If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

For, one by one, ye can, all, be prophesying, - that, all, may learn, and, all, be encouraged.

(The spirit that moves the preachers is within the preachers' control;

What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone?

If anyone thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge the things which I am writing to you, - that they are, a commandment, of the Lord.

If anyone does not recognize this [that it is a command of the Lord], he is not recognized [by God].

so that, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and to speak with tongues do not forbid;

And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood,

by which also ye are saved if ye hold firm that word I preached to you, unless ye believed in vain.

For I delivered unto you, among the first things, what also I received: - how that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,

And that he was buried, and that he hath been raised, on the third day, according to the Scriptures, -

And that he appeared unto Cephas, then, to the twelve,

After that, he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, - of whom, the greater number, remain until even now, but, some, have fallen asleep, -

After that, he appeared unto James, then, unto all the apostles,

And last of all he was seen of me, as of one that was born out of due time.

For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

But by God’s grace I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not ineffective. However, I worked more than any of them, yet not I, but God’s grace that was with me.

So, whether it was I, or the other apostles [who did the work], this is [the message] that we have preached, and that you people have received.

Now, if, Christ is proclaimed, that, from among the dead, he hath been raised, how say some, among you - resurrection of the dead, there is none?

But if there is not a resurrection of those that are dead, neither is Christ raised:

And if Christ has not risen, it follows that what we preach is a delusion, and that your faith also is a delusion.

And we are found, even false-witnesses of God, because we have witnessed respecting God, that he raised the Christ, - whom he did not raise, if, indeed, after all, the dead are not raised!

For if those that are dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;

If it be so that Christ rose not, then is your faith in vain, and yet are ye in your sins.

Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

If, in this life, in Christ, we have hoped - and that is all, we are, of all men, most to be pitied.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

For since by man came death, by man also resurrection of those that are dead.

But, each, in his own rank: - A firstfruit, Christ, after that, they who are the Christ's, in his presence,

After that comes the end, when He will turn the kingdom over to God His Father, when He will put an end to all other government, authority, and power;

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

For - He put, all things, in subjection under his feet. But, whensoever it shall be said - all things are in subjection! - it is evident that it means, - Except him who did put into subjection, unto him, the all things -

But whensoever have been put into subjection, unto him, the all things, then, the Son himself, alsoshall be put in subjection unto him who put in subjection, unto him, the all things, - that, God, may be, all things in all.

Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?

[For that matter] why are we [running such risks and putting ourselves] in danger [nearly] every hour [if there is no resurrection]?

I affirm by the pride in you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord: I die every day!

If I fought wild animals in Ephesus with only human hope, what good did that do me? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

Wake up, do justly, cease from sin; for I say to your shame that some of you have no acquaintance with God.

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

And, what thou sowest, not the body that shall come into existence, dost thou sow, but a naked kernel - if it so happen, of wheat, or of any of the rest, -

and God gives it just such a form as he pleases, so that each kind of seed has a form of its own.

All flesh is not of the same kind: but there is one kind that belongs to men, another to beasts, another to fishes, and another to birds.

There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is different from that of the earthly ones.

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for the glory of one star is different from that of another.

So it is with the resurrection of the dead. The [human] body that is sown is perishable and mortal, it is raised imperishable and immortal.

It is a physical body that is sown, it is a spiritual body that is raised. If there is a physical body, there is a spiritual body also.

That is what is meant by the words-'Adam, the first man, became a human being'; the last Adam became a Life-giving spirit.

Howbeit, not first, is the body of the spirit, but that, of the soul, - afterwards, that of the spirit.

As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

And as we have borne a resemblance to the earthy one, let us see to it that we also bear a resemblance to the heavenly One.

And, this, I say, brethren, - that, flesh and blood, cannot inherit, God's kingdom. Neither doth, corruption, inherit, incorruption.

and that in a moment, and in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shall rise incorruptible: And we shall be changed.

For this decaying part of us must put on the body that can never decay, and this part once capable of dying must put on the body that can never die.

