But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou a wild-olive wert grafted in among them, and art made a partaker together with them of the root and fatness of the olive; boast not against the branches:

Wilt thou say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in?

For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive, which was natural to thee, and contrary to nature were grafted into a good olive; how much more shall these who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive-tree?

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

Avenge not yourselves, my beloved; but rather give place to the wrath of others: for it is written, "Vengeance belongeth to me, I will recompence, saith the Lord."

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written, "For this cause will I celebrate Thee among the Gentiles, and sing praises unto thy name."

but now having no more to detain me in these parts, and having had a great desire for many years to come to you, when I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you:

Therefore when I have dispatched this, and sealed this fruit of love to them, I will come by you into Spain.

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

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

who will also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

every man's work shall be made manifest. For the great day will shew it; because it will be discovered by fire, and the fire will prove every man's work of what sort it is.

but if any man's work be burnt, he will be damaged; though he himself shall be saved, but, as it were out of fire.

If any one destroy the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, and this temple are ye.

Wherefore judge nothing before the time; even until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every one have praise from God.

For this end have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son and faithful in the Lord, who will bring to your remembrance my ways in Christ, how I teach every where in every church.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord please, and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power:

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be under the power of any:

meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats, but God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

And as God hath raised up the Lord, so will He raise up us by his power.

Though, if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: such however will probably have more trouble in life: but I spare you.

But if any one think that he acts unbecomingly towards his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and that it ought to be so, let him do what he will; he doth not sin: let them marry.

But he, that is stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath determined in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doth well.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth: but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord:

For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be encouraged to eat of the things sacrificed to idols?

wherefore if meat make my brother to offend, I will never eat flesh while I breathe, least I make my brother to offend.

No temptation has yet taken you but what is common to man: and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to sustain; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

and if any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together to your condemnation. And as to other things, I will set them in order when I come.

Though I will shew you a way yet more excellent.

For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle?

So also unless ye utter by the tongue intelligible words, how shall what is spoken be understood? for thus ye will be only talking to the wind.

But if I know not the force of the words, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian to me.

What is then to be done? I will pray with the Spirit, but I will pray to be understood: I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing to be understood.

It is written in the law, "By men of another language, and by other lips, will I speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to me, saith the Lord."

If then the whole church be come together and all speak in unknown tongues, and there come in illiterate persons, or infidels, will they not say that ye are mad?

And thus the secrets of his heart are made manifest; so that falling down upon his face he will worship God, declaring that God is indeed among you.

But if any will be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

Then will be the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God even the Father; when He shall have abolished all rule, and all authority, and power.

But some will say, How are the dead raised, and with what body do they come?

So also will be the resurrection of the dead. Our body is sown in corruption, it is raised incorruptible: it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory:

And when I am with you, whomsoever ye shall approve, I will send, with your letters, to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.

I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia; for I am to pass through Macedonia.

I much importuned him to come to you with the brethren: but he was not at all willing to come now; though he will come when he has a favorable opportunity.

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, and all the saints that are in Achaia:

who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver, in whom we trust that He will yet deliver us:

For we write no other things to you, but what ye own and acknowledge, and I hope ye will always acknowledge.

knowing that He, who raised up the Lord Jesus, will raise up us also by Jesus, and present us with you.

and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God: as God hath said, "I will dwell in them, and I will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."

Wherefore, "come out from the midst of them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch no unclean thing," and I will receive you:

and I will be a father unto you, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

And this they did not merely as we hoped, but first gave themselves unto the Lord, and to us by the will of God.

Now therefore perfect also the doing it; that as there was a readiness of will, so there may be also a performance according to your ability.

But we will not glory of things beyond our bounds, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath given to us, a measure to come even unto you.

And when I was present among you, and in want, I was chargeable to no one. For the brethren that came from Macedonia supplied my want: and in every thing I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

God knoweth. But what I do, I will do, that I may cut off occasion from those that desire an occasion of boasting or censure, that in what they boast of they may be found to do even as we do.

Since many boast in the flesh, I will boast also.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things which relate to my infirmity.

To boast indeed does not become me: but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, unless in my infirmities.

And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is manifested in thy weakness." With the greatest pleasure therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your substance, but your selves. For children are not expected to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

And I will with the greatest pleasure spend and be spent for your souls; even though the more I love you, the less I should be loved.

I said before, and I again tell you beforehand, as if I were present the second time; and being absent I now write to those who have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare:

But I hope ye will soon know that we are not disapproved.

Finally, my brethren, farewel: be reformed, be exhorted, be of one mind, live in peace: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

who gave himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

that ye will not think otherwise: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgement, whosoever he be.

I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the desire of the flesh:

But let every one try his own work, and then he will have matter of glorying in himself alone, and not in another.

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints, who are at Ephesus, even the faithful in Christ Jesus;

having before appointed us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will;

having made known to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure, which He had before purposed in Himself:

even in Him, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated to it according to the purpose of Him who effecteth all things after the counsel of His own will:

Wherefore be not thoughtless, but consider what is the will of the Lord.

not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

with good-will, as serving the Lord rather than men:

over all taking the shield of faith, whereby ye will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one:

being confident of this, that He who hath begun a good work in you will continue to perfect it till the day of Jesus Christ.

Some indeed through envy and strife, and some also through good-will:

What then? yet every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached: and in this I rejoice, yea and I will rejoice;

for it is God that worketh in you both to will, and to work, out of his own good-pleasure.

For I have no one of a like spirit, who will with a kind of natural affection take care of your affairs.

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, attend to this: and if in any thing ye think differently, God will reveal this also unto you.

from whence also we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ: who will change our vile body,

and what ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these practise; and the God of peace will be with you.

And my God will supply all your wants, according to his riches, in glory, by Christ Jesus.

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God,

For this cause we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to request that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:

All things concerning me will Tychicus make known to you, who is a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord:

together with Onesimus a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will inform you of all things here.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you; who always strives earnestly for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God:

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification: that ye should abstain from fornication,

for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also those, that sleep in Jesus, will God bring with Him.

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with acclamation, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

In every circumstance be thankful; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.

And then the wicked one shall be detected, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth, and abolish by the brightness of his coming:
