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

who will also confirm you until the end, irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will frustrate the understanding of those of understanding.

For who has known the mind of Lord that he will stand with him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each man will receive his own payment according to his own labor.

each man's work will become manifest. For the day will make it known, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire will test each man's work of what kind it is.

If any man's work that he built on will remain, he will receive benefit.

If any man's work will be burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.

If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy this man, for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

Therefore do not judge anything before time, until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make public the deliberations of the hearts. And then praise will come to each man from God.

Because of this I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every congregation.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord should will, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

Or know ye not that the sanctified will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of very small legal disputes?

Know ye not that we will judge heavenly agents? Then why not mundane things?

I speak shame about you. So there is not among you not even one wise man who will be able to arbitrate between his brother?

Or know ye not that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not led astray. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate men, nor homosexuals,

nor greedy men, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the slanderous, nor the predatory will inherit the kingdom of God.

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under control by anything.

The foods are for the belly and the belly for foods, but God will abolish both this and these things. 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 raise us up through his power.

Or know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For, The two, he says, will be in one flesh.

For how do thou know, O wife, whether thou will save thy husband? Or how will thou know, O husband, whether thou will save thy wife?

But also if thou did marry thou have not sinned, and if the virgin married she has not sinned. Yet such kind will have stress in the flesh, but I spare you.

But I want you to be without worry. The unmarried man cares for things of the Lord, how he will please the Lord.

But he who is married cares for things of the world, how he will please his wife.

But he who stands firm in his heart, not having necessity, but has power based upon his own will, and has decided this in his heart, to keep his own celibacy, does well.

For if some man sees thee, who have knowledge, dining in an idol-temple, will not his conscience, being weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

And by thy knowledge the brother, being weak, will be ruined, for whom Christ died.

Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will no, not eat meat into the age, so that I may not cause my brother to stumble.

If we sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we will reap your carnal things?

No temptation has taken you except is common to man. But God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted above what ye are able, but with the temptation will also make the way to escape, to enable you to endure.

Therefore whoever may eat this bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily of the Lord, will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

And if any man is hungry, let him eat at home so that ye may not come together for condemnation. And the rest I will set in order as soon as I come.

Love never fails. But whether prophecies, they will be abolished, whether tongues, they will cease, whether knowledge, it will be abolished.

but when the perfect comes, then what is in part will be abolished.

For now we see by polished metal, in dimness, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know just as also I was known.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I benefit you, unless I would speak to you either in a revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in doctrine?

Likewise lifeless things that give a sound, whether flute or harp, if they give no distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is being piped or harped?

For also if a trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

So also ye, unless ye give understandable speech by the tongue, how will that which is spoken be known? For ye will be talking into the air.

If therefore I know not the force of the voice, I will be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.

What is it therefore? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the intellect also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the intellect also.

Otherwise if thou would bless with the spirit, how will the man who fills the place of the unlearned, say the Truly at thy thanksgiving, since he knows not what thou say?

In the law it is written, In other tongues and in other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear me, says Lord.

If therefore the whole congregation comes together in the same place, and all speak in tongues, and unlearned or unbelieving men come in, will they not say that ye are mad?

And so the secrets of his heart are made manifest. And so having fallen down on his face he will worship God, declaring that God is really among you.

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

Afterwards the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when he will abolishes all rule, and all authority and power.

For he must reign until he will put all his enemies under his feet.

And when all things are made subordinate to him, then the Son himself will also be made subordinate to him who subordinated all things to him, so that God may be all in all.

Otherwise what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?

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

And what thou sow, thou do not sow the body that it will become, but a bare grain, if it may happen of wheat, or of some other kind.

And just as we have worn the form of the earthly, we will also wear the form of the heavenly.

Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will actually not all sleep, but we will all be transformed,

in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For it will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be transformed.

But when this perishable will have put on imperishability, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written, Death was swallowed up in victory.

And when I arrive, whomever ye may approve by letters, I will send these men to bring your gift to Jerusalem.

And if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

But I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia, for I do pass through Macedonia.

And it may be that I will remain with you, or I will even spend winter, so that ye may set me on my way wherever I go.

But I will remain at Ephesus until Pentecost.

And about Apollos the brother, I urged him much that he would come to you with the brothers, and it was not at all his will that he should come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.
