For I will not dare to speak anything of which Christ did not accomplish through me for the obedience of Gentiles, by word and work,

but, as it is written, They will see to whom it was not reported about him, and they will understand who have not heard.

whenever I go to Spain I will come to you. For I hope to see you while passing through, and there to be helped on the way by you, if first I may be partly satisfied from you.

Having therefore completed this, and having sealed this fruit for them, I will depart by you to Spain.

And I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the good-news of the Christ.

so that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and be rested with you.

And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you.

Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

who will also confirm you until the end, irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will frustrate the understanding of those of understanding.

For who has known the mind of Lord that he will stand with him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each man will receive his own payment according to his own labor.

each man's work will become manifest. For the day will make it known, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire will test each man's work of what kind it is.

If any man's work that he built on will remain, he will receive benefit.

If any man's work will be burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.

If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy this man, for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

Therefore do not judge anything before time, until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make public the deliberations of the hearts. And then praise will come to each man from God.

Because of this I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every congregation.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord should will, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

Or know ye not that the sanctified will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of very small legal disputes?

Know ye not that we will judge heavenly agents? Then why not mundane things?

I speak shame about you. So there is not among you not even one wise man who will be able to arbitrate between his brother?

Or know ye not that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not led astray. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate men, nor homosexuals,

nor greedy men, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the slanderous, nor the predatory will inherit the kingdom of God.

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under control by anything.

The foods are for the belly and the belly for foods, but God will abolish both this and these things. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

And God both raised up the Lord and will raise us up through his power.

Or know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For, The two, he says, will be in one flesh.

For how do thou know, O wife, whether thou will save thy husband? Or how will thou know, O husband, whether thou will save thy wife?

But also if thou did marry thou have not sinned, and if the virgin married she has not sinned. Yet such kind will have stress in the flesh, but I spare you.

But I want you to be without worry. The unmarried man cares for things of the Lord, how he will please the Lord.

But he who is married cares for things of the world, how he will please his wife.

But he who stands firm in his heart, not having necessity, but has power based upon his own will, and has decided this in his heart, to keep his own celibacy, does well.

For if some man sees thee, who have knowledge, dining in an idol-temple, will not his conscience, being weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

And by thy knowledge the brother, being weak, will be ruined, for whom Christ died.

Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will no, not eat meat into the age, so that I may not cause my brother to stumble.

If we sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we will reap your carnal things?

No temptation has taken you except is common to man. But God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted above what ye are able, but with the temptation will also make the way to escape, to enable you to endure.

Therefore whoever may eat this bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily of the Lord, will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

And if any man is hungry, let him eat at home so that ye may not come together for condemnation. And the rest I will set in order as soon as I come.

Love never fails. But whether prophecies, they will be abolished, whether tongues, they will cease, whether knowledge, it will be abolished.

but when the perfect comes, then what is in part will be abolished.

For now we see by polished metal, in dimness, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know just as also I was known.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I benefit you, unless I would speak to you either in a revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in doctrine?

Likewise lifeless things that give a sound, whether flute or harp, if they give no distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is being piped or harped?

For also if a trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

So also ye, unless ye give understandable speech by the tongue, how will that which is spoken be known? For ye will be talking into the air.

If therefore I know not the force of the voice, I will be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.

What is it therefore? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the intellect also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the intellect also.

Otherwise if thou would bless with the spirit, how will the man who fills the place of the unlearned, say the Truly at thy thanksgiving, since he knows not what thou say?

In the law it is written, In other tongues and in other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear me, says Lord.

If therefore the whole congregation comes together in the same place, and all speak in tongues, and unlearned or unbelieving men come in, will they not say that ye are mad?

And so the secrets of his heart are made manifest. And so having fallen down on his face he will worship God, declaring that God is really among you.

For as by Adam all die, so also by Christ all will be made alive.

Afterwards the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when he will abolishes all rule, and all authority and power.

For he must reign until he will put all his enemies under his feet.

And when all things are made subordinate to him, then the Son himself will also be made subordinate to him who subordinated all things to him, so that God may be all in all.

Otherwise what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?

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

And what thou sow, thou do not sow the body that it will become, but a bare grain, if it may happen of wheat, or of some other kind.

And just as we have worn the form of the earthly, we will also wear the form of the heavenly.

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

in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For it will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be transformed.

But when this perishable will have put on imperishability, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written, Death was swallowed up in victory.

And when I arrive, whomever ye may approve by letters, I will send these men to bring your gift to Jerusalem.

And if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

But I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia, for I do pass through Macedonia.

And it may be that I will remain with you, or I will even spend winter, so that ye may set me on my way wherever I go.

But I will remain at Ephesus until Pentecost.

And about Apollos the brother, I urged him much that he would come to you with the brothers, and it was not at all his will that he should come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy the brother, to the congregation of God that is at Corinth, with all the sanctified who are in the whole of Achaia.

Who rescued us out of so great a death, and does rescue, in whom we have hoped that he will also still rescue.

For we write no other thing to you, but rather what ye read or also acknowledge. And I hope ye will also acknowledge until the end,

how will the administration of the spirit not be more in glory?

knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up through Jesus, and will present us with you.

if indeed also having put it on we will not be found naked.

And what mutual agreement has a temple of God with idols? For ye are a temple of the living God, just as God said, I will dwell in them, and will walk among them. And I will be their God, and they will be a people to me.

Therefore, Come ye out from among them, and be ye separated, says Lord, And touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you

and will be for a Father to you, and ye will be for sons and daughters to me, says Lord Almighty.

And it was not as we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God,

Because he indeed accepted the exhortation, but his own will being more zealous, he went forth to you.

But this, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows in blessings will also reap in blessings.

For even if I also should boast somewhat more abundantly about our authority (which the Lord gave us for building up, and not for tearing you down), I will not be shamed,

But we will not boast in things immeasurable, but according to the measure of the standard that God apportioned to us, of a measure to reach even as far as you.

And being present with you, and when needy, I was a burden to no man. For the brothers who came from Macedonia, they supplied my need. And in everything I kept, and I will keep myself non-burdensome to you.

The truth of Christ is in me that this pride in me will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.

But what I do, I also will do, so that I may cut off the opportunity of those who desire an opportunity, that in what they boast, they might appear just as we also.

Therefore, it is no great thing if his helpers also disguise themselves as helpers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.

If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness.

(Really, to me boasting is not helpful.) For I will come to visions and revelations of Lord.

For such a man I will boast, but for myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

For if I should want to boast, I will not be foolish, for I will speak the truth. But I refrain lest any man should reckon to me above what he sees of me or hears anything from me.

And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my power is made fully perfect in weakness. More gladly therefore I will boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of the Christ may reside in me.

Behold, a third time I fare readily to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you, for I seek not the things of you, but you. For the children ought not lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

And I most gladly will spend, and will be spent for your souls. Even though more earnestly loving you, the worse I am loved.

lest having come again my God will make me low toward you, and I will bewail many of those who have sinned previously, and who did not repent from the trash and fornication and licentiousness that they committed.

This third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two witnesses or three every saying will be confirmed.

I have told you before, and I say in advance, as present the second time, and now absent, I write to those who have previously sinned, and to all the others, that if I come to it again, I will not spare,

For even if he was crucified from weakness, yet he lives from the power of God. For we in him are also weak, but we will live with him from the power of God toward you.
