And, having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

or ministry, let us labor in the ministry; or he that teaches, in teaching;

or he that exhorts, in his exhortation; he that imparts, let him do it with liberality; he that presides, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be without hypocrisy; abhorring that which is evil; cleaving to that which is good;

Let every soul be in subjection to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority, except from God; and the authorities that are have been appointed by God.

The night was far spent, and the day has drawn near; let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkenness, not in lewdness and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy;

Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him that does not eat despise him that eats; for God received him.

One man, indeed, esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.

Let us not, therefore, judge one another any more; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block, or an occasion of falling, in a brother's way.

Let not, therefore, your good be evil spoken of;

So, then, let us follow after the things productive of peace, and the things that tend to mutual edification.

Let each one of us please his neighbor in that which is good for his edification;

And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye gentiles, and let all the people extol Him."

that, even as it has been written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation; and another builds thereon. But let each one take heed how he builds thereon;

Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

Therefore, let no one glory in men; for all things are yours;

Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

but, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

Let the husband render to the wife her due; and, in like manner, the wife to the husband.

But, if they have not continency let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

but if she even depart, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled to her husband; and that the husband leave not his wife.

But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

And, if any wife has an unbelieving husband, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.

But, if the unbelieving departs, let him depart. The brother or the sister has not come into bondage in such cases; but God hath called us in peace.

Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each one, as God hath called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the assemblies.

Was any one called, having been circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

Let each one abide in that calling in which he was called.

Brethren, let each one abide with God in the same condition in which he was called.

But, if any one thinks that he behaves himself unseemly toward his virgin daughter, if she be beyond the prime of life, and thus it ought to be brought about, let him do what he wishes, he sins not; let them marry.

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Nor let us tempt the Lord, as some of them tempted Him, and perished by the serpents.

Wherefore, let him who thinks he is standing take heed, lest he fall.

Let no one seek his own, but each another's good.

For, if a woman is unveiled, let her also be shaven; but, if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup;

If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that ye come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.

Wherefore, let him that speaks in a tongue, pray that he may interpret.

What is it, then, brethren? When ye come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edification.

If any one speaks in a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in turn; and let one interpret;

but, if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

And let the prophets, two or three, speak, and the others judge.

But, if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence;

Let the wives keep silence in the assemblies; for it is not permitted them to speak, but let them be in subjection, as also says the law.

And, if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a wife to speak in an assembly.

If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you, that they are the Lord's commandment;

but, if any is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

But let all things be done decently and in order.

If in human fashion I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what is the profit to me? If the dead rise not; "Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die."

On the first day of the sabbaths, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring it up, as he may prosper, that no collections be made, when I come.

Let no one, therefore, despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I am expecting him with the brethren.

Let all your affairs be carried on in love.

If anyone loves not the Lord, let him be accursed, when the Lord cometh!

Having, therefore, these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Let each one do as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Ye look at things according to appearance. If anyone has trusted to himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that, as he is Christ's, so also are we.

Let such a one consider this: that such as we are in word through letters, when absent; such also are we in deed, when present.

But he that glories let him glory in the Lord;

I say again, let no one think me foolish; but, if ye do, yet as foolish receive me, that I too may glory a little.

and through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.

But even if we or an angel out of Heaven should proclaim a Gospel to you other than that which we delivered to you, let him be accursed!

As we have said before, even now also I say again, if any one is delivering a Gospel to you, contrary to that which ye received, let him be accursed.

If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.

Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

But let each one prove his own work, and then will he have ground of glorying in respect to himself alone, and not to another.

But let him who is being taught in the word share with him who is teaching, in all good things.

And, in doing what is noble, let us not grow weary; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

So, then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, but especially to those of the household of the faith.

Henceforth let no one occasion trouble to me; for I am bearing in my body the brand-marks of Jesus.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath;

Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands that which is good, that he may have to impart to him that has need.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is good for the supplying of the need, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and reviling, be put away from you, with all wickedness;

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becomes saints;

Let no one deceive you with empty words; for, because of these things, comes the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

But, as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also let the women be to their husbands in everything.

Nevertheless, do ye also, severally, each one, so love his own wife, as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband.

Let us, therefore, as many as are perfect, think this: and, if in anything ye think differently, even this God will reveal to you;

nevertheless, whereunto we advanced, by the same rule let us walk.

Let your forbearance be known to all men: the Lord is near!

Be anxious for nothing; but, in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God:

Let no one, therefore, judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a feast, or a new moon, or sabbaths,

Let no one rob you of your prize, wishing to do it in humility and in a worshipping of angels, speculating about the things which he has seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, unto which also ye were called in one body; and become thankful.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts, to God.

Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.

So, then, let us not sleep as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

But let us, being of the day, be sober, having put on a breast-plate of faith and love; and, as a helmet, a hope of salvation;

Let no one deceive you in any manner; because that day will not come, unless the falling away come first, and the man of lawlessness be revealed??he son of perdition;

For, even when we were with you, this we commanded you, "If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat."

Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection.

But let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, being without reproach.

Let deacons be husbands of one wife, presiding well over their own children and their own houses.

Let no one despise your youth; but become a model for believers, in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

But, if any widow has children or grand-children, let them learn first to show regard to their own family, and to make returns to their parents; for this is acceptable before God.

Let a widow be enrolled, when she has become not less than sixty years old, having been a wife of one man,

If any believing woman has widows, let her relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, in order that it may relieve those who are really widows.

Let elders who preside well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in word and teaching.
