But if your brother is grieved with your food, you no longer walk in love. Destroy not him with your food, for whom Christ died.

For food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense.

But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

For it has pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints who are at Jerusalem.

I commend unto you Phebe our sister, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Greet my well beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.

Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Greet Apelles approved in Christ. Greet them who are of Aristobulus' household.

Greet Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that are of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in the Lord.

Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren who are with them.

Greet Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.

I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord.

Now to him who is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, by whom you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God.

But unto them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

And of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

For who makes you to differ from another? and what have you that you did not receive? now if you did receive it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it?

For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and will know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power.

If then you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

What? know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? for two, says he, shall be one flesh.

What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have of God, and you are not your own?

And the woman who has a husband that believes not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

For if any man sees you who have knowledge eating in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be encouraged to eat those things which are offered to idols;

And through your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

Who goes to warfare any time at his own expense? who plants a vineyard, and eats not of the fruit thereof? or who feeds a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock?

Do you not know that they who minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they who wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

Even so has the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

Know you not that they who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.

Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

For there must be also heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.

And there are diversities of workings, but it is the same God who works all in all.

For if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for the battle?

After that, he was seen of over five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep.

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

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

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

For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is clear that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.

Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of God.

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead:

Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silas and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God;

Who has also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

For if I make you sorry, who is he then that makes me glad, but the same who is made sorry by me?

And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

To whom you forgive anything, I forgive also: for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes I forgave it in the person of Christ;

Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the fragrance of his knowledge by us in every place.

To the one we are the fragrance of death unto death; and to the other the fragrance of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

For we are not as many, who corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Who also has made us able ministers of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.

And not as Moses, who put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly see the end of that which is abolished:

In whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of them who believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

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

Knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

Now he that has made us for the same thing is God, who also has given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to boast on our behalf, that you may have something to answer them who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

And that he died for all, that they who live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again.

And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

For he has made him, who knew no sin, to be sin for us; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Nevertheless God, who comforts those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

Therefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause who had done the wrong, nor for his cause who suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.

And in this I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to desire a year ago.

But thanks be to God, who put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.

And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and a testimony of your eagerness:

And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.

But this I say, He who sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, who causes through us thanksgiving to God.

And by their prayer for you, who long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am humble among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, though I think to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

For not he that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

For if he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him.

And when I was present with you, and in want, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them who desire occasion; that when they glory, they may be found even as we.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forevermore, knows that I lie not.

Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?

And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall mourn over many who have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and licentiousness which they have committed.

I told you before, and tell you again, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them who earlier have sinned, and to all others, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

Since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who toward you is not weak, but is mighty in you.
