But that what the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. Now I would not that ye should be partakers with devils.

All things are lawful for me; but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me; but all things edify not.

But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for his sake that shewed thee, and for conscience sake.

Conscience I say, not thy own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another's conscience?

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many that they may be saved.

Therefore if a woman is not covered, let her also be shaved: but if it be shameful, for a woman to have her hair shaved off, or cut short, let her be covered.

A man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.

Doth not nature itself teach you, that for a man to have long hair, is a disgrace to him?

But in this which I declare, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

Therefore when ye come together into one place, it is not eating the Lord's supper.

What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or do ye despise the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this?

I praise you not. For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus the night in which he was betrayed,

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not distinguishing the Lord's body.

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

And if any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye come not together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot should say,

Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?

And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

For our comely parts have no need; but God hath tempered the body together, giving more abundant honour to that which lacked:

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

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

And though I give all my goods to feed the poor, and deliver up my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

Love suffereth long and is kind; love envieth not; love acteth not rashly, is not puffed up:

Doth not behave indecently, seeketh not her own, is not provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not at iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth:

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God; for no one understandeth him, though by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries:

Yet if I know not the meaning of the language, I shall be a barbarian to him that speaketh, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian to me.

Otherwise if thou givest thanks with the Spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of a private person, say Amen to thy thanksgiving, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

For thou verily givest thanks well; yet the other is not edified.

Brethren, be not children in understanding: in wickedness be ye as infants, but in understanding be ye grown men.

So that tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; whereas prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for believers.

Yet if the whole church be met together, and all speak with unknown tongues, and there come in ignorant persons or unbelievers, will they not say, that ye are mad?

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Let your women be silent in the churches; for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the law also saith.

Therefore, brethren, covet to prophesy; yet forbid not to speak with tongues.

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain, but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

And if Christ be not raised, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified from God, that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise, if the dead rise not.

For if the dead rise not, neither is Christ raised:

And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are still in your sins.

Else what shall they do, who are baptized for the dead? If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for them?

I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die.

Be not deceived. Evil communications corrupt good manners.

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

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die,

And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat, or of any other corn:

All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one kind of flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, another of birds.

Yet the spiritual body was not first, but the animal; afterward the spiritual.

Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

For I will not see you now in my way; but hope to stay some time with you, if the Lord permit.

The Salutation of me Paul with my own hand. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema: Maran-atha.

For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of the trouble which befell us in Asia, that we were exceedingly pressed, above our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

Yea, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raiseth the dead:

For this is our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more especially toward you.

As God is faithful, our word to you hath not been yea and nay.

For Jesus Christ the Son of God, who was preached among you by us, by me, and Silvanus, and Timotheus was not yea and nay; but was yea in him.

But I call God for a record on my soul, that to spare you, I came not as yet to Corinth.

Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy; for by faith ye have stood.

But I determined this with myself not to come to you again in grief.

And I wrote thus to you, that I might not when I come have grief from those for whom I ought to rejoice; being persuaded concerning you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

For from much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that ye might be grieved, but that ye might know the abundant love which I have toward you.

And if any have caused grief, he hath grieved me but in part, that I may not overburden you all.

Lest Satan get an advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; so taking leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.

For we are not as many, who adulterate the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.

Do we again begin to recommend ourselves? Unless we need, as some do, recommendatory letters to you, or recommendatory letters from you?

Manifestly declared to be the letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in tables of stone, but in the fleshly tables of the heart.

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to think any thing as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God:

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.

And if the ministration of death engraven in letters on stones was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly on the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face, which was to be abolished: Shall not rather the ministration of the Spirit be glorious?

And not as Moses, who put a veil upon his face, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly to the end of that which is abolished.

Therefore having this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not: But have renounced the hidden things of shame,

not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully corrupting the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not of us.

We are troubled on every side, yet not crushed;

perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; thrown down, but not destroyed;

Therefore we faint not, but even though the outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

While we aim not at the things that are seen, but the things that are not seen: for the things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are not seen are eternal.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

If being clothed, we shall not be found naked.

For we who are in this tabernacle groan, being burdened; not that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.

(For we walk by faith, not by sight.)

We do not again recommend ourselves to you; but we give you an occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have something to answer them, who glory in appearance, and not in heart.

And that he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and rose again.

that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their traspasses to them, and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation.

We then, as fellow-labourers, do also exhort you, not to receive the grace of God in vain.

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed, But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God,

as dying, yet behold we live; as chastened, yet not killed;

Ye are not straitened in us; but ye are straitened in your own bowels.

Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? or what communion hath light with darkness?

Therefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean person, saith the Lord, and I will receive you,

I speak not, to condemn you; for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts, to live and to die with you.

And not only by his coming, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted over you, when he told us your earnest desire, your grief, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.

For I do not repent that I grieved you by the letter, though I did repent: (for I see that letter grieved you, though but for a season.)
