All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but all things edify not.

For there must be sects among you, that they which among you are perfect might be known.

For this cause many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

But when we are judged of the Lord we are chastened, because we should not be damned with the world.

There are diversities of gifts verily, yet but one spirit.

And there are differences of administrations, and yet but one Lord.

And there are divers manners of operations, and yet but one God, which worketh all things that are wrought in all creatures.

The gifts of the spirit are given to every man to profit the congregation.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of one body though they be many, yet are but one body: even so is Christ.

For in one spirit are we all baptised to make one body, whether we be Jews or gentiles: whether we be bond or free, and have all drunk of one spirit.

Now are there many members, yet but one body.

Yea, rather a great deal those members of the body which seem to be most feeble, are most necessary.

Ye are the body of Christ, and members one of another.

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all doers of miracles?

Many kinds of voices are in the world, and none of them are without signification.

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe: but to them that believe not. Contrariwise, prophesying serveth not for them that believe not: but for them which believe.

If therefore when all the congregation is come together, and all speak with tongues, there come in they that are unlearned, or they which believe not: will they not say that ye are out of your wits?

and so are the secrets of his heart opened: and so falleth he down on his face, and worshippeth God, and saith that God is with you indeed.

For the spirits of the prophets are in the power of the prophets.

If any man think himself a prophet, either spiritual: let him understand what things I write unto you. For they are the commandments of the Lord.

by the which also ye are saved - I do you to know, after what manner I preached unto you - if ye keep it, except ye have believed in vain.

After that, he was seen of more than five hundred brethren at once: of which many remain unto this day, and many are fallen asleep.

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

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God. For we have testified of God how that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up, if it be so that the dead rise not up again.

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

And thereto, they which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

If in this life only we believe on Christ, then are we, of all men, the miserablest.

and every man in his own order: The first is Christ, then they that are Christ's at his coming.

"For he hath put all things under his feet." But when he saith, "All things are put under him," it is manifest, that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

When all things are subdued unto him: then shall the son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all things.

Either, else what do they which are baptised over the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptised over the dead?

There are celestial bodies, and there are bodies terrestrial: But the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

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

For a great door and a fruitful is opened unto me: and there are many adversaries.

Brethren, ye know the house of Stephanas, how that they are the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have appointed themselves to minister unto the saints:

They have comforted my spirit and yours. Look therefore that ye know them that are such.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy. Unto the congregation of God, which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

which comforteth us in all our tribulation, insomuch that we are able to comfort them which are troubled, in whatsoever tribulation it be, with the same comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

For as the afflictions of Christ are plenteous in us: even so is our consolation plenteous by Christ.

even as ye have found us partly, for we are your rejoicing, even as ye are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

For all the promises of God, in him are "Yea": and are in him "Amen," unto the laud of God through us.

lest Satan should prevent us. For his thoughts are not unknown unto us.

For we are unto God the sweet savor of Christ, both among them that are saved, and also among them which perish:

to the one part are we the savor of death unto death; and unto the other part are we the savor of life unto life. And who is mete unto these things?

For we are not as many are, which chop and change with the word of God: but even out of pureness, and by the power of God and in the sight of God, so speak we in Christ.

Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is understood and read of all men;

in that ye are known, how that ye are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us and written not with ink, but with the spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.

not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as it were of ourselves; but our ableness cometh of God;

But we all behold the glory of the Lord with his face open, and we are changed unto the same similitude, from glory to glory, even of the spirit of the Lord.

If our Gospel be yet hid, it is hid among them that are lost,

We are troubled on every side, yet are we not without shift. We are in poverty: but not utterly without somewhat.

We are persecuted: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: nevertheless we perish not.

For we which live, are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might appear in our mortal flesh.

Wherefore, we are not wearied: but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

while we look not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen. For things which are seen, are temporal: but things which are not seen are eternal.

