will have strength to endure.

In all things I can do as I like, but they are not all good for me. In
all things I can do as I like, but they do not all make me a better man.
Each of us must seek not only his own good but that of his neighbor.

Do you not know that in a race, though all run, only one wins the prize?
So run that you may win the prize. Every athlete exercises
self-restraint in every way; but while they do this to win a crown that
perishes, we do it to secure one that is eternal. So then I run as one
who is sure of his goal. I do not plant my blows as a boxer who beats
the air; rather I constantly train my body and keep it under control for
fear that I, who told others of the contest, might myself be
disqualified.

Now brothers, I wish you to understand about spiritual gifts. There are
different kinds of gifts, but all are given by the same Spirit. There
are different ways of serving, but all are for the same Master. There
are different ways in which God's power is shown, but the same God is
working in all of you in all these ways. Each is given his own gift of
the Spirit for the common good.

Just as a man's body has many parts, and these parts, although many,
form only one body, so it is with Christ. For we have all been baptized
by the one Spirit so as to form one body. Whether we were Jews or
Greeks, slaves or freemen, we have all been given the same Spirit. For
the body consists not of one part but of many. If the foot were to say,
"Because I am not the hand I do not belong to the body," that would not
make it any less a part of the body. If the ear were to say, "Because I
am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would be, for all that,
a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the
hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of
smell be? But as it is, God gave each part of the body its proper place,
exactly as he wished. If they were all only one part, where would the
body be? As it is, while there are many parts, there is only one body.
