Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

but we come preaching a crucified Messiah??o Jews a stumbling-block, to Greeks foolishness,

I came to you in [a state of] weakness and fear and great trembling.

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;

Which, none of the rulers of this age had come to know, for, had they known, not, in that case, the Lord of the glory, would they have crucified!

but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,

For who of men knoweth the things of a man, - save the spirit of the man that is in him? thus, even the things of God, hath no one come to know, save the Spirit of God.

For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord, that shall instruct him? But, we, have, the mind of Christ.

Who is Apollos, anyhow? Or who is Paul? They're merely servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord gave to each of us his task.

the true character of each individual's work will become manifest. For the day of Christ will disclose it, because that day is soon to come upon us clothed in fire, and as for the quality of every one's work-- the fire is the thing which will test it.

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have come to reign without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

God, it seems to me, has exhibited us Apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; for we have come to be a spectacle to all creation--alike to angels and to men.

when slandered, we try to conciliate. We have come to be regarded as the mere dirt and filth of the world--the refuse of the universe, even to this hour.

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

For I myself, being present in spirit though not in body, have come to a decision about him who has done this thing;

In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you have come together with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

not at all with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and the extortioners, or with the idolators; since you ought therefore to come out of the world.

Do you not know the saints are to manage the world? If the world is to come under your jurisdiction, are you incompetent to adjudicate upon trifles?

I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there does not exist among you a single wise man competent to decide between a man and his brother,

I am free to do all things; but not all things are wise. I am free to do all things; but I will not let myself come under the power of any.

And God who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead will do the same for us by his power.

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

But, if, the unbelieving, departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister hath not come into bondage, in such cases, but, in peace, hath God called us.

Only, everyone must lead the lot assigned him by the Lord; he must go on living the life in which God's call came to him. (Such is the rule I lay down for all the churches).

Let every one remain in that condition of life in which he was when the Call came to him.

I think, then, that, in view of the time of suffering that has now come upon us, what I have already said is best-that a man should remain as he is.

And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.

If anyone imagines that he knows and understands anything [of divine matters, without love], he has not yet known as he ought to know.

yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom everything came into being and for whom we live. And there is only one Lord, Jesus the Messiah, through whom everything came into being and through whom we live.

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy].

no, but that the things that the nations sacrifice -- they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.

For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God.

Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

Yes, indeed, there must be parties among you, in order that people of approved fitness may come to the front among you.

When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

they will come to an end;
as for languages, they will cease;

Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

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

But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

Should a revelation come to one who is seated, the first speaker must be quiet.

What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me;

But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.

Now if the good news says that Christ came back from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no coming back from the dead?

But if there is no coming back from the dead, then Christ has not come back from the dead:

And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect.

Yes, and we are seen to be false witnesses of God; because we gave witness of God that by his power Christ came again from the dead: which is not true if there is no coming back from the dead.

For if it is not possible for the dead to come to life again, then Christ has not come to life again:

But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life.

Then the end will come, when after he has done away with every ruler and every authority and power, the Messiah hands over the kingdom to God the Father.

Come back to your senses as you should, and stop sinning! For some of you I say this to your shame don't fully know God.

But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

You fool! Every time you plant seed you sow something that does not come to life [germinating, springing up and growing] unless it first dies.

And, what thou sowest, not the body that shall come into existence, dost thou sow, but a naked kernel - if it so happen, of wheat, or of any of the rest, -

However, the spiritual [the immortal life] is not first, but the physical [the mortal life]; then the spiritual.

The first man came from the dust of the earth; the second man came from heaven.

Just as earthly people are like the man who came from dust; so heavenly people are like the man who came from heaven.

And just as we [now] appear [in both a physical and spiritual body] like the man who came from dust [i.e., Adam]; we will also [someday] appear [in both a physical(?) and spiritual body] like the man who came from heaven [i.e., Christ].

See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.

In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed.
