Which we also speak - not in words taught of human wisdom, but in such as are taught of the Spirit, by spiritual words, spiritual things, explaining.

But, a man of the soul, doth not welcome the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, and he cannot get to know them, because, spiritually, are they examined;

With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able; - nay! not yeteven now, are ye able,

For ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking?

For, as soon as one beginneth to say - I, indeed, am of Paul! and another - I, of Apollos! are ye not, men?

Moreover, he that planteth and he that watereth, are one: - howbeit, each one, his own reward, shall receive, - according to his own labour.

For we are, God's, fellow-workmen: ye are, God's, farm, God's building.

Know ye not that ye are a shrine a of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell?

If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy, - and such are ye.

And again - The Lord taketh note of the speculations of the wise, that they are vain.

So then, let, no one, be boasting in men; for, all things, are yours -

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all, are, yours,

And, ye, are Christ's, - and, Christ, is, God's.

But, these things, brethren, have I transferred unto myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that, in us, ye might learn the lesson - Not beyond the things that are written -- ! that ye do not puff yourselves up, individually, for this one against that.

Already, ye have become full, already, ye are become rich, - apart from us, ye are become kings! And I would indeed ye had become kings, that, we also, with you, might have together become kings!

We, are foolish for Christ's sake, but, ye, prudent in Christ; we are weak, but, ye, mighty; ye, all-glorious, but, we, dishonoured.

Until the present hour, we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and are wanderers,

For this cause, sent I unto you, Timothy, - who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put, you, in mind of my ways which are in Christ Jesus, even as, everywhere, in every assembly, I teach.

But, as though I were not coming unto you, some are puffed up!

Howbeit, I will come quickly unto you, - if, the Lord, please, - and will get to know - not the speech of them who are puffed up, but, the power;

Purge ye out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, - even as ye are unleavened; for, our passover, hath even been sacrificed - Christ:

For what have I to do to be judging them who are without? Do, ye, not judge, them who are within,

Whereas, them who are without, God, judgeth? Remove ye the wicked man from among, yourselves.

Or know ye not that, the saints, shall judge the world? And, if, by you, the world, is to be judged, unworthy are ye of the smallest judgment-seats?

If, then, for matters of this, life ye have judgment-seats, them who are of no account in the assembly, these, are ye seating thereupon?

Already, indeed, it is an utter defeat for you, that ye are having, law-suits, one with another. Wherefore are ye not rather taking wrong? Wherefore are ye not rather suffering yourselves to be defrauded?

Nay! but, ye, are doing wrong, and defrauding, - and that your brethren.

All things, unto me, are allowable, but, not all things, are profitable: all things, unto me, are allowable, but, I, will not be brought under authority by any.

Know ye not that, your bodies, are, members of Christ? Shall I, then, take away the members of the Christ and make them members of a harlot? Far be it!

Or know ye not that, your body, is, a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own; -

For the husband that believeth not is hallowed in the wife, and the wife that believeth not is hallowed in the brother: else were, your children, impure, but, now, are they, pure.

But, concerning them who are virgin, injunction of the Lord, have I none; yet, a judgment, do I give, as one who hath obtained mercy from the Lord to be, faithful:

Now, concerning the idol-sacrifices, we are aware - because we, all, have knowledge, - knowledge, puffeth up, but, love, buildeth up;

Concerning, then, the eating of idol-sacrifices, we are aware - that an idol is, nothing, in the world, and that, none, is God save one.

For, if indeed there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, - as indeed there are gods many and lords many,

Yet, to us, there is one God the Father, of whom are all things, and, we, for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and, we, through him.

But, in thus sinning against the brethren am wounding their conscience, seeing it is weak, against Christ, are ye sinning.

Am not free? Am I not an apostle? Jesus our Lord, have I not seen? Are not, ye, my work, in the Lord?

If, unto others, I am not an apostle, certainly at least, unto you, I am; for, the seal of my apostleship, ye, are in the Lord.

My defence, unto them who are examining me, is this:

If, others, of this right, over you, are partaking, should not rather, we? nevertheless, we used not this right; but, all such things, do we conceal, - lest we should cause any hindrance unto the glad message of the Christ.

Trial, hath not taken you, save such as man can bear; faithful, moreover is God, who will not suffer you to be tried above what ye are able, but will make, with the trial, also the way of escape, that ye may be able to hold out.

Because, one loaf, one body, we, the many, are, for we, all, of the one loaf, partake.

Be looking at Israel after the flesh: - are not, they who eat the sacrifices, joint partakers with the altar?

Or are we to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we mightier than he?

All things are allowable - but, not all things, are profitable, - all things are allowable - but, not all things, upbuild.

If one of them who believe not invite you, and ye are disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you, eat, - asking no question, for conscience sake.

For, just as the woman is of the man, so, also the man, is through means of the woman; - but, all things, are of God.

For this cause, many among you are weak and sickly; and, not a few, are falling asleep.

But, being brought under judgment, by the Lord, are we being disciplined, lest, with the world, we should be condemned.

