Or know ye not that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not led astray. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate men, nor homosexuals,

For I delivered to you at first what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,

Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, and is not puffed up.

Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own,

No temptation has taken you except is common to man. But God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted above what ye are able, but with the temptation will also make the way to escape, to enable you to endure.

And, brothers, I make known to you the good-news that I preached to you, which also ye received, and in which ye stand,

If I speak with the tongues of men and of heavenly agents, but have not love, I have become sounding brass, or a clashing cymbal.

For the message of the cross is of course, foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is a power of God.

For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.

Now this I affirm, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit imperishability.

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread,

Therefore whether ye eat, or drink, or anything ye do, do all to the glory of God.

For while one may say, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

Know ye not that ye are a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

For also by one Spirit we are all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or freemen, and we were all made to drink into one Spirit.

But as it is written, What an eye has not seen, and an ear has not heard, and have not arisen in a heart of a man, are things that God prepared for those who love him.

Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will actually not all sleep, but we will all be transformed,

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I.

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

Now the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is unable to understand because they are evaluated spiritually.

Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you, but ye may be thoroughly prepared in the same mind and in the same understanding.

or does he speak altogether for our sake? For our sake, for it was written, He who plows ought to plow with hope, and he who threshes with his hope, with hope to share.

For just as the woman is from the man, so also the man is through the woman. But all things are from God.

Know ye not that those who run in an arena, indeed all run, but one receives the prize? So run that ye may seize it.

Now concerning the spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

But ye are his, in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

But take heed lest somehow this privilege of yours becomes a stumbling-block to those who are weak.

For the body also is not one part, but many.

to the congregation of God that is at Corinth, to called men, to holy men who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus with all in every place who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ--both ours and theirs.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.

Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me. It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, become ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not empty in Lord.

But I want you not to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

And now remain faith, hope, love, these three, but the greater of these is love.

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

But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

Therefore we should feast, not by old leaven, nor by leaven of evil and wickedness, but by non-leaven of sincerity and truth.

Now therefore it is indeed altogether a defeat for you because ye have legal disputes against yourselves. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

For now we see by polished metal, in dimness, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know just as also I was known.

As in all the churches of the sanctified, let the women keep silent in the churches. For it is not permitted for them to speak, but to be subordinate, as the law also says.

Become ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

For no man can lay another foundation besides that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

But God disclosed it to us through his Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each man toward that which is beneficial.

Flee fornication. Every sin, whatever a man may do, is outside the body, but he who fornicates sins against his own body.

Love never fails. But whether prophecies, they will be abolished, whether tongues, they will cease, whether knowledge, it will be abolished.

For although being free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that I might gain the more.

Purge out the old leaven, so that ye may be a new lump, since ye are unleavened. For also Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us.

The cup of the blessing that we bless, is it not a participation of the blood of the Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation of the body of the Christ?

And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, as to the childlike in Christ.

If we sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we will reap your carnal things?

But if they have no self-control they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn.

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under control by anything.

For if some man sees thee, who have knowledge, dining in an idol-temple, will not his conscience, being weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge.

For as by Adam all die, so also by Christ all will be made alive.

Fornication is actually heard among you, and such fornication that is not even named among the Gentiles, for some man to have his father's wife.

Thus let a man regard us as of helpers of Christ, and managers of mysteries of God.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and body-parts individually.

But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the spirit from God, so that we might know the things graciously given to us by God.

for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.

Now concerning the collection for the sanctified, as I arranged for the congregations of Galatia, so also do ye.

And so it is written, The first man Adam developed into a living soul. The last Adam a life giving spirit.

Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.

Pursue love, and be zealous for the spiritual things, but more that ye may prophesy.

And in the church God has placed men who are first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.

Afterwards the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when he will abolishes all rule, and all authority and power.

Now if Christ is proclaimed that he has risen from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

And some of you were these things, but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were made righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

Now I praise you, brothers, that ye remember me in all things and keep the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

And I, brothers, when I came to you, came not in eminence of speech or of wisdom proclaiming the testimony of God to you.

Now about the things sacrificed to idols. We know that all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

Just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

Upon the first day of the week let each of you set something aside near himself, storing up whatever he may prosper, so that when I come no collections may be made then.

But God chose the foolish things of the world, so that he might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world, so that he might humiliate the powerful.

who will also confirm you until the end, irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For since in the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its wisdom, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

For notice your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many eminent.

Be not led astray. Evil associations corrupt good habits.

