Paul, called, sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

To the church of God being in Corinth, to the consecrated in Christ Jesus, to the Called holy ones, with all calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

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

I return thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God given you in Christ Jesus;

God faithful, by whom we were called to the communion of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to announce good news: not in wisdom of word, lest the cross of Christ be made void.

For truly the word of the cross to them perishing is foolishness; but to us saved it is the power of God.

Where the wise? where the scribe? where the seekers together of this life has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was contented by the foolishness of proclaiming to save them believing.

And to these the called, to both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and wisdom of God.

For the foolish thing of God is wiser than men; and the weak thing of God is stronger than men.

But the foolish things of the world, has God chosen that he might shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen that he might shame things strong;

And the ignoble things of the world, and the despised things, has God chosen, and things not being, that the things being he might leave unemployed:

And ye are of him in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and also justice, and consecration, and holiness:

And I having come to you, brethren, came not with eminence of word or of wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.

That your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, hidden, which God determined beforehand, before the times to our glory:

But as has been written. Which the eye saw not, and the ear heard not, and upon the heart of man it came not up, what things God has prepared for them loving him.

And God has revealed to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, and the deep things of God.

For who of men knows the things of men except the spirit of man in him? so also the things of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.

And we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit from God; that we might know things bestowed upon us as a gift by God.

And the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: and he cannot know, for they are spiritually examined.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God increased.

So that neither he planting is anything, neither he watering; but God increasing.

For we are workers together with God: the agriculture of God, ye are the building of God.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise chief-architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon. And let each see how he builds upon.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the spirit of God dwells in you?

If any one destroy the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written, He seizing the wise in their deceptions.

And ye of Christ; and Christ of God.

So let a man reckon us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Therefore judge ye nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who also, will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of hearts: and then shall praise be to each from God.

For I think that God has exhibited us the last sent, as exposed to death; for we were a theatre to the world, and to messengers, and to men.

For if ye have ten thousand preceptors in Christ, but not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus by the good news I begat you.

For the kingdom of God not in word, but in power.

Your boasting not good. Know ye not that a little leaven may leaven the whole mixture?

And them without God judges. And take ye away evil from yourselves.

Or know ye not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God Be ye not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

Nor thieves; nor covetous, nor intoxicated, nor railers, nor rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And these were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were consecrated, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods: and God will also leave unemployed this and them. And the body not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

And God also raised up the Lord, and us will he also raise up by his power.

Or know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?

For ye were bought for a price: then glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are of God.

And of what ye wrote to me: good for a man not to touch a woman.

For I will all men to be as also myself. But each has his own favor of God, the one truly thus, and the other thus.

And I say to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain also as I.

And if the unbelieving is separated, let him be separated. A brother or a sister has not been reduced to slavery in such things as these: and God has called us in peace.

Except as God divided to each, as the Lord has called each, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commands of God.

Each, in what he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.

I think therefore this to be good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man to be thus.

And she is happier if she so remain, according to my opinion: and I also think to have the Spirit of God.

And if any one love God, the same is known of him.)

Concerning food therefore of sacrifices to idols, we know that an idol nothing in the world, and that none other God but one.

But to us one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom all things, and we by him.

And food sets us not before God: for neither, if we eat, do we abound; neither if we eat not, do we want.

For in the law of Moses has been written, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox grinding. Is there not care to God for oxen?

If others participate with your power, not rather we? But we used not this power; but endure all things, lest we give some hindrance to the good news of Christ.

Thus also the Lord appointed to them announcing good news to live of the good news.

But I used none of these things: and I wrote not these things, that thus it might be with me: for good to me rather to die, than that any should render my boasting void.

For if I announce the good news, there is no boasting to me: for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I announce not the good news!

What reward therefore is to me? That announcing good news, I shall make the good news of Christ not expensive, not to make use of my power in the good news.

To the lawless, as lawless, (not being lawless to God, but subject to the law to Christ,) that I might gain the lawless,

And this. I do on account of the good news, that I might become a partaker of it.

But God was not contented with the most of them: for they were overthrown in the desert.

No temptation except human has taken you and God faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able; but with the temptation will he also make an escape, that ye may be able to bear.

But, that what things they sacrifice the nations sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I will not ye be partakers of demons.

Whether therefore ye eat, whether ye drink, or what ye do, do ye all things to the glory of God.

And be ye not molesters to the Jews, and the Greeks, and to the church of God:

And I will you to know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman the man; and the head of Christ God.

For truly the man ought not to have the head covered, being the image and glory of God: and the woman is the glory of the man.

For as the woman by the man, so also the man by the woman; and all things of God.

Judge in yourselves: is it suitable for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

And if any one seem to be loving strife, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

For, have ye not houses for eating and drinking? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them not having? What should I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise not.

Wherefore I make known to you, that none speaking in the Spirit of God calls Jesus anathema: and none can say Lord Jesus, but in the Holy Spirit.

And there are distinctions of performances, and it is the same God performing all things in all.

And now has God set the members each one of them in the body, as he would.

And our becoming parts have no need: but God blended the body together, to the wanting having given more abundant honour:

And whom truly God set in the church, first the sent, second the prophets, third teachers, then powers, then graces of healings, helps, directions, kinds of tongues.

For he speaking in a tongue speaks not to men, but to God: (for none hears; and in the spirit he speaks mysteries.)

I thank my God, speaking in tongues more than you all:

And so the hidden things of his heart are made manifest; and so having fallen upon the face, he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly with you.

And if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

For God is not of unsteadiness, but of peace, as in all the churches of the holy ones.

Or came out the word of God from you or did it arrive to you only?

And I make known to you, brethren, the good news which I announced to you, which also ye received, and in which ye stood;

For I am the least of the sent, who am not fit to be called sent, for I drove out the church of God.

And by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which in me was not vain; but I was more abundantly wearied than they all: and not I, but the grace of God which with me.

And we are also found false witnesses of God; for we testified for God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if therefore the dead are not raised.

Then the end, when he should deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he should leave unemployed every beginning and every authority and power.

And when all things be subjected to him, then also shall the Son himself be subjected to him having made all things subject to him, that God might be all things in all.

Be not deceived: evil intercourses corrupt good habits.

Recover your senses rightly, and in not; for some have a want of knowledge of God: I speak to your confusion.

And God gives it a body as he would, and to each of the seed its own body.

And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

And grace to God, giving us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
