Unto the congregation of God which is at Corinth. To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ, saints by calling, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both of theirs and of ours.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, which is my dear son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my ways which I have in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in all congregations.

If ye have judgments of worldly matters, take them which are despised in the congregation, and make them judges.

But even as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every person, so let him walk: and so ordain I in all congregations.

See that ye give none occasion of evil: neither to the Jews, nor yet to the gentiles, neither to the congregation of God.

If there be any man among you that lusteth to strife, let him know that we have no such customs, neither the congregations of God.

First of all, when ye come together in the congregation, I hear that there is dissension among you: And I partly believe it.

Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or else despise ye the congregation of God? And shame them that have not? What shall I say unto you? Shall I praise you? In this praise I you not.

The gifts of the spirit are given to every man to profit the congregation.

And God hath also ordained in the congregation, first the apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, then them that do miracles; after that, the gifts of healing, helpers, governors, diversity of tongues.

He that speaketh with tongues, profiteth himself: he that prophesieth, edifieth the congregation.

I would that ye all spake with tongues: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he expound it also, that the congregation may have edifying.

Even so ye - forasmuch as ye covet spiritual gifts - seek that ye may have plenty unto the edifying of the congregation.

Yet had I rather, in the congregation, to speak five words with my mind to the information of others, rather than ten thousand words with the tongue.

If therefore when all the congregation is come together, and all speak with tongues, there come in they that are unlearned, or they which believe not: will they not say that ye are out of your wits?

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

For God is not causer of strife: but of peace, as he is in all other congregations of the saints.

Let your wives keep silence in the congregations. For it is not permitted unto them to speak: but let them be under obedience, as saith the law.

If they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for women to speak in the congregation.

For I am the least of all the apostles, which am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God:

Of the gathering for the saints, as I have ordained in the congregations of Galatia, even so do ye.

The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, and so doeth the congregation that is in their house.
