And the ignoble things of the world, and the despised things, has God chosen, and things not being, that the things being he might leave unemployed:

That no flesh might boast before him.

That your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

And we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit from God; that we might know things bestowed upon us as a gift by God.

And these things, brethren, I transformed to myself and to Apollos for you; that ye might learn in us not to think above what has been written, lest ye be puffed up one above one against the other.

Already were ye satisfied, already were ye rich, without us ye reigned; and I would ye also reigned, that we also might reign together with you.

And ye were puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he having done this work might be taken away from the midst of you.

To deliver such a one to Satan for the ruin of the flesh, that the spirit might be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Deprive ye not one another, except somewhat of an agreement for a time, that ye might have leisure for fasting and prayer; and again upon the same ye might come together, lest Satan tempt you for your want of self command.

The wife and virgin have been divided. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she might be holy also in body and spirit: and she married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.

But I used none of these things: and I wrote not these things, that thus it might be with me: for good to me rather to die, than that any should render my boasting void.

For being free from all, I have subjected myself to all, that I might gain the more.

And I was to the Jews as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: to them under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them under the law;

To the lawless, as lawless, (not being lawless to God, but subject to the law to Christ,) that I might gain the lawless,

I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak: I have been all things to all, that altogether I might save some.

And this. I do on account of the good news, that I might become a partaker of it.

Do ye not know that they running in a race-course, all truly run, and one receives the prize of combat? Do ye so run, that ye might receive.

And every one contending for the prize, has self command in all things. These surely therefore that they might receive a corruptible crown; and we an incorruptible.

As I also please in all things to all, not seeking my advantage, but that of many, that they might be saved.

For there must be also sects among you, that the tried might be made manifest among you.

Pursue love, and be emulous of spiritual things, and rather that ye might prophesy.

Wherefore he speaking in a tongue, let, him pray that he might interpret.

But in the church, I will to speak five words by my mind, that I might also sound. in the ears of others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

And so the hidden things of his heart are made manifest; and so having fallen upon the face, he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly with you.

For ye are all able to prophesy one by one, that all might learn, and all might be encouraged.

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

And when all things be subjected to him, then also shall the Son himself be subjected to him having made all things subject to him, that God might be all things in all.

Froth, what thou sowest is not made alive, except it die:

The first man of earth, made of earth: the second man the Lord from heaven.

As the made of earth, such also the made of earth: and as the celestial, such also the celestial.

And as we have borne the image of the made of earth, we shall also bear the image of the celestial.

And perhaps with you I shall abide, or also pass the winter, that ye might send me forward wherever I go.

Therefore no one should despise him: and send ye him forward in peace, that he might come to me: for I expect him with the brethren.

And in this confidence I wished to come to you before, that ye might have a second grace;

For out of much pressure and anxiety of heart I wrote to you through many tears; not that ye should be 'grieved, but that ye might know the love I have more abundantly towards you.

And if any have grieved, he has not grieved me, but by part; that I might not overload you all.

For, for this I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, if ye are obedient for all things.

That we might not be taken advantage of by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his inventions.

Made manifest that ye are the epistle of Christ served by us, not written with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables made of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.

Always bearing about in the body the death of the Lord Jesus, that also the life of Jesus be made manifest in our body.

For we, the living, are always delivered to death for Jesus, that also the life of Jesus be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

For all things for you, that grace, having abounded by the many, might abound in thanksgiving to the glory of God.

For we know that if our earthly house of the tent were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of Christ; that each might receive the things for the body, for what he did, good or bad.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; and we are made manifest to God; and I hope also to have been made manifest to your consciences.

For not again do we recommend ourselves to you, but giving you occasion for boasting over us, that ye might have for them boasting in face, and not in heart.

For him not knowing sin, he made sin for us; that we might be the justice of God in him.

Wherefore, if I also wrote to you, not for him having been unjust, for him having suffered injustice, but that your care for us might be made manifest to you before God.

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for you he was in a state of beggary, being rich; that ye in his poverty might be rich.

