Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

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.

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

I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God given you in Jesus Christ,

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you;

so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

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

But I exhort you, brothers, 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.

But I say this, 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 did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness.

But to them, the called-out ones, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to 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, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual ones, but as to fleshly, as to babes in Christ.

For any other foundation can no one lay than the one being laid, who is Jesus Christ.

and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

So let a man think of us as 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 you do not have many fathers; for I have begotten you in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

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.

in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, with my spirit; also, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Therefore purge out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.

Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? Let it not be!

For he who is called a slave in the Lord is a freed man of the Lord. And likewise, he who is called a free man is a slave of Christ.

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

And on your knowledge the weak brother will fall, he for whom Christ died.

And sinning in this way against your brothers, and wounding their conscience, being weak, you sin against Christ.

Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

If others have a share of this authority over you, rather should not we? But we have not used this authority, but we endured all things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

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

To those who are outside Law, I became as outside Law (not being outside law to God, but under the Law to Christ), so that I might gain those who are outside Law.

and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted 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 imitators 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.

And you are the body of Christ, and members in part.

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

But if Christ is proclaimed, that He was raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

And if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is worthless, and your faith is also worthless.

And we are also found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised Christ; whom He did not raise if the dead are not raised.

For if the dead are not raised, then Christ is not raised.

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

Then also those that fell asleep in Christ were lost.

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

But now Christ has risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruit of those who slept.

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

But each in his own order: Christ the first-fruit, and afterward they who are Christ's at His coming;

Day by day I die, by your rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes!

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Let my love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
