to the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called out with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God.

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom did not know God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

But, we speak wisdom among those who are perfect; yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nothing.

But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard," nor has it entered into the heart of man, "the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills. And I will not know the speech of those who are puffed up, but the power.

For what is it to me to also judge those who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?

But God judges those who are outside. Therefore put out from you the evil one.

If, then, you truly have judgments of the things of this life, set those who are least esteemed in the church to judge.

But this I say, brothers, The time is short. It remains that both those who have wives should be as not having one.

For though there are those who are called gods, whether in Heaven or in earth (as there are many gods and many lords),

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours becomes a stumbling block to those who are weak.

My answer to those who examine me is this:

Do you not know that those who minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? And those attending the altar are partakers with the altar.

Even so, the Lord ordained those announcing the gospel to live from the gospel.

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain the Jews. To those who are under the Law, I became as under the Law, so that I might gain those who are under the Law.

To those who are outside Law, I became as outside Law (not being outside law to God, but under the Law to Christ), so that I might gain those who are outside Law.

Do you not know that those running in a race all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.

And everyone who strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Then those truly that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

Behold Israel after the flesh. Are not those who eat of the sacrifices also partakers of the altar?

If any of those who do not believe invite you to a feast, and if you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for conscience' sake.

For do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God, and shame those who do not have? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? I do not praise you!

And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we put more abundant honor around them. And our unpresentable members have more abundant propriety.

So that tongues are not a sign to those who believe, but to those who do not believe. But prophesying is not to those who do not believe, but to those who believe.

Then also those that fell asleep in Christ were lost.

But now Christ has risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruit of those who slept.

Otherwise, what will they do, those being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not at all raised, why indeed are they baptized on behalf of the dead?
