But I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, - that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly joined together - in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

Now I mean this, - that, each one of you, is saying - I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ:

For Christ sent me not, to be immersing, but to be telling the good news, - not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ.

For, the discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved - unto us, it is, God's power.

But, unto the called themselves - both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God's power, and, God's wisdom.

On the contrary - the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty,

But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God, - both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

And, my discourse, and what I proclaimed, were not in suasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of Spirit and power:

In order that, your faith, might not be in men's wisdom, but in God's power.

But we speak, God's, wisdom, in a sacred secret, that hidden wisdom , which God marked out beforehand, before the ages, for our glory, -

But, even as it is written - The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and upon the heart of man have not come up, - whatsoever things God hath prepared for them that love him,

But, as for us, - not the spirit of the world, have we received, but the Spirit which is of God, - that we might know the things which, by God, have been given in favour unto us: -

Which we also speak - not in words taught of human wisdom, but in such as are taught of the Spirit, by spiritual words, spiritual things, explaining.

But, a man of the soul, doth not welcome the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, and he cannot get to know them, because, spiritually, are they examined;

But, the man of the spirit, on the one hand, examineth all things, but, on the other, he himself, by no one, is examined.

For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord, that shall instruct him? But, we, have, the mind of Christ.

I, therefore, brethren, have not been able to speak unto you, as unto men of the Spirit, but as unto men of the flesh - as unto babes in Christ: -

I, planted, Apollos, watered, - but, God, caused to, grow.

So that, neither is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth, - but, God, who causeth to, grow.

According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;

But, if anyone is building, upon the foundation - gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

If, anyone's work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved - though, thus, as through fire.

For, of nothing, to myself, am I conscious: nevertheless, not hereby, am I declared righteous, but, he that doth examine me, is the Lord.

But, these things, brethren, have I transferred unto myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that, in us, ye might learn the lesson - Not beyond the things that are written -- ! that ye do not puff yourselves up, individually, for this one against that.

For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou didst not receive? But, if thou didst even receive it, why dost thou boast, as though thou hadst not received it?

We, are foolish for Christ's sake, but, ye, prudent in Christ; we are weak, but, ye, mighty; ye, all-glorious, but, we, dishonoured.

Not, to shame you, write I these things; but, as my beloved children, I admonish you.

For this cause, sent I unto you, Timothy, - who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put, you, in mind of my ways which are in Christ Jesus, even as, everywhere, in every assembly, I teach.

But, as though I were not coming unto you, some are puffed up!

Howbeit, I will come quickly unto you, - if, the Lord, please, - and will get to know - not the speech of them who are puffed up, but, the power;

For, not in speech, is the kingdom of God, but, in power.

For, I, indeed, - being absent in the body, but present in the spirit, have already judged, as present, him who, thus, this thing hath perpetrated: -

So then, let us be keeping the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of baseness and wickedness, - but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

But, now, I have written unto you not to be mixing yourselves up, - if anyone named a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such a one as this, not so much, as to be eating together,

But, brother with brother, sueth for judgment, and that before unbelievers?

Nay! but, ye, are doing wrong, and defrauding, - and that your brethren.

And, these things, were some of you; but ye bathed them away, - but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified, in the name of ourLord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

All things, unto me, are allowable, but, not all things, are profitable: all things, unto me, are allowable, but, I, will not be brought under authority by any.

Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods; but, God, will set aside, both it and them. The body, however, is not for fornication, but, for the Lord, - and, the Lord, for the body.

But, he that joineth himself unto the Lord, is, one Spirit.

Flee fornication! Every sin, whatsoever a man shall commit, is, outside his body, but, he that committeth fornication, bringeth sin into his own body.

For ye have been bought with a price! Therefore glorify God in your body.

But, on account of fornications, let, each man, have, his own wife, and, each woman, have, her own husband:

The wife, over her own body, hath not authority, but the husband, and, in like manner, the husband also, over his own body, hath not authority, but the wife.

Besides, I desire all men to be, even as myself, - but, each one, hath his, personal, gift from God, one, after this manner, and, another, after that.

But I say, to the unmarried, and to the widows, good, were it for them, that they should abide, even as I;

But, if they have not self-control, let them marry, for, better, is it, to marry than to burn.

To the married, however, I give charge - not, I, but the Lord, - that, a wife, from her husband, do not depart, -

But, if she should even depart, let her remain unmarried, or, to her husband, be reconciled; and let not, a husband, leave, his wife.

But, unto the rest, say, I - not the Lord, - if, any brother, hath, a wife that believeth not, and, she, is well pleased to dwell with him, let him not leave her;

For the husband that believeth not is hallowed in the wife, and the wife that believeth not is hallowed in the brother: else were, your children, impure, but, now, are they, pure.

But, if, the unbelieving, departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister hath not come into bondage, in such cases, but, in peace, hath God called us.

The circumcision, is, nothing, and, the uncircumcision, is, nothing, - but keeping the commandments of God.

