God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.

which no one of the princes of this age knew; for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; in order that we may know the things which have been graciously given unto us from God.

For who knows the mind of the Lord, who shall give him counsel? But we have the mind of Christ.

I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:

But, brethren, I have transferred these things to myself and Apollos on your account: that you may learn among us not to be wise above what is written; in order that you may not be puffed up one in behalf of one against another.

For who judges you? and what have you which you did not receive. But if indeed you received it, why do you boast, as not having received it?

Already are ye filled, already have ye become rich; you did reign without us: and I would indeed that you did reign, in order that we also might reign along with you.

being scandalized, we entreat: we have become as the offscourings of the world, the refuse of all things until now.

For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, but you have not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

But I will come to you quickly, if the Lord may will; and I will know not the word of those who have been puffed up, but the power.

Fornication is truly heard of among you, and such fornication which is not among the heathens, that one should have the wife of his father.

And have you been inflated, and have not rather mourned, that the one having done this work may be taken from your midst?

For indeed I, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus done this, as being present,

I have written unto you in a letter to have no fellowship with fornicators;

For now I have written unto you not to keep company with him, if any one denominated a brother may be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a scold, or drunken, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

Then if indeed you have judgments appertaining to this life, do you sit those down who are little esteemed in the church?

Indeed it is already altogether a small matter to you, that you have law-suits one with another. Why do you not rather stiffer injustice? why are you not rather defrauded?

And such were some of you: but you have washed, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God.

Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? and you are not your own;

for you have been bought with a price: indeed glorify God in your body.

but on account of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

But I proclaim to those who have married, not I, but the Lord, That a wife shall not depart from her husband

Have you been called being a slave? let it not be a care to you: but if indeed you are able to become free, use it in preference.

You have been bought with a price; be not the slaves of men.

But concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give knowledge, as one having obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

Have you been given to a wife? do not seek separation; have you been separated from a wife? do not seek a wife.

But if, indeed you may marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin may marry, she has not sinned; but such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you.

But she is happier if she may so remain, according to my opinion: but I realize that I truly have the Spirit of God.

But concerning things offered to idols: we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but divine love builds up.

Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen the Lord Jesus? are you not my work in the Lord?

Have we not a right to eat and drink?

Have we not a right to lead about a sister as a wife, as the other apostles also, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

Have I and Barnabas alone not the right to forbear working?

If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

If others partake of your bounty, shall not we the more? But we have not used this privilege, but we bear all things, in order that we may not give a hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

But I have used none of these things. But I have not written these things that it may be so in me: for it is good for me rather to die than that any one shall make void my boasting.

For if I do this willingly, I have a reward: but if unwillingly, I have been intrusted with a dispensation.

But these things happened unto them as examples; and were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have descended.

Therefore the woman ought to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.

Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man may indeed have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

If any one seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

For have you not houses in which to eat and to drink? or do you cast contempt on the church of God, and shame those not having? What do I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

For I received this from the Lord, which I have also delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

If I may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not divine love, I have become a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not divine love, I am nothing.

And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I may give my body that I shall be burnt, and have not divine love, I am profited as to nothing.

Then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the more remain unto this day, but some have fallen asleep.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace was not vain toward me; but I have labored more abundantly than they all: and not I, but the grace of God with me.

Then indeed those having fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

For, he has subordinated all things beneath his feet. But when he may say, that all things have been subordinated, it is evident that the One having subordinated all things to him is excepted.

I protest by your rejoicing, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

If after the manner of men I have fought with the wild beasts in Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead rise not, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak to your shame.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we must also bear the image of the heavenly.

But concerning brother Apollos, I entreated him much, that he may come to you with the brethren: but it was not altogether his will that he may come now; but he will come when he may have opportunity.

But I exhort you, brethren; (know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),

But I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: because they have supplied your deficiency:
