Render therefore to all their due: tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour.

Owe no man any thing, but to love another; for he that loveth another, hath fulfilled the law.

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

And do this, knowing the season, that it is high time now to awake out of sleep; for salvation is nearer to us now, then when we first believed.

The night is far spent; the day is at hand, let us therefore put off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light.

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the desires thereof.

For one believeth, that he may eat all things; another who is weak, eateth herbs.

Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him that eateth not, judge him that eateth; for God hath received him.

Who art thou that judgest another's servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be upheld; for God is able to establish him.

He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord; for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself. But if we live, we live unto the Lord; and if we die, we die unto the Lord.

For to this end Christ both died and lived again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

But if thy brother is grieved by thy meat, thou no longer walkest charitably. Destroy not him by thy meat, for whom Christ died.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure: but it is evil to that man who eateth with offence.

But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because it is not of faith; for whatsoever is not of faith, is sin.

Let every one of us please his neighbour, for his good, to edification.

For Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.

For whatsoever things were written aforetime, were written for our instruction, that we, through patience and consolation of the scriptures, may have hope.

Now I say, Christ Jesus was a servant of the circumcision, for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

For I will not dare to speak of any thing which Christ hath not done by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, Through mighty signs and wonders,

by the power of the Spirit, so that I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ, from Jerusalem round about, as far as Illyricum.

But now having no longer place in these parts, and having had a great desire for many years to come to you, Whenever I go into Spain, I will come to you;

for I hope to see you as I pass by, and to be brought forward by you in my way thither, if first I may be somewhat satisfied with your company.

But I am now going to Jerusalem, serving the saints. For it hath

pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a collection for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem.

It hath pleased them, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have partook of their spiritual things, they ought to minister to them in carnal things.

in your prayers to God for me, That I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service at Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints:

That ye may receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and assist her in whatsoever business she needeth you: for she hath been an helper of many, and of myself also.

Who for my life, have laid down their own necks; to whom not I alone owe my thanks, but likewise all the churches of the Gentiles.

For such serve not the Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple.

For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore on your behalf; but I would have you wise with regard to that which is good, and simple with regard to that which is evil.

made known to all nations for the obedience of faith) To the only wise God, to him be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen!

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Christ Jesus:

waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will also confirm you to the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of the Lord Jesus Christ.

For it hath been declared to me of you, my brethren, by them of the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you?

I know not that I baptized any other. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; but not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

For the doctrine of the cross is indeed to them that perish foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and abolish the understanding of the prudent.

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

For whereas the Jews demand signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom, We preach Christ crucified,

For I determined not to know any thing among you save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

which God ordained before the world for our glory;

Which none of the rulers of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit; for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it: nor are ye now able.

For ye are still carnal: for while there is among you emulation, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?

For while one saith, I am of Paul,

For we are fellow-labourers of God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

For other foundation can no man lay, than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ: And if any one build on this foundation, gold, silver, costly stones;

for the day shall declare it: for it is revealed by fire; yea the fire shall try every one's work, of what sort it is.

If any one's work shall be burnt, he shall suffer loss, but himself shall be saved, yet so as through the fire.

If any man destroy the temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; as it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Therefore let none glory in men; for all things are yours:

For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

These things, brethren, I have by a figure transferred to myself and Apollos, for your sakes; that ye may learn in us, not to think of men above what is here written, that ye may not be puffed up for one above another.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou which thou hast not received? But if thou hast received it, why dost thou boast, as if thou hadst not received it?

For I think God hath set forth us the apostles last, as appointed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

We are fools for Christ's sake; but ye are wise in Christ: we are weak; but ye are strong: ye are honourable; but we are despised.

For if ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers; for I have begotten you in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

For this cause I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.

For I verily as absent in body, but present in spirit, have already,

with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened; for our passover is slain for us, even Christ:

But not altogether with the lewd persons of this world, or the covetous, or the rapacious, or idolaters, for then ye must go out of the world.

For what have I to do, to judge them also that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within?

All things are lawful for me; but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats; yet God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

God forbid. Know ye not, that he who is joined to an harlot is one body? For they two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

And ye are not your own: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God with your body and your spirit, which are God's.

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote to me, It is good for a man, not to touch a woman.

Withdraw not from each other, unless it be by consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to prayer, and may come together again, lest Satan tempt you through your incontinence.

But I say this by way of advice, not by way of precept. For I would that all men were even as myself:

But to the unmarried and the widows I say, It is good for them, if they remain even as I.

But if they have not power over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

For the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified by the wife; and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified by the husband. Else were your children unclean; but now they are holy.

For how knowest thou, O wife, but thou mayst save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, but thou mayst save thy wife?

Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou canst be made free, use it rather.

For he that is called by the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman; and in like manner, he that is called being free, is the servant of Christ.

I apprehend therefore, that this is good for the present distress, that it is good for a man to continue as he is.

and they that buy, as if they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it; for the fashion of this world passeth away: Now I would have you without carefulness.

The unmarried man careth for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.

But the married careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit: but the married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

And this I say for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare upon you, but that ye may decently wait upon the Lord without distraction.

Now as to things sacrified to idols, we know: for all of us have knowledge.

For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are many gods and many lords) Yet to us there is but one God,

the Father from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

But there is not in all men this knowledge; for some do even until now, with consciousness of the idol, eat it as sacrificed to the idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
