so that, according as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord."

According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let every man be careful how he builds on it.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool so that he may be wise.

Therefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours,

So let a man think of us as ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Therefore let us keep the feast; not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? Let it not be!

But, because of the fornications, let each have his own wife, and let each have her own husband.

Let the husband give to the wife proper kindness, and likewise the wife also to the husband.

But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

But if she is indeed separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to leave his wife.

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to dwell with him, do not let him put her away.

And the woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is pleased to dwell with her, do not let her leave him.

But if the unbelieving one separates, let him be separated. A brother or a sister is not in bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.

Let each one remain in the calling in which he was called.

But if anyone thinks it behaving himself indecently toward his virgin (if she is past her prime, and so it ought to be) let him do what he will; he does not sin; let them marry.

Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them fornicated, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted Him and were destroyed by serpents.

So let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

Let no one seek his own, but each one another's.

For if the woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup.

But if anyone hungers, let him eat at home, so that you do not come together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

So then he speaking in a language, let him pray that he may interpret.

Then how is it, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be for building up.

If one speaks in a language, let it be by two, or at the most three, and in succession. And let one interpret.

But if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in a church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

And if there are two or three prophets, let them speak, and let the others judge.

If a revelation is revealed to another sitting by, let the first be silent.

Let your women be silent in the churches; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the Law also says.

And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in a church.

If anyone thinks to be a prophet, or a spiritual one, let him recognize the things I write to you, that they are a commandment of the Lord.

But if any is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

Let all things be done decently and in order.

If according to man I fought with beasts in Ephesus, what advantage is to me if the dead are not raised? "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

On the first of the sabbaths let each of you put by himself, storing up what ever he is prospered, so that there may be no collections when I come.

Therefore let not any despise him, but set him forward in peace, so that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brothers.

Let all your things be done in charity.

If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes!

Let my love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Then having these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Each one, as he purposes in his heart, let him give; not of grief, or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Do you look at things according to appearance? If anyone has persuaded himself that he is Christ's, let him think this again as to himself, that as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's.

Let such a one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters, being absent, such we will be also in deed when we are present.

But he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.

Again I say, Let no one think me foolish. If otherwise, yet receive me as foolish, so that I may also boast a little.

And I was let down in a basket through a window through the wall, and escaped their hands.

But let it be so, I did not burden you. But being crafty, I caught you with bait.

But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed.

As we said before, and now I say again, If anyone preaches a gospel to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed.

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we also were found to be sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Let it not be said!

Is the Law then against the promises of God? Let it not be said! For if a law had been given which could have given life, indeed righteousness would have been out of Law.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not become glory-seeking, provoking one another, envying one another.

But let each one prove his own work, and then he alone will have a boast in himself, and not in another.

But let him who is taught in the Word share with the one teaching in all good things.

So then as we have time, let us work good toward all, especially toward those of the household of faith.

For the rest, let no one give troubles to me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.

Therefore putting away lying, let each man speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

Be angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down upon your wrath,

Let him who stole steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, so that he may have something to give to him who needs.

Let not any filthy word go out of your mouth, but if any is good to building up in respect of need, that it may give grace to the ones hearing.

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and tumult and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

For let fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness not be once named among you, as becomes saints,

Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.

Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

But also let everyone of you in particular so love his wife even as himself, and the wife that she defers to her husband.

Only let your conduct be as becomes the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you, or else am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.

Do not let each man look upon his own things, but each man also on the things of others.

For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be of this mind. And if in anything you are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you.

Yet, as to what we have already attained, let us walk in the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Therefore let no one judge you in food or in drink, or in respect of a feast, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths.

Let no one defraud you, delighting in humility and worship of the angels, intruding into things which he has not seen, without a cause being vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you also are called in one body, and be thankful.

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Let your speech be always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Therefore let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be calm.

But let us, who are of the day, be calm, having put on the breastplate of faith and love and the hope of salvation for a helmet.

Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

And let these also first be tested, then let them minister without reproach.

Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and households well.

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to be godly to their own house, and give back to their forebears what is due them; for that is good and pleasing before God.

Do not let a widow be enrolled having become less than sixty years old, the wife of one man,

If any believing man or believing woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the church be charged, so that it may relieve those who are widows indeed.

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in Word and doctrine.

Let as many slaves as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name and doctrine of God may not be blasphemed.

And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brothers. But rather let them serve, because they are faithful and beloved, those of the good service receiving in return. Teach and exhort these things.

Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal: "The Lord knew those who are His." And, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity!"

Let the aged women likewise be in reverent behavior, not slanderers, not enslaved by much wine, teachers of good;

Speak these things, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, so that they may not be unfruitful.

And again, when He brings in the First-born into the world, He says, "And let all the angels of God worship Him."

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
