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

so that, according as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord."

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged by no one.

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

So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

So he planting, and he watering, are one, and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let every man be careful how he builds on it.

And if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,

If anyone's work which he built remains, he shall receive a reward.

If anyone's work shall be burned up, he shall suffer loss. But he shall be saved, yet so as by fire.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool so that he may be wise.

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

for I know nothing by myself. Yet I have not been justified by this, but He who judges me is the Lord.

And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, so that he who has done this deed may be taken from your midst.

Or do you not know that he being joined to a harlot is one body? For He says, The two shall be one flesh.

But he being joined to the Lord is one spirit.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

And the woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is pleased to dwell with her, do not let her leave him.

Let each one remain in the calling in which he was called.

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.

Each in whatever way he was called, brothers, in this remain with God.

But I desire you to be without anxiety. The one who is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how to please the Lord.

But the one who is married cares for the things of the world, how to please his wife.

The wife and the virgin are different. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

But if anyone thinks it behaving himself indecently toward his virgin (if she is past her prime, and so it ought to be) let him do what he will; he does not sin; let them marry.

But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but who has authority over his own will (and has so judged in his heart that he will keep his virginity) he does well.

So then he who gives in marriage does well. But he who does not give in marriage does better.

And if any man thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

But if any one loves God, he has been known of him.

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

Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? It was written for us, so that he who plows should plow in hope, and so that he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.

So let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;

And giving thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body, which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of Me."

In the same way He took the cup also, after supping, saying, "This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; as often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of Me."

For "as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you show" the Lord's death until He shall come.

So that whoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, he will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

For he who eats and drinks unworthily eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing separately to each one as He desires.

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. For no one hears, but in spirit he speaks mysteries.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for building up, and exhortation, and comfort.

The one speaking in a tongue builds himself up, but he prophesying builds up a church.

I wish all of you to speak in languages, but rather that you may prophesy; for greater is he prophesying than he speaking in tongues, unless he interpret so that the church may receive building up.

Yet lifeless things giving a sound, whether flute or harp, if they do not give a distinction in the sound, how will it be known what is being piped or harped?

So also you, if you do not give a clear word through the language, how will it be known what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air.

Therefore if I do not know the power of the sound, I will be a foreigner to him speaking, and he speaking will be a foreigner to me.

So then he speaking in a language, let him pray that he may interpret.

Else, if you bless in the spirit, he occupying the place of the unlearned, how will he say the amen at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you say?

But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or one not instructed comes, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all.

And so the secrets of his heart become revealed. And so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.

Then how is it, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be for building up.

and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures;

and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the Twelve.

Afterward He was seen by over five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until this present day, but also some fell asleep.

Afterward He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

And last of all He was seen by me also, as one born out of time.

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?

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.

then is the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power.

for it is right for Him to reign until He has put all the enemies under His feet.

For He put all things under His feet. But when He says that all things have been put under His feet, it is plain that it excepts Him who has put all things under Him.

But someone will say, How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?

On the first of the sabbaths let each of you put by himself, storing up what ever he is prospered, so that there may be no collections when I come.

But if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he works the work of the Lord, even as I do.

Therefore let not any despise him, but set him forward in peace, so that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brothers.

As regards our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not altogether his will that he come now. But he will come when he has opportunity.
