If ye have judgments of worldly matters, take them which are despised in the congregation, and make them judges.

302

whether it be Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas: whether it be the world, or life, either death, whether they be present things or things to come: all are yours,

306

See that ye give none occasion of evil: neither to the Jews, nor yet to the gentiles, neither to the congregation of God.

307

314

and these all worketh even the self same spirit, dividing to every man several gifts even as he will.

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

What is Paul? What thing is Apollos? Only ministers are they, by whom ye believed: even as the Lord gave every man grace.

319

This I say to your shame. Is there utterly no wise man among you? What, not one at all? That can judge between brother and brother?

He that speaketh with tongues, profiteth himself: he that prophesieth, edifieth the congregation.

330

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness?

332

After the same manner he took the cup when supper was done saying, "This cup is the new testament in my blood, this do as oft as ye drink it, in the remembrance of me."

335

dealeth not dishonestly, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh not evil,

337

Nay, but I say, that these things which the gentiles offer, they offer to devils, and not to God. And I would not that ye should have fellowship with the devils.

340

Withdraw not yourselves one from another except it be with consent for a time, for to give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and afterward come again to the same thing, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.

341

Either, remember ye not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I now take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid.

342

For I am the least of all the apostles, which am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God:

343

345

When all things are 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 things.

346

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

347

If I pray with tongues, my spirit prayeth: but my mind is without fruit.

354

and so are the secrets of his heart opened: and so falleth he down on his face, and worshippeth God, and saith that God is with you indeed.

355

To the remnant speak I, and not the Lord: if any brother have a wife that believeth not, if she be content to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

356

Every woman that prayeth or prophesieth bare-headed, dishonesteth her head. For it is even all one and the very same thing, even as though she were shaven.

357

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? If the world shall be judged by you: are ye not good enough to judge small trifles?

361

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

362

For he that speaketh with tongues speaketh not unto men, but unto God. For no man heareth him: Howbeit, in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

364

After that, he was seen of more than five hundred brethren at once: of which many remain unto this day, and many are fallen asleep.

365

I would that ye all spake with tongues: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he expound it also, that the congregation may have edifying.

368

Either, have we not power to lead about a sister to wife as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

369

As concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord: yet give I counsel as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

372

But even as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every person, so let him walk: and so ordain I in all congregations.

374

380

Brethren, ye know the house of Stephanas, how that they are the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have appointed themselves to minister unto the saints:

381

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

386

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

387

Moreover when things without life give sound: whether it be a pipe, or a harp - except they make a distinction in the sounds - how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

388

And last of all he was seen of me, as of one that was born out of due time.

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

392

If any man think himself a prophet, either spiritual: let him understand what things I write unto you. For they are the commandments of the Lord.

393

Even as I please all men in all things not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they might be saved.

If any man think that it is uncomely for his virgin if she pass the time of marriage, and if so need require, let him do what he listeth, he sinneth not: let them be coupled in marriage.

400

If there be no rising again of the dead: then is Christ not risen.

402

And also if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself to fight?

403

405

Sprang the word of God from you? Either came it unto you only?

406

I will come unto you after I have gone over Macedonia. For I will go throughout Macedonia.

407

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God. For we have testified of God how that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up, if it be so that the dead rise not up again.

Wherefore my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

418

Even so, likewise, when ye speak with tongues, except ye speak words that have signification, how shall it be understood what is spoken? For ye shall but speak in the air.

420

To speak of brother Apollos: I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren, but his mind was not at all to come at this time. Howbeit, he will come when he shall have convenient time.

421

I beseech you that ye be obedient unto such, and to all that help and labour.

422
