So that ye are wanting in no good gift,

Now this I say, every one of you saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

Lest any should say, that I had baptized in my own name.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God.

So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

For we are fellow-labourers of God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

wood, hay, stubble, Every one's work shall be made manifest;

for the day shall declare it: for it is revealed by fire; yea the fire shall try every one's work, of what sort it is.

If any one's work which he hath built thereon shall remain, he shall receive a reward.

If any one's work shall be burnt, he shall suffer loss, but himself shall be saved, yet so as through the fire.

all are yours, And ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

Let a man so account us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

But it is a very small thing with me, to be judged by you or by any man's judgment; yea, I judge not myself.

We are fools for Christ's sake; but ye are wise in Christ: we are weak; but ye are strong: ye are honourable; but we are despised.

It is commonly reported, that there is fornication among you, and such fornication, as is not even named among the heathens, that one should have his father's wife.

as if I were present, judged him who hath so done this, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit,

I speak to your shame. What, is there not so much as one wise man among you, that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

And ye are not your own: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God with your body and your spirit, which are God's.

But I say this by way of advice, not by way of precept. For I would that all men were even as myself:

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

But as God hath distributed to every one, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk.

For he that is called by the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman; and in like manner, he that is called being free, is the servant of Christ.

But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that even they that have wives, be as if they had none: And they that weep, as if they wept not;

And this I say for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare upon you, but that ye may decently wait upon the Lord without distraction.

But if any think that he acteth indecently toward his virgin, if she be above age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

So then he also that giveth in marriage, doth well; but he that giveth not in marriage, doth better.

But if any one love God, he is known by him. I say, as to the eating of things sacrificed to idols,

For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at meat in an idol-temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be encouraged to eat of the things sacrificed to the idol?

So also hath the Lord ordained, that they who preach the gospel, should live of the gospel.

But I have used none of these things; nor have I written thus, that it might be done so unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make this my glorying void.

And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker thereof with you.

Know ye not, that they who run in the race, all run, but one receiveth the prize? so run that ye may obtain.

I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; I so fight, not as one that beateth the air.

and all passed through the sea, And were all baptized unto Moses,

in the cloud and in the sea, And all ate the same spiritual meat,

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

What say I then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is any thing? or that an idol is any thing?

Let no one seek his own, but every one another's welfare.

For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.

But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for his sake that shewed thee, and for conscience sake.

Conscience I say, not thy own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another's conscience?

And as the woman was of the man, so also the man is by the woman; but all things are of God.

Therefore when ye come together into one place, it is not eating the Lord's supper.

What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or do ye despise the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this?

Therefore as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye shew forth the Lord's death, till he come.

So that whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

Therefore let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not distinguishing the Lord's body.

Therefore I give you to know, that as no one speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus accursed; so no one can say, Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

For as the body is one, and yet hath many members, but all the members of the body, many as they are, are one body, so is Christ.

For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot should say,

And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?

And 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.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

And now we see by means of a glass obscurely; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then I shall know even as also I am known.

So inanimate things which give a sound, whether pipe or harp, unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

So likewise unless ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? For ye will speak to the air.

Let there be ever so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them without signification:

So ye also, seeing ye desire spiritual gifts, seek to abound in them, to the edifying of the church.

Otherwise if thou givest thanks with the Spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of a private person, say Amen to thy thanksgiving, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

It is written in the law, In foreign tongues and with foreign lips will I speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.

So that tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; whereas prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for believers.

Yet if the whole church be met together, and all speak with unknown tongues, and there come in ignorant persons or unbelievers, will they not say, that ye are mad?

The secrets of his heart are made manifest, and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, and declare that God is among you of a truth.

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

But if Christ is preached, that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?

For as through Adam all die, even so through Christ shall all be made alive.

But every one in his own order: Christ the first-fruit, afterward they who are Christ's, at his coming.

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

So also is the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.

And so it is written, The first Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam is a quickening Spirit.

But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Concerning the collection for the saints, as I have ordered the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

For I will not see you now in my way; but hope to stay some time with you, if the Lord permit.

But if Timotheus come, see that he be with you without fear; for he laboureth in the work of the Lord, even as I.
