to the church of God which is at Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, with all those who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both their's and our's:

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 what call have I to judge those who are without? Do not ye judge those who are within [the church]?

If then ye have disputes about the things of this life, do you seat those on the bench who are least esteemed in the church?

Give no occasion of stumbling either to the Jews or the Gentiles, or the church of God:

For in the first place, when ye assemble in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

What! have ye not houses to eat in and to drink? or despise ye the church of God, and make those ashamed who have none? What shall I say unto you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

And these also hath God placed in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, directors, different kinds of tongues.

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue, edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.

Now I could wish that you all spake with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: for greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret also, that the church may receive edification.

So also ye, if ye zealously affect spiritual gifts, seek that ye may abound in them for the edification of the church.

but in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

If then the whole church assemble together in the same place, and all speak different tongues, and there come in illiterate persons, or infidels, will they not say ye are mad?

But if there be not an interpreter, let him be silent in the church; but let him speak to himself and to God.

But if they will learn any thing, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

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

The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church which is in their house.
