Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

faithful is God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

but to us did God reveal them through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,

for yet ye are fleshly, for where there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.

for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, 'Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'

for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I -- I did beget you;

unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren!

Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that ye have judgments with one another; wherefore do ye not rather suffer injustice? wherefore be ye not rather defrauded?

and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power.

Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one;

for even if there are those called gods, whether in heaven, whether upon earth -- as there are gods many and lords many --

yet to us is one God, the Father, of whom are the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are the all things, and we through Him;

but not in all men is the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an idol do eat it, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience -- in regard to Christ ye sin;

And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;

for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, and the all things are of God.

And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;

and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord;

and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.

for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,

The love doth never fail; and whether there be prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;

and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these is love.

so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give -- how shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning,

but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an unknown tongue.

If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

if an unknown tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret;

and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God.

And prophets -- let two or three speak, and let the others discern,

and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly.

through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,

And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons?

and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen;

for since through man is the death, also through man is a rising again of the dead,

All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds;

and there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one is the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;

it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;

and to God -- thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem;

And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia -- for Macedonia I do pass through --

Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house;
