Answer: a stumblingblock

It says in I Corinthians 8:9, "But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak."

Christians believe this verse says that they have to be careful how they live. One doesn't want a new Christian to sin because one did something that shouldn't be done, causing them to think it's okay to do.

"Corruptible crowns" refers to things we have on earth that we cannot take with us when we die. "Incorruptible crowns" refers to our rewards in Heaven.

Answer: they are able to bear

It says in I Corinthians 10:13, "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

Temptation can sometimes feel like we can't say no to it, but God says in this verse that we can avoid giving in to it.

Answer: It needs an interpreter

It says in I Corinthians 14.5, "I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying."

The gift of tongues is when you can speak in a language that you do not know. However, you won't understand it, and need a person with the gift of interpreting tongues to translate it.

Answer: Least of the apostles

It says in I Corinthians 15:9, "For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God."
