in a moment, in a glance of an eye, at the last trumpet. For a trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.

272

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

277

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

281

Otherwise, what will they do, those being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not at all raised, why indeed are they baptized on behalf of the dead?

282

Day by day I die, by your rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

284

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

286

But when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and when this mortal shall put on immortality, then will take place the word that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory.

287

290

by which you also are being kept safe, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

301

If, then, you truly have judgments of the things of this life, set those who are least esteemed in the church to judge.

302

whether it is 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 to you not to associate intimately, if any man called a brother and is either a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

314

But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing separately to each one as He desires.

316

Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not 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 each?

318

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

319

322

to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

337

But I say that the things which the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I do not desire that you should have fellowship with demons.

340

Do not deprive one another, unless it is with consent for a time, so that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. And come together again so that Satan does not tempt you for your incontinence.

341

Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? Let it not be!

342

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

345

But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subject to Him who has subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all things in all.

346

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

347

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.

354

And so the secrets of his heart become revealed. And so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.

355

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to dwell with him, do not let him put her away.

356

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head; for that is even the same as if she were shaved.

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 desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and the spirit of meekness?

362

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. For no one hears, but in spirit he speaks mysteries.

364

Afterward He was seen by over five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until this present day, but also some fell asleep.

365

I wish all of you to speak in languages, but rather that you may prophesy; for greater is he prophesying than he speaking in tongues, unless he interpret so that the church may receive building up.

366

Charity does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth,

368

Do we not have authority to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brothers of the Lord do, and Cephas?

369

But concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord. Yet I give my judgment, as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

372

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

374

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

376

Afterward He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

377

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

But I exhort you, brothers. You know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they appointed themselves to ministry to the saints.

381

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, "He takes the wise in their own craftiness."

386

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

387

Yet lifeless things giving a sound, whether flute or harp, if they do not give a distinction in the sound, how will it be known what is being piped or harped?

389

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you, except I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?

392

If anyone thinks to be a prophet, or a spiritual one, let him recognize the things I write to you, that they are a commandment of the Lord.

393

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

395

So then, brothers, seek to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in languages.

397

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

So then he speaking in a language, let him pray that he may interpret.

399

But if anyone thinks it behaving himself indecently toward his virgin (if she is past her prime, and so it ought to be) let him do what he will; he does not sin; let them marry.

400

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

402

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

403

And why are we also in danger every hour?

404

Therefore if I do not know the power of the sound, I will be a foreigner to him speaking, and he speaking will be a foreigner to me.

405

Or did the Word of God go out from you? Or did it reach only to you?

406

But I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia; for I am going through Macedonia.

407

And we are also found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised Christ; whom He did not raise if the dead are not raised.

408

But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost.

409

There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly is truly different, and that of the earthly different;

410

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

411

But if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he works the work of the Lord, even as I do.

413

So it may be many kinds of sounds are in the world, and not one is without a distinct sound.

415

But if anyone hungers, let him eat at home, so that you do not come together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

416

So that, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

418

So also you, if you do not give a clear word through the language, how will it be known what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air.

420

As regards our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not altogether his will that he come now. But he will come when he has opportunity.

421

See that you also submit to such ones, and to everyone working and laboring with me.

422

And when I come, whomever you shall approve by your letters, I will send them to bring your gift to Jerusalem.

423

And this I speak for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare on you, but for that which is right, and that you may attend on 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;

427

And if it is suitable for me to go also, they shall go with me.

428

432

And God gives it a body as it has pleased Him, and to each of the seeds its own body.

433

But she is happier if she so remains, according to my judgment. And I also think that I have the Spirit of God.

434

And what you sow, you do not sow the body that is going to be, but a bare grain (perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest).

435

Therefore let not any despise him, but set him forward in peace, so that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brothers.

436

Such the earthy man, such also the earthy ones. And such the heavenly Man, such also the heavenly ones.

437

But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but who has authority over his own will (and has so judged in his heart that he will keep his virginity) he does well.
