For none of us liveth his own servant: and also neither doth any of us die his own servant.

Whether we live therefore or die, we are the Lord's. For Christ therefore died and rose again, and revived, that he might be Lord both of dead and quick.

For it is written, "As truly as I live, saith the Lord, all knees shall bow to me, and all tongues shall give a knowledge to God."

For I know, and am full certified in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing common of itself: but unto him that judgeth it to be common, to him it is common.

If thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace and joy, in the holy ghost.

For whosoever in these things serveth Christ, pleaseth well God: and is commended of men.

Let us follow those things which make for peace: and things wherewith one may edify another.

Destroy not the work of God for a little meat's sake. All things are pure: but it is evil for that man, which eateth with hurt of his conscience.

For he that maketh conscience, is damned if he eat: Because he doth it not of faith. For whatsoever is not of faith, that same is sin.

For Christ pleased not himself: but as it is written, "The rebukes of them which rebuked thee, fell on me."

Whatsoever things are written aforetime, are written for our learning: that we, through patience and comfort of the scripture, might have hope.

And I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.

And let the gentiles praise God for his mercy. As it is written, "For this cause I will praise thee among the gentiles, and sing in thy name."

for this purpose: that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ among the gentiles, and should minister the glad tidings of God, that the gentiles might be an acceptable offering, sanctified by the holy ghost.

For I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the gentiles obedient, with word and deed,

For this cause I have been oft let to come unto you:

For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia, to make a certain distribution upon the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

It hath pleased them verily, and their debtors are they. For if the gentiles be made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is to minister unto them in carnal things.

I beseech you brethren for our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the spirit, that ye help me in my business, with your prayers to God for me,

that ye receive her in the Lord as it becometh saints, and that ye assist her, in whatsoever business she needeth of your aid. For she hath succored many, and mine own self also.

which have for my life laid down their own necks. Unto which not I only give thanks: but also the congregations of the gentiles.

For they that are such serve not the Lord Jesus Christ: but their own bellies. And with sweet preachings and flattering words deceive the hearts of the innocents:

for your obedience extendeth to all men. I am glad no doubt of you. But yet I would have you wise unto that which is good. And to be innocent as concerning evil.

To the same God, which alone is wise, be praise through Jesus Christ for ever Amen. {To the Romans. Sent from Corinth by Phoebe, she that was the minister unto the congregation at Cenchreae}

I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ,

so that ye are behind in no gift, and wait for the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ

For God is faithful, by whom ye are called unto the fellowship of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Either were ye baptised in the name of Paul?

For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should have been made of none effect.

For the preaching of the cross is, to them that perish, foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent."

For when the world, through wisdom, knew not God in the wisdom of God: it pleased God through foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: And the weakness of God is stronger than are men.

And vile things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things of no reputation, for to bring to nought things of reputation,

And I was among you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

which wisdom none of the rulers of the world knew. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But as it is written, "The eye hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, yea the bottom of God's secrets.

For what man knoweth the things of a man: save the spirit of a man which is within him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God.

And we have not received the spirit of the world: but the spirit which cometh of God, for to know the things that are given to us of God,

For the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are but foolishness unto him: Neither can he perceive them, because he is spiritually examined.

"For who knoweth the mind of the Lord, other who shall inform him?" But we understand the mind of Christ.

I gave you milk to drink and not meat. For ye then were not strong - no, neither yet are strong.

For ye are yet carnal. As long verily as there is among you envying, strife and dissension: are ye not carnal, and walk after the manner of men?

For other foundation can no man lay, than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

every man's work shall appear. For the day shall declare it, and it shall be showed in fire, and the fire shall try every man's work what it is.

If any man's work burn; he shall suffer loss. But he shall be safe himself, nevertheless yet as it were through fire.

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He compasseth the wise in their craftiness."

Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours,

These things, brethren, I have described in mine own person, and Apollos, for your sakes - that ye might learn by us that no man count of himself beyond that which is above written: that one swell not against another for any man's cause.

