I am free to do all things; but not all things are wise. I am free to do all things; but I will not let myself come under the power of any.

And God who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead will do the same for us by his power.

Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.

And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.

Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.

But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

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

But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary.

But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

What? was it from you that the word of God went out? or did it only come in to you?

But if there is no coming back from the dead, then Christ has not come back from the dead:

And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect.

For if it is not possible for the dead to come to life again, then Christ has not come to life again:

But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.

For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life.

The last power to come to an end is death.

Again, what will they do who are given baptism for the dead? if the dead do not come back at all, why are people given baptism for them?

If, after the way of men, I was fighting with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not come to life again, let us take our pleasure in feasting, for tomorrow we come to an end.

But someone will say, How do the dead come back? and with what sort of body do they come?

Foolish man, it is necessary for the seed which you put into the earth to undergo death in order that it may come to life again:

See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.

In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed.

But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.

On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.

And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.

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

See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.

But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.

And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;

And by way of Corinth to go into Macedonia, and from there to come back again to you, so that you might send me on my way to Judaea.

But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.

But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow.

Because we are certain that he who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead, will do the same for us, and will give us a place in his glory with you.

Now he who has made us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a witness of what is to come.

For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.

For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; there were fightings outside and fears inside.

For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.

Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;

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:

As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.

This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.

For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;

And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.

I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;

Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),

For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.

But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.

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

But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

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?

This ready belief did not come from him who had made you his.

But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.

The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,

By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven,

Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come:

That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.

Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

If that ordering of the grace of God has come to your knowledge, which was given to me for you,

By whom we come near to God without fear through faith in him.

Till we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to full growth, to the full measure of Christ:

But saying true words in love, may come to full growth in him, who is the head, even Christ;

Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

For this reason he says, Be awake, you who are sleeping, and come up from among the dead, and Christ will be your light.

Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:

For our country is in heaven; from where the Saviour for whom we are waiting will come, even the Lord Jesus Christ:

But I am very glad in the Lord that your care for me has come to life again; though you did in fact take thought for me, but you were not able to give effect to it.

Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;

And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.

So that their hearts may be comforted, and that being joined together in love, they may come to the full wealth of the certain knowledge of the secret of God, even Christ,

Having been put to death with him in baptism, by which you came to life again with him, through faith in the working of God, who made him come back from the dead.

For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's.

(Rules which are all to come to an end with their use) after the orders and teaching of men?

And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.

For our witness does not come from error or from an unclean heart or from deceit:

Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again; but Satan kept us from coming.

For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.
