I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,

according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,

for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;

Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;

and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;

and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power --

And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly -- as to babes in Christ;

I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on it,

cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed -- Christ,

being circumcised -- was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised;

Each in the calling in which he was called -- in this let him remain;

a servant -- wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free -- use it rather;

each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.

or because of us by all means doth He say it? yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading ought of his hope to partake in hope.

and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;

but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,

for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

For I -- I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;

for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;

and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings,

but that which is spiritual is not first, but that which was natural, afterwards that which is spiritual.

and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, 'The Death was swallowed up -- to victory;

and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all his will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.
