Paul, by vocation an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes.

Unto the congregation of God which is at Corinth. To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ, saints by calling, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both of theirs and of ours.

that in all things ye are made rich by him, in all learning and in all knowledge:

I beseech you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all speak one thing and that there be no dissension among you: but be ye perfect in one mind, and one meaning.

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent."

But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, yea the bottom of God's secrets.

But he that is spiritual discusseth all things: yet he himself is judged of no man.

Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours,

whether it be Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas: whether it be the world, or life, either death, whether they be present things or things to come: all are yours,

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God.

Me thinketh that God hath set forth us, which are apostles, for the lowest of all: as it were, men appointed to death. For we are a gazingstock unto the world, and to the angels, and to men.

We are evil spoken of, and we pray. We are made as it were the filthiness of the world, the offscouring of all things, even unto this time.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, which is my dear son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my ways which I have in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in all congregations.

but I will come to you shortly, if God will, and will know not the words of them which swell, but the power.

What will ye? Shall I come unto you with a rod, or else in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

Your rejoicing is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven soureth the whole lump of dough?

And I meant not at all of the fornicators of this world, either of the covetous, or of extortioners, either of the idolaters - for then must ye needs have gone out of the world -

This I say to your shame. Is there utterly no wise man among you? What, not one at all? That can judge between brother and brother?

All things are lawful unto me: but all things are not profitable. I may do all things: but I will be brought under no man's power.

Flee fornication. All sins that a man doth, are without the body. But he that is a fornicator, sinneth against his own body.

For I would that all men were as I myself am: but every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, another after that.

But even as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every person, so let him walk: and so ordain I in all congregations.

Nevertheless, he that purposeth surely in his heart, having none need: but hath power over his own will: and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doth well.

So then he that joineth his virgin in marriage doth well. But he that joineth not his virgin in marriage doth better.

The wife is bound to the law as long as her husband liveth. If her husband sleep, she is at liberty to marry with whom she will only in the Lord.

To speak of things dedicated unto idols, we are sure that we all have knowledge. Knowledge maketh a man swell: but love edifieth.

yet unto us is there but one God, which is the father, of whom are all things, and we in him: and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Wherefore if meat hurt my brother, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, because I will not hurt my brother.

Either, have we not power to lead about a sister to wife as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

If others be partakers of this power over you, wherefore are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power: but suffer all things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

If I do it with a good will, I have a reward. But if I do it against my will, an office is committed unto me.

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all men, that I might win the more.

To the weak became I as weak, to win the weak. In all thing I fashioned myself to all men, to save, at the leastway, some.

Perceive ye not how that they which run in a course, run all, yet but one receiveth the reward? So run that ye may obtain.

Every man that proveth masteries abstaineth from all things. And they do it to obtain a corruptible crown: but we to obtain an uncorruptible crown.

Brethren I would not that ye should be ignorant of this, how that our fathers were all under a cloud, and all passed through the sea,

and were all baptised under Moses in the cloud and in the sea:

and did all eat of one spiritual meat,

and did all drink of one manner of spiritual drink. And they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, Which rock was Christ.

All these things happened upon them for examples, and were written to put us in remembrance, whom the ends of the world are come upon.

Because that we - though we be many - yet are one bread, and one body inasmuch as we all are partakers of one bread.

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but all things edify not.

For the earth is the Lord's, and all that therein is.

But and if any man say unto you, "This is dedicated unto idols," eat not of it, for his sake that showed it, and for hurting of conscience - the earth is the Lord's and all that therein is -

Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the praise of God.

Even as I please all men in all things not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they might be saved.

I commend you brethren that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances even as I delivered them to you.

Every woman that prayeth or prophesieth bare-headed, dishonesteth her head. For it is even all one and the very same thing, even as though she were shaven.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man by the woman: but all is of God.

First of all, when ye come together in the congregation, I hear that there is dissension among you: And I partly believe it.

If any man hunger, let him eat at home, that ye come not together unto condemnation. Other things will I set in order when I come.

And there are divers manners of operations, and yet but one God, which worketh all things that are wrought in all creatures.

and these all worketh even the self same spirit, dividing to every man several gifts even as he will.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of one body though they be many, yet are but one body: even so is Christ.

For in one spirit are we all baptised to make one body, whether we be Jews or gentiles: whether we be bond or free, and have all drunk of one spirit.

If all the body were an eye: where were then the ear? If all were hearing: where were the smelling?

If they were all one member: where were the body?

And if one member suffer, all suffer with him: if one member be had in honour, all members be glad also.

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all doers of miracles?

Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

And though I could prophesy, and understood all secrets, and all knowledge: yea, if I had all faith so that I could move mountains out of their places, and yet had no love, I were nothing.

And though I bestowed all my goods to feed the poor, and though I gave my body even that I burned, and yet had no love, it profiteth me nothing.

suffereth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth in all things.

I would that ye all spake with tongues: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he expound it also, that the congregation may have edifying.

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and will pray with the mind also. I will sing with the spirit, and will sing with the mind also.

Thou verily givest thanks well: but the other is not edified.

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.

In the law it is written, "With other tongues, and with other lips will I speak unto this people, and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord."

If therefore when all the congregation is come together, and all speak with tongues, there come in they that are unlearned, or they which believe not: will they not say that ye are out of your wits?

But and if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is rebuked of all men, and is judged of every man;

How is it then brethren? When ye come together, every man hath his song, hath his doctrine, hath his tongue, hath his revelation, hath his interpretation: Let all things be done unto edifying.

For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may have comfort.

For God is not causer of strife: but of peace, as he is in all other congregations of the saints.

If they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for women to speak in the congregation.

And let all things be done honestly and in order.

For first of all, I delivered unto you that which I received: how that Christ died for our sins, agreeing to the scriptures,

After that appeared he to James, then to all the apostles.

And last of all he was seen of me, as of one that was born out of due time.

For I am the least of all the apostles, which am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God:

But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace which is in me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

If in this life only we believe on Christ, then are we, of all men, the miserablest.

For as by Adam all die; even so by Christ, shall all be made alive,

Then cometh the end, when he hath delivered up the kingdom to God the father, when he hath put down all rule, authority, and power.

For he must reign till he have put all his enemies under his feet.

"For he hath put all things under his feet." But when he saith, "All things are put under him," it is manifest, that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

When all things are subdued unto him: then shall the son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all things.

Either, else what do they which are baptised over the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptised over the dead?

But some man will say, "How shall the dead arise? With what bodies come they in?

All flesh is not one manner of flesh: but there is one manner flesh of men, another manner flesh of beasts, another manner flesh of fishes, and another of birds.

Behold, I show a mystery unto you: we shall not all sleep: but we shall all be changed,

When I am come, whosoever ye shall allow by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

I will come unto you after I have gone over Macedonia. For I will go throughout Macedonia.

With you peradventure I will abide a while: or else winter, that ye may bring me on my way whithersoever I go.

I will not see you now in my passage: but I trust to abide a while with you, if God shall suffer me.

I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost:

To speak of brother Apollos: I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren, but his mind was not at all to come at this time. Howbeit, he will come when he shall have convenient time.

Let all your business be done in love.

I beseech you that ye be obedient unto such, and to all that help and labour.

All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with a holy kiss.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
