277

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

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

282

I protest by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

290

But I roughly treat my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.

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 you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

302

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

307

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to 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 love, I am nothing.

314

But in all these works that one and same Spirit, dividing to every man individually as he will.

316

Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not you my work in the Lord?

317

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

318

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that you might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

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 brethren?

322

To deliver such a one 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 concern. 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 church.

330

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

335

Does not behave itself rudely, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, keeps no record of evil;

337

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with demons.

340

Deprive not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your lack of self-control.

341

Know you 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? God forbid.

342

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

345

And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject 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

And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

355

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

356

But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same as if she were shaven.

357

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

361

What do you wish? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

362

For he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto God: for no man understands him; but in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

364

After that, he was seen of over five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep.

365

I would that you all spoke with tongues, but rather that you prophesied: for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

368

Have we not the right to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as 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 judgment, as one that has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

372

But as God has distributed to every man, as the Lord has called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

374

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

376

After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

377

Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a shame unto him?

378

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

380

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

386

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

387

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

389

Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

392

If any man 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 all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

394

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

395

Therefore, brethren, be eager to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

397

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another 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 any man think that he behaves himself improperly toward his virgin, if she pass the prime of her age, and need so require, let him do what he desires, he sins not: let them marry.

400

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

402

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

403

And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

404

Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaks a foreigner, and he that speaks shall be a foreigner unto me.

405

What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

406

Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

407

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

408

But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

409

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial 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 fish, and another of birds.

411

Now if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do.

413

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

415

And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

416

Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait one for another.

418

So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for you shall speak into the air.

420

Concerning our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.

421

That you submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that works with us, and labors.

422

And when I come, whomsoever you 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 proper, and that you may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

425

It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

426

For I will not see you now in passing; but I trust to tarry awhile with you, if the Lord permits.

427

And if it be fitting that I go also, they shall go with me.

428

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

429

But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

430

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

432

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

433

But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

434

And that which you sow, you sow not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may by chance be wheat, or of some other grain:

435

Let no man therefore despise him: but send him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
