who shall also confirm you to the end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, by whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;

But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought.

For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, who shall instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.

So that do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have his praise from God.

For who makes thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? but if also thou hast received, why boastest thou as not receiving?

For this reason I have sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in mind of my ways as they are in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those to judge who are little esteemed in the assembly.

I speak to you to put you to shame. Thus there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who shall be able to decide between his brethren!

Do ye not know that unrighteous persons shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men,

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.

But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having any:

But he who stands firm in his heart, having no need, but has authority over his own will, and has judged this in his heart to keep his own virginity, he does well.

A wife is bound for whatever time her husband lives; but if the husband be fallen asleep, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord.

yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol?

My defence to those who examine me is this:

Who ever carries on war at his own charges? who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? or who herds a flock and does not eat of the milk of the flock?

Do ye not know that they who labour at sacred things eat of the offerings offered in the temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar?

Know ye not that they who run in the race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain.

Now all these things happened to them as types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to bear, but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that ye should be able to bear it.

See Israel according to flesh: are not they who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?

Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this point I do not praise.

and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.

For also, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for war?

Since otherwise, if thou blessest with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the simple Christian say Amen, at thy giving of thanks, since he does not know what thou sayest?

So that tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to unbelievers; but prophecy, not to unbelievers, but to those who believe.

Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.

And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed those that are dead are not raised.

Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him who is God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.

For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, it is evident that it is except him who put all things in subjection to him.

But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)

but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
