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

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.

Give no occasion to stumbling, whether to Jews, or Greeks, or the assembly of God.

For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit to it.

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 God has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.

He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the assembly.

Now I desire that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy. But greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

Thus ye also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly.

but in the assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

If therefore the whole assembly come together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and simple persons enter in, or unbelievers, will not they say ye are mad?

but if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in assembly.

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

The assemblies of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house, salute you much in the Lord.
