Trial, hath not taken you, save such as man can bear; faithful, moreover is God, who will not suffer you to be tried above what ye are able, but will make, with the trial, also the way of escape, that ye may be able to hold out.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not, a sharing together of the blood of the Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not, a sharing together of the body of the Christ?

Be looking at Israel after the flesh: - are not, they who eat the sacrifices, joint partakers with the altar?

On the contrary - that, the things which the nations sacrifice, unto demons, and not unto God, they sacrifice; and I wish not that ye should become, sharers together with the demons!

All things are allowable - but, not all things, are profitable, - all things are allowable - but, not all things, upbuild.

If one of them who believe not invite you, and ye are disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you, eat, - asking no question, for conscience sake.

But, if anyone should say unto you, - This, is, a holy sacrifice, do not eat, for that man's sake who disclosed it, and for conscience sake: -

But, conscience, I mean, not thine own, but the other's, - for why is my freedom to be judged by another's conscience?

Even as, I also, in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

For, if a woman doth not veil herself, let her also be shorn; but, if it were a shame in a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

For, a man, indeed, ought not to be veiling his head, being, the image and glory of God, - but, the woman, is the glory of man;

For, man, is not, of woman, but, woman, of man;

For also man was not created, for the sake of the woman, but woman, for the sake of the man.

Doth not, even nature herself, teach you - that, if, a man, have long hair, it is a dishonour to him;

But, in giving you the following charge, I praise you not, - in that, not for the better, but for the worse, ye come together.

When, therefore, ye come together into one place, it is not to eat, a supper unto the Lord;

What! have ye not houses for your eating and drinking? or, the assembly of God, do ye despise, and, put to shame them who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall I praise you? In this, I praise you not.

For, I myself, received from the Lord - that which I also delivered unto you, - how that, the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was being delivered up, took a loaf,

For, he that is eating and drinking, - judgment unto himself, doth eat and drink, - if he be not setting apart the body.

For this cause, many among you are weak and sickly; and, not a few, are falling asleep.

If, however, we had been setting, ourselves, apart, we had not, in that case, been coming under judgment;

But, concerning the spiritually gifted, brethren, I am not wishing you to be ignorant.

For, the body also, is not one member, but many:

Though the foot should say - Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, of the body?

And, though the ear should say - Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, of the body?

Andthe eye cannot say unto the hand - I have no need of thee, - nor, again, the head, unto the feet - I have no need of you: -

Whereas, our comely parts, have, no need. But, God, hath tempered the body together, - unto that which was lacking, giving more abundant honour; -

Although with the tongues of men, I be speaking, and of messengers, and have not, love, I have become resounding brass, or a clanging cymbal;

And, though I have the gift of prophesying, and know all sacred secrets, and all knowledge, - and though I have all faith, so as to be removing mountains, and have not, love, I am, nothing;

And, though I morsel out all my goods, - and though I deliver up my body, that I may boast, and have not, love, I am profited, nothing.

Love, is patient, is gracious. Love, is not envious, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Acteth not unbecomingly, seeketh not her own things, is not easily provoked, imputeth not that which is base,

Rejoiceth not over unrighteousness, but rejoiceth in sympathy with truth, -

For, he that speaketh with a tongue, not unto men, doth speak, but, unto God, - for, no one, understandeth, although, in spirit, he is speaking sacred secrets;

In like manner, the things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, if, a distinction in the sounds, they do not give, how shall it be known, what is being piped or harped?

There may happen to be so many kinds of languages in the world, and, not one, unspoken: -

If, then, I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be, unto him that is speaking, a foreigner, and, he that is speaking, shall be, in my case, a foreigner.

Else, if thou be blessing in a spirit, he that filleth up the place of the ungifted person, how shall he say the Amen upon thy thanksgiving? since indeed, what thou art saying, he knoweth not;

For, thou, indeed, excellently art giving thanks, but, the other, is not being built up.

Brethren! do not become children, in your understandings; but, in baseness, become babes, while, in your understandings, ye become, full-grown.

In the law, it is written - With strange tongues, and with lips of strangers, will I speak unto this people; and, not even so, will they hearken unto me, - saith the Lord.

So that, the tongues, are for a sign - not unto them that believe, but, unto them that believe not; whereas, prophesying, is not for them that believe not, but, for them that believe.

If, then, the whole assembly come together with one consent, and, all, are speaking with tongues, - and there come in persons unskilled or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are raving?

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

As for the women, in the assemblies, let them be silent, for it is not permitted them to be speaking; but let them be in submission, - even as, the law, saith.

But, if anyone knoweth not, he is unknown!

So, then, my brethren, - be zealous to prophesy, and do not forbid, to be speaking with tongues;

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

But, by favour of God, I am what I am, and, his favour, which was unto me, hath not been made void, - but, much more abundantly than they all, have I toiled, albeit not, I, but the favour of God with me.

But, if, resurrection of the dead, there is none, not even Christ, hath been raised;

And, if Christ, hath not been raised, void, after all, is our proclamation, void also, our faith, -

And we are found, even false-witnesses of God, because we have witnessed respecting God, that he raised the Christ, - whom he did not raise, if, indeed, after all, the dead are not raised!

