So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition from God.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman. But all things come from God.

Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

For in the first place, when you come together as a church I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

Now when you come together at the same place, you are not really eating the Lord's Supper.

For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that when you assemble it does not lead to judgment. I will give directions about other matters when I come.

but when what is perfect comes, the partial will be set aside.

Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I help you unless I speak to you with a revelation or with knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

So if the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and unbelievers or uninformed people enter, will they not say that you have lost your minds?

What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.

Did the word of God begin with you, or did it come to you alone?

But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits; then when Christ comes, those who belong to him.

Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he has brought to an end all rule and all authority and power.

But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?"

Fool! What you sow will not come to life unless it dies.

However, the spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.

On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income and save it to the extent that God has blessed you, so that a collection will not have to be made when I come.

But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia -- for I will be going through Macedonia --

Now if Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I am too.

So then, let no one treat him with contempt. But send him on his way in peace so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him with the brothers.

With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was simply not his intention to come now. He will come when he has the opportunity.

Let anyone who has no love for the Lord be accursed. Our Lord, come!

And with this confidence I intended to come to you first so that you would get a second opportunity to see us,

and through your help to go on into Macedonia and then from Macedonia to come back to you and be helped on our way into Judea by you.

Now I appeal to God as my witness, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

For if what was made ineffective came with glory, how much more has what remains come in glory!

But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that the extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.

So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away -- look, what is new has come!

Therefore "come out from their midst, and be separate," says the Lord, "and touch no unclean thing, and I will welcome you,

For if any of the Macedonians should come with me and find that you are not ready to give, we would be humiliated (not to mention you) by this confidence we had in you.

For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus different from the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the one you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it well enough!

Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, because I do not want your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

For I am afraid that somehow when I come I will not find you what I wish, and you will find me not what you wish. I am afraid that somehow there may be quarreling, jealousy, intense anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

I am afraid that when I come again, my God may humiliate me before you, and I will grieve for many of those who previously sinned and have not repented of the impurity, sexual immorality, and licentiousness that they have practiced.

I said before when I was present the second time and now, though absent, I say again to those who sinned previously and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare anyone,

yet we know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by the faithfulness of Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.

I do not set aside God's grace, because if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

But now that you have come to know God (or rather to be known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless basic forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?

This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you!

far above every rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

and to put on the new man who has been created in God's image -- in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth.

You must let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for the building up of the one in need, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Let nobody deceive you with empty words, for because of these things God's wrath comes on the sons of disobedience.

by fitting your feet with the preparation that comes from the good news of peace,

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

so that what you can be proud of may increase because of me in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you.

Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ so that -- whether I come and see you or whether I remain absent -- I should hear that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, by contending side by side for the faith of the gospel,

But these assets I have come to regard as liabilities because of Christ.

and be found in him, not because I have my own righteousness derived from the law, but because I have the righteousness that comes by way of Christ's faithfulness -- a righteousness from God that is in fact based on Christ's faithfulness.

that has come to you. Just as in the entire world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, so it has also been bearing fruit and growing among you from the first day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth.

these are only the shadow of the things to come, but the reality is Christ!

Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him).

in that our gospel did not come to you merely in words, but in power and in the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction (surely you recall the character we displayed when we came among you to help you).

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, when you received the message with joy that comes from the Holy Spirit, despite great affliction.

For the appeal we make does not come from error or impurity or with deceit,

because they hinder us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. Thus they constantly fill up their measure of sins, but wrath has come upon them completely.

For we wanted to come to you (I, Paul, in fact tried again and again) but Satan thwarted us.

But now Timothy has come to us from you and given us the good news of your faith and love and that you always think of us with affection and long to see us just as we also long to see you!

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

For you know quite well that the day of the Lord will come in the same way as a thief in the night.

Now when they are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will surely not escape.

He died for us so that whether we are alert or asleep we will come to life together with him.

when he comes to be glorified among his saints and admired on that day among all who have believed -- and you did in fact believe our testimony.

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.

But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you

For "physical exercise has some value, but godliness is valuable in every way. It holds promise for the present life and for the life to come."

Until I come, give attention to the public reading of scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.

and they will come to their senses and escape the devil's trap where they are held captive to do his will.

But understand this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

Make every effort to come to me soon.

When you come, bring with you the cloak I left in Troas with Carpas and the scrolls, especially the parchments.

Make every effort to come before winter. Greetings to you from Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters.

When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

For he did not put the world to come, about which we are speaking, under the control of angels.

For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself!

Therefore we must be wary that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it.

For when the priesthood changes, a change in the law must come as well.

So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship.

"Then I said, 'Here I am: I have come -- it is written of me in the scroll of the book -- to do your will, O God.'"

then he says, "Here I am: I have come to do your will." He does away with the first to establish the second.

By faith Noah, when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverent regard constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family. Through faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, that no one be like a bitter root springing up and causing trouble, and through him many become defiled.

For you have not come to something that can be touched, to a burning fire and darkness and gloom and a whirlwind

But you have come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the assembly

For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

You should know that our brother Timothy has been released. If he comes soon, he will be with me when I see you.
