Paul, called an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes,

to the church of God being in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, along with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I give thanks to my God always in your behalf, for the grace of God given unto you in Christ Jesus;

God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;

For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those who are saved it is the power of God.

Where is the wise man? where is the scribe? where is the investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness?

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

but to you who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong;

and God has chosen the base-born of the world, and those of no reputation, the things which are not, that He may set at nought the things which are,

in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

And I, brethren, having come unto you, came not in the excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming unto you the testimony of God.

in order that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

but we speak the wisdom of God having been hidden in a mystery, which God predestinated before the ages unto our glory:

But, as has been written, the things which eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and has not entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

But God has revealed them to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

For who of men knows the things of man, except the spirit of the man which is in him? so indeed 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 who is from God; in order that we may know the things which have been graciously given unto us from God.

But the intellectual man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

So neither is the one planting, nor the one watering anything, but God the one giving the increase.

For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's farm; ye are God's building.

According to the grace of God which was given unto me, I as a wise architect, laid the foundation; and another builds on it. Let each one take heed how he builds.

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

If any one destroys the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

All things are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

So let a man consider us, as ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

So judge nothing before the time, until the Lord may come, who will also bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then praise shall be to each one from God.

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles the last, as exposed to death: that we may become a theater to the world, and to angels, and to men.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

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

For why is it for me to judge the outsiders? Do you not judge those within? But God will judge those without.

Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? He not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor Sodomites,

nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor scolds, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but you have washed, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God.

Meats for the stomach, and the stomach for meats: but God will destroy both this and them. The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

but God both raised up the Lord, and will raise you up through his power.

Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? and you are not your own;

for you have been bought with a price: indeed glorify God in your body.

But concerning those things about which you wrote to me: That it is good for a man not to receive a wife:

But I wish that all men were even as myself; but each one has his own gift from God, some one, and some another.

But I speak to the unmarried and the widows, that it is good for them that they may remain even as I:

But if the unbeliever departs, let him or her depart; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. God has called you in peace.

If not as the Lord has imparted to each one, and as God has called each one, so let him or her walk. And thus I command in all the churches.

Is one called having been circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has one been called in uncircumcision? let him not get circumcised.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

But I consider this to be good on account of the present distress, that it is good for a man so to be.

But she is happier if she may so remain, according to my opinion: but I realize that I truly have the Spirit of God.

but if any one loves God he is known of him.

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

but there is to us one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we in him.

But meat will not commend us to God; neither if we eat are we the better; nor if we eat not are we the worse.

For in the law of Moses it has been written, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that plows. Is there a care to God for oxen,

But I have used none of these things. But I have not written these things that it may be so in me: for it is good for me rather to die than that any one shall make void my boasting.

to those without law, I became as without law, not being without the law of God, but under the law of Christ, that I may gain those without law.

But with many of them God is not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

No temptation has overtaken you, except that which is human: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the temptation, He will also make a way of escape, in order that you may be able to bear it.

But those things which they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. But I do not wish you to be the communicants of demons.

Then whether you eat, or whether you drink, or what you do, do all things to the glory of God.

Be ye without offence, both to Jews, and to Greeks, and to the church of God:

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

For a man ought not to cover his head, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

For as the woman is from the man, so the man also is by the woman; and all things from God.

Judge ye among yourselves: is it becoming for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

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

For have you not houses in which to eat and to drink? or do you cast contempt on the church of God, and shame those not having? What do I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

For the one speaking with a tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no one hears him; but he speaks mysteries in the spirit:

I thank God, I speak with tongue more than you all:

the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and thus falling upon his face he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly in you.

but if there may be no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church; but let him speak to himself, and to God.

for he is not a God of confusion, but of peace. So in all the churches of the saints,

Whether did the word of God come out from you? or has it reached unto you alone?

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

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace was not vain toward me; but I have labored more abundantly than they all: and not I, but the grace of God with me.

And we are indeed found false witnesses of God; because we testified according to God that he raised Christ: whom he did not raise, if then the dead rise not.

then the end, when he may deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he may destroy all government, all authority and power.

But when he may subordinate all things to him, then the Son himself will also be subordinated to him who hath subordinated all things to Himself, in order that God may be all things in all.

Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak to your shame.

but God gives it a body as he wished; and to each of the seeds its own body.

But I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

But thanks be unto God, who gives us our victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
