Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. For neither fornicators, neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind,

For first of all, I delivered unto you that which I received: how that Christ died for our sins, agreeing to the scriptures,

Love suffereth long, and is courteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not forwardly, swelleth not,

Either, know ye not how that your bodies are the temple of the holy ghost, which is in you, whom he have of God, and how that ye are not your own?

There hath none other temptation taken you, such as followeth the nature of man. God is faithful, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above your strength: but shall in the midst of the temptation make a way to escape out.

Brethren as pertaining to the gospel which I preached unto you, which ye have also accepted, and in the which ye continue;

Though I spake with the tongues of men and angels, and yet had no love, I were even as sounding brass: or as a tinkling cymbal.

For the preaching of the cross is, to them that perish, foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of one body though they be many, yet are but one body: even so is Christ.

This say I brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither doth corruption inherit uncorruption.

That which I delivered unto you I received of the Lord. For the Lord Jesus the same night in the which he was betrayed, took bread,

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

As long as one saith "I hold of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are ye not carnal?

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

Are ye not aware that ye are the temple of God, and how that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?

For in one spirit are we all baptised to make one body, whether we be Jews or gentiles: whether we be bond or free, and have all drunk of one spirit.

But as it is written, "The eye hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

Behold, I show a mystery unto you: we shall not all sleep: but we shall all be changed,

I say unto the unmarried men, and widows: it is good for them if they abide even as I do,

There are diversities of gifts verily, yet but one spirit.

For the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are but foolishness unto him: Neither can he perceive them, because he is spiritually examined.

I beseech you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all speak one thing and that there be no dissension among you: but be ye perfect in one mind, and one meaning.

Either saith he it not altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he which eareth should ear in hope: and that he which thresheth in hope, should be partaker of his hope.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man by the woman: but all is of God.

Perceive ye not how that they which run in a course, run all, yet but one receiveth the reward? So run that ye may obtain.

In spiritual things, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

And unto him pertain ye, in Christ Jesus, which of God is made unto us wisdom, and also righteousness, and sanctifying, and redemption.

But take heed that your liberty cause not the weak to fall.

For the body is not one member, but many.

Unto the congregation of God which is at Corinth. To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ, saints by calling, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both of theirs and of ours.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and is become the first fruits of them that slept.

As concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man, not to touch a woman.

Therefore, my dear brethren, be ye steadfast and unmovable, always rich in the works of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know how that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Brethren I would not that ye should be ignorant of this, how that our fathers were all under a cloud, and all passed through the sea,

Now abideth faith, hope, and love, even these three: but the chief of these is love.

yet unto us is there but one God, which is the father, of whom are all things, and we in him: and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

I would ye knew that Christ is the head of every man; and the man is the woman's head; and God is Christ's head.

Therefore let us keep holiday, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of maliciousness and wickedness - but with the sweet bread of pureness and truth.

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why rather suffer ye not wrong? Why rather suffer ye not yourselves to be robbed?

Now we see in a glass, even in a dark speaking: but then shall we see face to face. Now I know unperfectly: but then shall I know even as I am known.

Let your wives keep silence in the congregations. For it is not permitted unto them to speak: but let them be under obedience, as saith the law.

Follow me as I do Christ.

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

But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, yea the bottom of God's secrets.

The gifts of the spirit are given to every man to profit the congregation.

Flee fornication. All sins that a man doth, are without the body. But he that is a fornicator, sinneth against his own body.

Though that prophesying fail, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge vanish away: yet love falleth never away.

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all men, that I might win the more.

Purge therefore the old leaven, that ye may be new dough, as ye are sweet bread. For Christ our Easter lamb is offered up for us.

Is not the cup of blessing which we bless, partaking of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break, partaking of the body of Christ?

And I could not speak unto you brethren as unto spiritual: but as unto carnal, even as it were unto babes in Christ.

If we sow unto you spiritual things: is it a great thing if we reap your carnal things?

but and if they cannot abstain, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn.

All things are lawful unto me: but all things are not profitable. I may do all things: but I will be brought under no man's power.

For if some man see thee, which hast knowledge, sit at meat in the idol's temple shall not the conscience of him which is weak be boldened to eat those things which are offered unto the idol?

that in all things ye are made rich by him, in all learning and in all knowledge:

For as by Adam all die; even so by Christ, shall all be made alive,

There goeth a common saying that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not once named among the gentiles: that one should have his father's wife.

