to the church of God sanctified in Christ Jesus that is in Corinth, called [to be] saints, together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their [Lord] and ours.

Because of this, I have sent to you Timothy, who is my dear and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ Jesus, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

Therefore, if you have courts with regard to ordinary matters, do you seat these despised [people] in the church?

{Give no offense} both to Jews and to Greeks and to the church of God,

For in the first place, [when you] come together as a church, I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

For do you not have houses for eating and drinking? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who do not have [anything]? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise [you]!

and whom God has appointed in the church: first, apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.

The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

Now I want you all to speak with tongues, but even more that you may prophesy. The one who prophesies [is] greater than the one who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, in order that the church may receive edification.

In this way also you, since you are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek for the edification of the church, in order that you may abound.

but in the church I prefer to speak five words with my mind, in order that I may instruct other [people], than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Therefore, if the whole church comes together at the same [time] and all speak with tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds?

But if there is no interpreter, he must be silent in the church, but let him speak to himself and to God.

But if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

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

The churches of [the province of] Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you in the Lord many [times], together with the church in their house.
