that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word of doctrine, and all knowledge,

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

Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?

I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,

that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.

Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.

which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;)

but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,

But we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:

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

And I, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.

I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able;

Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.

I have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase.

According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.

So that do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have his praise from God.

Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the lesson of not letting your thoughts go above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for such a one against another.

Already ye are filled; already ye have been enriched; ye have reigned without us; and I would that ye reigned, that we also might reign with you.

For I think that God has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

For if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the glad tidings.

For this reason I have sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in mind of my ways as they are in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

But some have been puffed up, as if I were not coming to you;

It is universally reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the nations, so that one should have his father's wife.

And ye are puffed up, and ye have not rather mourned, in order that he that has done this deed might be taken away out of the midst of you.

For I, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as present,

I have written to you in the epistle not to mix with fornicators;

But now I have written to you, if any one called brother be fornicator, or avaricious, or idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or rapacious, not to mix with him; with such a one not even to eat.

For what have I to do with judging those outside also? ye, do not ye judge them that are within?

If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those to judge who are little esteemed in the assembly.

Already indeed then it is altogether a fault in you that ye have suits between yourselves. Why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why are ye not rather defrauded?

And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

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

for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then God in your body.

But concerning the things of which ye have written to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman;

but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each woman have her own husband.

But if they have not control over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

(but if also she shall have been separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband;) and let not husband leave wife.

But as to the rest, I say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

Ye have been bought with a price; do not be the bondmen of men.

But concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give my opinion, as having received mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

But if thou shouldest also marry, thou hast not sinned; and if the virgin marry, they have not sinned: but such shall have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you.

But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having any:

But she is happier if she so remain, according to my judgment; but I think that I also have God's Spirit.

But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.

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

Have we not a right to eat and to drink?

have we not a right to take round a sister as wife, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

Or I alone and Barnabas, have we not a right not to work?

If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

If others partake of this right over you, should not rather we? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ.

But I have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for it were good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.

For if I announce the glad tidings, I have nothing to boast of; for a necessity is laid upon me; for it is woe to me if I should not announce the glad tidings.

For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with an administration.

What is the reward then that I have? That in announcing the glad tidings I make the glad tidings costless to others, so as not to have made use, as belonging to me, of my right in announcing the glad tidings.

For being free from all, I have made myself bondman to all, that I might gain the most possible.

I became to the weak, as weak, in order that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, in order that at all events I might save some.

For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

Now all these things happened to them as types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.

For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it be shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.

For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.

Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.

Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?

But woman, if she have long hair, it is glory to her; for the long hair is given to her in lieu of a veil.

But if any one think to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.

Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this point I do not praise.

For also in the power of one Spirit we have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.

The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you.

and those parts of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness;

but our comely parts have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to the part that lacked;

that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.

have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

And if I shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.

For we see now through a dim window obscurely, but then face to face; now I know partially, but then I shall know according as I also have been known.

by which also ye are saved, (if ye hold fast the word which I announced to you as the glad tidings,) unless indeed ye have believed in vain.

Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.

But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which was towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.

And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed those that are dead are not raised.

Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

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

Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him who is God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.

But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)

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

If, to speak after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if those that are dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

And as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one.

But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.

On the first of the week let each of you put by at home, laying up in whatever degree he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia.

Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity.

But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service,)

But I rejoice in the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: own therefore such.
