So that ye are not wanting in any grace; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And this I say, that each of you says, I truly am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you? or in Paul's name were ye immersed

Lest any should say that in my name I have immersed.

For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many powerful, not, many well born:

And my word and my proclaiming not in persuasible words of man's wisdom, but in manifestation of the Spirit and of power

But as has been written. Which the eye saw not, and the ear heard not, and upon the heart of man it came not up, what things God has prepared for them loving him.

For who of men knows the things of men except the spirit of man in him? so also the things of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.

Which also we speak, not in words taught of man's wisdom, but in them taught of the Holy Spirit; examining spiritual things by spiritual.

For when a certain one should say, I truly am of Paul; and another, I of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

So that neither he planting is anything, neither he watering; but God increasing.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise chief-architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon. And let each see how he builds upon.

If the work of any one shall be burned, he shall be caused damage: and he shall be saved; and so as by fire.

So let a man reckon us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

And to me it is the least that I be judged by you, or by man's day: but neither do I judge myself.

In general is fornication heard among you, and such fornication which is not named in the nations, for any to have his father's wife.

For I truly, as being at a distance in body, and being present in spirit, have already, as being present, judged him having so worked this.

For confusion I speak to you. So is there not one wise with you, who will be able to judge between his brother?

And this I say according to indulgence, not according to order.

And I say to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain also as I.

Except as God divided to each, as the Lord has called each, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches.

And this I say, brethren, the time is restricted; as to the rest, that they also having wives should be as not having;

And this I say for the advantage of yourselves; not that I shall cast a net upon you, but for the becoming, and occupied assiduously for the Lord without being turned away.

And if any think to act unbecomingly towards his virgin, if she be past the vigor of youth, and so it ought to be, let him do what he will, he sins not; let them marry.

So that he marrying does well; and he not marrying does better.

And she is happier if she so remain, according to my opinion: and I also think to have the Spirit of God.

And see ye lest this your power be a stumble to the weak.

For if any one see thee having knowledge reclining in the idol's temple, shall not his consciousness, being weak, be built up to eat the sacrifices to idols;

And so sinning against the brethren, and striking their weak consciousness, ye sin against Christ.

Not according to man do I speak these things: or does not the law also say these things?

Or does he say altogether on account of us? For it was written on account of us: that he ploughing ought to plough upon hope; and he grinding upon hope, to participate with his hope.

Do ye not know that they running in a race-course, all truly run, and one receives the prize of combat? Do ye so run, that ye might receive.

I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so practise I pugilism, as not laying stripes upon air:

And I will not ye be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

And were all immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea;

Therefore let him seeming to stand see that he fall not.

As to the wise speak I; judge ye what I say.

See ye Israel according to the flesh: are not they eating the sacrifices mutual participators of the altar?

What do I say therefore? that an idol is any thing? or that what is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?

Let none seek his own, but each another's.

And if any one say to you, This is sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for him making it known, and consciousness: for of the Lord the earth, and its fulness:

And consciousness, I say, not thine, but another's: for that why is my freedom judged by another's consciousness

For as the woman by the man, so also the man by the woman; and all things of God.

Therefore ye coming together upon the same, it is not to eat the Lord's supper.

For, have ye not houses for eating and drinking? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them not having? What should I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise not.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye announce the Lord's death till he come.

And let a man try himself, and so eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

For he eating and drinking unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

Wherefore I make known to you, that none speaking in the Spirit of God calls Jesus anathema: and none can say Lord Jesus, but in the Holy Spirit.

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

If the foot say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; by this is it not of the body

And if the ear say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; by this is it not of the body

The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

For now we see by a mirror in an enigma; then face to face: now I know by parts; and then shall I know as I was known.

So also ye, except by the tongue ye give an evident word, how shall the speaking be known? for ye shall be speaking into the air.

So also ye, since ye are zealous of spirits, for the building up of the church seek that ye may abound.

When if thou praise in the spirit, how shall he filling the place of the private individual say Amen at thy thanksgiving) since he knows not what thou sayest

It has been written in the law, That in other tongues and in other lips will I speak to this people; and not so will they hear me, says the Lord.

So that tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving: and the gift of prophecy, not to the unbelieving, but to the believing.

If therefore the whole church come together upon the same, and all speak with tongues, and the private individual, or unbelieving, come in, will they not say that ye are enraged?

And so the hidden things of his heart are made manifest; and so having fallen upon the face, he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly with you.

Whether therefore I or they, so we proclaim, and so ye believed.

And if Christ is proclaimed that he arose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no rising up of the dead?

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

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

So also the rising up of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

So also has been written, The first man Adam was born into a living soul; and the last Adam into a spirit making alive.

And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

And concerning the collection for the holy ones, as I appointed to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

For I will not see you now in coming forward; but I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord permit.

And if Timotheus come, see ye that he be with you fearlessly: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also.