Let men this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God.

Ye are the body of Christ, and members one of another.

And we have not received the spirit of the world: but the spirit which cometh of God, for to know the things that are given to us of God,

For God is not causer of strife: but of peace, as he is in all other congregations of the saints.

Of the gathering for the saints, as I have ordained in the congregations of Galatia, even so do ye.

As it is written, "The first man Adam was made a living soul," and the last Adam was made a quickening spirit:

Paul, by vocation an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes.

For if the dead rise not again, then is Christ not risen again.

Labour for love, and covet spiritual gifts: and most chiefly for to prophesy.

And God hath also ordained in the congregation, first the apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, then them that do miracles; after that, the gifts of healing, helpers, governors, diversity of tongues.

Then cometh the end, when he hath delivered up the kingdom to God the father, when he hath put down all rule, authority, and power.

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

And such were ye verily: but ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified by the name of the Lord Jesus: And by the spirit of our God.

I commend you brethren that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances even as I delivered them to you.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in gloriousness of words or of wisdom, showing unto you the testimony of God.

To speak of things dedicated unto idols, we are sure that we all have knowledge. Knowledge maketh a man swell: but love edifieth.

even as the testimony of Jesus Christ was confirmed in you:

Upon some Sunday, let every one of you put aside at home, and lay up whatsoever he thinketh meet, that there be no gatherings when I come.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound things which are mighty.

which shall strengthen you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For when the world, through wisdom, knew not God in the wisdom of God: it pleased God through foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

Brethren, look on your calling how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many of high degree are called:

Be not deceived: malicious speakings corrupt good manners.

Judge in yourselves whether it be comely that a woman pray unto God bareheaded.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, and be strong.

How is it then brethren? When ye come together, every man hath his song, hath his doctrine, hath his tongue, hath his revelation, hath his interpretation: Let all things be done unto edifying.

It is showed unto me, my brethren, of you by them that are of the house of Chloe; that there is strife among you.

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

Wherefore I declare unto you that no man speaking in the spirit of God defieth Jesus. Also no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the holy ghost.

This I warn you of, and commend not that ye come together: not after a better manner but after a worse.

How dare one of you having business with another, go to law under the wicked? And not rather under the saints?

That we speak of is wisdom among them that are perfect - not the wisdom of this world, neither of the rulers of this world, which goeth to nought -

And I meant not at all of the fornicators of this world, either of the covetous, or of extortioners, either of the idolaters - for then must ye needs have gone out of the world -

All these things happened upon them for examples, and were written to put us in remembrance, whom the ends of the world are come upon.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God.

For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye shall show the Lord's death, till he come.

For ye are dearly bought. Therefore glorify ye God in your bodies and in your spirits, for they are God's.

According to the grace of God given unto me, as a wise builder have I laid the foundation; and another hath built thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon.

For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should have been made of none effect.

I wrote unto you in an epistle that ye should not company with fornicators.

Wherefore whosoever shall eat of this bread, or drink of the cup unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

Neither showed I myself that I knew anything among you save Jesus Christ, even the same that was crucified.

which things also we speak - not in the cunning words of man's wisdom, but with the cunning words of the holy ghost, making spiritual comparisons of spiritual things.

I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

and a praise to a woman if she have long hair? For her hair is given her to cover her withal.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Either were ye baptised in the name of Paul?

and thanked and brake, and said, "Take ye, and eat ye. This is my body which is broken for you. This do ye in the remembrance of me."

Unto the married command not I, but the Lord: that the wife separate not herself from the man.

Nay, ye yourselves do wrong, and rob: and that the brethren.

And this is it that I mean: how that commonly among you, one sayeth, "I hold of Paul"; Another, "I hold of Apollos"; the third, "I hold of Cephas"; and the fourth that, "I hold of Christ."

If there be any man among you that lusteth to strife, let him know that we have no such customs, neither the congregations of God.

If she separate herself, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled unto her husband again. And let not the husband put away his wife from him.

If all the body were an eye: where were then the ear? If all were hearing: where were the smelling?

Behold Israel which walketh carnally. Are not they which eat of the sacrifice, partakers of the altar?

Because that we - though we be many - yet are one bread, and one body inasmuch as we all are partakers of one bread.

