But if the unbelieving separateth himself, let him separate himself; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God hath called you to be in peace.

But let every one continue to walk in the lot which the Lord appointed him, in the condition in which God called him. And this direction I give in all the churches.

Was any one called being circumcised, let him not become as if uncircumcised; hath any one been called in uncircumcision, let him not become circumcised.

But if any one thinketh that he behaveth improperly in respect to his virgin [daughter], if she pass the flower of her age [without being married], and if it must be so, let him do what he will, he committeth no sin; let them marry.

but if any one love God, the same is known by Him.

yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.

For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, at table in an idols temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat the things offered to idols?

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

But if any one say to you, This hath been offered in sacrifice to an idol, do not eat of it, on account of him that showed you this, and from a regard to conscience;

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a shame to him,

But let a man examine himself, and thus let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup;

If any one hunger, let him eat at home; that ye may not come together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

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

If then I know not the meaning of the language, I shall be to him that speaketh a foreigner, and he that speaketh a foreigner to me.

Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue pray that he may interpret.

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

If any one thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know surely that the directions I am writing to you are the Lords;

but if any one be ignorant, let him be ignorant!

for "he put all things under his feet." But when it is said that all things have been put under him, it is manifest that he who put all things under him is excepted.

And when all things have been put under him, then will also the Son himself become subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Every first day of the week let each of you lay by him something in store, according as he hath prospered; that the collections may not have to be made when I come.

let no one therefore despise him. But conduct him on in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.

As regards Apollos, the brother, I urged him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come at this time; but he will come when he hath a convenient opportunity.

If any one loveth not the Lord, let him be accursed! The Lord is at hand.

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

For as to all the promises of God, in him is yea, and in him amen, to the glory of God through us.

But if any one hath caused grief, he hath caused it not to me alone, but in a measure, not to be too severe on him, to all of you.

so that on the contrary ye ought rather to forgive, and console him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love toward him.

But thanks be to God, who always exhibiteth us in triumph in Christ, and manifesteth through us the odor of the knowledge of him in every place.

Wherefore we also strive that, whether at home or absent, we may be approved by him.

and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for their sakes, and rose again.

So that we henceforth know no one according to the flesh; and if we have even known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer know him.

Him, who knew not sin, he made sin for us, that we might become Gods righteousness in him.

As fellowworkers, then, with him, we also exhort you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain;

Although, then, I wrote to you, it was not on account of him that did the wrong, nor of him who suffered wrong; but that your earnestness for us might be made manifest to you in the sight of God.

for if in anything I have boasted to him of you, I am not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting, which we made before Titus, was found to be truth;

and his affection is more abundant toward you, while he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is throughout all the churches;

Each one, as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Ye look at the outward appearance. If any one trusteth to himself that he belongeth to Christ, let him of himself consider this again, that as he belongeth to Christ, so also do we.

But "he that boasteth, let him boast in the Lord."

I urged Titus to go to you, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live together with him by the power of God toward you.

Paul, an apostle, not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,

I marvel that ye are so soon turning from him that called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel;

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel to you contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed!

As we have said before, so I now say again, If any one preach a gospel to you contrary to that which ye received, let him be accursed!

But when it pleased him who set me apart from my very birth, and called me through his grace,

to reveal his Son within me, that I might publish the glad tidings of him among the gentiles, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days;

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face; for he was condemned.

And the other Jews also dissembled with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.

Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness."

But as at that time he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born through the Spirit, so it is now.

This persuasion came not from him that called you.

Let him that is taught in the word share with the teacher in all good things.

according as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him;

in reference to the dispensation of the fullness of the times, to gather for himself into one all things in Christ, the things which are in the heavens, and the things on the earth; even in him,

in whom we also obtained the inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him;

which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead; and seated him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,

and put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

which is his body, the fullness of him who filleth all with all;

and raised us up with him, and caused us to sit with him in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus,

for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

in whom we have our boldness and our access in confidence, through faith in him.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

to him be the glory in the church in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

but cleaving to truth in love, may grow up in all things unto him who is the head, even Christ;

if indeed ye heard him, and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus;

Let him that stealeth steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands at that which is good, that he may have to give to him that is in need.

And, ye masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening; knowing that both they and you have a Master in heaven, and that there is no respect of persons with him.

for to you it was given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but in his behalf to suffer also;

and in what appertained to him appearing as a man, he humbled himself, and was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name;

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son serves a father, he served with me for the gospel.

Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, as soon as I see how it will go with me;

For indeed he was sick near to death; but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

I send him therefore the more speedily, that when ye see him ye may again rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such in honor;

and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God upon faith;

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, while becoming like him in his death,

I can do all things in him who strengtheneth me.

that ye may walk worthily of the Lord so as to please him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

for in him were created all things, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things have been created through him and for him;

and he is before all things, and in him all things subsist.

for God was pleased that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself,

having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him, I say, whether the things on earth, or those in the heavens.

As therefore ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,

rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,

and ye are made full in him, who is the head of all principality and power;

having been buried with him in your baptism; in which also ye were raised to life with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead;

and to you also who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he given life together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;

and having disarmed principalities and powers, he made a public show of them, and led them captive in triumph in him.

when Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then will ye also be manifested with him in glory.

and have put on the new man, who is renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him;

and whatever ye do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, the Father, through him.

Aristarchus, my fellowprisoner, saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom ye received directions (if he come to you, receive him),
