For not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not been subjected to the justice of God.

But I say, Have they not heard? Surely, in all the earth went out their sound, and their words to the end of the habitable globe.

And to Israel he says, The whole day have I unfolded my hands to an unbelieving and contradicting people.

Lord, thy prophets have they killed, and dug down thine altars; and I alone was left, and they seek my soul.

But what say to him the intimations of divine will I have left to myself seven thousand men, who bent not the knee to Baal.

For as also ye, when ye were disobedient to God, but now ye have been commiserated by the unbelief of these:

For as in one body we have many members, and all members have not the same action:

For rulers are not the terror of good works, but of evil. And wilt thou not fear the power do good, and thou shalt have approbation of it:

Thou has faith; have to thyself before God. Happy he judging not himself in what he proves.

For whatever before was written before are for our instruction was before written that by patience and consolation able of the writings we might have hope.

I have therefore boasting in Christ Jesus the things toward God.

By power of signs and wonders, by power of the Spirit of God, so that I from Jerusalem, and round about even to Illyricum, have completed the good news of Christ.

But as has been written, to whom it was not announced of him, they shall see: and they who have not heard shall understand.

For they were contented; and they are their debtors. For if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also to serve them in things pertaining to the flesh.

That ye receive her in the Lord, worthy of the holy ones, and encourage her in whatever thing she have need of you: for she also has been the rule of many, and of myself.

Who for my soul have laid down their own necks: to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the nations.

Embrace Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are distinguished among the sent, who also have been in Christ before me.

Lest any should say that in my name I have immersed.

Which none of the rulers of this world knew: for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

And we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit from God; that we might know things bestowed upon us as a gift by God.

For who knew the mind of the Lord, who shall instruct him And we have the mind of Christ.

I have given you milk to drink, and not food; for ye were not able, but neither now are ye yet able.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God increased.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise chief-architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon. And let each see how he builds upon.

For I know nothing by myself; but in this I have not been justified: and he examining me is the Lord.

For if ye have ten thousand preceptors in Christ, but not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus by the good news I begat you.

In general is fornication heard among you, and such fornication which is not named in the nations, for any to have his father's wife.

And ye were puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he having done this work might be taken away from the midst of you.

For I truly, as being at a distance in body, and being present in spirit, have already, as being present, judged him having so worked this.

Therefore truly, if ye have judgments pertaining to the cares of life, set them counted as nothing in the church.

Therefore truly, already is there wholly a misfortune in you, that ye have judgments with yourselves. Wherefore had ye not rather be treated ill? wherefore had ye not rather be defrauded?

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

And, on account of fornication, let each have his own wife, and let each have her own husband.

Deprive ye not one another, except somewhat of an agreement for a time, that ye might have leisure for fasting and prayer; and again upon the same ye might come together, lest Satan tempt you for your want of self command.

And if they have not self command, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to be set on fire.

And to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she assents to dwell with him, let him not send her away.

But for virgins I have not an order of the Lord: and I give an opinion as compassionated by the Lord to be faithful.

And if also thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she has not sinned. And such shall have pressure to the flesh: and I spare you.

The wife and virgin have been divided. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she might be holy also in body and spirit: and she married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.

And she is happier if she so remain, according to my opinion: and I also think to have the Spirit of God.

And concerning sacrifice to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, and love builds the house.

Am I not sent? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are ye not my work in the Lord

have we not power to eat and to drink?

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife; as also the rest of the sent, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

Or I only and Barnabas, have we not power not to work?

If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it great if we shall reap your carnal things?

For if of free will I do this, I have reward: and if unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

For being free from all, I have subjected myself to all, that I might gain the more.

I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak: I have been all things to all, that altogether I might save some.

And all those happened types to them; and it was written for our reminding, to whom the ends of the times have arrived.

And I approve you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and as I have delivered to you, do ye hold the traditions.

For truly the man ought not to have the head covered, being the image and glory of God: and the woman is the glory of the man.

