For I affirm Christ to have become a minister of circumcision in behalf of the truth of God, - to confirm the promises of the fathers,

And that, the nations, for mercy should glorify God: - even as it is written - For this cause, will I openly confess unto thee among nations, and, unto thy name, will strike the strings;

Now, the God of the hope, fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye may surpass in the hope, in the power of Holy Spirit.

Howbeit, the more boldly, have I written unto you, - in some measure, as bringing it back to your minds, - by reason of the favour given unto me from God, -

That I should be a public minister of Christ Jesus unto the nations, doing priestly service with the glad-message of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might prove to be acceptable, being hallowed in Holy Spirit:

I have, therefore, myboasting in Christ Jesus in the things pertaining to God, -

But, now, no longer having place in these regions, and having had, a longing, to come unto you a good many years, -

As soon as I am journey to Spain, - I am hoping, in fact, when journeying through to get sight of you, and by you to be set forward thither, - if, with your company, I have first in some measure been satisfied.

I beseech you, moreover, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers on my behalf unto God, -

In order that, with joy coming unto you through God's will, I may together with you find rest.

Now, the God of peace, be with you all. Amen.

For, your obedience, unto all hath reached, - over you, therefore, I rejoice! But I wish you - to be wise, indeed, as to that which is good, yet pure, as to that which is evil.

Howbeit, the God of peace, will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The favour of our Lord Jesus, be with you.

But now made manifest, and through means of prophetic scriptures, according to the command of the age-abiding God, for obedience of faith unto all the nations made known,

Unto a God, wise alone, through Jesus Christ, unto whombe the glory, unto the ages. Amen.

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

Unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, - with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place, - their Lord and ours:

Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.

I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto you in Christ Jesus, -

Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

For Christ sent me not, to be immersing, but to be telling the good news, - not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ.

For, the discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved - unto us, it is, God's power.

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

For, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well-pleased - through the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, to save them that believe.

But, unto the called themselves - both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God's power, and, God's wisdom.

Because, God's foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God's weak thing, mightier than men.

On the contrary - the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty,

And, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, - and the things that are not, - that, the things that are, he might bring to nought;

So that no flesh should boast before God.

But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God, - both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

I, therefore, brethren, when I came unto you, came, not with excellency of discourse or wisdom, declaring unto you the mystery of God;

In order that, your faith, might not be in men's wisdom, but in God's power.

But we speak, God's, wisdom, in a sacred secret, that hidden wisdom , which God marked out beforehand, before the ages, for our glory, -

But, even as it is written - The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and upon the heart of man have not come up, - whatsoever things God hath prepared for them that love him,

Unto us, in fact, hath God revealed through the Spirit; for, the Spirit, into all things, maketh search, yea! the deep things of God.

For who of men knoweth the things of a man, - save the spirit of the man that is in him? thus, even the things of God, hath no one come to know, save the Spirit of God.

But, as for us, - not the spirit of the world, have we received, but the Spirit which is of God, - that we might know the things which, by God, have been given in favour unto us: -

But, a man of the soul, doth not welcome the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, and he cannot get to know them, because, spiritually, are they examined;

I, planted, Apollos, watered, - but, God, caused to, grow.

So that, neither is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth, - but, God, who causeth to, grow.

For we are, God's, fellow-workmen: ye are, God's, farm, God's building.

According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;

Know ye not that ye are a shrine a of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell?

If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy, - and such are ye.

For, the wisdom of this world, is, foolishness with God; for it is written - He that taketh the wise in their knavery, -

And, ye, are Christ's, - and, Christ, is, God's.

Let a man, so, be reckoning of us, as officers of Christ, and stewards of sacred secrets of God.

So then, not before the fitting time, be judging anything, - until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and, then, the praise shall come to each one, from God.

For I think that, God, hath set forth, us the apostles, to be last of all, as men devoted to death, - in that, a spectacle, have we been made, unto the world, - both unto messengers and unto men.

Howbeit, I will come quickly unto you, - if, the Lord, please, - and will get to know - not the speech of them who are puffed up, but, the power;

For, not in speech, is the kingdom of God, but, in power.

Whereas, them who are without, God, judgeth? Remove ye the wicked man from among, yourselves.

Or know ye not that, wrong-doers, shall not inherit, God's kingdom? Be not deceiving yourselves: - neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners - shall inherit, God's kingdom.

And, these things, were some of you; but ye bathed them away, - but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified, in the name of ourLord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods; but, God, will set aside, both it and them. The body, however, is not for fornication, but, for the Lord, - and, the Lord, for the body.

