For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

but in the assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Brethren, be not children in your minds, but in malice be babes; but in your minds be grown men.

So that tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to unbelievers; but prophecy, not to unbelievers, but to those who believe.

But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or simple person come in, he is convicted of all, he is judged of all;

but if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

But if there be a revelation to another sitting there, let the first be silent.

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

Let your women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

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

But if any be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

But let all things be done comelily and with order.

But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,

Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.

But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which was towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

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

but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also is our preaching, and vain also your faith.

but if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

(But now Christ is raised from among the dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.

But each in his own rank: the first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.

For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, it is evident that it is except him who put all things in subjection to him.

But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)

But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?

And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:

Every flesh is not the same flesh, but one is of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.

And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:

But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:

But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,

But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.

but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.

But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia.

But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that ye may set me forward wheresoever I may go.

But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.

Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity.

But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service,)

But I rejoice in the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

But whether we are in tribulation, it is for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,

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

For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.

For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.

But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

But I have judged this with myself, not to come back to you in grief.

For out of much tribulation and distress of heart I wrote to you, with many tears; not that ye may be grieved, but that ye may know the love which I have very abundantly towards you.

But if any one has grieved, he has grieved, not me, but in part (that I may not overcharge you) all of you.

But to whom ye forgive anything, I also; for I also, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sakes in the person of Christ;

I had no rest in my spirit at not finding Titus my brother; but bidding them adieu, I came away to Macedonia.

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in the Christ, and makes manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place.

to the one an odour from death unto death, but to the others an odour from life unto life; and who is sufficient for these things?

For we do not, as the many, make a trade of the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, before God, we speak in Christ.

being manifested to be Christ's epistle ministered by us, written, not with ink, but the Spirit of the living God; not on stone tables, but on fleshy tables of the heart.

not that we are competent of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our competency is of God;

who has also made us competent, as ministers of the new covenant; not of letter, but of spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit quickens.

(But if the ministry of death, in letters, graven in stones, began with glory, so that the children of Israel could not fix their eyes on the face of Moses, on account of the glory of his face, a glory which is annulled;

But their thoughts have been darkened, for unto this day the same veil remains in reading the old covenant, unremoved, which in Christ is annulled.

But unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil lies upon their heart.

But when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.)

Now the Lord is the Spirit, but where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

But we all, looking on the glory of the Lord, with unveiled face, are transformed according to the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Lord the Spirit.

But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.

But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:

every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;

persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;

so that death works in us, but life in you.

Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.

while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen are for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.

For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yet we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men, but have been manifested to God, and I hope also that we have been manifested in your consciences.

For we do not again commend ourselves to you, but we are giving to you occasion of boast in our behalf, that ye may have such with those boasting in countenance, and not in heart.

and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has been raised.

So that we henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer.

But as fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:

but in everything commending ourselves as God's ministers, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,

as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your affections;

but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children,) let your heart also expand itself.

For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.

But he who encourages those that are brought low, even God, encouraged us by the coming of Titus;

and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced.

Now I rejoice, not that ye have been grieved, but that ye have been grieved to repentance; for ye have been grieved according to God, that in nothing ye might be injured by us.

For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.

For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in you, but what excusing of yourselves, but what indignation, but what fear, but what ardent desire, but what zeal, but what vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

So then, if also I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of him that injured, nor for the sake of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for you being manifested to you before God.

Because if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has been the truth;

But we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God bestowed in the assemblies of Macedonia;

And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God's will.

but even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may abound in this grace also.

I do not speak as commanding it, but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love.

And I give my opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.

But now also complete the doing of it; so that as there was the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have.

but on the principle of equality; in the present time your abundance for their lack, that their abundance may be for your lack, so that there should be equality.

But thanks be to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus.

For he received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you;

but we have sent with him the brother whose praise is in the glad tidings through all the assemblies;

and not only so, but is also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and a witness of our readiness;
