to the church of God which is at Corinth, to the sanctified in Jesus Christ, called to be saints, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours.

but we speak a wisdom of God hid in mystery, which God appointed from eternity for our glory,

which none of the rulers of this life knew, for if they had known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

but as it is written, An eye has not seen, an ear has not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those that love him;

For who knows the [things] of man, except the spirit of man which is in him? So also no one knows the [things] of God except the Spirit of God.

And we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things given us by God,

which we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

For no one can lay another foundation besides that laid, which is Christ Jesus.

If any one's work continues which he has built, he shall receive a reward;

If any one destroys the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God which you are is holy.

Know you not that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit in you which you have from God, and you are not your own?

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

Let each one continue, brothers, in the calling in which he was called under God.

and giving thanks broke, and said, This is my body, which is for you; this do in remembrance of me.

but much more those members of the body which seem to be weak are necessary,

and those which we esteem to be less honorable members of the body, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our uncomely members have more abundant comeliness,

for our comely ones have no need. But God has commingled the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which was lacking,

when the perfect has come, that which is in part shall pass away.

If any one thinks he is a prophet, or a spiritual man, let him acknowledge the [things] which I write to you, that they are the Lord's;

I DECLARE to you, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, in which also you stand,

by which also you are saved, if you adhere to the word we preached to you, unless indeed you believed in vain.

By the joy on account of you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

and what you sow, you sow not the body which shall be, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or some of the other grains;
