and ye are Christs, and Christ is Gods.

We are fools for Christs sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are in honor, but we are despised.

For he that was called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lords freeman. In like manner the freeman, who is called, is Christs slave.

But every one in his own order; Christ the firstfruits, afterward they that are Christs, at his coming.

For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.

For, through his wife, the husband who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ's People; and the wife who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ's People through our Brother whom she has married. Otherwise your children would be 'defiled,' but, as it is, they belong to Christ's People.

to the church of God at Corinth, to those who are consecrated by union with Christ Jesus, and called to be God's people, in fellowship with those who anywhere call upon the name of Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Do you not know that your bodies are parts of Christ Himself? Then may I take away parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute? Never! Never!

Is not the consecrated cup which we consecrate a sign of our sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the loaf which we break a sign of our sharing in the body of Christ?

But I want you to realize the fact that Christ is the Head of every man, that the husband is the head of the wife, and that God is the Head of Christ.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my son beloved and faithful in Christ, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ Jesus, as I teach every where in every church.

for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ.

You were bought with a price [a precious price paid by Christ]; do not become slaves to men [but to Christ].

and I of Christ." is the school of Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

To the Church of God in Corinth, to those who have been consecrated by union with Christ Jesus and called to become his People, and also to all, wherever they may be, who invoke the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ-their Master and ours,

But you, by your union with Christ Jesus, belong to God; and Christ, by God's will, became not only our Wisdom, but also our Righteousness, Holiness, and Deliverance,

Such some of you used to be; but you washed yourselves clean. You became Christ's People! you were pronounced righteous through the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God!

Therefore the gift of the 'tongues' is intended as a sign, not for those who believe in Christ, but for those who do not, while the gift of preaching is intended as a sign, not for those who do not believe in Christ, but for those who do.

waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will also confirm you to the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of the Lord Jesus Christ.

For God has placed all things under Christ's feet. (But, when it is said that all things have been placed under Christ, it is plain that God is excepted who placed everything under him.)

and drank the same spiritual drink [i.e., water coming from a rock supernaturally. See Ex. 17:6]. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ. [Note: Besides actual water, they were refreshed from the spiritual presence of Christ].

For [just] as the human body is one [unit], made up of many parts, and all the many parts make up a single body, so it is with Christ. [Note: Just as a human body is a single unit, and Christ is a single being, so the members of His body, the church, constitute one body. See verses 27-28].

For Christ must [continue to] rule [over His kingdom, the church] until God has put all of His enemies under Christ's feet.

And after everything [else] has been subjected to Christ, then the Son Himself will also be subjected [i.e., He will subject Himself] to God, who subjected everything to Christ, so that God may rule over everything.

Ye are the body of Christ, and members one of another.

For first of all, I delivered unto you that which I received: how that Christ died for our sins, agreeing to the scriptures,

If Christ be preached, how that he rose from the dead: how say some that are among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?

If there be no rising again of the dead: then is Christ not risen.

If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also in vain.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God. For we have testified of God how that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up, if it be so that the dead rise not up again.

For if the dead rise not again, then is Christ not risen again.

If it be so that Christ rose not, then is your faith in vain, and yet are ye in your sins.

And thereto, they which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

If in this life only we believe on Christ, then are we, of all men, the miserablest.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and is become the first fruits of them that slept.

For as by Adam all die; even so by Christ, shall all be made alive,

By our rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

But thanks be unto God, which hath given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, the same be anathema. Maranatha.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus, Amen. {The end of the First Epistle unto the Corinthians, Sent from Philippi, by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timothy.}
