But if they will learn any thing, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

afterwards he appeared before five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater number remain alive unto this hour, but some also are gone to rest.

And last of all he was seen also by me, who am but as an abortion.

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

But if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither is Christ risen:

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

But every one in his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are Christ's at his appearing.

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

For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, that all things are put under him, it is evident that there is an exception of him, who subjected all things to him.

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

But will any man say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body which shall be afterwards, but the bare grain, perhaps of wheat, or of some of the other seeds:

but God giveth it a body as he pleaseth, and to each of the seeds its peculiar body.

All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, and another flesh of cattle, and another of fishes, and another of birds.

Also there are celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial another.

But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual.

But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God: neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not indeed all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

For that which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and that which is mortal must put on immortality.

So when that which is corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and that which is mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying which is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

But when I come, whosoever you shall approve by letters, those will I send to carry your charity to Jerusalem.

But if it be of importance that I should go also, they shall go with me.

For I will not see you now in passing, but I hope to remain some considerable time with you if the Lord permit.

But I shall abide at Ephesus until the Pentecost:

But if Timothy come, see that he may be among you without fear: for he worketh the Lord's work, as I also do.

Let no man therefore treat him with disrespect; but forward him on his way in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

As concerning brother Apollos, I besought him much that he would come to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his wish to come at this time: but he will come when he can find a good opportunity.

But whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectually wrought by patient endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer; or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

for we ourselves, in ourselves have received the sentence of death, that we should have no confidence in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead.

For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and peculiarly towards you.

But as sure as God is true, our word to you was not yea and nay.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us??y me and Silvanus and Timotheus??as not yea and nay, but there was yea in him;

who also hath put his seal upon us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

But I appeal to God as a witness unto my soul, that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth:

not that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow-helpers of your joy; for by faith ye stand.

BUT I prescribed to myself this rule, not to come again to you with sorrow.

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

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears, not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly towards you.

Now if any person hath given cause for grief, he hath not grieved me [merely], but partly all of you; that I may add no farther burden.

But to whomsoever ye forgive any thing, so do I; and if I forgive any thing, to whom I forgive, for your sakes I do it, in the person of Jesus Christ,

But when I came to Troas to preach the Gospel of Christ, though a door was opened unto me by the Lord,

But thanks be to God, who causeth us always to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

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

because ye are manifestly seen to be the letter of Christ, of which we have been the secretaries, written not with ink, but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tables of stone, but on the fleshly tables of the heart.

not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account any thing of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God.

Who hath made us also able ministers of the new testament, not of the letter but of the spirit; for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

But their understandings were darkened: for unto this day the same veil in their reading the old testament abideth unremoved; which veil is taken away by Christ.

but have renounced all shameful secret practices, not conducting ourselves with artifice, nor deceitfully disguising the word of God, but by clear manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience as in the presence of God.

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

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the transcendent excellence of the power might be of God, and not of us.

persecuted, yet not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;

Wherefore death indeed is working in us, but life in you.

whilst we direct our aim not to the things which are seen, but to the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things that are not seen are eternal.

For we which are in this tabernacle, groan, being burdened; wherein we desire not to be unclothed, but clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.

But he that hath wrought us for this very thing is God, who also hath given us the earnest of the spirit.

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

For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have an answer for those who glory in countenance, and not in heart.

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

But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

but in every thing approving ourselves as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,

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

For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side; without were fightings; within were fears.

But God that comforteth the lowly comforted us by the coming of Titus:

and not by his coming only, but also by the consolation wherewith he had been comforted among you, declaring to us your fervent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.

For if I grieved you by a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that this letter made you sorry, though but for a season.

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

For sorrow of a godly sort worketh repentance unto salvation never to be repented of, but worldly sorrow worketh death.

And indeed though I wrote unto you, I did it not [merely] for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause who had suffered the injury, but that our diligent attention for you might be more abundantly manifested to you in the presence of God.

For if I have boasted of you to him in any thing, I am not ashamed; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so our boasting of you to Titus hath been found truth.

And not [merely] as we hoped, but gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us according to the will of God.

I speak not by commandment, but because of the forwardness of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love.

And in this I give my opinion: for this is expedient for you, who have before begun not only to do, but also to be willing a year ago.

but that according to equality, your abundance on the present occasion should afford a supply for their deficiency, that their abundance also may supply your deficiency, that there may be equality.

But thanks be to God, who put the same solicitude for you into the heart of Titus.

For he received in deed the exhortation, but being more diligent, of his own ready mind he went unto you.

and not only so, but who was chosen by the churches as my fellow-traveller with this charity, ministered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and [to shew] your ready mind.

providing what is fair, not only before the Lord, but also before men.

And we have sent with him our brother, whom we have often experienced in many things to be a man of diligence, but now much more diligent, through the great confidence which I have in you.

But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying in you might not be vain in this matter; that as I have said, ye may be prepared.

But this I add, He that soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly, and he that soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully.

For the ministration of this [charitable] service not only abundantly supplies the deficiencies of the saints, but also overflows with many thanksgivings to God;

NOW I Paul myself exhort you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who, when present, am indeed lowly among you, but being absent, am bold towards you.

But I pray, that when I am present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I purpose to act resolutely against some who think of us, as if we walked after the flesh.

for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the casting down the strong holds [of corruption];

For his letters indeed, say they, are weighty and forcible, but his bodily presence is feeble, and his speech contemptible.

For we will not presume to put ourselves on the level, or compare ourselves with some who vaunt themselves; but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, have no understanding.

But we will not glory in things beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath marked out for us?? measure that hath reached even unto you.

not boasting ourselves unmeasurably in other men's labours; but having hope that when your faith is increased, we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule for more abundant usefulness,

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

For not he who commendeth himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commendeth.

But I fear lest as the serpent beguiled Eve by his craftiness, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity which belongs to Christ.

For though I may be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but on every occasion we have been made manifest in all things among you.

But what I do, I will do also, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire occasion, that wherein they boast, they may be found even as we.

I repeat it again, Let no man suppose that I am a fool; but if otherwise, then as a fool receive me, that I too may boast myself a little.

What I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as it were in folly in this confidence of boasting.

I speak with reference to the reproach [cast on me], as though we were feeble; but wherein any man is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

Of such a one will I boast; but in myself will I not boast, save in my infirmities.
