But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.

For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,

And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

You are conscious that when you were Gentiles, in whatever way you were guided, you went after images without voice or power.

But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary.

When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child.

What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

Then comes the end, when he will give up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have put an end to all rule and to all authority and power.

For, as it says, He has put all things under his feet. But when he says, All things are put under him, it is clear that it is not said about him who put all things under him.

And when all things have been put under him, then will the Son himself be under him who put all things under him, so that God may be all in all.

And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;

It is planted in shame; it comes again in glory: feeble when it is planted, it comes again in power:

But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.

On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.

And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.

But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.

And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

Now when I came to Troas for the good news of Christ, and there was an open door for me in the Lord,

But when it is turned to the Lord, the veil will be taken away.

For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; there were fightings outside and fears inside.

For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;

Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you:

Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.

Let those who say this keep in mind that, what we are in word by letters when we are away, so will we be in act when we are present.

And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.

For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;

And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.

For we are glad when we are feeble and you are strong: and this is our prayer, even that you may be made complete.

For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,

But, quite the opposite, when they saw that I had been made responsible for preaching the good news to those without circumcision, even as Peter had been for those of the circumcision

When they saw the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who had the name of being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands as friends so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I made a protest against him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.

For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?

Brothers, as men would say, even a man's agreement, when it has been made certain, may not be put on one side, or have additions made to it.

So we, when we were young, were kept under the first rules of the world;

But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

But it is good to have an interest in a good cause at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.

The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,

And to you did he give life, when you were dead through your wrongdoing and sins,

Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

But all things, when their true quality is seen, are made clear by the light: because everything which is made clear is light.

So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

Him then I am hoping to send as quickly as possible, when I am able to see how things will go for me:

I have sent him, then, the more gladly, so that when you see him again, you may be happy and I may have the less sorrow.

And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;

For this reason, we, from the day when we had word of it, keep on in prayer for you, that you may be full of the knowledge of his purpose, with all wisdom and experience of the Spirit,

Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things.

Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:

And when this letter has been made public among you, let the same be done in the church of Laodicea; and see that you have the letter from Laodicea.

Or looking for glory from men, from you or from others, when we might have made ourselves a care to you as Apostles of Christ.

And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

And when we were with you, we said to you that trouble was before us; and so it came about, as you see.

For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.

When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.

And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven with the angels of his power in flames of fire,

At his coming, when he will have glory in his saints, and will be a cause of wonder in all those who had faith (because our witness among you had effect) in that day.

Have you no memory of what I said when I was with you, giving you word of these things?

For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.

It was my desire, when I went on into Macedonia, that you might make a stop at Ephesus, to give orders to certain men not to put forward a different teaching,

Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.

But to the younger widows say No: for when their love is turned away from Christ, they have a desire to be married;

For the Writings say, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. And, The worker has a right to his reward.

Say sharp words to sinners when all are present, so that the rest may be in fear.

But when he was in Rome, he went in search of me everywhere, and came to me

A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army.

But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart.

And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus.

For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;

The coat which I did not take from Troas and which is with Carpus, get when you come, and the books, specially the papers.

Erastus was stopping at Corinth; but Trophimus, when I last saw him was at Miletus, ill.

I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;

But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,

When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis: for it is my purpose to be there for the winter.

And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

For having been put to the test himself, he is able to give help to others when they are tested.

Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,

When your fathers put me to the test, and saw my works for forty years.

As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.

Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?

For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

And when he had been made complete, he became the giver of eternal salvation to all those who are under his orders;

For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,

And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.

So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.