For as long as we are in this tabernacle, we sigh and are grieved: for we would not be unclothed: but would be clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

Therefore, we are always of good cheer, and know well that as long as we are at home in the body we are absent from God.

Nevertheless we are of good comfort, and had rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

Seeing, then, that we know how the Lord is to be feared, we fare fair with men. For we are known well enough unto God. I trust also that we are known in your consciences.

For if we be too fervent, to God are we too fervent: if we keep measure, for your cause keep we measure.

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, if one be dead for all, that then are all dead:

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.

Nevertheless, all things are of God, which hath reconciled us unto himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given unto us the office to preach the atonement.

Now then are we messengers in the room of Christ: even as though God did beseech you through us. So pray we you, in Christ's stead, that ye be at one with God:

ye are in no strait in us, but are in a strait in your own hearts.

How agreeth the temple of God with images? And ye are the temple of the living God, as said God, "I will dwell among them, and walk among them, and will be their God: and they shall be my people."

I speak not this to condemn you: for I have showed you before that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.

Therefore we are comforted, because ye are comforted: yea and exceedingly the more joyed we, for the joy that Titus had: because his spirit was refreshed of you all.

I am therefore not now ashamed, though I boasted myself to him of you. For as all things which I preached unto you are true, even so is our boasting - that I boasted myself to Titus withal - found true.

how that the abundance of their rejoicing is, that they are tried with much tribulation. And thereto, though they were exceeding poor, yet have they given exceeding richly, and that in singleness.

Now therefore, as ye are rich in all parts, in faith, in word, in knowledge, in all ferventness, and in love, which ye have to us: even so see that ye be plenteous in this benevolence.

This say I not as commanding: but because others are so fervent, therefore prove I your love, whether it be perfect or no.

hath caused me this to do: partly for Titus' sake - which is my fellow, and helper as concerning you - partly because of others which are our brethren, and the messengers of the congregations, and the glory of Christ.

For the weapons of our war are not carnal things, but things mighty in God to cast down strongholds;

and are ready to take vengeance on all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Look ye on things after the outer appearance? If any man trust in himself that he is Christ's, let the same also consider of himself, that as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

"For the epistles," saith he, "are sore and strong: but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech homely."

Let him that is such, think on this wise: that as we are in words by letters when we are absent, such are we in deeds when we are present.

and to preach the gospel in those regions which are beyond you, and not to rejoice of that which is by another man's measure prepared already.

Though I be rude in speaking, yet I am not so in knowledge. Howbeit, among you we are known to the utmost what we are in all things.

For these false apostles are deceitful workers, and fashion themselves like unto the apostles of Christ.

That I speak, I speak it not after the ways of the Lord: but as it were foolishly, while we are now come to boasting.

For ye suffer fools gladly because that ye yourselves are wise.

They are Hebrews, so am I. They are Israelites, even so am I. They are the seed of Abraham, even so am I.

They are the ministers of Christ - I speak as a fool - I am more: In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prison more plenteously,

And verily, though it came of weakness that he was crucified, yet liveth he through the power of God: and we no doubt are weak in him; but we shall live with him, by the might of God among you.

Prove yourselves whether ye are in the faith or not. Examine your own selves: know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be castaways?

I trust that ye shall know that we are not castaways.

We are glad when we are weak, and ye strong. This also we wish for, even that ye were perfect.

and all the brethren which are with me. Unto the congregations of Galatia.

I marvel that ye are so soon turned from him that called you in the grace of Christ, unto another gospel:

We which are Jews by nature and not sinners of the gentiles,

If then, while we seek to be made righteous by Christ, we ourselves are found sinners, is not then Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

Are ye so unwise, that after ye have begun in the spirit, ye would now end in the flesh?

Understand, therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

So then, they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

For as many as are under the deeds of the law, are under malediction. For it is written, "Cursed is every man that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to fulfil them."

But after that faith is come, now are we no longer under a schoolmaster.

For ye are all the sons of God, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

For all ye that are baptised, have put on Christ.
