If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

And if all were one member, where were the body?

And whether one member suffer, all the members might suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members might rejoice with it.

Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? have all miraculous powers?

Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

And though I give all my goods to feed the poor, and deliver up my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

Covereth all things,

believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied; for he that prophesieth, is greater than he that speaketh with tongues, unless he interpret, that the church may receive edification.

And if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle?

So likewise unless ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? For ye will speak to the air.

Yet if I know not the meaning of the language, I shall be a barbarian to him that speaketh, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian to me.

What then is my duty? I will pray with the Spirit; but I will pray with the understanding also; I will sing with the Spirit; but I will sing with the understanding also.

For thou verily givest thanks well; yet the other is not edified.

I thank God, that I speak with tongues more than you all.

It is written in the law, In foreign tongues and with foreign lips will I speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.

Yet if the whole church be met together, and all speak with unknown tongues, and there come in ignorant persons or unbelievers, will they not say, that ye are mad?

Whereas if all prophesy, and there come in an unbeliever, or an ignorant person, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all:

The secrets of his heart are made manifest, and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, and declare that God is among you of a truth.

Let all things be done to edification. If any one speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two or three at most, and that by course, and let one interpret.

For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Let all things be done decently and in order.

After this he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

Last of all he was seen by me also, as an untimely birth.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain, but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all men.

For as through Adam all die, even so through Christ shall all be made alive.

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

The last enemy that is destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet.

But when he saith, All things are put under him, it is manifest that he who did put all things under him is excepted.

But when all things shall be put under him, then shall the Son himself also be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Else what shall they do, who are baptized for the dead? If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for them?

But some one will say, How are the dead raised? And with what body do they come?

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

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

And when I am come, whomsoever ye shall approve, them will I send with letters, to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

Now I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia,

For I will not see you now in my way; but hope to stay some time with you, if the Lord permit.

But I will stay at Ephesus till Pentecost.

As to our brother Apollos, I besought him much, to come to you with the brethren; yet he was by no means willing to come now; but he will come, when it shall be convenient.

Let all your affairs be done in love.

All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with an holy kiss.

My love be with you all in

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort,

Who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any affliction, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust, that he will still deliver:

For we write no other things to you, but what ye know and acknowledge, and I trust will acknowledge even to the end.

For all the promises of God are yea in him, and amen in him, to the glory of God by us.

And I wrote thus to you, that I might not when I come have grief from those for whom I ought to rejoice; being persuaded concerning you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

And if any have caused grief, he hath grieved me but in part, that I may not overburden you all.

For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye were obedient in all things.

Ye are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by all men:

And we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image, from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus, will also raise us up by Jesus, and present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes, that the overflowing grace might through the thanksgiving of many abound to the glory of God.

While we aim not at the things that are seen, but the things that are not seen: for the things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are not seen are eternal.

Therefore we always behave undauntedly; knowing that while we are sojourning in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

Therefore we are ambitious, whether present, or absent, to be well-pleasing to him.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive according to what he hath done in the body, whether good or evil.

For the love of Christ constraineth us, while we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

And that he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and rose again.

Therefore if any one be in Christ, there is a new creation: the old things are passed way; behold, all things are become new:

And all things are from God, who hath reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation: Namely,

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed, But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God,

Through honour and dishonour, through evil report and good report; as deceivers, yet true, As unknown, yet well-known;

As sorrowing, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing all things.

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? Now ye are the temple of the living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

Therefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean person, saith the Lord, and I will receive you,

And will be to you a Father, and ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Having therefore, beloved, these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from all pollution of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Great is my freedom of speech toward you; great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I exceedingly abound with joy, over all our affliction.

For behold, this very thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly manner, what diligence it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge? In all things ye have approved yourselves to be pure in this matter.

Therefore we were comforted in your comfort, and we rejoiced the more exceedingly in the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

So that if I had boasted any thing of you to him, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so also our boasting to Titus is found a truth.

And his tender affection is more abundant toward you, calling to mind the obedience of you all, how ye received him with fear and trembling.

I rejoice therefore, that I have confidence in you in all things.

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

Therefore as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.

Now therefore compleat the work, that as there was a ready will, so there may be also a performance, in proportion to what ye have.

And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is through all the churches: (And not only so,

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that having always all sufficiency in all things, ye may abound to every good work:

Being inriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which worketh by us thanksgiving to God.

(Who, by experiment of this administration, glorify God for your avowed subjection to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal communication to them and to all men.)

And being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, now your obedience is fulfilled.

But we will not boastingly extend ourselves beyond our measure; but according to the measure of the providence, which God hath allotted us, a measure to reach even unto you.

If indeed he that cometh preach another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another Spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

For if I am unskilful in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly manifest to you in all things.

For the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my want; and I have in all things kept myself from being burdensom, and will keep myself.

Because I love you not? God knoweth. But what I do, I will do, that I may cut off the occasion from them who desire occasion, that wherein they boast, they may be found even as we.

Seeing many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

Beside the things which are from without, that which rusheth upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
