to the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called out with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved son and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

If, then, you truly have judgments of the things of this life, set those who are least esteemed in the church to judge.

Give no offense, either to the Jews, or to the Greeks or to the church of God;

For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.

For do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God, and shame those who do not have? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? I do not praise you!

But if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in a church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in a church.

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

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