And I, [when I] came to you, brothers, did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come, all [things] [are] yours,

Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord should come, who will both enlighten the hidden things of darkness and will reveal the counsels of hearts, and then praise will come to each one from God.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

Now these [things] happened to those [people] as an example, but are written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

Temptation has not come upon you except [what is] common to humanity. But God [is] faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will also make a way out together with the temptation, [so that you] may be able to endure [it].

But in giving this instruction I do not praise [you], because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

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.

Therefore, [when] you come together in the same [place], it is not to eat the Lord's supper.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

So then, my brothers, [when you] come together in order to eat [the Lord's supper], wait for one another.

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And I will give directions about the remaining [matters] whenever I come.

and [the parts] of the body which we think to be less honorable, these we clothe with more abundant honor, and our unpresentable [parts] come to have more abundant presentability,

but whenever the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, how do I benefit you, unless I speak to you either with a revelation or with knowledge or with a prophecy or with a teaching?

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?

{Therefore what should you do}, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. All [things] must be [done] for edification.

Or has the word of God gone out from you, or has it come to you only?

But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what sort of body do they come?"

Foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

On the first [day] of the week, each one of you {put aside} [something], saving up {to whatever extent he has prospered}, in order that whenever I come, at that time collections do not take place.

But I will come to you whenever I go through Macedonia (for I am going through Macedonia),

But if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to fear, for he is carrying out the Lord's work, as I also [am].

Therefore do not let anyone disdain him, but send him [on his way] in peace in order that he may come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.

Now concerning Apollos our brother, I urged him many [times] that he should come to you with the brothers, and he was not at all willing that he should come now, but he will come whenever he has [an] opportunity.

If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!