And I sent the brethren, lest our boasting for you be empty in this part; that, as I said, ye might be prepared:

And, if also ignorant in the word, but not in knowledge; but in every thing, we having been made manifest in all for you.

Or did I a sin, humbling myself that ye might be exalted, because I announced to you the good news of God gratuitously?

Again I say, lest any one should think me to be mad; and if not so indeed, as mad do ye receive me that I might also boast myself some little.

For ye bear with the mad willingly, being wise.

Thrice was I scourged with rods, once was I stoned, thrice suffered I shipwreck, I have made a night and day in the deep;

For if I be willing to boast, I shall not be mad; for the truth will I say: and I spare, lest any reckon for me above what he sees me, or what he hears of me.

And lest I be lifted up by the eminence of Revelation, a thorn in the flesh was given me, a messenger of Satan, that he might cuff me, lest I be lifted up.

I have been mad boasting; ye forced me: for I ought to have been recommended by you: for I was not greatly inferior to the sent, if also I am nothing.

Having given himself for our sins, that he might take us away out of this present evil time, according to the will of God and our Father:

To reveal his Son in me, that I might announce him the good news in the nations; I consulted not with flesh and blood:

And through false brethren introduced privately, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might reduce us to slavery:

To whom we yielded in subjection, not for an hour; that the truth of the good news might remain with you.

Knowing that a man is not justified from the works of the law, but through faith of Jesus Christ, and we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified from the faith of Christ, and not from the works of the law: therefore from the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

For I through the law died to the law, that. I might live to God.

That the praise of Abraham might be to the nations in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

But the writing shut up all things under sin, that the promise from faith of Jesus Christ might be given to the believing.

So that the law was our preceptor towards Christ, that we might be justified from faith.

That he might redeem them under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

They are zealous for you, not well; but they wish to exclude you, that ye might be zealous for them.

For neither they being circumcised themselves observe the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they might boast in your flesh.

Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his benevolence which he purposed in himself:

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, might give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in his knowledge:

And what the surpassing greatness of his power to us believing, according to the action of the might of his strength,

And we being dead in faults, he made alive together with Christ, (by grace are ye saved;)

That he might show in times coming the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

Wherefore remember, that ye then the nations in the flesh, being reckoned Uncircumcision by the Circumcision in the flesh reckoned made by hands;

For he is our peace, having made both one, and having loosed the middle partition wall of the enclosure;

The enmity in his flesh, the law of commands in enactments, having left unemployed; that he might create in himself one new man, making peace;

And that he might reconcile anew both in one body to God by the cross, having slain the eninity in it:

That by revelation he made Known to me the mystery; (as I before wrote briefly,

Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as now has been revealed to his holy sent and to the prophets by the Spirit:

That it might now be made known to beginnings and powers in the heavenlies by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

According to the purpose of times immemorial which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord:

That he might give to you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the interior man;

That ye might be fully able to comprehend with all the holy what the length, and breadth, and depth, and height;

To know also the love of Christ, surpassing knowledge, that ye might be filled in all the fulness of God.

Wherefore he says, Having ascended into height, he made captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.

He having descended is the same having ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill up all things.)

For you to put away according to the former mode of life the old man, corrupted according to the eager desires of deceit;

Let not any foul word go out of your mouth, but if any good to the building of necessity, that it might give grace to them hearing.

And all things refuted, by light are made manifest: for everything made manifest is light.

That he might consecrate it, having cleansed by the washing of water in the word,

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it be holy and blameless.

Knowing that whatever good each might do, this he shall receive from the Lord, whether a servant or free.

For this take up the complete armor of God, that ye might be able to withstand in the evil day, and having effected all things, to stand.

And for me, that the word might be given me, in the opening of my mouth in freedom of speech, to make known the mystery of the good news,

For which I am an ambassador in perplexity: that in it I might speak freely, as I ought to speak.

And that ye also might know the things concerning me, what I do, Tychicus will make all things known to you, the dearly beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord:

Whom I sent to you for this same, that ye might know the things concerning us, and he might comfort your hearts.

Therefore I sent him the more earnestly, that, seeing him, ye might again rejoice, and I be more free from sorrow.