A bond-servant, wast thou called? let it not cause thee concern; but, if thou canst even become, free, rather use it.

With a price, have ye been bought, - do not become bond-servants of men:

But, concerning them who are virgin, injunction of the Lord, have I none; yet, a judgment, do I give, as one who hath obtained mercy from the Lord to be, faithful:

If, however, thou shouldst even marry, thou hast not sinned; and, if one who is virgin should marry, that one hath not sinned; - but, tribulation of the flesh, shall, such, have: - howbeit, I, spare you.

But, this, I say - the opportunity is, contracted for what remaineth - in order that, they who have wives, may be, as though they had none,

But, he that hath married, is anxious for the things of the world, how may please his wife -

And he is divided; and, the unmarried woman, or the virgin, is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy bothin her body and in her spirit; but, she that hath married, is anxious for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

This, however, with a view to your own profit, am I saying, - not that, a snare, upon you, I may cast, but with a view to what is comely, and devoted unto the Lord, without distraction.

But, he that standeth in his heart, steadfast, having no necessity, but hath authority concerning his own will, and, this, hath determined in his own heart, - to preserve his own virginity, well shall he do.

A wife, is bound for as long a time as her husband is living; but, if the husband have fallen asleep, she is, free, to be married unto whom she pleaseth, - only, in the Lord;

But, happier, is she, if, so, she remain, - in my judgment; for I think, I also, have the Spirit of God.

Now, concerning the idol-sacrifices, we are aware - because we, all, have knowledge, - knowledge, puffeth up, but, love, buildeth up;

But, if anyone loveth God, the same, is known of him -

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

But be taking heed, lest, by any means, your right, itself, become, an occasion of stumbling, unto the weak;

But, in thus sinning against the brethren am wounding their conscience, seeing it is weak, against Christ, are ye sinning.

If, others, of this right, over you, are partaking, should not rather, we? nevertheless, we used not this right; but, all such things, do we conceal, - lest we should cause any hindrance unto the glad message of the Christ.

For, if, by choice, this thing I am doing, I have, a reward; but, if not by choice, with a stewardship, have I been entrusted!

What, then, is my reward? that, in telling the glad-message, free of cost, I should put the glad-message, - to the end I should not use to the full my right in the glad-message.

To them who were without law, as, without law, - not being without law to God, but lawfully subject to Christ, - that I might win them who were without law.

But, all things, am I doing, for the sake of the glad-message, that a joint-partaker thereof, I may become.

Know ye not that, they who, in a racecourse, run, all, indeed, run, - but, one, receiveth the prize? So, be running, that ye may lay hold.

But, every man who striveth in the games, in all things, useth self-control; - they, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown, they may receive; but, we, an incorruptible!

But am beating my body under, and leading it captive, lest, by any means, - unto others, having proclaimed, the contest , I myself, should be rejected.

But, in these things, they became, ensamples for us, to the end we should not be covetous of evil things, even as, they, also coveted;

Neither let us be putting the Lord to the test, as, some of them, put him to the test, and, by the serpents, were perishing;

But, these things, by way of type, were happening unto them, and were written with a view to our admonition, unto whom, the ends of the ages, have reached along.

Trial, hath not taken you, save such as man can bear; faithful, moreover is God, who will not suffer you to be tried above what ye are able, but will make, with the trial, also the way of escape, that ye may be able to hold out.

All things are allowable - but, not all things, are profitable, - all things are allowable - but, not all things, upbuild.

Let, no one, be seeking, what concerneth himself, but that which concerneth some one else.

But, if anyone should say unto you, - This, is, a holy sacrifice, do not eat, for that man's sake who disclosed it, and for conscience sake: -

But, conscience, I mean, not thine own, but the other's, - for why is my freedom to be judged by another's conscience?

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

But I wish you to know - that, the head of every man, is, the Christ, and, the head of a woman, is, the man; and, the head of the Christ, is, God.

But, every woman, praying, or prophesying, with her head, unveiled, putteth to shame her head, - for it is, one and the same, with her having been shaven.

For, if a woman doth not veil herself, let her also be shorn; but, if it were a shame in a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

For, a man, indeed, ought not to be veiling his head, being, the image and glory of God, - but, the woman, is the glory of man;

For, man, is not, of woman, but, woman, of man;

For also man was not created, for the sake of the woman, but woman, for the sake of the man.

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

But, if, a woman, have long hair, it is a glory to her, for, her long hair, instead of a veil, hath been given to her.

But, if anyone thinketh to be contentious, we, have no such custom, - nor yet the assemblies of God.

But, in giving you the following charge, I praise you not, - in that, not for the better, but for the worse, ye come together.

What! have ye not houses for your eating and drinking? or, the assembly of God, do ye despise, and, put to shame them who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall I praise you? In this, I praise you not.

But let a man be proving himself, - and, so, of the loaf, let him eat, and, of the cup, let him drink;

But, being brought under judgment, by the Lord, are we being disciplined, lest, with the world, we should be condemned.

But, concerning the spiritually gifted, brethren, I am not wishing you to be ignorant.
