O wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me from this body of death?

But ye are not given to the flesh; But to the spirit: If so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. If there be any man that hath not the spirit of Christ, the same is none of his.

If we be sons, we are also heirs: the heirs, I mean, of God: and heirs annexed with Christ. If so be that we suffer together, that we may be glorified together.

For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is no hope. For how can a man hope for that which he seeth?

Neither was it so with her only: but also when Rebecca was with child by one, I mean by our father Isaac,

So lieth it not then in a man's will, or cunning, but in the mercy of God.

But O man what art thou, which disputest with God? Shall the work say to the workman, "Why hast thou made me on this fashion?"

What shall we say then? We say that the gentiles which followed not righteousness, have overtaken righteousness: I mean, the righteousness which cometh of faith.

As it is written, "Behold I put in Zion a stumbling stone, and a rock which shall make men fall. And none that believe on him, shall be ashamed."

Moses describeth the righteousness which cometh of the law, how that the man which doth the things of the law shall live therein.

For the belief of the heart justifieth: and to knowledge with the mouth maketh a man safe.

But what saith the answer of God to him again? "I have reserved unto me seven thousand men which have not bowed their knees to Baal."

I speak to you gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles I will magnify mine office

For I say, through the grace that unto me is given, to every man among you: that no man esteem of himself more than it becometh him to esteem - But that he discreetly judge of himself according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

So we, being many, are one body in Christ - and every man, among ourselves, one another's members.

Seeing that we have divers gifts according to the grace that is given unto us: if any man have the gift of prophecy, let him have it that it be agreeing unto the faith;

Let him that teacheth take heed to his doctrine; Let him that exhorteth give attendance to his exhortation; If any man give, let him do it with singleness; Let him that ruleth do it with diligence; If any man show mercy let him do it with cheerfulness.

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide aforehand things honest in the sight of all men.

If it be possible, howbeit of your part, have peace with all men.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but give room unto the wrath of God. For it is written, "Vengeance is mine, and I will reward, saith the Lord."

Give to every man therefore his duty: Tribute to whom tribute belongeth: Custom to whom custom is due: fear to whom fear belongeth: Honour to whom honour pertaineth.

Owe nothing to any man: but to love one another. For he that loveth another, fulfilleth the law.

This also we know, I mean the season: how that it is time that we should now awake out of sleep. For now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

What art thou that judgest another man's servant? Whether he stand or fall, that pertaineth unto his master. Yea, he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand.

This man putteth difference between day and day: another man counteth all days alike. See that no man waver in his own meaning.

Let us not, therefore, judge one another any more. But judge this, rather: that no man put a stumbling block, or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

For whosoever in these things serveth Christ, pleaseth well God: and is commended of men.

Destroy not the work of God for a little meat's sake. All things are pure: but it is evil for that man, which eateth with hurt of his conscience.

Let every man please his neighbor unto his wealth and edifying.

So have I enforced myself to preach the gospel: not where Christ was named, lest I should have built on another man's foundation,

that ye receive her in the Lord as it becometh saints, and that ye assist her, in whatsoever business she needeth of your aid. For she hath succored many, and mine own self also.

Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

for your obedience extendeth to all men. I am glad no doubt of you. But yet I would have you wise unto that which is good. And to be innocent as concerning evil.

Gaius mine host and the host of all the congregations, saluteth you. Erastus, the chamberlain of the city, saluteth you. And Quartus, a brother, saluteth you.

And this is it that I mean: how that commonly among you, one sayeth, "I hold of Paul"; Another, "I hold of Apollos"; the third, "I hold of Cephas"; and the fourth that, "I hold of Christ."

lest any should say that I in mine own name had baptised.

I baptised also the house of Stephanas. Furthermore know I not whether I baptised any man of you or no.

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness?

For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: And the weakness of God is stronger than are men.

Brethren, look on your calling how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many of high degree are called:

And my words, and my preaching were not with enticing words of man's wisdom: but in showing of the spirit and of power,

that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men: but in the power of God.

But as it is written, "The eye hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

For what man knoweth the things of a man: save the spirit of a man which is within him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God.

which things also we speak - not in the cunning words of man's wisdom, but with the cunning words of the holy ghost, making spiritual comparisons of spiritual things.

For the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are but foolishness unto him: Neither can he perceive them, because he is spiritually examined.

