So, also, unless you, with the tongue, utter words that are intelligible, how shall that which is spoken be known? for you will speak into the air.

If, then, I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian; and he that speaks will be a barbarian to me.

What, then, is it? I will pray with the spirit which is given to me, and I will pray with my understanding also. I will sing with the spirit that is given to me, and I will sing with my understanding also.

Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit that is given to you, how will he that occupies the place of the unlearned man say Amen, when you give thanks, since he understands not what you say?

In the law it is written: Through men of other tongues and other lips will I speak to this people; and not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord.

If, then, the whole church come together into the same place, and all speak in tongues, and there come in unlearned men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are mad?

and the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God, and report that God is really among you.

If, to speak as a man, I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

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

And when I come, whatever per sons you approve, I will send with letters to carry your favor to Jerusalem.

Now I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia, for I intend to go through Macedonia;

But I will continue in Ephesus till Pentecost:

As it respects Apollos my brother, I urged him much to go to you with the brethren, yet he was not at all inclined to go now; but he will go when he has a suitable time.

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

who delivered us from so great a death, and does still deliver us: in whom we have confidence, that he will continue to deliver us,

For we write to you nothing else than what you recognize, or even acknowledge; and which I hope you will acknowledge to the end;

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

What has a temple of God in common with one of idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God has said: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

For this reason, come out from among them, and separate yourselves, says the Lord, and touch not an unclean person, and I will receive you;

and I will be to you a father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

and they did this, not only as we had hoped, but they gave them selves first to the Lord, and then to us, through the will of God;

Now, he that furnishes seed to the sower will both furnish bread for food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

Let such a one conclude thus that such as we are in word, by letters, while absent, such also will we be in deed, when present.

But we will not boast ourselves with respect to regions not measured to us; but according to the measure of the line which God, who measures, has appointed for us to reach even to you.

for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my wants; and in every thing I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and will continue to keep myself.

But what I am -doing I will also continue to do, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire an occasion, that in what they boast, they may be found even as we.

Since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.

If I must boast, I will boast in my infirmities.

To boast is not suitable for me; I will come to visions and revelations from the Lord. -

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

For though I should choose to boast, I would not be void of understanding: for I will speak the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should think of me more than what he sees me to be, or what he hears of me.

and he said to me: My grace is sufficient for you; for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may abide upon me.

Behold, I am ready the third time to come to you, and I will not burden you: for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children.

I, indeed, will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn over many of those who have already sinned, and have not repented of the uncleanness and lewdness and wantonness which they have committed.

I have foretold, and now the second time, as if I was present, though being absent, I foretell to those who have sinned, and to all others, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

But I hope that you will know that we are not without proof.

Finally, brethren, farewell; be perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace; and the God of love and of peace will be with you.

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

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

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will cultivate no other disposition: but he that troubles you, who ever he may be, shall bear his condemnation.

I say this: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

but let each one prove his own work, and then he will have cause to boast with respect to him self only, and not with respect to another:

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints that are in Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

having predestinated us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,

by making known to us the mystery of his will according to his good purpose which he had before established in himself,

in him in whom we have obtained our portion, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,

among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the feelings, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others:

and put on the new man, which, according to the will of God, is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Wherefore, the scripture says: Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.

Wherefore, be not ignorant, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

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

with good will doing service as to the Lord, and not as to men;

But that you, also, may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, my beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known all things to you;

being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you, will carry it on till the day of Jesus Christ;

Some, indeed, preach the Christ, because of envy and a contentious disposition, and some because of good-will.

those preach Christ from a contentious disposition, not sincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds.

What difference does this make? Christ is, nevertheless, preached in every way, whether in pretense or in truth; and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice:

for I know that this will result in my benefit through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but with all boldness, as at all times, so even now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

for it is God, who, of his good pleasure, works in you both the will and the power to perform.

for I have no one of a kindred spirit who will sincerely care for your condition:

But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

Let us, therefore, as many as are fully enlightened, be of this mind: and if you are of another mind with respect to any thing, God will reveal even this to you.

who will transform our humbled body, and make it like his glorious body, according to that power by which he is able to subdue all things to himself.

and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Do those things which you have learned and received, and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

But my God will supply all your need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

I PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, I and Timothy my brother,

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

and these have a show of wisdom in will-worship and affected humility and neglect of the body, and in no regard for the gratification of the flesh.

knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.

All that relates to me, Tychicus, my beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord, will make known to you.

I have sent him with Onesimus, my faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known all things that are done here.

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

For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you keep yourselves from lewdness;

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also should we believe that God will, through Jesus, bring with him those who sleep.

for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall arise first;

in every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Faithful is he that calls you; and he will do what he has promised.

Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come, unless the apostasy come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

For the mystery of iniquity is already at work; only he that now restrains will restrain, till he be taken out of the way:

and then shall that lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy by the spirit of his mouth, and will utterly over throw by the brightness of his coming:

he will destroy him, whose coming is, according to the energy of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,

And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, in order that they may believe a lie,

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you, and keep you from the evil one.

And we have confidence in the Lord with respect to you, that you both do, and will continue to do, the things which we command you.

For when we were with you, we gave you this commandment, that if any one will not work, neither let him eat.

I will, therefore, that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands without wrath and disputation.

In like manner, also, I will that the women adorn themselves with decorous dress, with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly raiment,

for if a man knows not how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?

By recommending these things to the attention of the brethren, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, being nourished with the words of the faith, and of good teaching, which you have fully known.

Take heed to yourself, and to your teaching; continue in them; for by doing this, you will save both yourself, and those who hear you.

I will, therefore, that the younger widows marry, bear children, man age the house, and thus give no occasion to the adversaries to speak reproachfully.

But those who will be rich fail into temptation and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful desires, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

which, in his own times, he will show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus,

if we are patient, we shall also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us;

But shun profane and vain babblings; for they will make further advance to ungodliness,

and their word will eat as a gangrene: of whom are Hyrnenaeus and Philetus,
