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.

I thank God that I baptised none of you, but Crispus and Gaius,

For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should have been made of none effect.

For the preaching of the cross is, to them that perish, foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.

But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews, an occasion of falling; and unto the Greeks, foolishness.

But unto them which are called, both of Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound things which are mighty.

And my words, and my preaching were not with enticing words of man's wisdom: but in showing of the spirit and of power,

that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men: but in the power of God.

but we speak the wisdom of God, which is in secret and lieth hid, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

But as it is written, "The eye hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

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

For what man knoweth the things of a man: save the spirit of a man which is within him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God.

And we have not received the spirit of the world: but the spirit which cometh of God, for to know the things that are given to us of God,

which things also we speak - not in the cunning words of man's wisdom, but with the cunning words of the holy ghost, making spiritual comparisons of spiritual things.

For the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are but foolishness unto him: Neither can he perceive them, because he is spiritually examined.

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

"For who knoweth the mind of the Lord, other who shall inform him?" But we understand the mind of Christ.

And I could not speak unto you brethren as unto spiritual: but as unto carnal, even as it were unto babes in Christ.

I have planted. Apollos watered. But God gave increase.

So then, neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth: but God which gave the increase.

According to the grace of God given unto me, as a wise builder have I laid the foundation; and another hath built thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon.

If any man's work burn; he shall suffer loss. But he shall be safe himself, nevertheless yet as it were through fire.

With me is it but a very small thing, that I should be judged of you, either of man's day. No I judge not mine own self.

I write not these things to shame you: but as my beloved sons, I warn you.

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.

For the Kingdom of God is not in words, but in power.

And ye swell and have not rather sorrowed, that he which hath done this deed might be put from among you.

Therefore let us keep holiday, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of maliciousness and wickedness - but with the sweet bread of pureness and truth.

but now I write unto you that ye company not together. If any that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or a worshipper of images, either a railer, either a drunkard, or an extortioner: with him that is such see that ye eat not.

Them that are without, God shall judge. Put away from among you that evil person.

But one brother goeth to law with another: and that under the unbelievers?

And such were ye verily: but ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified by the name of the Lord Jesus: And by the spirit of our God.

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.

Meats are ordained for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Let not the body be applied unto fornication, but unto the Lord, and the Lord unto the body.

but he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

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

For ye are dearly bought. Therefore glorify ye God in your bodies and in your spirits, for they are God's.

The wife hath not power over her own body: but the husband; And likewise the man hath not power over his own body: but the wife.

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 and if they cannot abstain, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn.

Unto the married command not I, but the Lord: that the wife separate not herself from the man.

If she separate herself, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled unto her husband again. And let not the husband put away his wife from him.

To the remnant speak I, and not the Lord: if any brother have a wife that believeth not, if she be content to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And the woman which hath to her husband an infidel, if he consent to dwell with her, let her not put him away.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife: and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband. Or else were your children unclean: but now are they pure.

But and if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not in subjection to such. God hath called us in peace.

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.

Circumcision is nothing, uncircumcision is nothing: but the keeping of the commandments of God is altogether.

Ye are dearly bought; be not men's servants.

But and if thou take a wife, thou sinnest not. Likewise if a virgin marry, she sinneth not. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in their flesh: but I saver you.

but he that hath married, careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

There is difference between a virgin and a wife. The single woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be pure both in body and also in spirit: but she that is married, careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

This speak I for your profit, not to tangle you in a snare: but for that which is honest and comely unto you; And that ye may quietly cleave unto the Lord without separation.

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.

But she is happier if she so abide, in my judgement. And I think verily that I have the spirit of God.

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

But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

To speak of meat dedicated unto idols, we are sure that there is none idol in the world: and that there is none other God but one.

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.

But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that there is an idol, until this hour, and eat as of a thing offered unto the idol, and so their consciences being yet weak are defiled.

But take heed that your liberty cause not the weak to fall.

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.

But I have used none of these things. Neither wrote I these things that it should be so done unto me. For it were better for me to die than any man should take this rejoicing from me.

In that I preach the gospel, I have nothing to rejoice of. For necessity is put unto me. Woe is it unto me if I preach not the gospel.

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.

To them that were without law, became I as though I had been without law - when I was not without law as pertaining to God, but under a law as concerning Christ - to win them that were without law.

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.

but I tame my body and bring it into subjection, lest after that I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

But in many of them had God no delight. For they were overthrown in the wilderness.

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.

There hath none other temptation taken you, such as followeth the nature of man. God is faithful, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above your strength: but shall in the midst of the temptation make a way to escape out.

Nay, but I say, that these things which the gentiles offer, they offer to devils, and not to God. And I would not that ye should have fellowship with the devils.

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

Let no man seek his own profit: but let every man seek another's wealth.

If any of them which believe not bid you to a feast, and if ye be disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

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 -

Conscience I say, not thine: but the conscience of that other. For why should my liberty be judged of another man's conscience?

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

For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman's sake: but the woman for the man's sake.

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

This I warn you of, and commend not that ye come together: not after a better manner but after a worse.

But when we are judged of the Lord we are chastened, because we should not be damned with the world.

Wherefore I declare unto you that no man speaking in the spirit of God defieth Jesus. Also no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the holy ghost.

There are diversities of gifts verily, yet but one spirit.

And there are differences of administrations, and yet but one Lord.

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

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 the body is not one member, but many.

But now hath God disposed the members, every one of them in the body, at his own pleasure.

Now are there many members, yet but one body.

And upon those members of that body which we think least honest, put we most honesty on. And our ungoodly parts have most beauty on.

For our honest members need it not: but God hath so disposed the body, and hath given most honour to that part which lacked,

lest there should be any strife in the body: but that the members should indifferently care for one another.

rejoiceth not in iniquity: but rejoiceth in the truth,

but when that which is perfect is come, then that which is unperfect shall be done away.
