Paul, a called apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

who will also make you steadfast to the end, so that ye may be without blame in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nought the discernment of the discerning."

And he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and each will receive his own reward, according to his own labor.

the work of every one will be made manifest; for the day will show it; because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will prove what every ones work is.

If the work which any one built thereon remaineth, he will receive reward;

if any ones work shall be burned up, he will lose the reward; but he will be saved himself, yet as one escaping through fire.

If any one defaceth the temple of God, God will deface him; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

So then judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the purposes of mens hearts; and then shall every one have his praise from God.

For this end I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved child, and faithful in the Lord, who will put you in mind of my ways in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every church.

But I shall come to you shortly, if it be the Lords will, and will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power;

What will ye? Am I to come to you with a rod, or in love, and the spirit of mildness?

But those who are without, God will judge. Do ye put away that bad man from among yourselves.

Or do ye not know, that the holy will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge in causes of the least importance?

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not one that will be able to judge between his brethren?

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

Meats are for the stomach, and the stomach for meats; but God will make an end of both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

and God both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his power.

But if thou hast married, thou hast committed no sin; and if a virgin hath married, she hath committed no sin. Such, however, will have trouble in the flesh, which I desire to spare you.

But if any one thinketh that he behaveth improperly in respect to his virgin [daughter], if she pass the flower of her age [without being married], and if it must be so, let him do what he will, he committeth no sin; let them marry.

But if any one is settled in his purpose, and is under no necessity, but is free to act as he will, and hath determined in his heart to keep his own virgin daughter [unmarried], he doeth well.

The wife is bound to her husband as long as he liveth; but if her husband die, she is free to marry whom she will, only in the Lord.

But food will not recommend us to God; if we do not eat, we are not the worse; nor if we do eat, are we the better.

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

Wherefore, if food cause my brother to fall, I will eat no flesh for ever, lest I cause my brother to fall. Am I not free?

No temptation hath come upon you, but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to endure, but will with the temptation furnish also the way to escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

So that whoever eateth the bread or drinketh the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty with respect to the body and the blood of the Lord.

If any one hunger, let him eat at home; that ye may not come together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

But all these worketh the one and selfsame Spirit, allotting to each one severally as it will.

Love never faileth; but whether there are prophesyings, they will come to an end; whether tongues, they will cease; whether knowledge, it will be done away.

but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part will be done away.

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

So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall that be known which is spoken? For ye will be speaking into the air.

How stands it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also; I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

In the Law it is written: "With men of other tongues and with other lips will I speak to this people,

and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord." Wherefore the tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers, but for believers.

If therefore the whole church be assembled in one place, and all be speaking with tongues, and there come in those who are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

the secrets of his heart become manifest; and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, and report that God is indeed within you.

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ will all be made alive.

Then will be the end, when he delivereth up the kingdom to God, the Father, when he shall have destroyed all dominion, and all authority, and power.

The last enemy, death, will be destroyed;

And when all things have been put under him, then will also the Son himself become subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

If with the views of men I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead rise not, "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

But some one will say, How are the dead to rise? and with what body do they come?

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass that which is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

And when I am with you, I will send with letters whomever you may approve to carry your bounty to Jerusalem;

Now I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia; for I am about to pass through Macedonia;

As regards Apollos, the brother, I urged him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come at this time; but he will come when he hath a convenient opportunity.
