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

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:

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

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

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

who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Now I beg you, brothers, through 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 together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News -- not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn't be made void.

but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,

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

But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

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

"For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?" But we have Christ's mind.

Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

So let a man think of us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.

We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.

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.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

Don't you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord's free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ's bondservant.

yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.

And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven't I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren't you my work in the Lord?

If others partake of this right over you, don't we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.

What then is my reward? That, when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.

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

and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

The cup of blessing which we bless, isn't it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn't it a sharing of the body of Christ?

Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

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.

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

Now if Christ is preached, that he has been 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.

If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.

Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn't raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

For if the dead aren't raised, neither has Christ been raised.

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.

I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

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

If any man doesn't love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Come, Lord!

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