But, whensoever, this mortal, shall clothe itself with immortality, then, shall be brought to pass the saying that is written - Death hath been swallowed up, victoriously;

The [harmful] sting that causes [physical] death is sin [See Rom. 5:12]; and the power of sin [to do this] comes from the law. [See Rom. 8:2].

So, then, my beloved brethren, - become ye, steadfast, immovable, superabounding in the work of the Lord, at all times; knowing that, your toil, is not in vain in the Lord.

And concerning the collection that is for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye -- do ye;

On the first day of the week, each of you is to set something aside and save in keeping with how he prospers, so that no collections will need to be made when I come.

And, if it be meet that, I also, be journeying, with me, shall they journey.

But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia, for that is my purpose;

And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying.

For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.

For I have an opportunity here that is great and calls for work, and it has many opponents.

But, if Timothy should come, see that, without fear, he be with you, for, in the work of the Lord, doth he labour, even as, I:

Let no one then despise him; and set ye him forward in peace, that he may come unto me, for I expect him with the brethren.

But, concerning Apollos the brother, much, did I beseech him, that he would come unto you, with the brethren, but there was, by no means, any will, that he should come, now; - he will come, however, as soon as he hath good opportunity.

Let all that ye do be done in love.

Now I beseech you, brethren, - ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is a first-fruit of Achaia, and, for the purpose of ministering, they devoted themselves, unto the saints -

That, ye also, be submitting yourselves unto such as these, - and unto everyone helping in the work and toiling.

I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, along with the church that meets in their home.

If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema that is, "accursed" : Maran atha that is, "The Lord, cometh" .

My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

It is true that we have our full share of the sufferings of the Christ, but through the Christ we have also our full share of consolation.

If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is experienced in your endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.

And so, our hope, is sure in your behalf, - knowing that, - as ye are sharers of the sufferings, so, also of the encouragement.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened in Asia, - that, exceedingly, beyond power, were we weighed down, so that we despaired, even of life.

But, we ourselves, within ourselves, have had the sentence of death, that we might not rest our confidence upon ourselves, but upon God, who raiseth the dead,

Who, out of so great a death, rescued us, and will rescue, - unto whom we have turned our hope, that, even yet, he will rescue:

Ye also labouring together on our behalf, by your supplication, that, unto many persons, being due the gift of favour, unto us, through means of many, might thanks be given in our behalf.

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, no other things, are we writing unto you, than what ye are either reading or even acknowledging, - I hope, moreover, that, throughout, ye will acknowledge,

According as ye have also acknowledged us, in part, - that, your theme of boasting, we are, even indeed as, ye, also shall be , ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

And, in this confidence, I purposed, before, to come unto you, - in order that, a second joy, ye might have, -

that is, to go by you on my way to Macedonia, and then to come back to you from Macedonia, and have you send me on to Judea.

This, then, being my purpose, perhaps, after all, with lightness, I dealt with the matter ? or, the things that I purpose, according to the flesh, I purpose, - that, with me, should be the Yea, yea, and the Nay, nay?

Faithful, however, is God, in that, our discourse, which was delivered unto you, is not Yea and Nay;

For God's son Jesus Christ which was preached among you by us - that is to say, by me and Silvanus and Timothy - was not "yea" and "nay": but in him it was "Yea."

for to all the promises of God he supplies the "Yes" that confirms them. That is why we utter the "Amen" through him, when we give glory to God.

Now, he that confirmeth us, together with you, for Christ, and hath anointed us, is God:

But, I, call upon God, as a witness, against my own soul, - that, to spare you, not yet, have I come unto Corinth:

Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are, helpers, of your joy, for, by your faith, ye stand.

But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

For, if, I, grieve you, who then is he that is to gladden me, - save he who is being grieved through me;

And I wrote this very thing - lest, if I came, I should have, grief, from those over whom I had need to rejoice, - having confidence in you all, that, my joy, is the joy, of you all.

For, out of much tribulation and anguish of heart, wrote I unto you, through many tears, - not that ye might be grieved, but that, the love, ye might know, which I have very abundantly unto you.

Now, if anyone hath caused grief, not unto me hath he caused grief, but - that I may not bear too heavily - unto you all.
