For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.

But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God's churches.

But in giving you this command, I do not praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.

But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

For the body is not one member, but many.

But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

But now they are many members, but one body.

whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

But earnestly desire the greater gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

But now faith, hope, and love remain?these three. The greatest of these is love.

Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their encouragement, strengthening, and comfort.

He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy, and he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the church may be built up.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

For you truly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

Brothers, do not be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

let the women keep silent in the churches, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the Law also says.

But if someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

After that he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.

But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.

But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.

For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet." But when he says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?"

That which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.

But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.

All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

However that which is spiritual is not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.

Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

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

But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with pure motives and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not "Yes and no."

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."

But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I did not come to Corinth to spare you.

Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.

But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.

I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.

For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;

who also made us sufficient as servants of a New Covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:

But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;

But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.

So then death works in us, but life in you.

But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;

Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is wearing away, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.

while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.

For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.

and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still more.
