Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called saints, with all, in every place, who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ??heir Lord and ours:

that in everything ye were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge;

Who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

For it has been written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning will I set aside."

but to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things ??ven the deep things of God.

But he that is spiritual judges all things; but he himself is judged by no one.

the work of each one shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will prove each one's work, of what sort it is.

If any one's work shall be burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.

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

Therefore, let no one glory in men; for all things are yours;

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all are yours;

Wherefore, judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, Who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then will each one have his praise from God.

being defamed, we entreat; we were made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, until now.

For this cause, I sent to you Timothy, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who will bring to your remembrance my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

but I will come to you shortly if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power;

Your boasting is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

not at all meaning, with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters; since ye ought, in that event, to go out of the world;

Or know ye not that the saints will judge the world? And, if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of the smallest tribunals?

I speak to your shame! Is it so, that there is not among you even one wise man, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

All things are lawful for me; but all are not profitable. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the control of any.

Foods are for the stomach, and the stomach for foods; but God will bring to nought both this and these. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body;

and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up us through His power.

And I wish all men to be even as myself. Each one, however, has his own gift from God; one, indeed, after this manner, and another, after that.

For what do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or what do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each one, as God hath called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the assemblies.

But, even if you marry, you did not sin; and, if a virgin marry, she did not sin. Yet such will have tribulation in the flesh; and I am sparing you.

But he who has been standing steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has authority respecting his own will, and has determined this in his own heart, that he will keep his own virgin daughter, will do well.

So that both he that gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well; and he that gives her not in marriage will do better.

A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but, if her husband fall asleep, she is at liberty to he married to whom she will: only in the Lord.

Now, concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we know because we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

yet to us there is One God, the Father, of Whom are all things, and we for Him; and One Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom are all things, and we through Him.

But this knowledge is not in all; but some, by familiarity with the idol even until now, eat it as an idol-sacrifice; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

But food will not commend us to God; neither, if we eat not, are we lacking; nor, if we eat, do we abound.

For, if anyone sees you, who have knowledge, reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat the idol-sacrifices?

Wherefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will in no wise eat flesh forevermore; that I cause not my brother to stumble.

For in the law of Moses it has been written, "You shall not muzzle an ox while treading out the grain." Doth God care for the oxen?

If others partake of this authority over you, do not we still more? But we used not this right; but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Gospel of Christ.

For, being free from all men, I made myself servant to all, that I might gain the more.

To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I may, by all means, save some.

And I am doing all things for the Gospel's sake, that I may become a partaker thereof with others.

Know ye not that those running a race, all, indeed, run; but one receives the prize? So run; that ye may obtain.

And every one who strives in the games exercises self restraint in all things; they, indeed, therefore, to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

and were all immersed unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

and all ate the same spiritual food;

and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they were drinking of the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was the Christ.

A temptation has not taken you, except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

because we, the many, are one bread, one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful, but not all things build up.

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

even as I also, in all things, please all men: not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

Now I praise you, that you remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

For, as the woman is of the man, so also is the man through the woman; but all things are of God.

If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that ye come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.

And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, Who worketh all things in all.

But all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, distributing to each one, severally, even as He willeth.

For, as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is the Christ;

for, indeed, in one Spirit were we all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole body were hearing, where were the smelling?

And, if they were all one member, where were the body?

And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

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

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

And, if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all the 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 bestow in morsels all my goods; and, if I give my body to he burned, but have not love, I am profited nothing.

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails; but whether there be prophecies, they will be done away; whether there be tongues, they will cease; whether there be knowledge, it will be done away.

but, when the complete comes, the partial will be done away.

Now I wish you all to speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy; and greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edifying.

For even if a trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare for war?

So also ye, unless through the tongue ye give intelligible speech, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air!

If, then, I know not the meaning of the voice, I will be to him who is speaking a barbarian; and he that is speaking, a barbarian to me.

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

Else, if you are blessing with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he knows not what you say?

For you, verily, give thanks well, but the other is not edified.

I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all;

In the law it has been written, "With other tongues, and with lips of others, I will speak to this people; and not even thus will they listen to Me," saith the Lord.

If, therefore, the whole assembly comes together, and all are speaking with tongues, and there come in those who are unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad?

But, if all prophesy, and there come in one who is unbelieving or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all:

the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling on his face, he will worship God, reporting that, in reality, God is among you.

What is it, then, brethren? When ye come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edification.

for ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all be exhorted.

for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

But let all things be done decently and in order.

After that He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;

and, last of all, as to one born out of time, He appeared to me also.

But by God's grace I am what I am; and His grace which was bestowed upon me did not prove vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable!

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive;

Then comes the end, when He delivereth up the Kingdom to God, even His Father; when He shall abolish all rule and all authority and power;

for He must reign, till He hath put all the enemies under His feet.

for He put all things in subjection under His feet. But, when He saith, "All things have been put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted, Who subjected all things to Him.

And, when all things shall be subjected to Him, then will the Son also Himself be subjected to Him Who subjected all things to Him, that God may be all in all.

Else what will those do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they even immersed for them?

But some one will say, "How are the dead raised? and with what kind of body do they come?"

All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is, indeed, one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.

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

And, when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that has been written, "Death was swallowed up in victory."