And so through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish for whom Christ died.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife: and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband. Or else were your children unclean: but now are they pure.

If others be partakers of this power over you, wherefore are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power: but suffer all things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

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

If the foot say, "I am not the hand, therefore I am not of the body," is he therefore not of the body?

For else when thou blessest with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say "amen" at thy giving of thanks? Seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

I baptised also the house of Stephanas. Furthermore know I not whether I baptised any man of you or no.

Do ye not understand how that they which minister in the temple, have their finding of the temple? And they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

And if the ear say, "I am not the eye, therefore I am not of the body," is he therefore not of the body?

I speak as unto them which have discretion: judge ye what I say.

And the woman which hath to her husband an infidel, if he consent to dwell with her, let her not put him away.

When ye sin so against the brethren and wound their weak consciences, ye sin against Christ.

lest any should say that I in mine own name had baptised.

If they were all one member: where were the body?

He that planteth, and he that watereth, are neither better than the other. Every man yet shall receive his reward according to his labour.

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom.

They have comforted my spirit and yours. Look therefore that ye know them that are such.

But now hath God disposed the members, every one of them in the body, at his own pleasure.

Now ye are full: now ye are made rich: ye reign as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we might reign with you.

So then, neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth: but God which gave the increase.

Wherefore if meat hurt my brother, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, because I will not hurt my brother.

Now are there many members, yet but one body.

Even so also did the Lord ordain, that they which preach the gospel, should live of the gospel.

Them that are without, God shall judge. Put away from among you that evil person.

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent."

that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men: but in the power of God.

We are evil spoken of, and we pray. We are made as it were the filthiness of the world, the offscouring of all things, even unto this time.

Me thinketh that God hath set forth us, which are apostles, for the lowest of all: as it were, men appointed to death. For we are a gazingstock unto the world, and to the angels, and to men.

If any man be called being circumcised, let him add nothing thereto. If any be called uncircumcised: let him not be circumcised.

And the eye cannot say unto the hand, "I have no need of thee," nor the head also to the feet, "I have no need of you."

For how knowest thou o woman, whether thou shalt save that man or no? Other, how knowest thou o man, whether thou shalt save that woman or no?

But I have used none of these things. Neither wrote I these things that it should be so done unto me. For it were better for me to die than any man should take this rejoicing from me.

This say I, brethren: the time is short. It remaineth that they which have wives, be as though they had none:

For what have I to do to judge them which are without? Do ye not judge them that are within?

Art thou called a servant? Care not for it. Nevertheless if thou mayst be free, use it rather.

Yea, rather a great deal those members of the body which seem to be most feeble, are most necessary.

What say I then? That the image is anything? Or that it which is offered to images is anything?

Ye are dearly bought; be not men's servants.

and they that weep, be as though they wept not: and they that rejoice, be as though they rejoiced not: And they that buy, be as though they possessed not:

Brethren, let every man wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.

We are fools for Christ's sake, and ye are wise through Christ: we are weak, and ye are strong. Ye are honorable, and we are despised.

For there must be sects among you, that they which among you are perfect might be known.

For our honest members need it not: but God hath so disposed the body, and hath given most honour to that part which lacked,

lest there should be any strife in the body: but that the members should indifferently care for one another.

Thou verily givest thanks well: but the other is not edified.

neither thieves, neither the covetous, neither drunkards, neither cursed speakers, neither extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God.

If I do it with a good will, I have a reward. But if I do it against my will, an office is committed unto me.

And thereto, they which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

For he that is called in the Lord being a servant, is the Lord's freeman. Likewise he that is called being free, is Christ's servant.

First of all, when ye come together in the congregation, I hear that there is dissension among you: And I partly believe it.

Ye cannot drink of the cup of the Lord, and of the cup of the devils. Ye can not be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

And they that use this world, be as though they used it not: For the fashion of this world goeth away.

And unto the Jews, I became as a Jew, to win the Jews. To them that were under the law, was I made as though I had been under the law, to win them that were under the law.

Circumcision is nothing, uncircumcision is nothing: but the keeping of the commandments of God is altogether.

Let every man abide in the same state wherein he was called.

Either, shall we provoke the Lord? Or are we stronger than he?

For every man beginneth afore to eat his own supper. And one is hungry, and another is drunken.

