Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this point I do not praise.

For I received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

and having given thanks broke it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me.

For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.

For the eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.

So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.

If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.

But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.

For to one, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.

For also in the power of one Spirit we have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.

For also the body is not one member but many.

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

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part:

For we see now through a dim window obscurely, but then face to face; now I know partially, but then I shall know according as I also have been known.

For he that speaks with a tongue does not speak to men but to God: for no one hears; but in spirit he speaks mysteries.

For also, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for war?

Thus also ye with the tongue, unless ye give a distinct speech, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking to the air.

If therefore I do not know the power of the sound, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks a barbarian for me.

Thus ye also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly.

For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

So that tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to unbelievers; but prophecy, not to unbelievers, but to those who believe.

For ye can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all be encouraged.

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

Let your women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in assembly.

For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;

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

And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed those that are dead are not raised.

For if those that are dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;

For since by man came death, by man also resurrection of those that are dead.

For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.

For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.

For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, it is evident that it is except him who put all things in subjection to him.

Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if those that are dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?

If, to speak after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if those that are dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.

one the sun's glory, and another the moon's glory, and another the stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.

in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so do ye do also.

But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia.

For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit.

For a great door is opened to me and an effectual one, and the adversaries many.

Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, even as I.

Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service,)

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: own therefore such.
