Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

For I delivered to you among the first things that which I also had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;

Love is long-suffering, is kind; love envieth not; love is no vain boaster, is not inflated [with pride],

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

No temptation hath overtaken you, but what is common to men. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to bear; but will with the temptation make also a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear up under it.

NOW I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I have preached unto you, and which ye have received, in which also ye have stood fast;

THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become as sounding brass, and tinkling cymbal.

For the discourse, [the subject of which is] the cross, is indeed to those who perish, folly; but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, but all the members of that one body, though many, are one body: so also is Christ.

But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God: neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

For I received of the Lord what also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was betrayed, took a loaf:

Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all things to the glory of God.

For when one saith, I am indeed of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

And in weakness, and in fear, and in much timidity, was I among you.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

For by one Spirit we all have been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free men; and we have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

But, as it is written, "The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and that have not entered into the heart of man, these hath God prepared for those who love him."

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

I say then to the unmarried and the widows, that it is becoming them if they abide as I am.

But there are diversities of gifts, though the same Spirit.

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

Now I conjure you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that ye be perfectly united together in the same mind and the same sentiment.

or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes doubtless it was written; because he who ploweth ought to plow in hope, and he who soweth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

For as the woman was taken out of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things are of God.

Know ye not that they who run on the course, all run indeed, yet but one obtaineth the price? So run, that ye may obtain.

NOW concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who hath been made to us of God wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

But take heed that this power of yours become not an occasion of stumbling to the weak.

For the body is not one member, but many.

to the church of God which is at Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, with all those who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both their's and our's:

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

NOW with regard to those things concerning which ye have written unto me, it were good for a man not to touch a woman.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

BUT I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greater of these is love.

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

But I desire you to take notice that the head of every man is Christ; but the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

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

Now verily therefore there is altogether a fault among you, because ye have law-suits one with another. Why do ye not rather submit to the wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

For now we see by reflected light, indistinctly; but then face to face: now I know partially; but then shall I know even as I am known.

Let your women be silent in the churches: for it is not permitted to them to speak: but to be in subjection, as also the law saith.

BE ye imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus the Messiah.

But to us hath God revealed them by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth out all things, even the depths of God.

Now to every one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for usefulness.

Flee whoredom. Every other sin which a man may commit is without the body; but he who committeth whoredom sinneth against his own body.

Love never faileth: but if there be prophetic gifts, they shall be no more; if tongues, they shall cease; if science, it shall vanish away.

For though I be free from all men, I have made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, as ye are unleavened. For our passover hath been sacrificed for us, even Christ.

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

AND I, brethren, have been unable to speak to you as unto spiritual men, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ.

If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we should reap your corporal things?

But if they have not the gift of continence, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me, but I will not put myself under the power of any.

For if any man see thee that hast knowledge, sitting in an idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?

that in every thing ye have been enriched by him, in all utterance, and all knowledge;

For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

IT is generally reported that there is whoredom among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

LET a man so account of us, as the under servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

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

NOW concerning the collection which is for the saints, as I have given an order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

And so it is written, There was a first man Adam a living soul; a last Adam a quickening spirit.

PAUL, a called apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,

For if the dead are not raised, neither is Christ risen:

FOLLOW earnestly after love, and zealously seek spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

And these also hath God placed in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, directors, different kinds of tongues.

Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he shall have destroyed every dominion and every authority and power.

But if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?

Yet such were some of you: but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God.

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the injunctions as I delivered them unto you.

AND I, when I came to you, brethren, came not with superior excellence of discourse or wisdom, preaching unto you the gospel of God.

NOW concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.

thus the testimony of Jesus hath been confirmed among you:

On the first day of the week let every one of you set apart with himself, treasuring it up, whatsoever he may please to give, that when I come there may be then no gatherings.

but the foolish things of this world hath God elected, that he might confound the wise; and the feeble things of the world hath God elected, that he might confound the mighty;

who shall confirm you to the end blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

for since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many fleshly wise, not many men in power, not many men of high birth, are called:

Be not deceived: evil conversations corrupt good manners.

Judge among yourselves, is it decent for a woman to be praying to God without a covering?

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, be manful, be strong.

How comes it then, brethren, that when ye assemble together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? Let all things be done to edification.

For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

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

Wherefore I advertise you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, call Jesus anathema: and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.

But in the matter I am going to denounce, I do not commend you, that ye meet together not for the better, but for the worse.

DARE any of you, having a matter of controversy with another, sue for judgment before the unjust, and not before the saints?

But we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are destroying themselves:

Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters: for then must ye indeed go out of the world.

Now all these things happened unto them as examples, but they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come.

Wherefore judge nothing before the time until the Lord come, who also will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will manifest the counsels of men's hearts; and then shall praise be given to each from God.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew forth the death of the Lord till he come.

For ye have been bought with a price: glorify then God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

According to the grace of God given unto me, as a skilful architect, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every one take heed how he buildeth upon it.

For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of discourse, lest the cross of Christ should be slighted.

I have written unto you in an epistle that you should not associate with fornicators.

