rejoices not at unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

Love never fails; but whether there be prophecies, they will be done away; whether there be tongues, they will cease; whether there be knowledge, it will be done away.

but, when the complete comes, the partial will be done away.

for now we see through a mirror, obscurely; but then, face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall fully know, even as I also was fully known.

But now abides faith, hope, love; these three; and the greatest of these is love.

Pursue love; and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

For he that speaks in a tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

But he that prophesies speaks to men to edification and exhortation and comfort.

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

Now I wish you all to speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy; and greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edifying.

For, if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

For you, verily, give thanks well, but the other is not edified.

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

Brethren, do not be children in mind; yet in evil be babes, but in mind be full-grown.

Therefore, the tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophecy is a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

But, if all prophesy, and there come in one who is unbelieving or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all:

but, if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

But, if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence;

for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

Let the wives keep silence in the assemblies; for it is not permitted them to speak, but let them be in subjection, as also says the law.

but, if any is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

But let all things be done decently and in order.

after that He appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some fell asleep.

But by God's grace I am what I am; and His grace which was bestowed upon me did not prove vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

But, if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised;

But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the First fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

but each in his own rank; Christ, the First-fruit; then those who are Christ's at His coming.

for He put all things in subjection under His feet. But, when He saith, "All things have been put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted, Who subjected all things to Him.

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

and that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other kind;

but God giveth it a body, even as He willed, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is, indeed, one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial another.

And the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

Behold, I tell you a mystery: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

but thanks be to God, Who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

But I will remain at Ephesus until the Pentecost;

Let no one, therefore, despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I am expecting him with the brethren.

But concerning Apollos, the brother, I besought him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come now; but he will come, when he shall have opportunity.

But, whether we be in tribulation, it is for your consolation and salvation; or, whether we are consoled, it is for your consolation, which is effective in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer;

yea, we ourselves had in ourselves the sentence of death, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God, Who raiseth the dead;

For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

But, as God is faithful, our word to you is not "Yea" and "Nay."

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who was preached among you through us??hrough me and Sylvanus and Timothy??as not "Yea" and "Nay," "Nay," but in Him is "Yea."

But I invoke God as a witness upon my soul, that, as sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth.

Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy; for by faith ye have been standing.

But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

For, if I make you sorry, who, indeed, is he that makes me glad, but he that is made sorry by me?

For out of much tribulation and anguish of heart I wrote to you, through many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly toward you.

But, if any one has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.

I have had no relief in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but, bidding them adieu, I went forth into Macedonia.

But thanks be to God, Who always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of His knowledge in every place;

For we are not as the many, making merchandise of the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

being made manifest that ye are Christ's epistle ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

not that we are sufficient of ourselves to reckon anything as from ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God;

Who also qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit makes alive.

But, if the ministration of death, engraven in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look steadily upon the face of Moses on account of the glory of his face, which glory was passing away;

But their minds were unimpressible; for until this day upon the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted; which in Christ is done away.

But, until this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart.

But, whensoever it shall return to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

But we all, with unveiled face, reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transfigured into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

but we renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, not handling the word of God deceitfully; but, by the manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord; and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness may be of God, and not from ourselves;

So that death is working in us, but life in you.

But, having the same spirit of faith, according to what has been written, "I believed, therefore did I speak"; we believe, therefore also we speak;

Wherefore, we faint not; but even if our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.

while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

For, indeed, we who are in the tabernacle groan, being weighed down; not that we wish to be unclothed, but be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

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

We are not again commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have something suited to those who glory in appearance, and not in heart.

and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to Him Who died for them, and rose again.

But all things are of God, Who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

but in everything commending ourselves as God's ministers, in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,

Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections.

For even when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief; but we were in tribulation on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

But God, who consoleth the lowly, consoled us by the coming of Titus;

and not by his coming only, but also by the consolation with which he was consoled over you; rehearsing to us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more:

because, even if I did make you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it; for I see that that letter made you sorry, though but for a season.

Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us.

For godly sorrow works repentance unto salvation, not to be repented of; but the sorrow of the world works death.

So, although I wrote to you, it was not on account of him who did the wrong, nor of him who suffered wrong, but that your earnest care on our behalf might be manifested to you in the sight of God.

For this cause, we have been consoled; but, in our consolation, we rejoice the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

For, if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not made ashamed; but, as we spake all things to you in truth, so also our glorying before Titus was found to be truth.

and they did this not as we hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God;

But, as ye abound in everything??n faith, and speech, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us??ee that ye abound in this grace also.

I am not speaking by way of command; but as proving, through the diligence of others, the sincerity of your love.

And I give my judgment in this; for this is profitable for you, who, indeed, began before others, a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.

For it is not that there may be relief to others, but distress to you;

but, by the rule of equality, your abundance being a supply, at the present time, for their deficiency; that also their abundance may be a supply for your want, that there may be equality:

But thanks be to God Who putteth the same diligence for you into the heart of Titus.

For he accepted, indeed, our exhortation; but, being very earnest, he went forth to you of his own accord.

and not that only, but who was also appointed by the assemblies, as our fellow-traveler with this gift which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and our zeal;

for we provide things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

And we sent with them our brother, whom we often in many things proved to be diligent, but now much more diligent by reason of his great confidence in you.

But I sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that even as I said, ye may be prepared;

But I say this: He that sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he that sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully.

Because the ministry of this service not only fully supplies the deficiencies of the saints, but abounds also through many thanksgivings to God;

Now I, Paul, myself entreat you, through the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in your presence, indeed, am lowly among you; but, being absent, am bold toward you;

but I pray that, when present, I may not show courage with the confidence with which I purpose to be bold against some who reckon us as walking according to the flesh.
