When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper.

Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this point I do not praise.

For I received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

For the eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.

But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged.

But being judged, we are disciplined of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.

But concerning spiritual manifestations, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

For also the body is not one member but many.

If the foot say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?

And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?

The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you.

but our comely parts have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to the part that lacked;

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

And if I shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.

Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous of others; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,

does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,

does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth,

For he that speaks with a tongue does not speak to men but to God: for no one hears; but in spirit he speaks mysteries.

Even lifeless things giving a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give not distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

If therefore I do not know the power of the sound, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks a barbarian for me.

Since otherwise, if thou blessest with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the simple Christian say Amen, at thy giving of thanks, since he does not know what thou sayest?

For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

Brethren, be not children in your minds, but in malice be babes; but in your minds be grown men.

So that tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to unbelievers; but prophecy, not to unbelievers, but to those who believe.

If therefore the whole assembly come together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and simple persons enter in, or unbelievers, will not they say ye are mad?

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

Let your women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

So that, brethren, desire to prophesy, and do not forbid the speaking with tongues.

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.

But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which was towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Now if Christ is preached that he is raised from among the dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of those that are dead?

But if there is not a resurrection of those that are dead, neither is Christ raised:

but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also is our preaching, and vain also your faith.

And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed those that are dead are not raised.

For if those that are dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;

but if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if those that are dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?

If, to speak after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if those that are dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.

Fool; what thou sowest is not quickened unless it die.

And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:

Every flesh is not the same flesh, but one is of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.

But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,

So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit.

Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity.

If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ let him be Anathema Maranatha.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened to us in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond our power, so as to despair even of living.

But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.

For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,

Now God is faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.

But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

But I have judged this with myself, not to come back to you in grief.

For if I grieve you, who also is it that gladdens me, if not he that is grieved through me?

And I have written this very letter to you, that coming I may not have grief from those from whom I ought to have joy; trusting in you all that my joy is that of you all.

For out of much tribulation and distress of heart I wrote to you, with many tears; not that ye may be grieved, but that ye may know the love which I have very abundantly towards you.

But if any one has grieved, he has grieved, not me, but in part (that I may not overcharge you) all of you.

that we might not have Satan get an advantage against us, for we are not ignorant of his thoughts.

I had no rest in my spirit at not finding Titus my brother; but bidding them adieu, I came away to Macedonia.

For we do not, as the many, make a trade of the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, before God, we speak in Christ.

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or do we need, as some, commendatory letters to you, or commendatory from you?

being manifested to be Christ's epistle ministered by us, written, not with ink, but the Spirit of the living God; not on stone tables, but on fleshy tables of the heart.

not that we are competent of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our competency is of God;

who has also made us competent, as ministers of the new covenant; not of letter, but of spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit quickens.

(But if the ministry of death, in letters, graven in stones, began with glory, so that the children of Israel could not fix their eyes on the face of Moses, on account of the glory of his face, a glory which is annulled;

how shall not rather the ministry of the Spirit subsist in glory?

For also that which was glorified is not glorified in this respect, on account of the surpassing glory.

and not according as Moses put a veil on his own face, so that the children of Israel should not fix their eyes on the end of that annulled.

Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.

But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine forth for them.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:

every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;

persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;

Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.

while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen are for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.

For we know that if our earthly tabernacle house be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

if indeed being also clothed we shall not be found naked.

For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yet we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

(for we walk by faith, not by sight;)

For we do not again commend ourselves to you, but we are giving to you occasion of boast in our behalf, that ye may have such with those boasting in countenance, and not in heart.

how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.

Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.

But as fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:

giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;

as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death;

Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your affections;

Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation is there between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness?

Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not what is unclean, and I will receive you;

I do not speak for condemnation, for I have already said that ye are in our hearts, to die together, and live together.

and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced.