For, if the dead are not raised, not even Christ, hath been raised;

And, if Christ hath not been raised, to no purpose, is your faith, yet, are ye in your sins!

Else, what will they do, who are being immersed in behalf of the dead? If, not at all, are the dead to be raised, why are they even being immersed in their behalf?

If, after the manner of men, I have fought with wild-beasts at Ephesus, what, to me, the profit? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for, tomorrow, we die.

Be not deceiving yourselves, - evil communications corrupt gentle manners: -

Wake up to sobriety, in righteousness, and be not committing sin; for some have, an ignorance of God: for shame, unto you, am I speaking!

Simple one! What, thou, sowest, is not quickened, except it die;

And, what thou sowest, not the body that shall come into existence, dost thou sow, but a naked kernel - if it so happen, of wheat, or of any of the rest, -

Not all flesh, is the same flesh; but, one, indeed, is, the flesh of men, and, another, the flesh of beasts, and, another, the flesh of birds, and, another, of fishes;

Howbeit, not first, is the body of the spirit, but that, of the soul, - afterwards, that of the spirit.

Lo! a sacred secret, unto you, do I declare: - we shall not, all, sleep, but we shall, all, be changed, -

So, then, my beloved brethren, - become ye, steadfast, immovable, superabounding in the work of the Lord, at all times; knowing that, your toil, is not in vain in the Lord.

For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, with you, - if, the Lord, permit.

If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema that is, "accursed" : Maran atha that is, "The Lord, cometh" .

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened in Asia, - that, exceedingly, beyond power, were we weighed down, so that we despaired, even of life.

But, we ourselves, within ourselves, have had the sentence of death, that we might not rest our confidence upon ourselves, but upon God, who raiseth the dead,

For, our boasting, is, this, - the witness of our conscience, that, in sanctity and sincerity of God, and not in fleshly wisdom, but in God's favour, have we behaved ourselves in the world, - and more abundantly towards you.

Faithful, however, is God, in that, our discourse, which was delivered unto you, is not Yea and Nay;

For, the Son of God, Christ Jesus - who, among you, through us, was proclaimed, - through me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, became not Yea and Nay, - but Yea, in him, hath it become;

But, I, call upon God, as a witness, against my own soul, - that, to spare you, not yet, have I come unto Corinth:

Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are, helpers, of your joy, for, by your faith, ye stand.

For I have determined, unto myself, this - not, again, in grief, to come unto you.

And I wrote this very thing - lest, if I came, I should have, grief, from those over whom I had need to rejoice, - having confidence in you all, that, my joy, is the joy, of you all.

For, out of much tribulation and anguish of heart, wrote I unto you, through many tears, - not that ye might be grieved, but that, the love, ye might know, which I have very abundantly unto you.

Now, if anyone hath caused grief, not unto me hath he caused grief, but - that I may not bear too heavily - unto you all.

Lest we should be overreached by Satan, for, of his thoughts, we are not ignorant.

I had no relief in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but, taking my leave of them, I came away into Macedonia.

For we are not, as the many, driving a petty trade with the word of God; but, as of sincerity, but, as of God, before God, in Christ, we speak.

Are we to begin again, ourselves, to commend? or have we need, like some, of commendatory letters unto you, or from you?

Manifesting yourselves that ye are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, - inscribed - not with ink, but with the Spirit of a Living God, not in tablets of stone, but in tablets which are hearts of flesh.

Not that, of our own selves, sufficient, are we, to reckon anything as of ourselves, but, our sufficiency, is of God; -

Who also hath made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant - not of letter, but of spirit, for, the letter, killeth, whereas, the Spirit, maketh alive.

But, if, the ministry of death, in letters engraven in stones, was brought into existence with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look steadfastly into the face of Moses, by reason of the glory of his face - which glory was to be done away,

How shall not, rather, the ministry of the Spirit, be with glory?

For that which hath been made glorious, hath not even been made glorious, in this respect, - by reason of the surpassing glory.

And are not just like Moses, who kept putting a veil upon his face, so that the sons of Israel should not look steadily unto the end of that which was to be done away.

But their thoughts were turned into stone: for, until this very day, the same veil, upon the reading of the old covenant, abideth, not to be removed, because, in Christ, it is to be done away;

Wherefore, having this ministry, even as we received mercy, we faint not;

But have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, - but, by the manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves unto every conscience of men, in the sight of God.

In whom, the god of this age, hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, to the end they may not discern the radiance e of the glad-message of the glory of the Christ - who is the image of God.

For, not ourselves, do we proclaim, but Christ Jesus, as Lord, and, ourselves, as your servants for Jesus' sake.

Howbeit we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that, the surpassing greatness of the power, may be of God, and not from ourselves: -

On every side, pressed hard, but not hemmed in, without a way, but not without a by-way,

Pursued, but not abandoned, thrown down, but not destroyed; -

Wherefore we faint not, but, even if, our outer man, is decaying, nevertheless, our inner man , is renewing day by day.

So long as we are not looking out for the visible things, but for the invisible; for, the visible things, are temporary, whereas, the invisible, are age-abiding.

For we know that - -if, our earthly tent-dwelling, should be taken down, we have, a building of God, a dwelling not made by hand, age-abiding in the heavens.

Although, indeed, even clothing ourselves, we shall not be found, naked; -
