Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God,

and Sosthenes a brother, To the church of God, which is in Corinth, to them that are sanctified through Christ Jesus, called and holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:

Grace be unto 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 which is given you by Christ Jesus:

So that ye are wanting in no good gift,

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

Or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? I thank God, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius:

For the doctrine of the cross is indeed to them that perish foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

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

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world, to shame the things that are mighty:

And the base things of the world, and things that are despised, hath God chosen; yea, things that are not, to bring to nought the things that are; That no flesh may glory before him.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who is made by God unto us wisdom,

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

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

Yet we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: but not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery,

which God ordained before the world for our glory;

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which are freely given to us of God.

I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

For we are fellow-labourers of God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise master-builder I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon; but let every one take heed how he buildeth thereon.

Know ye not, that ye are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If any man destroy the temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; as it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

all are yours, And ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

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

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every one have praise from God.

For I think God hath set forth us the apostles last, as appointed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.

Your glorying is not good: know ye not, that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

(But them that are without God will judge:) And ye will take away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Know ye not, that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate,

nor sodomites, Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor revilers, nor the rapacious shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats; yet God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

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

God forbid. Know ye not, that he who is joined to an harlot is one body? For they two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

Know ye not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God?

And ye are not your own: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God with your body and your spirit, which are God's.

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote to me, It is good for a man, not to touch a woman.

but every one hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, another after that.

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

But if the unbeliever will depart, let him depart: a brother or a sister is not inslaved in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

But as God hath distributed to every one, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk.

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

Brethren, let every one wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

I apprehend therefore, that this is good for the present distress, that it is good for a man to continue as he is.

But she is happier, if she continue as she is, in my judgment; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

But if any one love God, he is known by him. I say, as to the eating of things sacrificed to idols,

we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are many gods and many lords) Yet to us there is but one God,

But meat commendeth us not to God; for neither if we eat, are we the better, nor if we eat not, are we the worse.

For it is written, in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn? Doth God take care for oxen?

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

And all drank the same spiritual drink (for they drank out of the spiritual rock which followed them; and that rock was Christ) Yet, with the most of them, God was not well-pleased;

There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above your ability, but will with the temptation make also a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

But that what the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. Now I would not that ye should be partakers with devils.

Therefore whether ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Give no offence either to the Jews, or to the Gentiles, or to the church of God:

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

Therefore if a woman is not covered, let her also be shaved: but if it be shameful, for a woman to have her hair shaved off, or cut short, let her be covered.

A man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

And as the woman was of the man, so also the man is by the woman; but all things are of God.

Judge of yourselves: is it decent for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

But if any one be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or do ye despise the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this?

Therefore I give you to know, that as no one speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus accursed; so no one can say, Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all.

But now hath God set the members, every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

For our comely parts have no need; but God hath tempered the body together, giving more abundant honour to that which lacked:

And God hath set in the church, first, apostles, secondly, prophets, thirdly, teachers: afterward miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, different kinds of tongues.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God; for no one understandeth him, though by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries:

I thank God, that I speak with tongues more than you all.

The secrets of his heart are made manifest, and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, and declare that God is among you of a truth.

But 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 the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Did the word of God come out from you? or did it come to you alone?

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain, but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified from God, that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise, if the dead rise not.

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

But when all things shall be put under him, then shall the Son himself also be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Be not deceived. Evil communications corrupt good manners.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to each of the seeds, its own body.

But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

But thanks be to God,
