or thieves or greedy graspers for more or drunkards or slanderers or swindlers will not have a share in the kingdom of God.

Defraud not one another, except it may be by consent occasionally, that ye may have more leisure for fasting and prayer; and come together again, lest Satan tempt you through your incontinence.

But I am saying this as a concession, not as a command.

Though, if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: such however will probably have more trouble in life: but I spare you.

But she is more blessed if she remains this way according to my opinion. And I also seem to have Spirit of God.

But food does not bring us close to God. For neither if we eat do we have more, nor if we do not eat do we lack.

If indeed meat causes my brother to stumble, I never eat any more meat, in order that I may not lay a stumblingblock in the way of my brother.

If others have a part in this right over you, have we not even more? But we did not make use of our right, so that we might put nothing in the way of the good news of Christ.

I get a reward if I do it of my own accord, whereas to do it otherwise is no more than for a steward to discharge his trust.

For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation.

No trial has come upon you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried more than you are able to bear; but he will, with the trial, make a way to escape, so that you be able to bear up under it.

Therefore, my beloved, run [keep far, far away] from [any sort of] idolatry [and that includes loving anything more than God, or participating in anything that leads to sin and enslaves the soul].

(Of course, in the Lord, woman does not exist apart from man, any more than man apart from woman;

But in giving you the following instructions, I cannot praise you; your solemn assemblies do more harm than good.

No, those parts which seem to be feeble are the more necessary;

And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

But those parts of the body which are beautiful have no need of such care: and so the body has been joined together by God in such a way as to give more honour to those parts which had need of it;

Be envious, however, of the greater gifts; and, yet, a much more excellent way, unto you, I point out: -

If I have the ability to speak in the languages of human beings and angels [Note: Perhaps the idea is supernaturally and eloquently], but do not have love [for people], I have become [no more than] a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.

Pursue love, and be zealous for the spiritual things, but more that ye may prophesy.

I wish all of you spoke in other languages, but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in languages, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.

I give thanks unto God! - More than ye all, am I speaking with tongues;

If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

And let the prophets give their words, but not more than two or three, and let the others be judges of what they say.

then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, the majority of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.

But, by favour of God, I am what I am, and, his favour, which was unto me, hath not been made void, - but, much more abundantly than they all, have I toiled, albeit not, I, but the favour of God with me.

More than that, we are detected in bearing false witness against God; because we testified of God that he raised Christ from the dead, whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead rise not.

More than that, those who are sleeping in Christ have perished.

If we have put our hope in Christ for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone.

Else what will they do who are baptised? for the dead, if wholly dead they rise no more. Why are they then baptised for the dead?

Be sober-minded [be sensible, wake up from your spiritual stupor] as you ought, and stop sinning; for some [of you] have no knowledge of God [you are disgracefully ignorant of Him, and ignore His truths]. I say this to your shame.

Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].

For just as I have more than my share in the sufferings of the Christ, so also through the Christ I have more than my share of comfort.

For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

For, our boasting, is, this, - the witness of our conscience, that, in sanctity and sincerity of God, and not in fleshly wisdom, but in God's favour, have we behaved ourselves in the world, - and more abundantly towards you.

For what I am writing you is nothing more than what you can read and understand, and I hope that you will understand it perfectly, just as some of you have come to understand me partially;

And in this confidence was I minded the other time to have come unto you, that ye might have had yet one pleasure more,

I call God for a record unto my soul, that for to favor you withal, I came not any more unto Corinth.

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 unto you.

sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that is by the more part,

So that on the contrary ye should rather show kindness, and console, lest perhaps such be swallowed down with more abundant sadness.

Do you say that this is self-recommendation once more? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

If, however, the administration of death, written with letters and engraved on stones, began in glory, so that the children of Israel could not gaze steadily on the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face?? glory even then fading??8 how much more shall the ministry of the Spirit abide in glory?

how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?

For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

For, if that which was to be done away was brought in with glory, much more, that which is to abide, is in glory.

