even to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is both their Lord and ours;

who will also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

for God is faithful by whom ye were called into the communion of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.

For the doctrine of the cross is to them, that perish, foolishness: but to us, who are saved, it is the power of God.

But ye are of Him in Christ Jesus, who from God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

Yet we speak true wisdom among the perfect: though not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought.

For who among men knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? so also the things of God no one knoweth, but the Spirit of God.

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

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whose means ye embraced the faith, even as the Lord gave success to each of them?

Wherefore judge nothing before the time; even until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every one have praise from God.

For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou, which thou didst not receive? And if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?

For this end have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son and faithful in the Lord, who will bring to your remembrance my ways in Christ, how I teach every where in every church.

And are ye puffed up, and have not rather grieved? that he who hath committed this fact might be expelled from among you?

For I indeed, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already, as if I were present, judged him who hath wrought this wickedness: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

But those who are without, God judgeth: and therefore put away the wicked one from among you.

Therefore if ye have controversies about the things of this life, do ye set them to judge, who are despised by the church?

God forbid! What! know ye not that he who is joined to an harlot is one body with her? for these two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

But this I say, brethren, that the time is short: it remains therefore, that even those, who have wives, be as though they had none;

So that he, who giveth her in marriage, doth well; but he, that giveth her not in marriage, doth better.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth: but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord:

and lords many,) yet to us there is but one God the Father, from whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him.

For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be encouraged to eat of the things sacrificed to idols?

and so the weak brother, for whom Christ died, shall perish by thy knowledge?

Who ever goes a warfare at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and doth not eat of the fruit of it? or who feedeth a flock, and doth not eat of the milk of the flock?

or doth He say this indeed for our sakes? For it is certainly written for our sakes, that he, who ploweth, might plow in hope; and that he, who thresheth in hope, should partake of his hope.

Do ye not know, that they who are employed about the sacrifices have their food from the temple? and they, who attend at the altar, are partakers with the altar?

So also the Lord hath ordained, that those who preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel.

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; that is, to those, who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law:

and to those without the law as without the law, (not being without law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain those who are without the law.

Know ye not, that those, who run in a race, do all indeed run, but one only receiveth the prize? So run that ye may obtain.

Now all these things happened to them as examples: and are written for our admonition, on whom the last ages are come.

No temptation has yet taken you but what is common to man: and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to sustain; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol,---eat it not; for his sake who informed thee, and for conscience-sake: for, as I said, the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof, so that thou mayst have food enough without it.

Every man praying or prophesying, having a veil on his head, dishonoureth Him who is his head.

For there must be even heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.

but it is the same God who worketh them all in every one.

For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle?

after that He appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain yet alive, but some are fallen asleep.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses concerning God, for we have testified of God, that He raised up Christ; whom He did not raise up, if indeed the dead do not rise.

for He hath put all things under his feet. But when He saith that all things are put under Him, it is plain that we are to except Him who put all things under Him.

Besides, what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why then are they baptized for the dead?

but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
