For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief;

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

For through the grace given to me, I say, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God: the powers that are, are ordained by God.

Whoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power; do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou doest that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

For, for this cause ye pay tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not, judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth: and he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.

He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord: and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

For he that in these things serveth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

For the sake of food, destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offense.

It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing by which thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one towards another according to Christ Jesus:

That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.

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

Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly to you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me from God.

That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

I have therefore cause for glorying through Jesus Christ, in those things which pertain to God.

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

That I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

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

For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

For your obedience is come abroad to all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise to that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

And the God of peace will soon bruise Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

To God the only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

God is faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For when in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellence of speech, or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world to our glory:

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I have planted, Apollos watered: but God hath given the increase.

So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase.

For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth upon it. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon it.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If any man defileth the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise from God.

For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.

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

Your boasting is not good. Know ye not, that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for lewdness, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

What, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

For I would that all men were as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I.

But if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God hath called us to peace.

But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

Brethren, let every man in the state in which he is called, continue in it with God.

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

But she is happier if she so remain, after my judgment; and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

But if any man loveth God, the same is known by him.

Therefore as concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

But food commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat, are we the better; neither if we eat not, are we the worse.