But, distributions of gifts, there are, yet the same Spirit,

And, distributions of ministries, there are, and the same Lord,

And, distributions of energies, there are, and the same God - who energiseth all things in all.

For, just as, the body, is one, and yet hath many members, but, all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so, also, the Christ; -

Now, however there are many members, yet one body;

Nay! much more, the members which seem to be weaker are necessary,

Now, ye, are the body of Christ, and members severally; -

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all mighty works?

For, in part, are we gaining knowledge, and, in part, are we prophesying, -

So, ye, also - since ye are, envious, of spirits, unto the upbuilding of the assembly, seek to be pre-eminent.

So that, the tongues, are for a sign - not unto them that believe, but, unto them that believe not; whereas, prophesying, is not for them that believe not, but, for them that believe.

If, then, the whole assembly come together with one consent, and, all, are speaking with tongues, - and there come in persons unskilled or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are raving?

What, then, is it, brethren? Whensoever ye are coming together, each one, hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath a translation: - let, all things, be done, unto building up.

If, however, they are wishing to learn something, at home, their own husbands, let them question; for it is a shame for a woman to be speaking in assembly.

If anyone thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge the things which I am writing to you, - that they are, a commandment, of the Lord.

Through which also ye are being saved, - if ye hold fast, with what discourse, I announced the joyful message unto you; unless indeed, in vain, ye believed.

And we are found, even false-witnesses of God, because we have witnessed respecting God, that he raised the Christ, - whom he did not raise, if, indeed, after all, the dead are not raised!

For, if the dead are not raised, not even Christ, hath been raised;

And, if Christ hath not been raised, to no purpose, is your faith, yet, are ye in your sins!

Hence also, they who are fallen asleep in Christ, are lost:

If, in this life, in Christ, we have hoped - and that is all, we are, of all men, most to be pitied.

But, each, in his own rank: - A firstfruit, Christ, after that, they who are the Christ's, in his presence,

For - He put, all things, in subjection under his feet. But, whensoever it shall be said - all things are in subjection! - it is evident that it means, - Except him who did put into subjection, unto him, the all things -

Else, what will they do, who are being immersed in behalf of the dead? If, not at all, are the dead to be raised, why are they even being immersed in their behalf?

Why also are, we, running into peril every hour?

If, after the manner of men, I have fought with wild-beasts at Ephesus, what, to me, the profit? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for, tomorrow, we die.

But some one will say - How, are the dead raised? and, with what kind of body, do they come?

And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies, - but, of one kind, indeed, is the glory of the heavenly, and, of another kind, is the glory of the earthly; -

For, a door, unto me, hath opened, great and effectual, and, opposers, are many.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Timothy the brother, - unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, together with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

Who encourageth us in all our tribulation, to the end we may be able to encourage them who are in any tribulation - through means of the encouragement wherewith we, ourselves, are encouraged by God.

But, whether we are in tribulation, it is for your encouragement and salvation; whether we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement, which worketh inwardly by the endurance of the same sufferings which, we also, suffer; -

And so, our hope, is sure in your behalf, - knowing that, - as ye are sharers of the sufferings, so, also of the encouragement.

For, no other things, are we writing unto you, than what ye are either reading or even acknowledging, - I hope, moreover, that, throughout, ye will acknowledge,

According as ye have also acknowledged us, in part, - that, your theme of boasting, we are, even indeed as, ye, also shall be , ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are, helpers, of your joy, for, by your faith, ye stand.

For, to this end, I also wrote, - that I might know the proof of you, whether, in all things, ye are obedient.

Lest we should be overreached by Satan, for, of his thoughts, we are not ignorant.

That, of Christ, a grateful odour, are we, unto God, - in them who are being saved, and in them who are being lost:

For we are not, as the many, driving a petty trade with the word of God; but, as of sincerity, but, as of God, before God, in Christ, we speak.

Are we to begin again, ourselves, to commend? or have we need, like some, of commendatory letters unto you, or from you?

Our letter, ye, are, inscribed in our hearts, noted and read by all men:

Manifesting yourselves that ye are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, - inscribed - not with ink, but with the Spirit of a Living God, not in tablets of stone, but in tablets which are hearts of flesh.

Not that, of our own selves, sufficient, are we, to reckon anything as of ourselves, but, our sufficiency, is of God; -

And are not just like Moses, who kept putting a veil upon his face, so that the sons of Israel should not look steadily unto the end of that which was to be done away.

And, we all, with unveiled face, receiving and reflecting, the glory of the Lord, into the same image, are being transformed, from glory into glory, - even as from a Spirit that is Lord.

And, even if our glad-message is veiled, in them who are perishing, it is veiled,

For, evermore, we, the living, unto death are being delivered, for Jesus' sake, in order that, the life also of Jesus, may be made manifest in our mortal flesh:

For, all things, are for your sakes, in order that, the favour abounding, may, through means of the greater number, cause, the thanksgiving, to superabound unto the glory of God.

So long as we are not looking out for the visible things, but for the invisible; for, the visible things, are temporary, whereas, the invisible, are age-abiding.