But he that is spiritual discusseth all things: yet he himself is judged of no man.

For ye are yet carnal. As long verily as there is among you envying, strife and dissension: are ye not carnal, and walk after the manner of men?

What is Paul? What thing is Apollos? Only ministers are they, by whom ye believed: even as the Lord gave every man grace.

He that planteth, and he that watereth, are neither better than the other. Every man yet shall receive his reward according to his labour.

According to the grace of God given unto me, as a wise builder have I laid the foundation; and another hath built thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon.

For other foundation can no man lay, than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

If any man build on this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, timber, hay, or stubble:

every man's work shall appear. For the day shall declare it, and it shall be showed in fire, and the fire shall try every man's work what it is.

If any man's work, that he hath built upon, abide; he shall receive a reward.

If any man's work burn; he shall suffer loss. But he shall be safe himself, nevertheless yet as it were through fire.

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man seem wise among you, let him be a fool in this world, that he may be wise.

Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours,

Let men this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God.

With me is it but a very small thing, that I should be judged of you, either of man's day. No I judge not mine own self.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God.

These things, brethren, I have described in mine own person, and Apollos, for your sakes - that ye might learn by us that no man count of himself beyond that which is above written: that one swell not against another for any man's cause.

Me thinketh that God hath set forth us, which are apostles, for the lowest of all: as it were, men appointed to death. For we are a gazingstock unto the world, and to the angels, and to men.

This I say to your shame. Is there utterly no wise man among you? What, not one at all? That can judge between brother and brother?

All things are lawful unto me: but all things are not profitable. I may do all things: but I will be brought under no man's power.

Flee fornication. All sins that a man doth, are without the body. But he that is a fornicator, sinneth against his own body.

As concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man, not to touch a woman.

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his wife: and let every woman have her husband.

Let the man give unto the wife due benevolence. Likewise also the wife unto the man.

The wife hath not power over her own body: but the husband; And likewise the man hath not power over his own body: but the wife.

For I would that all men were as I myself am: but every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, another after that.

I say unto the unmarried men, and widows: it is good for them if they abide even as I do,

Unto the married command not I, but the Lord: that the wife separate not herself from the man.

For how knowest thou o woman, whether thou shalt save that man or no? Other, how knowest thou o man, whether thou shalt save that woman or no?

But even as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every person, so let him walk: and so ordain I in all congregations.

If any man be called being circumcised, let him add nothing thereto. If any be called uncircumcised: let him not be circumcised.

Let every man abide in the same state wherein he was called.

Ye are dearly bought; be not men's servants.

Brethren, let every man wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

I suppose that it is good for the present necessity. For it is good for a man so to be.

I would have you without care; the single man careth for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

If any man think that it is uncomely for his virgin if she pass the time of marriage, and if so need require, let him do what he listeth, he sinneth not: let them be coupled in marriage.

To speak of things dedicated unto idols, we are sure that we all have knowledge. Knowledge maketh a man swell: but love edifieth.

If any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that there is an idol, until this hour, and eat as of a thing offered unto the idol, and so their consciences being yet weak are defiled.

For if some man see thee, which hast knowledge, sit at meat in the idol's temple shall not the conscience of him which is weak be boldened to eat those things which are offered unto the idol?

If I be not an apostle unto others, yet am I unto you. For the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

Mine answer to them that ask me, is this:

Say I these things after the manner of men? Or sayeth not the law the same also?

But I have used none of these things. Neither wrote I these things that it should be so done unto me. For it were better for me to die than any man should take this rejoicing from me.

What is my reward then? Verily that when I preach the gospel, I make the gospel of Christ free, that I misuse not mine authority in the gospel.

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all men, that I might win the more.

To the weak became I as weak, to win the weak. In all thing I fashioned myself to all men, to save, at the leastway, some.

Every man that proveth masteries abstaineth from all things. And they do it to obtain a corruptible crown: but we to obtain an uncorruptible crown.

There hath none other temptation taken you, such as followeth the nature of man. God is faithful, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above your strength: but shall in the midst of the temptation make a way to escape out.

Let no man seek his own profit: but let every man seek another's wealth.

But and if any man say unto you, "This is dedicated unto idols," eat not of it, for his sake that showed it, and for hurting of conscience - the earth is the Lord's and all that therein is -

Conscience I say, not thine: but the conscience of that other. For why should my liberty be judged of another man's conscience?