God, moreover, hath both raised up, the Lord, and will raise, us, up from among the dead through his power.

Or know ye not that, your body, is, a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own; -

For ye have been bought with a price! Therefore glorify God in your body.

Now, concerning the things whereof ye wrote, it were, good, for a man, not to touch, a woman;

Besides, I desire all men to be, even as myself, - but, each one, hath his, personal, gift from God, one, after this manner, and, another, after that.

But I say, to the unmarried, and to the widows, good, were it for them, that they should abide, even as I;

But, if, the unbelieving, departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister hath not come into bondage, in such cases, but, in peace, hath God called us.

If not - as the Lord hath distributed - unto each one, as God hath called, each one, so, let him be walking; - and, so, in all the assemblies, I ordain.

The circumcision, is, nothing, and, the uncircumcision, is, nothing, - but keeping the commandments of God.

Each one, wherein he was called, brethren, in the same, let him abide with God.

I consider this, then, to be, good, in the circumstances, by reason of the existing distress, - that it is, good for a man, so, to be:

But, happier, is she, if, so, she remain, - in my judgment; for I think, I also, have the Spirit of God.

But, if anyone loveth God, the same, is known of him -

Concerning, then, the eating of idol-sacrifices, we are aware - that an idol is, nothing, in the world, and that, none, is God save one.

Yet, to us, there is one God the Father, of whom are all things, and, we, for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and, we, through him.

Food, indeed, will not commend us unto God, - neither, if we eat not, do we lack, nor, if we eat, do we abound.

For, in the law of Moses, it is written - Thou shalt not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the corn: - Is it, for the oxen, God is caring?

I, however, have not used any of these things; and have not written these things, in order that, so it should be done, in my case; for it were, good for me, rather to die than - - my boast, shall, no man, make void!

To them who were without law, as, without law, - not being without law to God, but lawfully subject to Christ, - that I might win them who were without law.

Nevertheless, with the most of them, God, was not well-pleased, for they were strewed along in the desert.

Trial, hath not taken you, save such as man can bear; faithful, moreover is God, who will not suffer you to be tried above what ye are able, but will make, with the trial, also the way of escape, that ye may be able to hold out.

On the contrary - that, the things which the nations sacrifice, unto demons, and not unto God, they sacrifice; and I wish not that ye should become, sharers together with the demons!

Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do, all things to the glory of God.

Give no occasion of stumbling - whether to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God:

But I wish you to know - that, the head of every man, is, the Christ, and, the head of a woman, is, the man; and, the head of the Christ, is, God.

For, a man, indeed, ought not to be veiling his head, being, the image and glory of God, - but, the woman, is the glory of man;

For, just as the woman is of the man, so, also the man, is through means of the woman; - but, all things, are of God.

Among your own selves, judge ye, - Is it becoming for a woman, - unveiled, to be praying unto God?

But, if anyone thinketh to be contentious, we, have no such custom, - nor yet the assemblies of God.

What! have ye not houses for your eating and drinking? or, the assembly of God, do ye despise, and, put to shame them who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall I praise you? In this, I praise you not.

Wherefore, I give you to know - that, no one, in God's Spirit speaking, saith - Accursed Jesus! and, no one, can say - Lord Jesus! save in the Holy Spirit.

And, distributions of energies, there are, and the same God - who energiseth all things in all.

But, now, hath God set the members, each one of them in the body, even as he pleased.

Whereas, our comely parts, have, no need. But, God, hath tempered the body together, - unto that which was lacking, giving more abundant honour; -

And God hath, indeed, set, certain, in the assembly, - first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that mighty works, then gifts of healings, helps, guidings, kinds of tongues.

For, he that speaketh with a tongue, not unto men, doth speak, but, unto God, - for, no one, understandeth, although, in spirit, he is speaking sacred secrets;

I give thanks unto God! - More than ye all, am I speaking with tongues;

And, so, falling down upon his face, he will do homage unto God, reporting that, in reality, God is, among you.

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

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

Or, from you, did the word of God come forth? Or, unto you alone, did it extend?

For, I, am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

But, by favour of God, I am what I am, and, his favour, which was unto me, hath not been made void, - but, much more abundantly than they all, have I toiled, albeit not, I, but the favour of God with me.

And we are found, even false-witnesses of God, because we have witnessed respecting God, that he raised the Christ, - whom he did not raise, if, indeed, after all, the dead are not raised!