Wherefore, whosoever eateth of this bread, or drinketh the cup of the Lord unworthily, he is guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified.

Which things also we speak, not in discourses framed by human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit of God; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

I rejoice in the arrival of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; because what was lacking from you, they have supplied.

But if a woman let her hair flow, it is an ornament to her; for the hair was given her for a covering,

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptised into the name of Paul?

and when he had blessed it, he brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me.

But to the married not I command, but the Lord, That the wife be not separated from the husband:

But ye do wrong and defraud, and that the brethren.

Now this I observe, that one and another of you saith, I am indeed of Paul; but I of Apollos; but I of Cephas; but I am of Christ.

But if any man mean to be contentious about it, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God.

and even if she should be separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

If the whole body were eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

Behold Israel after the flesh. Are not they who eat of the sacrifices partakers with the altar?

For we, though many, are one loaf, one body; for we all partake of that one loaf.

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

For the husband that believeth not is sanctified by the wife, and the wife who believeth not is sanctified by the husband: else indeed your children were unclean, but now are they holy.

if others partake of this power over you, ought not we much more? But we have not used this power, and we suffer all things, that we might not put any obstruction in the way of the gospel of Christ.

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

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

Else, though thou bless God in spirit, how shall he who filleth the place of an illiterate man, say Amen after thy thanksgiving, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest?

And I also baptised the household of Stephanus: besides these, I know not if I baptised any other person.

Know ye not that they who are employed about the holy things, are fed from the temple? and they who serve at the altar, partake with the altar?

And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it not therefore of the body?

I speak as unto wise men: judge ye what I say.

And the wife which hath a husband not a believer, and he chuses to dwell with her, let her not put him away.

But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

that no man might say, I baptised into my own name.

But if the whole were one member, where were the body?

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but every one shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

For the Jews demand a miracle, and the Greeks seek wisdom:

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours; respect therefore such men.

But now hath God placed the members, every one of them in the body, as he hath chosen.

Now ye are full, now ye have grown rich, ye have reigned without us: and I wish indeed that you may reign, that we also might reign together with you.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God who giveth the increase.

But now the members indeed are many, but the body one.

So also the Lord hath commanded to those who preach the gospel, that they should live by the gospel.

But those who are without God judgeth. Put then away that wicked man from among yourselves.

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of the intelligent will I make useless."

that your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

being injuriously spoken of, we entreat; we are made as the ordures of the world, as the sweepings of all things unto this day.

For I think that God hath exposed us his apostles the last as devoted unto death. For we have been made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.

Is any man called being circumcised? let him not affect uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

Nor can the eye say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

For how knowest thou, O wife, but thou shalt save thy husband? and how knowest thou, O husband, but thou shalt save thy wife?

But I have used nothing of these things, nor have I written indeed these things, that it should be so done respecting me; for it would become me to die rather than that any man should make my glorying void.

Now this I say, brethren, that the time is short. The conclusion is, that even they who have wives, should be as though they had not;

For what call have I to judge those who are without? Do not ye judge those who are within [the church]?

Art thou called being a slave? let it give thee no concern; but if thou canst also obtain thy freedom, rather make use of it.

Yea, much more the members of the body, which appear to be more feeble, are necessary:

What do I say then? that an idol is any thing, or that which is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?

Have you been redeemed with a price? become not the slaves of men.

and they who weep as though they wept not; and they who rejoice as though they rejoiced not; and they that purchase as though they possessed not;

Let every one, brethren, in the vocation wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

I thank my God, that I speak with different tongues more than you all:

We are counted fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are mighty; ye are honourable persons, but we despised.

For there must be heresies among you, that they who are the tried ones, may be made manifest among you.

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

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

For thou indeed givest thanks to God well, but another man is not edified by it.

nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, I am entrusted with the dispensation [of it].

Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

For he that is called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freed man: in like manner also, he that is called, being a free man, is the servant of Christ.

For in the first place, when ye assemble in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of daemons: ye cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and the table of daemons.

and they who use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

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

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the observance of the commandments of God.

Let every one abide in the calling in which he is called.

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

For one in the eating it taketh before another his own supper: and one is hungry, and another drinks to excess.

I think then that this is becoming, considering our present straits, that it is proper for a man to be thus.

Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

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

But if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, timbers, hay, stubble;

that, as it is written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

to those who are without law, as without law (not as being without law to God, but under the law to Christ), that I might gain those who were without law.

have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

and the ignoble things of the world, and the despicable, hath God elected, and the things that are not, to bring to nought the things which are,

For I would that all men were even as myself: but every man hath his peculiar gift from God, one of this sort, and another of that.

The salutation of Paul with mine own hand.

The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not power over his own body, but the wife.

What! have ye not houses to eat in and to drink? or despise ye the church of God, and make those ashamed who have none? What shall I say unto you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

For even to this present hour we undergo hunger and thirst and nakedness, and are buffeted about, and have no settled abode;

Conscience indeed I say, not merely thine own, but that of the other person.

In the law it is written, "That with other tongues, and with other lips, will I speak to this people: and even thus will they not attend to me, saith the Lord."