I suppose that it is good for the present necessity. For it is good for a man so to be.

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

When ye come together in one place, a man cannot eat the Lord's supper.

If any man build on this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, timber, hay, or stubble:

That according, as it is written, "He which rejoiceth, should rejoice in the Lord."

To them that were without law, became I as though I had been without law - when I was not without law as pertaining to God, but under a law as concerning Christ - to win them that were without law.

Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

And vile things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things of no reputation, for to bring to nought things of reputation,

But and if thou take a wife, thou sinnest not. Likewise if a virgin marry, she sinneth not. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in their flesh: but I saver you.

For I would that all men were as I myself am: but every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, another after that.

The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand:

The wife hath not power over her own body: but the husband; And likewise the man hath not power over his own body: but the wife.

Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or else despise ye the congregation of God? And shame them that have not? What shall I say unto you? Shall I praise you? In this praise I you not.

Even unto this day we hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted with fists, and have no certain dwelling place,

Conscience I say, not thine: but the conscience of that other. For why should my liberty be judged of another man's conscience?

In the law it is written, "With other tongues, and with other lips will I speak unto this people, and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord."

The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, and so doeth the congregation that is in their house.

What is my reward then? Verily that when I preach the gospel, I make the gospel of Christ free, that I misuse not mine authority in the gospel.

Neither murmur ye as some of them murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

For the earth is the Lord's, and all that therein is.

every man's work shall appear. For the day shall declare it, and it shall be showed in fire, and the fire shall try every man's work what it is.

Whatsoever is sold in the market, that eat, and ask no questions for conscience sake.

For if I take my part with thanks: why am I evil spoken of for that thing wherefore I give thanks?

Wherefore I desire you to follow me.

This I say of favour, not of commandment.

And upon those members of that body which we think least honest, put we most honesty on. And our ungoodly parts have most beauty on.

If any man's work, that he hath built upon, abide; he shall receive a reward.

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe: but to them that believe not. Contrariwise, prophesying serveth not for them that believe not: but for them which believe.

And ye swell and have not rather sorrowed, that he which hath done this deed might be put from among you.

that no flesh should rejoice in his presence.

and were all baptised under Moses in the cloud and in the sea:

But when we are judged of the Lord we are chastened, because we should not be damned with the world.

in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of the Lord Jesus Christ,

Ye know that ye were gentiles, and went your ways unto dumb idols, even as ye were led.

If any of them which believe not bid you to a feast, and if ye be disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

If therefore when all the congregation is come together, and all speak with tongues, there come in they that are unlearned, or they which believe not: will they not say that ye are out of your wits?

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all doers of miracles?

But and if any man say unto you, "This is dedicated unto idols," eat not of it, for his sake that showed it, and for hurting of conscience - the earth is the Lord's and all that therein is -

These are examples to us that we should not lust after evil things, as they lusted.

For I, verily, as absent in body, even so present in spirit, have determined already - as though I were present - of him that hath done this deed;

and labour working with our own hands. We are reviled, and yet we bless. We are persecuted, and suffer it.

If I be not an apostle unto others, yet am I unto you. For the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

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

If any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

God hath raised up the Lord, and shall raise us up by his power.

Brethren, be not children in wit. Howbeit, as concerning maliciousness be children: but in wit be perfect.

For it is written in the law of Moses, "Thou shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn." Doth God take thought for oxen?

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

If any man's work burn; he shall suffer loss. But he shall be safe himself, nevertheless yet as it were through fire.

And there are differences of administrations, and yet but one Lord.

Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed fornication, and were destroyed - in one day, twenty three thousand.

And though there be that are called "gods," whether in heaven or in earth - as there be "gods" many and "lords" many -

Some swell, as though I would come no more at you:

to another is given faith, by the same spirit; to another the gifts of healing, by the same spirit;

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

If any revelation be made to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

And there are divers manners of operations, and yet but one God, which worketh all things that are wrought in all creatures.

and did all eat of one spiritual meat,

But in many of them had God no delight. For they were overthrown in the wilderness.

I write not these things to shame you: but as my beloved sons, I warn you.

Either only I and Barnabas have not power this to do?

But and if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is rebuked of all men, and is judged of every man;

Who goeth a warfare any time at his own cost? Who planteth a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit? Or who feedeth a flock and eateth not of the milk?

