to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?

Give no occasions for stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;

For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.

What, don't you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God's assembly, and put them to shame who don't have? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don't praise you.

God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?

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

If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the assembly.

For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.
