who also shall confirm you unto the end -- unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

faithful is God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

and of Him ye -- ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

that, according as it hath been written, 'He who is glorying -- in the Lord let him glory.'

for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.

and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we -- we have the mind of Christ.

Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth -- God;

and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,

for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, 'Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'

for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in this have I been declared right -- and he who is discerning me is the Lord:

so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

for who doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why dost thou glory as not having received?

because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach.

and ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work,

for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so wrought this thing:

unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren!

have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? 'for they shall be -- saith He -- the two for one flesh.'

And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit;

flee the whoredom; every sin -- whatever a man may commit -- is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body doth sin.

and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away;

for he who is in the Lord -- having been called a servant -- is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ:

And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart -- not having necessity -- and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart -- to keep his own virgin -- doth well;

so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better.

A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will -- only in the Lord;

yet to us is one God, the Father, of whom are the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are the all things, and we through Him;

and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

My defence to those who examine me in this;

who doth serve as a soldier at his own charges at any time? who doth plant a vineyard, and of its fruit doth not eat? or who doth feed a flock, and of the milk of the flock doth not eat?

or because of us by all means doth He say it? yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading ought of his hope to partake in hope.

and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible;

And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come,

so that he who is thinking to stand -- let him observe, lest he fall.

No temptation hath taken you -- except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear it.

and if any one may say to you, 'This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' -- do not eat, because of that one who shewed it, and of the conscience, for the Lord's is the earth and its fulness:

for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink -- not discerning the body of the Lord.

and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.

for he who is speaking in an unknown tongue -- to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;

and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

he who is speaking in an unknown tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;

and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for battle?

if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner;

wherefore he who is speaking in an unknown tongue -- let him pray that he may interpret;

since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not known?

afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep;

for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God,

and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;

and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence,

for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,

and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.

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

and to God -- thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with us and labouring;

for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye, therefore, those who are such.
