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.

but I will come to you shortly, if God will, and will know not the words of them which swell, but the power.

For the Kingdom of God is not in words, but in power.

Your rejoicing is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven soureth the whole lump of dough?

Them that are without, God shall judge. Put away from among you that evil person.

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? If the world shall be judged by you: are ye not good enough to judge small trifles?

Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. For neither fornicators, neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind,

neither thieves, neither the covetous, neither drunkards, neither cursed speakers, neither extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were ye verily: but ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified by the name of the Lord Jesus: And by the spirit of our God.

Meats are ordained for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Let not the body be applied unto fornication, but unto the Lord, and the Lord unto the body.

God hath raised up the Lord, and shall raise us up by his power.

Either, remember ye not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I now take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid.

Either, know ye not how that your bodies are the temple of the holy ghost, which is in you, whom he have of God, and how that ye are not your own?

For ye are dearly bought. Therefore glorify ye God in your bodies and in your spirits, for they are God's.

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

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,

But and if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not in subjection to such. God hath called us in peace.

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.

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

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.

But she is happier if she so abide, in my judgement. And I think verily that I have the spirit of God.

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

To speak of meat dedicated unto idols, we are sure that there is none idol in the world: and that there is none other God but one.

yet unto us is there but one God, which is the father, of whom are all things, and we in him: and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Meat maketh us not acceptable to God: Neither if we eat are we the better: Neither if we eat not are we the worse.

For it is written in the law of Moses, "Thou shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn." Doth God take thought for oxen?

If I do it with a good will, I have a reward. But if I do it against my will, an office is committed unto me.

To them that were without law, became I as though I had been without law - when I was not without law as pertaining to God, but under a law as concerning Christ - to win them that were without law.

But in many of them had God no delight. For they were overthrown in the wilderness.

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.

Nay, but I say, that these things which the gentiles offer, they offer to devils, and not to God. And I would not that ye should have fellowship with the devils.

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

See that ye give none occasion of evil: neither to the Jews, nor yet to the gentiles, neither to the congregation of God.

I would ye knew that Christ is the head of every man; and the man is the woman's head; and God is Christ's head.

A man ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God. The woman is the glory of the man.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man by the woman: but all is of God.

Judge in yourselves whether it be comely that a woman pray unto God bareheaded.

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.

Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or else despise ye the congregation of God? And shame them that have not? What shall I say unto you? Shall I praise you? In this praise I you not.

Wherefore I declare unto you that no man speaking in the spirit of God defieth Jesus. Also no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the holy ghost.

And there are divers manners of operations, and yet but one God, which worketh all things that are wrought in all creatures.

But now hath God disposed the members, every one of them in the body, at his own pleasure.

For our honest members need it not: but God hath so disposed the body, and hath given most honour to that part which lacked,

And God hath also ordained in the congregation, first the apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, then them that do miracles; after that, the gifts of healing, helpers, governors, diversity of tongues.

For he that speaketh with tongues speaketh not unto men, but unto God. For no man heareth him: Howbeit, in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.

and so are the secrets of his heart opened: and so falleth he down on his face, and worshippeth God, and saith that God is with you indeed.

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the congregation, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

For God is not causer of strife: but of peace, as he is in all other congregations of the saints.

Sprang the word of God from you? Either came it unto you only?

For I am the least of all the apostles, which am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God:

But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace which is in me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God. For we have testified of God how that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up, if it be so that the dead rise not up again.

Then cometh the end, when he hath delivered up the kingdom to God the father, when he hath put down all rule, authority, and power.

When all things are subdued unto him: then shall the son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all things.

Be not deceived: malicious speakings corrupt good manners.

Awake truly out of sleep, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this unto your rebuke.

and God giveth it a body at his pleasure, to every seed a several body.

This say I brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither doth corruption inherit uncorruption.

But thanks be unto God, which hath given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I will not see you now in my passage: but I trust to abide a while with you, if God shall suffer me.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, and be strong.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy. Unto the congregation of God, which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be God the father of our Lord Jesus the Christ, father of mercy, and the God of all comfort,

which comforteth us in all our tribulation, insomuch that we are able to comfort them which are troubled, in whatsoever tribulation it be, with the same comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Also we received an answer of death in ourselves, and that was done because we should not put our trust in ourselves, but in God, which raiseth the dead to life again -

Our rejoicing is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in singleness of heart and with godly pureness - and not in fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God - we have had our conversation in the world, and most of all to you-wards.

God is faithful: For our preaching unto you, was not "yea" and "nay."

For God's son Jesus Christ which was preached among you by us - that is to say, by me and Silvanus and Timothy - was not "yea" and "nay": but in him it was "Yea."

For all the promises of God, in him are "Yea": and are in him "Amen," unto the laud of God through us.

For it is God which establisheth us and you in Christ, and hath anointed us,

I call God for a record unto my soul, that for to favor you withal, I came not any more unto Corinth.

Thanks be unto God which always giveth us the victory in Christ, and openeth the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.

For we are unto God the sweet savor of Christ, both among them that are saved, and also among them which perish:

For we are not as many are, which chop and change with the word of God: but even out of pureness, and by the power of God and in the sight of God, so speak we in Christ.

in that ye are known, how that ye are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us and written not with ink, but with the spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.

not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as it were of ourselves; but our ableness cometh of God;

but have cast from us the cloaks of unhonesty, and walk not in craftiness, neither corrupt we the word of God: but walk in open truth, and report ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest should shine unto them the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, which is the image of God.

For it is God that commanded the light to shine out of darkness, which hath shined in our hearts, for to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellent power of it might appear to be of God, and not of us.

for all things I do for your sakes, that the plenteous grace by thanks given of many, may redound to the praise of God.

We know surely if our earthy mansion wherein we now dwell were destroyed, that we have a building ordained of God, a habitation not made with hands, but eternal in heaven:

He that hath ordained us for this thing, is God: which very same hath given unto us the earnest of the spirit.

Therefore, we are always of good cheer, and know well that as long as we are at home in the body we are absent from God.

Nevertheless we are of good comfort, and had rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every man may receive the works of his body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Seeing, then, that we know how the Lord is to be feared, we fare fair with men. For we are known well enough unto God. I trust also that we are known in your consciences.

For if we be too fervent, to God are we too fervent: if we keep measure, for your cause keep we measure.

Nevertheless, all things are of God, which hath reconciled us unto himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given unto us the office to preach the atonement.

For God was in Christ, and made agreement between the world and himself, and imputed not their sins unto them: and hath committed to us the preaching of the atonement.

Now then are we messengers in the room of Christ: even as though God did beseech you through us. So pray we you, in Christ's stead, that ye be at one with God:

for he hath made him to be sin for us, which knew no sin, that we by his means should be that righteousness which before God is allowed.

We as helpers therefore exhort you, that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

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

in the words of truth, in the power of God, by the armour of righteousness of the right hand and on the left hand,

in honour and dishonour, in evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,
