so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

And I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides these, I do not know if I baptized any other.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom did not know God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

so that no flesh should glory in His presence.

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

which none of the rulers of this world knew (for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory).

For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of man within him? So also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit from God, so that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged by no one.

I have fed you with milk and not with solid food, for you were not yet able to bear it; nor are you able even now.

For any other foundation can no one lay than the one being laid, who is Jesus Christ.

Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool so that he may be wise.

Therefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours,

for I know nothing by myself. Yet I have not been justified by this, but He who judges me is the Lord.

And these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that you might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, so that no one of you may be puffed up against one another.

Even until this present hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are buffeted and have no certain dwelling place.

being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

As to my not coming to you now, some are puffed up.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills. And I will not know the speech of those who are puffed up, but the power.

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

Therefore purge out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.

But now I have written to you not to associate intimately, if any man called a brother and is either a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

Do you not know that we shall judge angels, not to mention the things of this life?

Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals,

Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? Let it not be!

Or do you not know that he being joined to a harlot is one body? For He says, The two shall be one flesh.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have of God? And you are not your own,

Now concerning what 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; else your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

For what do you know, O wife, whether you shall save your husband? Or what do you know, O man, whether you shall save your wife?

But concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord. Yet I give my judgment, as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but who has authority over his own will (and has so judged in his heart that he will keep his virginity) he does well.

But concerning the sacrifices to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

And if any man thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

Then concerning the eating of the things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one.

But this knowledge is not in all. But some being aware of the idol eat as an idolatrous sacrifice until now, and their conscience being weak is defiled.

Therefore, if food offends my brother, I will eat no flesh forever, that I do not offend my brother.

Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no authority whether not to work?

Do you not know that those who minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? And those attending the altar are partakers with the altar.

For though I preach the gospel, no glory is to me. For necessity is laid on me; yea, woe is to me if I do not preach the gospel!

Do you not know that those running in a race all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.

No temptation has taken you but what is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the temptation also will make a way to escape, so that you may be able to bear it.

Let no one seek his own, but each one another's.

Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no question for conscience' sake;

If any of those who do not believe invite you to a feast, and if you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for conscience' sake.

Give no offense, either to the Jews, or to the Greeks or to the church of God;

But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

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

In the same way He took the cup also, after supping, saying, "This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; as often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of Me."

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I would not have you ignorant.

You know that being led away, you nations were led to dumb idols.

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says Jesus is a curse, and that no one can say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as it has pleased Him.

But now indeed many are the members, yet only one body.

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

For our presentable members have no need, but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to the member having need;

does not behave indecently, does not seek her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil.

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

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall fully know even as I also am fully known.

And now faith, hope, charity, these three remain; but the greatest of these is charity.

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. For no one hears, but in spirit he speaks mysteries.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you, except I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?

Therefore if I do not know the power of the sound, I will be a foreigner to him speaking, and he speaking will be a foreigner to me.

Else, if you bless in the spirit, he occupying the place of the unlearned, how will he say the amen at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you say?

But if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in a church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

But if Christ is proclaimed, that He was raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

But now Christ has risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruit of those who slept.

On the first of the sabbaths let each of you put by himself, storing up what ever he is prospered, so that there may be no collections when I come.

For I do not desire to see you now in passage, but I am hoping to stay some time with you, if the Lord permits.

As regards our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not altogether his will that he come now. But he will come when he has opportunity.

But I exhort you, brothers. You know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they appointed themselves to ministry to the saints.
