And I, when I came among you, brethren, came not with excellency of language, or of human wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God:

Yet we speak true wisdom among the perfect: though not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought.

Wherefore judge nothing before the time; even until the Lord come, who 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.

Now some are puffed up, as if I would not come to you.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord please, and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power:

What do ye chuse? that I should come to you with a rod? or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

Do not withdraw from one another, unless by consent for a season, that ye may attend to fasting and prayer: and come together again, least Satan tempt you through your incontinency.

Now all these things happened to them as examples: and are written for our admonition, on whom the last ages are come.

For first when ye come together in the church, I hear there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.

As often then as ye eat of this bread, and drink of this cup, ye commemorate the Lord's death till he come.

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another:

and if any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together to your condemnation. And as to other things, I will set them in order when I come.

But when that which is perfect shall come, then that which is defective shall be laid aside.

Now, my brethren, if I come to you speaking with many tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak intelligibly to you of revelation, or knowledge, or prophecy, or doctrine?

If then the whole church be come together and all speak in unknown tongues, and there come in illiterate persons, or infidels, will they not say that ye are mad?

But if all prophesy, and there come in an unbeliever, or one unlearned, he is convinced by all, he is judged by all.

What is then to be done, my brethren? when ye come together, if any of you hath a psalm, a doctrine, a tongue, a revelation, an interpretation,---let all be done for edification.

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

for as by man came death, by man cometh also the resurrection of the dead.

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

And when this corruptible shall be clothed with incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory."

Upon the first day of the week let every one of you set apart something, putting it into the treasury, according as he is prospered: that there may be no need of collections, when I come.

I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia; for I am to pass through Macedonia.

If Timothy should come, see that he be with you without fear: for he is employed in the work of the Lord, as I also am.

Let no one therefore despise him: but forward him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren. As to our brother Apollos,

I much importuned him to come to you with the brethren: but he was not at all willing to come now; though he will come when he has a favorable opportunity.