Judge ye among yourselves, is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

Watch ye, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

What is it therefore, brothers? When ye come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

For it was declared to me about you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Therefore let him who seems to stand take heed lest he fall.

Therefore I make known to you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus is accursed, and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, except by Holy Spirit.

Now in this that is commanded, I do not praise you, because ye do not assemble for the better but for the worse.

Dare any of you, having a matter against the other, go to law before the unrighteous and not before the sanctified?

But we speak wisdom among the fully developed, but not a wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age who come to nothing.

and not at all with the fornicators of this world, or with greedy men, or with predators, or with idolaters, since then ye would need to go out of the world.

Now all these things happened to those men for examples, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the ends of the ages came.

Therefore do not judge anything before time, until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make public the deliberations of the hearts. And then praise will come to each man from God.

For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

for ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit, which is of God.

According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master builder, I laid a foundation and another man is building on it. But let each man take heed how he is building on it.

For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the good-news, not in wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ would be emptied.

I wrote to you in the letter not to associate with fornicators,

Therefore whoever may eat this bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily of the Lord, will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, even this crucified man.

Which things also we speak, not in things learned from mankind, in words of wisdom, but in things learned from Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these men filled your lack.

But if a woman wears long hair, it is a glory to her, because her hair has been given for a cloak.

Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were ye immersed in the name of Paul?

and having expressed thanks, he broke in pieces, and said, Take ye, eat, this is my body broken for you. This do ye for my memorial.

And to those who are married, I do not command but the Lord. The wife is not to separate from her husband.

Instead ye do wrong, and defraud, and these things to brothers.

Now I say this. That each of you actually say, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

But if any man appears to be a lover of strife, we have no such custom, nor the congregations of God.

But even if she separates, she shall remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to leave his wife.

If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?

Look at Israel according to flesh. Those who eat the sacrifices, are they not partakers of the altar?

Because we, the many, are one bread, one body, for we are all partakers of the one bread.

And by thy knowledge the brother, being weak, will be ruined, for whom Christ died.

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the husband, then otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

If others are partakers of the right from you, are not we more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we cover all things, so that we may not give any hindrance to the good-news of the Christ.

I thank God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

If the foot should say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body.

Otherwise if thou would bless with the spirit, how will the man who fills the place of the unlearned, say the Truly at thy thanksgiving, since he knows not what thou say?

And I also immersed the household of Stephanas. Besides, I know not whether I immersed any other.

Know ye not that those being employed at the sacred things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar are partakers at the altar?

And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body.

I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say.

And whichever woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, she should not leave him.

And sinning this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

lest some man should say that I immersed in my name.

And if they were all one part, where would be the body?

Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each man will receive his own payment according to his own labor.

And because Jews demand a sign and Greeks search for wisdom

For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge ye such men.

But now God has placed the parts, each one of them, in the body just as he intended.

Already ye are filled. Already ye have become rich. Ye reigned without us, and O that ye did indeed reign, so that we also might reign with you.

So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who causes growth.

Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will no, not eat meat into the age, so that I may not cause my brother to stumble.

But now of course there are many body-parts, but one body.

And so the Lord commanded those who proclaim the good-news to live from the good-news.

But God judges those outside. And ye yourselves shall drive out the evil man from you.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will frustrate the understanding of those of understanding.

so that your faith would not be in wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

being slandered, we entreat. We became as trash of the world, an offscouring of all things, until now.

For I think God has exhibited us the apostles least, as men sentenced to die, because we became a spectacle to the world, both to heavenly agents and to men.

Was any man called circumcised? He should not become uncircumcised. Was any man called in uncircumcision? He should not be circumcised.

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

For how do thou know, O wife, whether thou will save thy husband? Or how will thou know, O husband, whether thou will save thy wife?

But I have used none of these things, and I did not write these things so that it should be done to me this way. For it is good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my boasting empty.

But this I say, brothers, the time is shortened. It is the remaining, so that also those who have wives may be as not having,

For what is in me to also judge those outside? Do ye not judge those inside?

Were thou called being a bondman? It should not concern thee. However if also thou are able to become free, take advantage of it instead.

Instead, much more the parts of the body that seem to be more feeble are necessary.

What therefore do I say, that an idol is anything, or that a sacrifice to an idol is anything?

Ye were bought with a price, become not bondmen of men.

and those who weep, as not weeping, and those who rejoice, as not rejoicing, and those who buy, as not possessing,

Brothers, each man, in what he was called, should remain in this before God.

I thank my God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

We are foolish for the sake of Christ, but ye are wise in Christ. We are weak, but ye are strong. Ye are esteemed, but we are disreputable.

For there must also be factions among you, so that the genuine may become apparent among you.

whereas our presentable parts have no need. Instead, God united the body together, having given more abundant worth to the part that lacks,

so that there would be no schisms in the body, but that the parts would have the same care for each other.

For thou indeed express thanks well, but the other man is not edified.

nor greedy men, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the slanderous, nor the predatory will inherit the kingdom of God.

For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission.

Then also those who slept in Christ have perished.

For he who was called in Lord a bondman is a freedman of Lord. Likewise also he who was called a free man is a bondman of Christ.

For indeed first, when ye come together in a congregation, I hear divisions are present among you, and I partly believe it.

Ye cannot drink the cup of Lord, and the cup of demons. Ye cannot be partakers of a table of Lord, and of a table of demons.

and those who use this world, as not making full use, for the form of this world passes away.

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews, to those under law, as under law, so that I might gain those under law,

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, instead, the keeping of God's commandments.

Each man, in the situation in which he was called, in this he should remain.

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

For each man proceeds to eat his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunken.

I suppose therefore this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be this way:

Are thou bound to a wife? Do not seek separation. Are thou free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

When therefore ye come together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper.

And if any man builds upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

so that, just as it is written, He who boasts, let him boast in Lord.

to those without law, as without law (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ), so that I might gain men without law.

Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

And God chose the common things of the world, and the disdained things, and the things that are not, so that he might make useless the things that are,

But also if thou did marry thou have not sinned, and if the virgin married she has not sinned. Yet such kind will have stress in the flesh, but I spare you.

For I wish all men to be even as myself. However each man has his own gift from God, one in this way, and another after that.

The salutation of Paul by my hand.

The wife has not the right of her private body, but the husband, and likewise also the husband has not the right of his private body, but the wife.

For have ye no houses to eat and to drink in? Or do ye disparage the church of God, and humiliate those not having? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

As far as the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are ill clothed, and are treated roughly, and are homeless.

And I say conscience, not the one of himself, but the one of the other man. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

In the law it is written, In other tongues and in other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear me, says Lord.

The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in Lord, with the congregation associated with their house.

What then is my reward? That, while preaching the good-news, I may make the good-news of the Christ without charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the good-news.

And ye should not grumble as some of them grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it.

each man's work will become manifest. For the day will make it known, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire will test each man's work of what kind it is.

Eat everything being sold in a meat market, inquiring of nothing because of the conscience,

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I maligned about which I express thanks?

I beseech you therefore, become followers of me.

But I say this from concession not from commandment.

And those things of the body presumed to be without esteem, we place around these more abundant worth. And our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety,

If any man's work that he built on will remain, he will receive benefit.

Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving. But prophesying is not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

And ye are puffed up and did not rather mourn, so that he who committed this deed might be taken away from the midst of you.

so that no flesh may boast before God.

and all in Moses were immersed in the cloud and in the sea.

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

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Ye know that, while Gentiles, ye were being carried away to the voiceless idols, as ye were led.

If any of those unbelievers invites you, and ye want to go, eat everything being set before you, inquiring of nothing because of the conscience.

If therefore the whole congregation comes together in the same place, and all speak in tongues, and unlearned or unbelieving men come in, will they not say that ye are mad?

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do miracles?

But if any man say to you, This is a sacrifice to an idol, do not eat for the sake of that man who informed, and the conscience, for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it.

But these things became our examples, for us not to be men who lust for evil things as those also lusted.

For I truly, as being absent in the body but present in the spirit, I have already, as though present, judged the man who committed this thing this way.

And we toil, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

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

And let two or three prophets speak, and let the other men pass judgment.

If any man presumes to know anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

And God both raised up the Lord and will raise us up through his power.

Brothers, become not children in your thoughts. Instead be childlike in wickedness, but in your thoughts become mature.

For it is written in the law of Moses thou shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain. Is God concerned about oxen,

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with you.

If any man's work will be burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.

And there are varieties of services, and the same Lord.

Nor should we fornicate as some of them fornicated, and three thousand fell in one day.

For also since there are things called gods, whether in heaven or on the earth, as there are many gods and many lords,

But as of me not coming to you, some men are puffed up.

to a different man, faith by the same Spirit, and to another, gifts of healings by the same Spirit,

Nor should we challenge the Christ as some of them also challenged, and were destroyed by the serpents.

But if it should be revealed to another man who is seated, let the first be silent.

