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.

Let a man give attention not only to what is good for himself, but equally to his neighbour's good.

But if someone says to you, "This meat has been offered in sacrifice," let it alone, on account of the man who told you and his conscientious scruples;

But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.

Do not offend Jews or Greeks or even the church of God [but live to honor Him];

For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.

But if a woman let her hair flow, it is an ornament to her; for the hair was given her for a covering,

If there be any man among you that lusteth to strife, let him know that we have no such customs, neither the congregations of God.

But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.

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.

But let your desires be turned to the more important things given by the Spirit. And now I am pointing out to you an even better way.

Be eager in your pursuit of this Love, and be earnestly ambitious for spiritual gifts, but let it be chiefly so in order that you may prophesy.

There are, let us say, so many languages in the world, and none without its meaning.

So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.

Wherefore, he that speaketh with a tongue, let him pray that he may translate;

What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.

What, then, is it, brethren? Whensoever ye are coming together, each one, hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath a translation: - let, all things, be done, unto building up.

If, with a tongue, one is speaking, let it be by two, or, at the most, three, - and by turns; and let, one, be translating;

But, if there be none to translate, let him keep silence in assembly, and, unto himself, be speaking, and, unto God!

Prophets, moreover, let two or three speak, and let, the others, judge.

If, however, unto another, a revelation be made, as he is sitting, let the first be silent;

You can all prophesy quite well, one after another, so as to let all learn and all be encouraged.

As for the women, in the assemblies, let them be silent, for it is not permitted them to be speaking; but let them be in submission, - even as, the law, saith.

If, however, they are wishing to learn something, at home, their own husbands, let them question; for it is a shame for a woman to be speaking in assembly.

If anyone thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge the things which I am writing to you, - that they are, a commandment, of the Lord.

But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues.

But let, all things, with comeliness, and by arrangement, be done.

Now let me remind you, brothers, of the essence of the good news which I proclaimed to you, which you accepted, on which you now are standing,

If, after the manner of men, I have fought with wild-beasts at Ephesus, what, to me, the profit? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for, tomorrow, we die.

And, even as we have borne the image of the man of earth, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.

Let me tell you a secret. We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,

Upon the first of the week, let, each one of you, put, by itself, in store, as he may be prospering, - lest, as soon as I come, then, collections, should be in progress.

If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lord's work, as I am, so let no one disparage him.

Let no one then despise him; and set ye him forward in peace, that he may come unto me, for I expect him with the brethren.

Let, all your affairs, in love, be carried on.

The Salutation of me Paul with my own hand. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema: Maran-atha.

If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema that is, "accursed" : Maran atha that is, "The Lord, cometh" .

Let my love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Let me have your cooperation in prayer, so that many a soul may render thanks to him on my behalf for the boon which many have been the means of him bestowing on myself.

Relying on this I meant to visit you first, to let you have a double delight;

I planned to leave you in order to go to Macedonia, and then come back to you from Macedonia, and let you send me on to Judea.

For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him let the Amen be said by our voices to the glory of God.

I wrote to you out of great sorrow and anguish of heart along with many tears not to make you sad but to let you know how much love I have for you.

Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;

For God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in my heart, to give me the light of the knowledge of God's glory, reflected on the face of Christ.

Wherefore also let us seek the honour, whether being at home, whether being absent, to be pleasing to him.

Invested then with such a commission, I beseech you let not the offers of divine favour be made to you in vain.

Let us give no man occasion of evil, that in our office be found no fault:

but in all things let us behave ourselves as the ministers of God. In much patience, in afflictions, in necessity, in anguish,

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

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,

Having therefore, these, promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from all pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in fear of God.

Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man,

So my letter was written to you, not on account of the offender nor for the sake of the injured party, but in order to let you realize before God how seriously you do care for me.

But we desire to let you know, brethren, of the grace of God which has been bestowed on the Churches of Macedonia;

and begged me most earnestly, of their own accord, to let them share in the support of their fellow-Christians.

let your abundance be at this time a supply to their want; that their abundance also may be a supply to your want, that there may be an equality,

So let them have proof of how you can love, and of my reasons for being proud of you; it will be a proof read by the churches.

But let each give according to the purpose of his heart; not grudgingly of under compulsion. It is a cheerful giver that God loves.

I who am a person of a mean presence, when among you, but exert myself upon your account, when absent; I Paul intreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, not to let me exert that authority,

Look these facts in the face. If any man is fully persuaded as regards himself that he belongs to Christ, let him consider again with himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also am I.

Let it not seem as if I were overawing you with my letters.

Let such a man assure himself that my actions, when I am present, will be just like my words in my letters when I am absent.

Meanwhile. Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.

Did I do wrong in taking a lowly place to let you have an exalted one, in that I preached the good news about God to you without accepting any pay?

And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge.

I say again, let no one think me a fool. Or, if you must, at least bear with me as a fool, that I, too, may do a little boasting.

I am quite ashamed to say I was not equal to that sort of thing! But let them vaunt as they please, I am equal to them (mind, this is the role of a fool!).

but through an opening in the wall I was let down in a basket, and so escaped and out of his hands.

I must boast, although it does not do any good. Let's talk about visions and revelations from the Lord.

For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong.

But let it be! - I, myself, did not burden you, - Notwithstanding, being crafty, with guile, I caught you?

I desire before God that ye do none evil, not that we should seem commendable: but that ye should do that which is honest, and let us be counted as lewd persons.

Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

But even though I myself or an angel from heaven were to preach any gospel other than that which I did preach to you, let him be accursed.

I have said it before, and I now repeat it, if any one is preaching a gospel to you other than that which you have received, let him be accursed.

But I let you know, brethren, as to the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.

And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;

And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be!

This is all I want to ask of you: did you receive the [Holy] Spirit as the result of obeying [the requirements of] the Law, or was it the result of hearing [the message of salvation and] with faith [believing it]?

Let me illustrate, brothers, from every-day life. When once a human testament is made, and formally ratified, no one sets it aside or adds to it.

the law, then, is against the promises of God? -- let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

Here is what I am saying to you: If you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ can do you no good.

I again insist that if any man lets himself be circumcised, he is under obligation to obey the whole law.

Ye did run well. Who was a let unto you, that ye should not obey the truth?

For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not let your freedom [become] an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

This is my meaning. Let your steps be guided by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

If we are living by the Spirit, let us also keep step in the Spirit.

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Brethren, if anybody be detected in any misconduct, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of meekness. And let each of you keep watch over himself, lest he also fall into temptation.

Let each one test his own work, and he will then have something to be proud of by comparing himself with himself, and not with any one else;

The one who is taught the word [of God] is to share all good things with his teacher [contributing to his spiritual and material support].

Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.

So then, while we [as individual believers] have the opportunity, let us do good to all people [not only being helpful, but also doing that which promotes their spiritual well-being], and especially [be a blessing] to those of the household of faith (born-again believers).
