Do ye not know that unrighteous persons shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men,

Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God; and ye are not your own?

No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to bear, but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that ye should be able to bear it.

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

but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,

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

But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned;

For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman, but all things of God.

Know ye not that they who run in the race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain.

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

But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman's head is the man, and the Christ's head God.

so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away.

For being free from all, I have made myself bondman to all, that I might gain the most possible.

Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened. For also our passover, Christ, has been sacrificed;

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of the Christ?

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so do ye do also.

Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.

Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,

Follow after love, and be emulous of spiritual manifestations, but rather that ye may prophesy.

And God has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.

For consider your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?

Be vigilant; stand fast in the faith; quit yourselves like men; be strong.

What is it then, brethren? whenever 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 to edification.

I have written to you in the epistle not to mix with fornicators;

So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,

If the foot say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?

Since otherwise, if thou blessest with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the simple Christian say Amen, at thy giving of thanks, since he does not know what thou sayest?

Do ye not know that they who labour at sacred things eat of the offerings offered in the temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar?

But these things happened as types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.

For I, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as present,

and labour, working with our own hands. Railed at, we bless; persecuted, we suffer it;