Therefore the woman ought to have power upon the head for the angels.

Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man truly have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?

And if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for the hair has been given her for a cloak.

And if any one seem to be loving strife, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

For, have ye not houses for eating and drinking? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them not having? What should I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise not.

For also in one Spirit were we all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or free; and we have all been given to drink into one Spirit.

The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

And what we think to be less honourable of the body, upon these we put more abundant honour; and our unseemly parts have more abundant decorum.

And our becoming parts have no need: but God blended the body together, to the wanting having given more abundant honour:

All have not the favors of healing: not all speaking with tongues: not all interpret accurately.

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I have been the brass of echoes, and the shouting cymbal.

And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

And if I feed out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

If in this life only we have been hoping in Christ, we are more to be compassionated than all men.

For he subjected all things under his feet. And when he said that all things have been subjected, it is manifest that without him having subjected all things to him.

In the day I die by: your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Recover your senses rightly, and in not; for some have a want of knowledge of God: I speak to your confusion.

And as we have borne the image of the made of earth, we shall also bear the image of the celestial.

And concerning Apollos, the brother, I besought him much that he would come to you with the brethren: and the will was not altogether that he should come now; and he will come when he should have leisure.

And I rejoice at the arrival of Stephanas and Fortunatus and : that they have filled up your necessity.

And we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have trusted in ourselves, but in God raising the dead:

Who saved us from so great a death, and does save: in whom we have hoped also that he will yet save;

And in this confidence I wished to come to you before, that ye might have a second grace;

Not that we are masters of your faith, but we are aiders of your joy: for ye have stood in the faith.

And I wrote this same to you lest, coming, I should have sadness from whom I ought to rejoice, trusting to you all, that mine is the joy of you all.

For out of much pressure and anxiety of heart I wrote to you through many tears; not that ye should be 'grieved, but that ye might know the love I have more abundantly towards you.

And if any have grieved, he has not grieved me, but by part; that I might not overload you all.

And to whom ye show any favor; I also: for also if I have shown any kindness, to whom I have shown kindness, through you in the face of Christ;

I have had no relaxation to my spirit, in my not finding Titus my brother: but having taken leave of them, I went out to Macedonia.

And we have such confidence through Christ to God:

But have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craft, neither adulterating the word of God; but by manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves to every consciousness of man before God.

And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the eminence of power be of God, and not of us.

For we know that if our earthly house of the tent were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

For also in this we groan, longing to have our dwelling from heaven put on:

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; and we are made manifest to God; and I hope also to have been made manifest to your consciences.

For not again do we recommend ourselves to you, but giving you occasion for boasting over us, that ye might have for them boasting in face, and not in heart.

So that we from now know none according to the flesh: and if also we have known Christ according to the:flesh, but now we know no more.

So that if any in Christ, a new creation: old things have passed away; behold, all have become new.

(For he says, In an acceptable time I listened to thee, and in the day of salvation have I run to succor thee: behold, now the acceptable time; behold; now the day of salvation.)

I speak not to condemnation: for I have said before, ye are in our hearts to die together, and live together.

Therefore have we been comforted in your comfort: and we rejoiced more abundantly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed from you all.

For if I have boasted anything to him of you, I was not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so also was our boasting over Titus the truth.

For if he coming proclaim another Jesus, which I proclaimed not, or ye receive another spirit, which ye received not, or other good news, which ye received not, ye have held up well.

Thrice was I scourged with rods, once was I stoned, thrice suffered I shipwreck, I have made a night and day in the deep;

I have been mad boasting; ye forced me: for I ought to have been recommended by you: for I was not greatly inferior to the sent, if also I am nothing.

Behold, I have prepared to come to you the third time; and I will not act with negligence to you: for I seek not your things, but you: for children ought not to treasure up for parents, but parents for children.

Not any of whom I have sent to you have I by him taken advantage of you.

I have said before, and say beforehand, as being present the second; and being away now I write to them having sinned before, and to all the rest, that, if I should come again, I will not spare:
