Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

For, unto one, indeed, through the Spirit, is given, a word of wisdom, but, unto another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; -

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.

For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us--whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men--were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit.

For the body is not one member, but many.

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

But if all were one member, where the body?

But now are they many members, yet but one body.

But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

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

That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts.

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

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

And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor , and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

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

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

For now we know but in part, and we prophesy but in part.

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

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.

But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

In the same way, lifeless instruments like the flute or harp produce sounds. But if there's no difference in the notes, how can a person tell what tune is being played?

Even so, likewise, when ye speak with tongues, except ye speak words that have signification, how shall it be understood what is spoken? For ye shall but speak in the air.

But if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will [appear to] be a foreigner to the one who is speaking [since he knows exactly what he is saying], and the one who is speaking will [appear to] be a foreigner to me.

But since there is emulation among you concerning spiritual gifts, seek to abound in the exercise of such gifts as tend most to the edification of the church.

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing also with the understanding.

otherwise if you should give thanks by the spirit in an unknown tongue, the hearer cannot but appear unlearned upon this occasion; how then can he say Amen to thy thanksgiving? since he does not conceive what you say.

For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

but in the assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

In the Law it stands written, "'By men of unknown tongues and by the lips of an unknown nation will I speak to this People, but even then they will not listen to Me', says the Lord."

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

What then is the right course, believers? When you meet together, each one has a psalm, a teaching, a revelation (disclosure of special knowledge), a tongue, or an interpretation. Let everything be constructive and edifying and done for the good of all the church.

and if any man do speak in an unknown tongue, let but two speak, or three at the most, and that by turns: and let there be but one to interpret.

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge.

But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.

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

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in assembly.

What! did God's Message to the world originate with you? or did it find its way to none but you?

But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues.

But let all things be done decently and in order.

But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,

After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

But last of all he was seen by me, as one born out of due time.

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

But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.

Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how is it that some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also is our preaching, and vain also your faith.

But if the dead rise not, neither is Christ risen.

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

Ah, if in this life we have nothing but a mere hope in Christ, we are of all men to be pitied most!

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)

(Not a day but I am at death's door! I swear it by my pride in you, brothers, through Christ Jesus our Lord.)

rouze from your sins, as is but just; for some of you have not the knowledge of God: I speak it to your shame.

But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

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

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

So it is with the resurrection of the dead. The [human] body that is sown is perishable and mortal, it is raised imperishable and immortal.

The body is planted in a state of dishonor but is raised in a state of splendor. It is planted in weakness but is raised in power.

It is planted a physical body but is raised a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.

And so it is written, "The first man Adam was made a living soul." But the last Adam is an enlivening spirit.

Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet (for the trumpet shall sound) and the dead shall rise incorruptible; but as for us, we shall be changed.

But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

But the sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

But concerning the contribution to the saints, as I commanded the churches of Galatia, so you also do.

But when I may be present, whomsoever you may approve by your letters, these will I send to carry away your benefaction to Jerusalem:

But if it be of importance that I should go also, they shall go with me.

But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia;

but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I go.

For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
