175

238

If anyone speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

239

yet in the congregation I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

240

My answer to those that examine me is this,

241

For though ye may have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet ye shall not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

242

What? know ye not that he who is joined to the harlot is one body with her? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.

252

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and will know not the words of those who are puffed up, but the virtue.

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

265

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more the things that pertain to this life?

267

For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

271

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised without corruption, and we shall be changed.

272

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

277

and did all drink the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was the Christ.

281

Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

282

I die daily to stay in the glory of having taught you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

283

For though I preach the gospel, I have no reason to glory, for it is an obligation laid upon me; for woe is me, if I do not preach the gospel!

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

287

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

290

by which also ye are being saved if ye retain the word that I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

294

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

297

and that he appeared to Cephas and then to the twelve;

298

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonours his head.

299

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by man's judgment; I do not even judge my own self.

300

As concerning, therefore, the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

301

If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set as judges the most humble who are in the congregation .

302

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come, all are yours;

306

Be without offense, neither to the Jews nor to the Gentiles nor to the congregation of God;

307

But now I have written unto you not to associate with anyone calling himself a brother if he is a fornicator or covetous or an idolater or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner; with such a one do not even eat.

313

And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

314

one and the same Spirit operates all these things, dispersing to each one his own gift as he wills.

316

Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are not ye my work in the Lord?

317

Who then is Paul? and who is Apollos? but servants by whom ye believed, each one according to that which the Lord gave.

318

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes, that in us ye might not learn above that which is written, lest because of one, some of you become puffed up against others.

319

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brothers?

321

But brother goes to judgment against brother, and that before the unbelievers.

322

let such a one be delivered unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

324

But I would have you without worry. He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

328

For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is clear that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.

329

He that speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself, but he that prophesies edifies the congregation .

330

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the philosopher of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

332

After the same manner also he took the cup, after he had eaten supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood; do this each time that ye drink, in remembrance of me.

337

But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I would not that ye should be participants of demons.

340

Do not defraud one another, except it be with mutual consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer and come together again, that Satan not tempt you for your incontinency.

341

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? In no wise.

342

For I am the least of the apostles, for I am not worthy to be called an apostle because I persecuted the congregation of God.

343

If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what does it advantage me, if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die.

345

And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also subject himself unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

346

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also; I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

347

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

354

for the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, declaring that God is indeed in you.

355

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord: If any brother has a wife that does not believe, and she consents to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

356

But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head, for that is even the same as if she were shaven.

357

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

361

What will ye? Shall I come unto you with a rod or in charity and in the spirit of meekness?

362

For he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto God, for no one understands him, even though by the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

364

after that, he appeared unto more than five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain unto now, but some are fallen asleep.

365

I would that ye all spoke with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied, for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, that the congregation may receive edifying.

368

Do we not have authority to bring with us a sister, a wife, as also the other apostles and as the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

369

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord, yet I give my advice, as one that has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

372

But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let them walk. And so I ordain in all the congregations .

374

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

376

After that, he appeared unto James; then to all the apostles.

377

Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man lets his hair grow, it is dishonest?

378

it is sown a natural body, it shall be raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

380

I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia and that they have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints),

386

Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you seems to be wise in this age, let them become a fool that they may be wise.

387

And even things without life giving sound, whether flute or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is played or harped?

388

And last of all he appeared unto me also, as of one born out of due time.

389

Now, brothers, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either with revelation or with knowledge or with prophecy or with doctrine?

392

If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

393

even as I please everyone in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

395

Therefore, brothers, earnestly pursue prophecy and do not forbid to speak with tongues.

397

One thing is the glory of the sun, and another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

398

Therefore, let him that speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

399

But if anyone thinks it uncomely regarding his daughter, if she passes the bloom of life, and need so requires, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry.

400

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither is Christ risen;

402

For if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

403

And why do we stand in jeopardy every hour?

404

Therefore, if I ignore the virtue of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaks as a barbarian, and he that speaks shall be a barbarian unto me.

405

What? Did the word of God come out from you? or did it come unto you only?

406

Now I will come unto you, when I have passed through Macedonia, for I must pass through Macedonia.

407

And we are even found false witnesses of God because we have testified of God that he raised up the Christ, whom he did not raise up, if it so be that the dead do not rise.

408

But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

409

There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the heavenly glory is one thing, and the earthly glory is another.

410

All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

411

Now if Timothy comes, see that he may stay with you securely, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

413

There are many kinds of distinct voices in the world, and nothing is dumb.

415

And if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home; that ye not come together unto judgment. And I will set the rest in order when I come.

416

Therefore, my brothers, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.

418

So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue a clear and definite word, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

420

As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with some of the brothers, but his will was not at all to come at this time, but he will come when he shall have opportunity.

421

that ye submit yourselves unto such and to each one that helps and labours.

422

And when I come, whomever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

423

And this I speak for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is honourable and that ye may attend upon the Lord without impediment.

424

And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is a dishonest thing for women to speak in the congregation .

425

it is sown in dishonour, it shall be raised with glory; it is sown in weakness, it shall be raised with power;

426

For I desire not to see you now in passing, but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permits.

427

And if it is appropriate that I go also, they shall go with me.

428

And it may be that I will abide and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey wherever I go.

429

But anyone that ignores them shall be ignored.

430

So then he that gives her in marriage does well, but he that does not give her in marriage does better.

432

but God gives it a body as it has pleased him, and to each seed its own body.

433

But she shall be more blessed if she so abides, after my counsel, and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
