Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

So that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, by whom you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

But unto them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

And of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

For no other foundation can a man lay than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honorable, but we are despised.

For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have you not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

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

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid.

For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

And through your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

But when you sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not you my work in the Lord?

If others be partakers of this right over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this right; but endure all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my right in the gospel.

To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Neither let us test Christ, as some of them also tested him, and were destroyed by serpents.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

Be followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.

Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

I protest by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