And there are varieties of functions, but it is the same God who works all in all.

And they all ate the same spiritual food,

However with most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness.

I do not write these things shaming you, but I warn you as my beloved children.

Or have only I and Barnabas no right not to be occupied earning a living?

But if all prophesy, and some unbelieving or unlearned man comes in, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all.

Who ever enlists in an army at his own wage? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat from the milk of the flock?

I therefore run this way, not as aimlessly. I fight this way, not as flaying air.

My love is with you all in Christ Jesus. Truly.

And I do this for sake of the good-news, so that I might become a fellow participant of it.

If any man speaks in a tongue, be according to two, or at the most three, and in succession. And let one interpret.

Yet in an assembly I would rather speak five words with my intellect, so that I might also make others understand, than countless words in a tongue.

My defense to those who examine me is this.

For though ye have countless instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus I begot you through the good-news.

Or know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For, The two, he says, will be in one flesh.

Nevertheless the knowledge is not in all men, but some, with conscience of the idol until now, eat as sacrificed to idols, and their weak conscience is defiled.

Neither become ye idolaters as some of them, as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to revel.

All the brothers salute you. Salute each other by a holy kiss.

But food does not present us to God, for neither if we eat are we ahead, nor if we do not eat are we behind.

and again, Lord knows the thoughts of the wise that they are vain.

But truly the spiritual man evaluates all things, but he himself is evaluated by none.

If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy this man, for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

But if any man loves God, this man is known by him.

I gave you milk to drink and not solid food, for ye were not yet able. But not even yet are ye able,

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord should will, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

Do I say these things according to man, or does not the law also say these things?

And the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets,

Have we no, not a right to eat and to drink?

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in an assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

Therefore let not one man boast in men. For all things are yours,

For ye can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn, and all may be encouraged.

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

for ye are still carnal. For whereas among you is envy and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal and walk according to man?

Because of this the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of the heavenly agents.

I thank my God always about you, for the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,

Because of this many are weak and sickly among you, and a considerable sleep.

Because of this I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every congregation.

Know ye not that we will judge heavenly agents? Then why not mundane things?

Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in Lord.

For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

For we are co-workmen of God. Ye are a tillage of God, an edifice of God.

For he must reign until he will put all his enemies under his feet.

But thanks is to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For it will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be transformed.

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

For since death is because of a man, the resurrection of the dead is also because of a man.

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

but we proclaim Christ crucified, truly to Jews a stumbling-block and to Gentiles foolishness.

O death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory?

and they all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them. And the rock was the Christ.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

But by the grace of God I am what I am. And his grace for me did not become empty, but I labored more abundantly than them all, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

For to one, the word of wisdom is given through the Spirit, and to another, the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

Otherwise what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?

By the pride that belongs to you, that I keep in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

For if I preach the good-news, it is not a source of pride for me, for an obligation is laid upon me. And woe is to me if I do not preach the good-news.

To the weak I became as weak, so that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, so that by all means I might save some.

But if we were discerning ourselves we would not be judged.

But when this perishable will have put on imperishability, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written, Death was swallowed up in victory.

All things are permitted for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are permitted for me, but not all things are constructive.

For who has known the mind of Lord that he will stand with him? But we have the mind of Christ.

for I know nothing on myself. Yet I have not been made righteous in this, but he who appraises me is Lord.

by which also ye are saved if ye hold firm that word I preached to you, unless ye believed in vain.

But we speak a wisdom of God in a hidden mystery, which God predestined before the ages for our glory,

For what man knows the things of the man, except the spirit of the man in him? And so nobody knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

But I give my body a black eye and subdue it, lest somehow having preached to others, I myself might become disqualified.

Your boasting is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

and that he was buried, and that he arose on the third day according to the scriptures,

For if a woman is not covered, let her also shear herself. But if it is an ugly thing for a woman to shear herself or be shaven, she should be covered.

and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

Every man praying or prophesying having something upon his head dishonors his head.

But it is a very small thing to me that I might be appraised by you or by a day of mankind. Yet neither do I appraise myself,

Therefore about eating the things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one.

Indeed therefore whenever ye have mundane legal disputes, men who are disdained by the church, these ye seat to judge.

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours,

For who makes thee different? And what have thou that thou did not receive? And also if thou received it, why do thou boast as not having received it?

Now concerning the virgins I have no commandment of Lord, but I give an opinion, as having obtained mercy from Lord to be trustworthy.

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain. Ye are still in your sins.