The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church which is in their house.

What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel, I may put the gospel of Christ to no expence, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and perished by the destroyer.

"for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof."

every man's work shall be made manifest: for that day shall declare it, for it shall be laid open by fire; and the fire shall prove every man's work of what sort it is.

Every thing which is sold in the shambles eat, asking no question for conscience sake;

For why is my liberty abridged by another's conscience? If I truly with thanksgiving am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

Now I conjure you, be followers of me.

But in this I speak my opinion only, not authoritatively.

and those parts which we esteem as the more dishonourable of the body, on them we bestow more abundant honour, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

If any man's work which he hath built abide [the trial], he shall receive a reward.

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to those that believe, but to those who do not believe: but the gift of prophecy is not for those who are infidels, but for believers.

And ye are puffed up, though ought ye not rather to be grieved? that he who hath done this deed might be plucked from the midst of you.

that no flesh should glory in his presence.

and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

But being judged, we are corrected by the Lord, that we might not be condemned with the world.

in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ye being assembled together and my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn away after the idols that are dumb, even as ye have been led.

And if any one of those, who do not believe, invite you, and ye incline to go, eat every thing set before you, asking no question for conscience sake.

If then the whole church assemble together in the same place, and all speak different tongues, and there come in illiterate persons, or infidels, will they not say ye are mad?

Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

But if any person say unto you, This is an idol's sacrifice, eat not of it, for his sake who pointed it out, and for conscience sake. For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.

Now these things were examples for us, that we might not be coveters of evil things, as they also coveted.

For I indeed, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have already, as present, passed judgment on him who hath so done this thing;

and work hard, labouring with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it;

If I am not an apostle unto others, doubtless I am to you: for ye are the seal of my apostolic mission in the Lord.

Let the prophets two or three speak, and let the others judge.

But if any man conceit that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up by his own power.

Brethren, be not children in your minds: though in naughtiness be ye children, but in your minds be men complete.

for in the law of Moses it is written, "Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox which treadeth out the corn." Doth God take care for oxen?

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

If any man's work be burnt up, he shall suffer loss: but himself shall be saved; yet so as through the fire.

And there are diversities of services, but the same Lord.

Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them also committed, and in one day fell twenty-three thousand.

For though there are gods so called, whether celestial or terrestrial, (as [of this sort] there are gods many, and lords many;)

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not really come to you.

to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing [diseases] by the same Spirit;

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.

But if any thing should be revealed to one sitting by, let the first be silent.

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

and did all eat the same spiritual meat;

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

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I admonish you.

or I alone and Barnabas, have we not power to forbear labour?

But if all prophesy, and any infidel or illiterate person come in, he receives conviction from all, he is judged of all:

Who goeth at any time to war at his own expences? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit of it? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

I therefore so run not as uncertainly; so do I exercise with my fists, not as striking the air:

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be a partaker of it with you.

If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at most by three, and one after another; and let one interpret.

but in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

My apology to those who interrogate me is this,

For though ye may have ten thousand teachers in Christ, yet not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus through the Gospel I have begotten you.

Do you not know that he that is joined to an harlot is one body with her? For they two, saith he, shall be "one flesh."

Howbeit there is not in all men this knowledge; but some having conscientious respect for the idol to this moment, eat the meat as sacrificed to the idol; and their conscience being weak, is defiled.

Neither be ye idolaters as some of them; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to sport themselves."

All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat are we the better, or if we eat not are we the worse.

And again, "The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are futile."

But the spiritual man discerneth indeed all things, though himself is discernible by no man.

If any man prophane the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

And I have given you milk to drink, and not meat: for hitherto ye have not been capable of it, yea, even to the present moment ye are not capable of it.

But I will come shortly unto you, if the Lord please, and will know, not the prating of them that are puffed up, but the power.

Speak I these things [rationally] as a man, or doth not the law speak the same things?

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

Have we not power to eat and drink?

But if there be not an interpreter, let him be silent in the church; but let him speak to himself and to God.

Wherefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all be comforted.

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

For ye are still carnal: for since there are among you envy, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as [other] men?

Therefore ought the woman to retain upon her head [this badge of authority], because of the angels [of the churches].

I give thanks to my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which hath been given you in Christ Jesus;

For this cause many are diseased and infirm among you, and some asleep [in death].

For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my son beloved and faithful in Christ, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ Jesus, as I teach every where in every church.

Know ye not that we shall judge angels, much more things pertaining to this life?

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man in the Lord.

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not distinguishing the Lord's body.

For we are God's fellowlabourers: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

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

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

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

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

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

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

but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offence, and to the Greeks folly;

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

and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock which followed them; but that rock was Christ.

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

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was given to 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.

Else what will they do who are baptised? for the dead, if wholly dead they rise no more. Why are they then baptised for the dead?

I solemnly declare by all the joy over you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me, yea verily woe is to me if I preach not the gospel.

I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak; I became all things to all men, that by every means I might save some.

For if we thoroughly judged ourselves, we should not be judged of the Lord.

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

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
