and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for battle?

if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner;

wherefore he who is speaking in an unknown tongue -- let him pray that he may interpret;

since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not known?

afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep;

for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God,

and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;

and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence,

for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,

and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.

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

and to God -- thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with us and labouring;

for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye, therefore, those who are such.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, is God,

who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?

and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,

And to whom ye forgive anything -- I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven it, because of you -- in the person of Christ -- I forgive it,

and to God are thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place,

to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?

who also made us sufficient to be ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.

and are not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end of that which is being made useless,

in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,

knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,

for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.

And He who did work us to this self-same thing is God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

And the all things are of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,

for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

but He who is comforting the cast-down -- God -- He did comfort us in the presence of Titus;

If, then, I also wrote to you -- not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God --

and an opinion in this do I give: for this to you is expedient, who not only to do, but also to will, did begin before -- a year ago,

according as it hath been written, 'He who did gather much, had nothing over; and he who did gather little, had no lack.'

And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of Titus,

and not only so, but who was also appointed by vote by the assemblies, our fellow-traveller, with this favour that is ministered by us, unto the glory of the same Lord, and your willing mind;

and we sent with them our brother, whom we proved in many things many times being diligent, and now much more diligent, by the great confidence that is toward you,

And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap;

and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,

and he who is boasting -- in the Lord let him boast;

for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.

for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept -- well were ye bearing it,

Who is infirm, and I am not infirm? who is stumbled, and I am not fired;

the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ -- who is blessed to the ages -- hath known that I do not lie! --

any one of those whom I have sent unto you -- by him did I take advantage of you?

since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead --

who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.

I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus,

and only they were hearing, that 'he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;'

but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised --

and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.

And from those who were esteemed to be something -- whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me -- the face of man God accepteth not, for -- to me those esteemed did add nothing,

for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations,

and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision may go,

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you -- by works of law or by the hearing of faith is it?

for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'

and the law is not by faith, but -- 'The man who did them shall live in them.'

Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?

but he who is of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who is of the free-woman, through the promise;

for it hath been written, 'Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many are the children of the desolate -- more than of her having the husband.'

but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;

ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

Ye were running well; who did hinder you -- not to obey the truth?

the obedience is not of him who is calling you!

I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!

and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself -- lest thou also may be tempted;

And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things.

because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during;

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,

in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,

for our being to the praise of His glory, even those who did first hope in the Christ,

in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth -- the good news of your salvation -- in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,

which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,

among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others,

Wherefore, remember, that ye were once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,

for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down,

in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord,

in whom also ye are builded together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
