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

Now this I observe, that one and another of you saith, I am indeed of Paul; but I of Apollos; but I of Cephas; but I am of Christ.

that no man might say, I baptised into my own name.

And I also baptised the household of Stephanus: besides these, I know not if I baptised any other person.

for since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

that no flesh should glory in his presence.

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

For who among men knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? so also the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are folly to him: and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But the spiritual man discerneth indeed all things, though himself is discernible by no man.

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but every one shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

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

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

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

Wherefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

Now ye are full, now ye have grown rich, ye have reigned without us: and I wish indeed that you may reign, that we also might reign together with you.

For even to this present hour we undergo hunger and thirst and nakedness, and are buffeted about, and have no settled abode;

Now I conjure you, be followers of me.

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not really come to you.

But I will come shortly unto you, if the Lord please, and will know, not the prating of them that are puffed up, but the power.

Your glorying is not good: know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass?

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, as ye are unleavened. For our passover hath been sacrificed for us, even Christ.

But now I have written unto you not to associate with him, if any man, professing to be a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such a one not even to eat.

Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to be judges in the smallest matters?

Know ye not that we shall judge angels, much more things pertaining to this life?

Now verily therefore there is altogether a fault among you, because ye have law-suits one with another. Why do ye not rather submit to the wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

Meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Taking then the members of Christ, shall I make them members of an harlot? God forbid.

Do you not know that he that is joined to an harlot is one body with her? For they two, saith he, shall be "one flesh."

Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?

NOW with regard to those things concerning which ye have written unto me, it were good for a man not to touch a woman.

For the husband that believeth not is sanctified by the wife, and the wife who believeth not is sanctified by the husband: else indeed your children were unclean, but now are they holy.

Art thou called being a slave? let it give thee no concern; but if thou canst also obtain thy freedom, rather make use of it.

Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I offer my opinion, as having obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

Now this I say, brethren, that the time is short. The conclusion is, that even they who have wives, should be as though they had not;

Now I say this for your own advantage, and not that I should lay a snare in your way, but as what is seemly, and that you may wait on the Lord without distraction.

NOW concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.

But if any man conceit that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

Now concerning eating things sacrificed unto idols: we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

Wherefore if meat give occasion of offence to my brother, I will in no wise eat meat for ever, that I give no cause of offence to my brother.

Know ye not that they who are employed about the holy things, are fed from the temple? and they who serve at the altar, partake with the altar?

What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel, I may put the gospel of Christ to no expence, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

Know ye not that they who run on the course, all run indeed, yet but one obtaineth the price? So run, that ye may obtain.

Now these things were examples for us, that we might not be coveters of evil things, as they also coveted.

Now all these things happened unto them as examples, but they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come.

No temptation hath overtaken you, but what is common to men. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to bear; but will with the temptation make also a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear up under it.

Let no man seek his own gratification, but every one another's good.

Every thing which is sold in the shambles eat, asking no question for conscience sake;

And if any one of those, who do not believe, invite you, and ye incline to go, eat every thing set before you, asking no question for conscience sake.

Give no occasion of stumbling either to the Jews or the Gentiles, or the church of God:

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the injunctions as I delivered them unto you.

But if any man mean to be contentious about it, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God.

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

NOW concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn away after the idols that are dumb, even as ye have been led.

Wherefore I advertise you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, call Jesus anathema: and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.

Now to every one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for usefulness.

But now hath God placed the members, every one of them in the body, as he hath chosen.

But now the members indeed are many, but the body one.

Nor can the eye say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered together the body, giving more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

that there might be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all manner of science; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Love is long-suffering, is kind; love envieth not; love is no vain boaster, is not inflated [with pride],

doth not act unseemly, seeketh not her own advantage, is not passionate, thinketh no evil;

Love never faileth: but if there be prophetic gifts, they shall be no more; if tongues, they shall cease; if science, it shall vanish away.

For we know partially, and prophesy partially.

For now we see by reflected light, indistinctly; but then face to face: now I know partially; but then shall I know even as I am known.

But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greater of these is love.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no man understandeth him; although in spirit he speaketh mysterious truths.

Now I could wish that you all spake with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: for greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret also, that the church may receive edification.

Now I, brethren, if I should come unto you, speaking in unknown languages, what should I profit you, unless I should speak to you [intelligibly] by revelation, or by science, or by prophecy, or by doctrine?

If therefore I know not the force of the expression, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me.

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my mind produces no fruit.

NOW I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I have preached unto you, and which ye have received, in which also ye have stood fast;

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

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither is Christ risen:

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

Else what will they do who are baptised? for the dead, if wholly dead they rise no more. Why are they then baptised for the dead?

NOW concerning the collection which is for the saints, as I have given an order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

On the first day of the week let every one of you set apart with himself, treasuring it up, whatsoever he may please to give, that when I come there may be then no gatherings.

Now I will come unto you when I have passed through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia);

For I will not see you now in passing, but I hope to remain some considerable time with you if the Lord permit.

Let no man therefore treat him with disrespect; but forward him on his way in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

Now I exhort you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints:)
