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:

For this same thing I 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 Jesus, as I teach everywhere in every church.

Then if indeed you have judgments appertaining to this life, do you sit those down who are little esteemed in the church?

Be ye without offence, both to Jews, and to Greeks, and to the church 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.

The one speaking with a tongue edifies himself; but the one prophesying edifies the church.

But I wish you all to speak with tongues, but rather that you may prophesy: but greater is the one prophesying, than the one speaking with tongues, unless he may interpret, in order that the church may receive edification.

So also you, since you are zealots of spirits, seek that you may abound unto the edification of the church.

but I would rather speak five words in the church with my understanding, so that I may indeed teach others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Then if the whole church may come together, and all may speak with tongues, and the unlearned or unbelievers may come in, will they not say that you are gone mad?

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

But if they wish to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is disgraceful for a woman to talk in church.

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

The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca along with the church and their house salute you.
