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

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 perfected in the same mind and the same will.

that no one may say that I baptized in my name.

And I also baptized the family of Stephanus; besides I do not know that I baptized any other.

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased by the foolishness of preaching to save those that believe;

that no flesh may glory in the sight of God.

For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

which none of the rulers of this life knew, for if they had known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

For who knows the [things] of man, except the spirit of man which is in him? So also no one knows the [things] of God except the Spirit of God.

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

But the natural man receives not the [things] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them, for they are spiritually discerned.

But the spiritual man discerns all things, and is himself perceived by no one.

I have fed you milk, not solid food; for you were not yet able; but you are not able even now;

For no one can lay another foundation besides that laid, which is Christ Jesus.

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

Let no one deceive himself; if any one seems to be wise among you in this life, let him be a fool, that he may be wise.

Let no one therefore glory in men; for all things are yours,

being defamed we entreat; we are made like the offscouring of the world and the vilest of all things, even till now.

but I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know not the word of those who are puffed up but the power;

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

Remove the old leaven, that you may be a new mass, as you are unleavened; for Christ our passover was also sacrificed for us.

But now I have written to you not to associate, if any one called a brother is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, even to eat with such a one.

Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of the lowest courts?

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

I speak to your shame. Is there not now a wise man among you? not one who can judge between his brothers?

Now therefore there is a great fault among you, that you go to law one with another. Why not rather suffer injustice? why not rather be defrauded?

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

Know you not that your bodies are Christ's members? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them a harlot's members? by no means.

Know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body [with her]? For the two, says he, shall be one flesh.

Know you not that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit in you which you have from God, and you are not your own?

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother; else were your children impure, but now are they holy.

For how do you know, wife, that you will not save your husband? or how do you know, husband, that you will not save your wife?

And concerning the virgins I have no ordinance of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one that has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

And if any one thinks he knows any thing, he yet knows nothing as he ought to know;

Concerning eating things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

But all have not this knowledge; and some with the conscience [unenlightened] even till now eat an idol's [sacrifice] as an idol's sacrifice, and their conscience being weak is defiled.

Wherefore, if food offends my brother, I will eat no meat forever, that I may not offend my brother.

Know you not that those who perform sacred rites eat from the temple? Those who wait on the altar partake of the altar?

Know you not that those who run in the race all indeed run, but one takes the prize. So run that you may obtain.

For no trial has befallen you but what is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tried beyond what you are able, but with the trial will order the event, that you may be able to endure.

Let no one seek his own but the good of another.

Whatever is sold in the market eat, asking no questions for conscience' sake;

But if an unbeliever invites you and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for conscience' sake.

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

But if any one is disposed to be contentious, we have no such custom neither have the churches of God.

In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant [sealed] with my blood; this do, as often as you drink, in remembrance of me.

You know that when you were gentiles, you followed dumb idols as you were led.

I assure you, therefore, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus an accursed thing, and no one can call Jesus Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

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

But now there are many members, but one body.

The eye cannot 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 ones have no need. But God has commingled the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which was lacking,

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

And we know in part and we prophesy in part;

For now we see by a mirror darkly, but then we shall see face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully as I also am known.

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

For he that speaks with a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but in spirit he speaks mysteries;

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you by a revelation, or by a knowledge, or by a prophecy, or by a doctrine?

So of irrational objects making a sound, whether a flute or harp; if it makes no distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is played on the flute or harp?

There are perhaps as many kinds of voices in the world, and no one is without significance;

if therefore I do not know the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks will be a barbarian to me.

and if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

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

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, a first fruit of those that have slept.

On the first day of the week let each one of you lay aside by himself in store as God has prospered him, that there may be no collections made when I come.

For I do not wish now to see you by the way; for I hope to continue some time with you, if the Lord permits.

let no one therefore despise him. But send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I look for him with the brothers.

But concerning Apollos the brother, I have exhorted him much to come to you with the brothers; but he was entirely indisposed to come now, but he will come when he has a convenient time.

And I exhort you, brothers, know the family of Stephanas, for it is a first fruit of Achaia, and they devoted themselves to serving the saints;

and refreshed my spirit and yours. Know therefore such.
