But being judged, we are corrected by the Lord, that we might not be condemned with the world.

Therefore, my Brothers, when you meet together to eat the Supper, wait for one another.

and if any one is press'd with hunger, let him eat at home; that ye may not otherwise meet with punishment. as for other matters, I will set them in order when I come.

Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might led.

For [just] as the human body is one [unit], made up of many parts, and all the many parts make up a single body, so it is with Christ. [Note: Just as a human body is a single unit, and Christ is a single being, so the members of His body, the church, constitute one body. See verses 27-28].

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

For the human body is not made up of [only] one part, but of many parts.

If, however, they all made up only one part, where would the body be?

that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.

And whether one member suffer, all the members might suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members might rejoice with it.

And if I have the [spiritual] gift of prophecy, and can understand all [of God's] secret purposes, and have all knowledge; and if I have all [the supernatural] faith necessary to relocate mountains [See Matt. 17:20], but do not have love [for people], I am nothing.

Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;

Pursue love, and be emulous of spiritual things, and rather that ye might prophesy.

Now I wish that all of you spoke in unknown tongues, but even more [I wish] that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater [and more useful] than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he translates or explains [what he says], so that the church may be edified [instructed, improved, strengthened].

So it is with you; unless in your ecstatic speaking you speak a message that is clearly intelligible, how can the message spoken by you be understood? You might just as well be talking to the air!

Wherefore he speaking in a tongue, let, him pray that he might interpret.

Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

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.

What then is the right course, believers? When you meet together, each one has a psalm, a teaching, a revelation (disclosure of special knowledge), a tongue, or an interpretation. Let everything be constructive and edifying and done for the good of all the church.

But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.

For ye are all able to prophesy one by one, that all might learn, and all might be encouraged.

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

But, by favour of God, I am what I am, and, his favour, which was unto me, hath not been made void, - but, much more abundantly than they all, have I toiled, albeit not, I, but the favour of God with me.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

then -- the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power --

The last enemy made to cease is death.

But when the whole universe has been made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also become subject to Him who has made the universe subject to Him, in order that GOD may be all in all.

You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

the first man out of the earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.

Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly one, such also the heavenly ones.

And as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one.

For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.

With regard to the collection for the saints, you must carry out the same arrangements as I made for the churches of Galatia.

Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

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

And perhaps with you I shall abide, or also pass the winter, that ye might send me forward wherever I go.

Therefore no one should despise him: and send ye him forward in peace, that he might come to me: for I expect him with the brethren.

Now I make my request to you, my brothers, for you have knowledge that the house of Stephanas is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have made themselves the servants of the saints,

I rejoice because Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.

If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be made a curse.
