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.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

and God has chosen the base things of the world, and things which are despised, and things which are not, in order to bring to nothing things that are;

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, which God has hidden, predetermining it before the world for our glory;

which none of the rulers of this world knew (for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory).

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."

These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let every man be careful how he builds on it.

If anyone's work which he built remains, he shall receive a reward.

If anyone defiles the temple of God, God shall destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.

And these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that you might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, so that no one of you may be puffed up against one another.

For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved son and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

for you are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

Let each one remain in the calling in which he was called.

And this I speak for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare on you, but for that which is right, and that you may attend on the Lord without distraction.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

But I say that the things which the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I do not desire that you should have fellowship with demons.

For if I by grace am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

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!

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;

And giving thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body, which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of Me."

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.

But when the perfect thing comes, then that which is in part will be caused to cease.

And, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and in which you stand;

by which you also are being kept safe, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace which was toward me has not been without fruit, but I labored more abundantly than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

Day by day I die, by your rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
