But every one contesting is abstinent in all things, they indeed also that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

and all did drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

And these became our examples, in order that we may not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

No temptation has overtaken you, except that which is human: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the temptation, He will also make a way of escape, in order that you may be able to bear it.

Then what do I say? that idolatry is anything? or that an idol is anything?

Let no one seek his own, but that of another.

If I partake with grace, why am I traduced for that over which I give thanks?

as I also please all in all things, seeking not my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

But I wish you to know, that Christ is the head of every man; and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same to her being shaven.

Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man may indeed have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

For in the first place, indeed you coming together, I hear that there are schisms among you; and I in part believe it.

For it behooves that heresies should indeed be among you, in order that the approved may be made manifest among you.

For I received this from the Lord, which I have also delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

But being judged, by the Lord we are chastised, in order that we may not be condemned along with the world.

If one is hungry let him eat at home; in order that you may not come together unto condemnation. But I will set in order the remaining things when I may come.

And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I may give my body that I shall be burnt, and have not divine love, I am profited as to nothing.

but when the perfect may come, that which is in part shall be done away.

Follow after divine love; and seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.

But I wish you all to speak with tongues, but rather that you may prophesy: but greater is the one prophesying, than the one speaking with tongues, unless he may interpret, in order that the church may receive edification.

Thus also if you through the tongue may give an indistinct word, how will that which is spoken be known? for you will be speaking into the air.

If it so happens that there are so many kinds of voices in the world, and nothing without a voice;

So also you, since you are zealots of spirits, seek that you may abound unto the edification of the church.

Therefore let the one speaking with a tongue, pray that one may interpret.

but I would rather speak five words in the church with my understanding, so that I may indeed teach others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Then if the whole church may come together, and all may speak with tongues, and the unlearned or unbelievers may come in, will they not say that you are gone mad?

the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and thus falling upon his face he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly in you.

For you are all able to prophesy one by one, in order that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

If any one seems to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him understand the things which I write to you, that they are of the Lord;

For I delivered unto you in the first place that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

and that he was buried, and that he arose on the third day according to the Scriptures;

and that he was seen by Cephas; then by the twelve.

But if Christ is preached that he is risen from the dead, how do certain ones among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

And we are indeed found false witnesses of God; because we testified according to God that he raised Christ: whom he did not raise, if then the dead rise not.

But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruit of them that slept.

For, he has subordinated all things beneath his feet. But when he may say, that all things have been subordinated, it is evident that the One having subordinated all things to him is excepted.

But when he may subordinate all things to him, then the Son himself will also be subordinated to him who hath subordinated all things to Himself, in order that God may be all things in all.

Thou foolish one, that which thou sowest, is not quickened unless it may die;

and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but naked grain, if it may happen to be of wheat, or of some one of the other grains;

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

But I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood are not able to inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

So, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

On the first day of the week let each one of you lay by with himself treasuring up, that as to whatsoever he may be prospered, in order that there may be no collections at that time when I may come.

and perhaps I may abide with you, and even spend the winter with you, in order that you may send me forward whithersoever I may go.

But if Timothy may come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I also:

therefore let no one snub him. But send him forth in peace, in order that he may come to me: for I await him with the brethren.

But concerning brother Apollos, I entreated him much, that he may come to you with the brethren: but it was not altogether his will that he may come now; but he will come when he may have opportunity.

But I exhort you, brethren; (know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),

in order that you may indeed be in subjection unto such, and to every one laboring with you and toiling.

for they refreshed my spirit and yours. Acknowledge ye therefore them that are such.

the one comforting us in all our tribulation, in order that we may be able to comfort those in all tribulation, through the consolation with which we ourselves are comforted of God,

And our hope is stedfast in your behalf; knowing that, as you are the partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the consolation.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction taking place in Asia, because we were burthened exceedingly, above our power, so that we despaired even of living:

but we had the answer of death in ourselves, in order that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God who raised the dead:

who delivered us from so great a death, and will deliver: in whom he have hope that he will also yet deliver;

you also cooperating in our behalf in prayer; in order that, the gift which is bestowed upon us from many persons, may through many be a source of thanks given in our behalf.

For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and purity of God, not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have sojourned in the world, and especially towards you.

For we do not write other things to you, but those things which you read and know, and I hope that you will know them perfectly:

And in this confidence I wished to come unto you sooner, that you may have a second grace;

Then wishing this, whether did I use lightness of purpose? or the things which I counsel, do I counsel according to the flesh, in order that it may be with me yes yes and no no?

But God is faithful, that our word which is to you is not yes and no.

But I call God to witness to my soul, that sparing you I did not yet come into Corinth:

not that we domineer over your faith, but we are fellow-workers of your joy: for by faith you stand.

And I wrote this same thing, in order that, having come, I may not have grief over those from whom it behooves me to rejoice; and having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

For out of much tribulation and anguish of heart, I wrote to you through many tears; not in order that you may be grieved, but that you may know the divine love which I have unto you exceedingly.

But if any one has grieved you all, he has not grieved me, but in part, that I may not burden you excessively.

for unto this also I wrote, in order that I may know your approval, if you are obedient in all things.

in order that we may not be gobbled up by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

being manifest that you are the letter of Christ, having been ministered by us, having been written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God: not in tables of stone, but in tables that are hearts of flesh.

not that we are able of ourselves to think anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

But if the ministry of death, having been written in letters of stone, was in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look upon the face of Moses on account of the glory of his countenance; which was destined to be done away:

For indeed that which was glorious, has ceased to be glorious in this respect on account of the transcendent glory.

For if that which was to be done away was through glory, much more is that which abides in glory.

and not as Moses put the veil on his face, in order that the sons of Israel might not look forward to the end of that which was transitory.

in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who believe not, in order that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine on them.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, in order that the excellency of the power, may be of God, and not of us;

always bearing about the dying of Jesus in our body, in order that the life of Jesus may also be made manifest in our bodies.

For we while living are always being delivered up to death for the sake of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

So that death works in us, but life in you.

But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which has been written, I believed, therefore I also spoke; and we believe, therefore we also speak;

knowing that the one having raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us along with Jesus, and present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes, in order that the grace, overflowing with thanksgiving through many, may abound unto the glory of God.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle may be taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

For indeed being in this tabernacle we groan, being burdened; not that we wish to be divested, but invested, that mortality may be swallowed up of life.

Therefore we are always confident even knowing that, being present in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

For it behooves us all to appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, in order that each one may receive according to those things which he has done through the body, whether good or evil.

Therefore knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but we have been made manifest unto God; and I hope that we have indeed been made manifest in your consciences.

We are not commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion of boasting in our behalf, in order that you may have response to those who glory in appearance, and not in heart.

For the love of Christ constrains us; having judged this, that one died for all; then were all dead;

and he died for all, in order that those living may not live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them and is risen.

So that we from now know no man after the flesh: if indeed we have known Christ after the flesh, but we now know him no more.

as that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their transgressions to them, even having placed in us the word of reconciliation.

He made him sin in our behalf, who knew no sin; in order that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, in order that the ministry may not be blamed;

I do not speak for castigation: for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die with you and to live with you.

and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted by you, proclaiming unto us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more.

But if I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret it, if indeed I did regret it; for I see that, if that letter indeed grieved you for an hour,

now I rejoice, not because you grieved, but because you grieved unto repentance: for you grieved toward God, in order that you may receive damage by us in nothing.

Since then indeed I wrote to you, not on account of the one having done the wrong, nor on account of the one having suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal, which is in our behalf to you before God, might be made manifest.
