so that you are deficient in no gift, while waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you, but that you be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

that no one may say that I immersed into my own name.

I did, in deed, immerse the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I immersed any other.

For, since in the wisdom of God, the world, by its wisdom, knew not God, it has pleased God, through the foolishness of what is preached, to save those who believe.

that no flesh should glory in his presence.

For I determined not to know any thing among you but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

which none of the rulers of this age knew; for, had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.

For what man knows the things of man, but the spirit of man which is in him? Even so, the things of God no one knows, but the Spirit of God.

And we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God:

But an animal man receives not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he can not know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But the spiritual man discerns all things; yet he himself is discerned by no one.

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not then able to bear it; indeed, not even now are you able;

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

Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

Let no one deceive himself: if any one among you is considered as wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

Therefore, let no one glory in men; for all things are yours,

Now it is required in stewards, that each one be found faithful.

For, though I am conscious of no wrong, yet by this I am not justified: but he that judges me is the Lord.

And these things, brethren, I have, in figure, applied to my self and Apollos, for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think more of teachers than what has been written; and that no one of you be vain of one to the injury of another.

Now, some have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you;

but I will come to you quickly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the speech of those who have become arrogant, but the power.

Your boasting is not good; know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole mass?

Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new mass, as you are without leaven; for Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed for us.

but now I write to you, not to associate with any one professing to be a brother, if he is lewd or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one not even to eat.

Know you not that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy to decide concerning the smallest matters?

Know you not that we shall judge angels? Much more then, things pertaining to this life.

Now, certainly, you are altogether in fault, that you have law-suits with one another. Why do you not rather suffer injustice? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither lewd persons, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites,

Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I, then, take the members of the Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? It must not be.

Know you not that he that is joined to a harlot, is one body? For the two, says the scripture, shall be one flesh.

Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?

Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; for if not, then are your children unclean; but now they are holy.

For how do you know, wife, but that you may save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, but that you may save your wife?

But with respect to virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment as one that is enabled, by the mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.

Now, this I say, brethren, the time is fraught with trials. It remains that those who have wives be as though they had them not;

But he that stands firm in his purpose, having no necessity to give his daughter in marriage, but has liberty with respect to his own will, and has thus decided in his own heart, that he will keep his daughter a virgin, does well.

Now, with respect to meats offered to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up with pride, but love edifies.

If any one thinks that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet, as he ought to know it:

With respect, then, to the eating of meats offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

Or, have I only, and Barnabas, no right to leave off working?

or does he say it wholly for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, it was written: that he that plows should plow in hope, and that he that thrashes should thrash in hope of partaking.

Do you not know that those who are engaged about sacred rites have their living from the temple? and that those who attend upon the altar are partakers with the altar?

For though I preach the gospel, I have no cause for boasting; for a necessity is laid upon me; yes, alas for me, if I preach not the gospel.

Know you not that all the runners in the race-course run the race, but that one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain the prize.

Now, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and that all passed through the sea,

Now these things took place as examples for us, that we should not desire evil things, as they, also, desired.

Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they are written for the instruction of us, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

No trial has come upon you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried more than you are able to bear; but he will, with the trial, make a way to escape, so that you be able to bear up under it.

Let no one seek his own, but each the welfare of the other.

Any thing that is sold in the market, eat, asking no questions on account of conscience:

If any one of the unbelievers invites you to a feast, and you are disposed to go, eat any thing that is set before you, asking no questions for conscience sake.

Give no occasion for stumbling, either to the Jews, or to the Greeks, or to the church of God;

Now, I praise you, brethren, because you remember me in all things, and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you.

But I wish you to know, that the head of every man is the Christ, and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

For if a woman has no vail on, let her also be shaved. But if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her have a vail.

But if any one seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God.

But I praise you not in this, which I now mention, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse.

In like manner also, the cup, after he had supped, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to those dumb idols, as you might be led.

For this reason, I make known to you, that no one, speaking by the Spirit of God, calls Jesus accursed: and no one can say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit;

If the foot shall say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body?

And if the ear shall say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body?

But now God has placed the members, each of them, in the body, as it has pleased him.

But now there are many members, but one body.

The eye can not say to the hand: I have no need of you; or again, the head to the feet: I have no need of you.

for our comely members have no need. But God has so arranged the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which is deficient,

that there may be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same anxious care, one for another;

Now, you are the body of Christ, and, as individuals, you are members.

does nothing unbecoming, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil,

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

Now we see through a mirror, obscurely; but then, face to face; now I know in part, but then shall I know, even as I am known.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the great est of these is love.

For he that speaks in an unknown tongue, speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands him: but yet in spirit he speaks mysteries.

Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, in what will I profit you, unless I speak to you by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecy, or by teaching?

If, then, I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian; and he that speaks will be a barbarian to me.

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

But now, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who slept.

Therefore, my be loved brethren, be firm, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; for you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

On the first day of the week, let each of you lay by him, and treasure up as he has prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

Now I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia, for I intend to go through Macedonia;

FOE I do not wish to see you now in passing; for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permit.

Therefore, let no one despise him; but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I look for him with the brethren.

As it respects Apollos my brother, I urged him much to go to you with the brethren, yet he was not at all inclined to go now; but he will go when he has a suitable time.

I beseech you, brethren, (you know the house of Stephanas, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