I therefore so run, not as at an uncertain thing. So fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus, Amen. {The end of the First Epistle unto the Corinthians, Sent from Philippi, by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timothy.}

And this I do for the Gospel's sake, that I might have my part thereof.

If any man speak with tongues, let it be two at once - or at the most three at once - and that by course, and let another interpret it:

Yet had I rather, in the congregation, to speak five words with my mind to the information of others, rather than ten thousand words with the tongue.

Mine answer to them that ask me, is this:

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

Do ye not understand that he which coupleth himself with a harlot, is become one body? "For two," saith he, "shall be one flesh."

But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that there is an idol, until this hour, and eat as of a thing offered unto the idol, and so their consciences being yet weak are defiled.

Neither be ye worshippers of images as were some of them according as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up again to play."

All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with a holy kiss.

Meat maketh us not acceptable to God: Neither if we eat are we the better: Neither if we eat not are we the worse.

And again, "God knoweth the thoughts of the wise that they be vain."

But he that is spiritual discusseth all things: yet he himself is judged of no man.

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall 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.

I gave you milk to drink and not meat. For ye then were not strong - no, neither yet are strong.

but I will come to you shortly, if God will, and will know not the words of them which swell, but the power.

Say I these things after the manner of men? Or sayeth not the law the same also?

For the spirits of the prophets are in the power of the prophets.

Have we not power to eat and to drink?

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

Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours,

For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may have comfort.

but he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

For ye are yet carnal. As long verily as there is among you envying, strife and dissension: are ye not carnal, and walk after the manner of men?

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head, for the angels' sakes.

I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ,

For this cause many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, which is my dear son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my ways which I have in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in all congregations.

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

Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord.

For he that eateth or drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh his own damnation, because he maketh no difference of the Lord's body.

We are God's laborers: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

For he must reign till he have put all his enemies under his feet.

But thanks be unto God, which hath given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

and that in a moment, and in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shall rise incorruptible: And we shall be changed.

But some man will say, "How shall the dead arise? With what bodies come they in?

For by a man came death, and by a man came resurrection of the dead.

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

But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews, an occasion of falling; and unto the Greeks, foolishness.

"Death where is thy sting? Hell where is thy victory?"

and did all drink of one manner of spiritual drink. And they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, Which rock was Christ.

For the Kingdom of God is not in words, but in power.

But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace which is in me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

To one is given, through the spirit, the utterance of wisdom; to another is given the utterance of knowledge by the same spirit;

Either, else what do they which are baptised over the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptised over the dead?

By our rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

In that I preach the gospel, I have nothing to rejoice of. For necessity is put unto me. Woe is it unto me if I preach not the gospel.

To the weak became I as weak, to win the weak. In all thing I fashioned myself to all men, to save, at the leastway, some.

If we had truly judged ourselves, we should not have been judged.

When this corruptible hath put on incorruptibility: and this mortal hath put on immortality: then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is consumed into victory."

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but all things edify not.

"For who knoweth the mind of the Lord, other who shall inform him?" But we understand the mind of Christ.

I know nought by myself: yet am I not thereby justified. It is the Lord that judgeth me.

by the which also ye are saved - I do you to know, after what manner I preached unto you - if ye keep it, except ye have believed in vain.

but we speak the wisdom of God, which is in secret and lieth hid, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

and that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scriptures,

If the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn. If it be shame for a woman to be shaven or shorn, let her cover her head.

and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve.

Every man praying or prophesying having anything on his head, shameth his head.

With me is it but a very small thing, that I should be judged of you, either of man's day. No I judge not mine own self.

To speak of meat dedicated unto idols, we are sure that there is none idol in the world: and that there is none other God but one.

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

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,

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?

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

These things, brethren, I have described in mine own person, and Apollos, for your sakes - that ye might learn by us that no man count of himself beyond that which is above written: that one swell not against another for any man's cause.

so that ye are behind in no gift, and wait for the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ

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.

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.

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

And though I bestowed all my goods to feed the poor, and though I gave my body even that I burned, and yet had no love, it profiteth me nothing.

Covet after the best gifts. And yet show I unto you a more excellent way.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If it be so that Christ rose not, then is your faith in vain, and yet are ye in your sins.

If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, the same be anathema. Maranatha.

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.

Let no man seek his own profit: but let every man seek another's wealth.
