He also will establish you even to the end, and make you blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

for he, who has called you to the communication of his son Jesus Christ our Lord, will make good his promise.

Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of the intelligent will I make useless."

where is the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?

Seeing that the Jews make request for signs, and the Greeks are looking for knowledge:

But God chose what is nonsense in the world to make the wise feel ashamed. God chose what is weak in the world to make the strong feel ashamed.

and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless --

So that-in the words of Scripture-'Let him who boasts make his boast of the Lord!'

for I made the decision to know nothing [that is, to forego philosophical or theological discussions regarding inconsequential things and opinions while] among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified [and the meaning of His redemptive, substitutionary death and His resurrection].

And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:

But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

But the Spirit we have received is not that of the world, but the Spirit that comes from God, which we have to make us realize the blessings God has given us.

But the spiritual person [i.e., one who has the Holy Spirit] is able to discern all things [i.e., has the ability to make right judgments about things], and he himself [i.e., his conduct] cannot be [critically] discerned by any [unbelieving] man.

So neither the planter nor the waterer counts for anything, but only God who makes the plants grow.

Every man's work will be made clear in that day, because it will be tested by fire; and the fire itself will make clear the quality of every man's work.

Do you know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit makes its home in you?

If anyone makes the house of God unclean, God will put an end to him; for the house of God is holy, and you are his house.

So let no one make boast in men. For all things are yours;

For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

So you must stop forming any premature judgments, but wait until the Lord shall come again, for He will bring to light the secrets hidden in the dark and will make known the motives of men's hearts, and the proper praise will be awarded each of us.

For who makes you superior? And what do you have that you did not get from someone? But if you got it from someone, why do you boast as though you had not?

I do not write this to make you blush with shame but to give you counsel as my dear children.

So I beg you, make it your habit to follow my example,

For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and true child in the Lord; he will make clear to you my ways in Christ, even as I am teaching everywhere in every church.

Some make their boast as if I would not come to you.

This pride of yours is not good. Do you not see that a little leaven makes a change in all the mass?

Why then, if you have cases relating to earthly affairs which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the church whom you make your judges?

I ask this to make you blush with shame. Has it come to this, that there is not a single wise man among you who could settle a grievance of one brother against another,

Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

Or is a thief, or the worse for drink, or makes use of strong language, or takes by force what is not his, will have any part in the kingdom of God.

the meats are for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

Or, are you not aware that a man who has to do with a prostitute makes his body one with hers? For God says, "The two shall be physically one."

don't desert one another, unless you mutually consent to retire for a time, to the solemnity of prayer; and then come together again, lest satan make an attempt upon your continency.

Only, everyone must continue in the station which the Lord has appointed for him, and in which he was when God's call came to him. This is the rule I make in all the churches.

If any man who is a Christian has had circumcision, let him keep so; and if any man who is a Christian has not had circumcision, let him make no change.

Being circumcised or being uncircumcised does not make any difference; all that matters is keeping God's commands.

Were you called [while] a slave? Do not let it be a concern to you. But if indeed you are able to become free, rather make use of [it].

If you are married to a wife, make no attempt to get free from her: if you are free from a wife, do not take a wife.

and those who make use of the world as [if they] do not make full use of [it]. For the present form of this world is passing away.

Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies.

Food will not make us acceptable to God. We are not inferior if we don’t eat, and we are not better if we do eat.

Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

The defense that I make to my critics is this:

Who makes war at any time at his own charges who plants a vineyard, and eats not of its fruit or who feeds a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock?

If others have a part in this right over you, have we not even more? But we did not make use of our right, so that we might put nothing in the way of the good news of Christ.

In the same way, the Lord has ordered that those who proclaim the gospel should make their living from the gospel.

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

Though free from all men, I make myself the slave of all, that I may win the more.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run [their very best to win], but only one receives the prize? Run [your race] in such a way that you may seize the prize and make it yours!

But I beat and bruise my body and make it my slave, so that after I have called others to the contest I may not be disqualified myself.

And you must not be idolaters, like some of them; as it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to make sport.

Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

I appeal to your good sense. Make up your minds about what I say.

Inasmuch as there is one loaf of bread that we all share, we who are many make up one body [of believers].

Or, are we [trying to] make the Lord jealous [by doing this]? [Do we think] we are stronger that He is?

Eat whatever is sold in the [public] meat markets, without asking any questions [about it] for [your] conscience' sake [i.e., do not inquire about the previous use of the food you buy, because you might discover something about it that would make you feel guilty of wrongdoing if you ate it].

If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.

But if someone says to you, "This meat has been offered as a heathen sacrifice," make it your rule not to eat it, for the sake of the man who warned you and for conscience' sake;

While any woman, who prays or preaches in public bare-headed, dishonors him who is her Head; for that is to make herself like one of the shameless women who shave their heads.

But in giving you these instructions, I have a criticism to make [about you people]. It is that your assemblies are doing more harm than good.

But this makes it impossible for you to eat the 'Lord's' supper when you hold your gatherings.

What! have ye not houses to eat in and to drink? or despise ye the church of God, and make those ashamed who have none? What shall I say unto you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

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

so that whosoever eats this bread, and drinks this cup without respect to the Lord, does make a criminal use of the body and blood of the Lord.

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus [is] accursed," and no one is able to say "Jesus [is] Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.

and there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who makes them all effectual in all.

But all these, the one and the same Spirit makes effectual, distributing to each, respectively, as he wills.

For as the body is one, and has a number of parts, and all the parts make one body, 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 the foot says, "As I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body.

And if the ear says, "As I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body.

and the parts of the body that we think are less honorable are treated with special honor, and we make our less attractive parts more attractive.

so that there would not be any division in the body [Note: Paul here leaves the analogy of the physical body and makes application to the spiritual body, the church], but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.

If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

I may distribute all I possess in charity, I may give up my body to be burnt, but if I have no love, I make nothing of it.

Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love makes no parade, is not puffed up,

Pursue [this] love [with eagerness, make it your goal], yet earnestly desire and cultivate the spiritual gifts [to be used by believers for the benefit of the church], but especially that you may prophesy [to foretell the future, to speak a new message from God to the people].

For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.

Now, believers, if I come to you speaking in unknown tongues, how will I benefit you unless I also speak to you [clearly] either by revelation [revealing God’s mystery], or by knowledge [teaching about God], or by prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new message from God to the people], or by instruction [teaching precepts that develop spiritual maturity]?

Moreover when things without life give sound: whether it be a pipe, or a harp - except they make a distinction in the sounds - how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

If, for example, the trumpet makes an unclear sound, who will get ready for battle?

Well, it is the same with yourselves. Unless your tongue utters language that is readily understood, how can people make out what you say? You will be pouring words into the empty air!

So with yourselves; since your heart is set on possessing 'spirits,' make the edification of the church your aim in this desire to excel.

For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.

For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind.

I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:

But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood,

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.

Make no mistake about this: 'bad company is the ruin of good character.'

Come to your senses; do what is right and stop sinning. Some of you do not know God [i.e., in a personal way]. I am saying this to make you ashamed.

The victory is ours, thank God! He makes it ours by our Lord Jesus Christ.

if the sum makes it worth my while to go too, they shall accompany me.
