and every man in his own order: The first is Christ, then they that are Christ's at his coming.

Unto the congregation of God which is at Corinth. To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ, saints by calling, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both of theirs and of ours.

For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should have been made of none effect.

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

We are fools for Christ's sake, and ye are wise through Christ: we are weak, and ye are strong. Ye are honorable, and we are despised.

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ: yet have ye not many fathers. 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 the Lord Jesus Christ,

Either, remember ye not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I now take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid.

Is not the cup of blessing which we bless, partaking of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break, partaking of the body of Christ?

I would ye knew that Christ is the head of every man; and the man is the woman's head; and God is Christ's head.

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.}
