Strong's Number G2228 matches the Greek ἤ (ē),
which occurs 49 times in 40 verses in '1Co'
in the MGNT Greek.
When I came to you, brothers and sisters, announcing the mystery[fn] of God to you, I did not come with brilliance of speech or wisdom.
It is of little importance to me that I should be judged by you or by any human court.[fn] In fact, I don’t even judge myself.
What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy and swindlers or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world.
But actually, I wrote[fn] you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister and is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.
Or don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the trivial cases?
Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, or males who have sex with males,[fn]
Don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute is one body with her? For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh.
Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
But if they do not have self-control, they should marry, since it is better to marry than to burn with desire.
But if she does leave, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband — and a husband is not to divorce his wife.
But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. A brother or a sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you[fn] to live in peace.
Wife, for all you know, you might save your husband. Husband, for all you know, you might save your wife.[fn]
Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who shepherds a flock and does not drink the milk from the flock?
Isn’t he really saying it for our sake? Yes, this is written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes should thresh in hope of sharing the crop.
For my part I have used none of these rights, nor have I written these things that they may be applied in my case. For it would be better for me to die than for anyone to deprive me of my boast!
What am I saying then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
Every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since that is one and the same as having her head shaved.
For if a woman doesn’t cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her head be covered.
Don’t you have homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I do not praise you in this matter!
So, then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sin against the body[fn] and blood of the Lord.
The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you! ” Or again, the head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you! ”
If I speak human or angelic tongues[fn] but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
I wish all of you spoke in tongues,[fn] but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.
So now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you with a revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
Even lifeless instruments that produce sounds — whether flute or harp — if they don’t make a distinction in the notes, how will what is played on the flute or harp be recognized?
yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, in order to teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
If, therefore, the whole church assembles together and all are speaking in tongues and people who are outsiders or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?
But if all are prophesying and some unbeliever or outsider comes in, he is convicted by all and is called to account by all.
If anyone speaks in a tongue, there are to be only two, or at the most three, each in turn, and let someone interpret.
If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, he should recognize that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.
And as for what you sow — you are not sowing the body that will be, but only a seed, perhaps of wheat or another grain.