As all of us reflect the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces, we are becoming more like him with ever-increasing glory by the Lord's Spirit.

for the all things are because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;

For, the momentary lightness of thee tribulation, in a manner yet more and more excelling, is working out for us, an age-abiding weight of glory, -

Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.

and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Not, however, by his presence alone, but also by the encouragement wherewith he had been encouraged over you: recounting unto us your earnest desire, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf. So that I the more rejoiced.

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 this cause, have we received encouragement. In addition to our encouragement, however, much more abundantly, have we rejoiced over the joy of Titus, - that his spirit hath received refreshment from you all,

And, his tender affections, are, much more abundantly towards you, when he calleth to mind the obedience, of you all, - how, with fear and trembling, ye gave him welcome.

that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, hath more abounded to the riches of their liberality.

For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the impulse of their hearts,

They did not do as I expected but even more; they first by God's will gave themselves to the Lord, and then to me;

Indeed, the more your faith, speech, knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for us increase, the more we want you to be rich in this work of kindness.

For you are recognizing [more clearly] the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [His astonishing kindness, His generosity, His gracious favor], that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that by His poverty you might become rich (abundantly blessed).

And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.

But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal.

Even as it is written - He that gathered the much, had not more than enough, and, he that gathered the little, had not less,

For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.

More than that, he is the one chosen by the churches to accompany me on my journey, in administering this gift of yours for the Lord's glory. And this has my full consent,

Moreover we have set forward, with them, our brother whom we have proved, in many things, ofttimes, earnest, - but, now, much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he hath towards you.

for I have known your readiness of mind, which in your behalf I boast of to Macedonians, that Achaia hath been prepared a year ago, and the zeal of you did stir up the more part,

In every way you will grow richer and become even more generous, and this will cause others to give thanks to God because of us,

For the rendering of this service does more than supply the wants of God's people; it results in a wealth of thanksgiving to God.

If, however, I were to boast more loudly concerning the authority which the Lord gave me (not to cast you down, but to build you up), I should have no cause for shame.

For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:

not boasting out of measure in other people's labours, but having hope, your faith increasing, to be enlarged amongst you, according to our rule, yet more abundantly

I robbed other churches by accepting [more than their share of] financial support for my ministry to you.

And being present with you, and having wanted, I acted not with negligence to any: (for the brethren having come from Macedonia filled up still more my want:) and I kept myself in every thing not burdensome to you, and I will keep.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as though I were beside myself), such, far, more, am I; in labors more abundant, in imprisonments also more abundant, in floggings beyond measure, in deaths often.

tho' if I had a mind to glory, I might do it without vanity, for I should say nothing but what is true: but now I forbear, lest any man should ascribe more to me than my actions, or my preaching can justify.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.

{For in what respect are you made worse off} more than the rest of the churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

For my part, I will most gladly spend, yea, and will myself be spent, for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I to be loved the less?

But also if we, or a messenger from heaven, announce good news to you, more than what: we have announced to you, let him be anathema.

And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.

nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.

And as to those who seemed to be men of note, whatever they were, it is all one to me, (God accepteth no man's person) for even these eminent persons added nothing more to me.

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Why, then, the Law [what was its purpose]? It was added [after the promise to Abraham, to reveal to people their guilt] because of transgressions [that is, to make people conscious of the sinfulness of sin], and [the Law] was ordained through angels and delivered to Israel by the hand of a mediator [Moses, the mediator between God and Israel, to be in effect] until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

(Now a mediator implies more than one person, but God is only one.)

and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,

There is no more Jew or Gentile, there is no more slave or freeman, there is no more male or female: but ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?

For it is written, Rejoice, O thou barren one who dost never bear, Break forth in joy, thou that dost not travail; For the children of the desolate woman are many. Yea, more than hers who has a husband.

I once more protest to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to obey the whole Law of Moses.

Let no one make any more trouble for me, because I carry the scars of Jesus on my own body.

So then ye are no more alien and foreign, but fellow citizens of the sanctified, and belonging to the household of God.

Now unto him who, according to his might that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely more than all we ask or even think,

Now this, that he ascended, what does it imply? but that he also first descended into the more internal parts of the earth?

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
