to the church of God which is at Corinth, the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called, holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours;

For this end I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved child, and faithful in the Lord, who will put you in mind of my ways in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every church.

If then ye have any causes relating to this life, set them to judge who are of no repute in the church.

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

For in the first place, when ye come together in assembly of the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it;

What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God, and shame those who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you.

God appointed some in the church to be, in the first place, apostles, in the second place, prophets, in the third place, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, those of helping and of governing, divers kinds of tongues. Are all apostles?

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

I would that ye all spoke with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied; for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, unless he interpret, that the church may receive edification.

So also ye, since ye are eager to possess spiritual gifts, be earnest to abound in them to the edification of the church.

yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might also instruct others, than ten thousand words in an [unknown] tongue.

If therefore the whole church be assembled in one place, and all be speaking with tongues, and there come in those who are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

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

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

The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca, with the church that is in their house, send you many salutations in the Lord.
