Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth,

grace and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.

I always give thanks unto my God, on your account, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus; that ye are enriched by Him with every gift,

for God is faithful by whom ye were called into the communion of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.

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

For the doctrine of the cross is to them, that perish, foolishness: but to us, who are saved, it is the power of God.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputant of the age? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For, since in the wisdom of God the world by it's wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by what they called the folly of preaching to save those that believe.

both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God, as they call it, is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

but God hath chosen things that are foolish in the eye of the world to put it's wise men to confusion; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty;

and things in the opinion of the world ignoble, and despicable, and accounted as nothing, hath God chosen, to abolish things that are in esteem among men;

But ye are of Him in Christ Jesus, who from God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

And I, when I came among you, brethren, came not with excellency of language, or of human wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God:

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

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, that hidden wisdom which God ordained before the worlds for our glory:

But as it is written, "Eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for those that love Him."

But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep things of God.

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

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit of God; that we might know the things that are graciously bestowed upon us by God:

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

I have planted, Apollos watered: but God gave the increase.

So that neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth, but God that giveth the increase.

For we are fellow-laborers, the servants of God: and ye are the husbandry of God, ye are the building of God.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise architect I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon: but let every one see to it how he buildeth thereon.

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

If any one destroy the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, and this temple are ye.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, "He taketh the wise in their own craftiness:"

and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Let a man so account of us, as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Wherefore judge nothing before the time; even until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every one have praise from God.

For it seems to me that God hath as it were exhibited us the apostles last upon the stage as appointed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels and to men.

for the kingdom of God consisteth not in speech, but in power.

of our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your boasting is not good.

But those who are without, God judgeth: and therefore put away the wicked one from among you.

What! know ye 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,

nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor rapacious persons, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God.

meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats, but God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

And as God hath raised up the Lord, so will He raise up us by his power.

God forbid! What! know ye not that he who is joined to an harlot is one body with her? for these two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

What! know ye not 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, for ye are bought with a price. Glorify God therefore in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Now as to the things concerning which ye wrote to me: it were good for a man not to touch a woman.

for I could wish that all men were as I myself am; but every man hath his proper gift from God, one of one kind and another of another?

Now to the unmarried and widows I say, it is good for them to continue so, as I do.

But God hath called us to peace; for how knowest thou, O wife, but thou shalt save thy husband; or how knowest thou, O husband, but thou shalt save thy wife?

However, as God hath distributed to every man, and as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk: and thus I order in all the churches.

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

Brethren, in whatever condition every one was when called, let him abide therein with God.

but she is happier, in my opinion, if she continue as she is: and I think I have the Spirit of God.

But if any man love God, he is owned by Him.

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

and lords many,) yet to us there is but one God the Father, from whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him.

But meat does not recommend us to God; for neither, if we eat, are we the better; nor the worse, if we eat not.

or saith not the law the same also? for it is written in the law of Moses, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn." Now doth God take care for oxen,

and to those without the law as without the law, (not being without law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain those who are without the law.

But with the greater part of them God was displeased: for they were destroyed in the wilderness.

No temptation has yet taken you but what is common to man: and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to sustain; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

No: but this I say, that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Behave inoffensively both to the Jews, and to the Greeks, and to the church of God.

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

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, he being the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For as the woman was originally from the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things are from God.

Judge in yourselves, Is it decent for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

But if any one is pleased to contend for the contrary, I answer, We have no such custom, nor any of the churches of God.

What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or do ye despise the church of God, and shame those that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

I must acquaint you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus a curse: and no one can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the holy Ghost.

but it is the same God who worketh them all in every one.

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

But God hath so blended the several parts of the body, giving greater honor to that which was deficient,

And God hath placed you accordingly in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miraculous powers, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, and various kinds of tongues.

For he, that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no one understandeth, though in spirit he speaketh mysteries.

I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all.

And thus the secrets of his heart are made manifest; so that falling down upon his face he will worship God, declaring that God is indeed among you.

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

for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as we see in all the assemblies of the saints.

Did the word of God come out first from you? or did it come to you only?

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 favor to me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses concerning God, for we have testified of God, that He raised up Christ; whom He did not raise up, if indeed the dead do not rise.

Then will be the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God even the Father; when He shall have abolished all rule, and all authority, and power.

And when all things shall be subjected to Him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to Him, that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

Be not deceived, bad conversations corrupt good morals.

Behave soberly, as ye ought to do, and sin not: for some of you have not the knowledge of God; to your shame I speak it.

and God giveth it a body as He pleaseth, and to every one of the seeds it's own body.

But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor doth what is corruptible inherit incorruption.

but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