For who preferreth thee? What hast thou, that thou hast not received? If thou have received it: why boastest thou as though thou hadst not received it?

Me thinketh that God hath set forth us, which are apostles, for the lowest of all: as it were, men appointed to death. For we are a gazingstock unto the world, and to the angels, and to men.

We are fools for Christ's sake, and ye are wise through Christ: we are weak, and ye are strong. Ye are honorable, and we are despised.

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ: yet have ye not many fathers. In Christ Jesus, I have begotten you through the gospel.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, which is my dear son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my ways which I have in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in all congregations.

For the Kingdom of God is not in words, but in power.

For I, verily, as absent in body, even so present in spirit, have determined already - as though I were present - of him that hath done this deed;

to deliver him unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Purge therefore the old leaven, that ye may be new dough, as ye are sweet bread. For Christ our Easter lamb is offered up for us.

And I meant not at all of the fornicators of this world, either of the covetous, or of extortioners, either of the idolaters - for then must ye needs have gone out of the world -

For what have I to do to judge them which are without? Do ye not judge them that are within?

Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. For neither fornicators, neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind,

Meats are ordained for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Let not the body be applied unto fornication, but unto the Lord, and the Lord unto the body.

Do ye not understand that he which coupleth himself with a harlot, is become one body? "For two," saith he, "shall be one flesh."

For ye are dearly bought. Therefore glorify ye God in your bodies and in your spirits, for they are God's.

As concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man, not to touch a woman.

Withdraw not yourselves one from another except it be with consent for a time, for to give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and afterward come again to the same thing, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.

For I would that all men were as I myself am: but every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, another after that.

I say unto the unmarried men, and widows: it is good for them if they abide even as I do,

but and if they cannot abstain, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife: and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband. Or else were your children unclean: but now are they pure.

For how knowest thou o woman, whether thou shalt save that man or no? Other, how knowest thou o man, whether thou shalt save that woman or no?

Art thou called a servant? Care not for it. Nevertheless if thou mayst be free, use it rather.

For he that is called in the Lord being a servant, is the Lord's freeman. Likewise he that is called being free, is Christ's servant.

I suppose that it is good for the present necessity. For it is good for a man so to be.

And they that use this world, be as though they used it not: For the fashion of this world goeth away.

I would have you without care; the single man careth for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

but he that hath married, careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

There is difference between a virgin and a wife. The single woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be pure both in body and also in spirit: but she that is married, careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

This speak I for your profit, not to tangle you in a snare: but for that which is honest and comely unto you; And that ye may quietly cleave unto the Lord without separation.

If any man think that it is uncomely for his virgin if she pass the time of marriage, and if so need require, let him do what he listeth, he sinneth not: let them be coupled in marriage.

But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that there is an idol, until this hour, and eat as of a thing offered unto the idol, and so their consciences being yet weak are defiled.

For if some man see thee, which hast knowledge, sit at meat in the idol's temple shall not the conscience of him which is weak be boldened to eat those things which are offered unto the idol?

And so through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish for whom Christ died.

Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are not ye my work in the Lord?

If I be not an apostle unto others, yet am I unto you. For the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

For it is written in the law of Moses, "Thou shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn." Doth God take thought for oxen?

Either saith he it not altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he which eareth should ear in hope: and that he which thresheth in hope, should be partaker of his hope.

But I have used none of these things. Neither wrote I these things that it should be so done unto me. For it were better for me to die than any man should take this rejoicing from me.

In that I preach the gospel, I have nothing to rejoice of. For necessity is put unto me. Woe is it unto me if I preach not the gospel.

What is my reward then? Verily that when I preach the gospel, I make the gospel of Christ free, that I misuse not mine authority in the gospel.

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all men, that I might win the more.

And this I do for the Gospel's sake, that I might have my part thereof.

But in many of them had God no delight. For they were overthrown in the wilderness.

All these things happened upon them for examples, and were written to put us in remembrance, whom the ends of the world are come upon.

Whatsoever is sold in the market, that eat, and ask no questions for conscience sake.

For the earth is the Lord's, and all that therein is.
