For if any man shall see thee, who hast knowledge, sit eating in the idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;

And 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 ye not my work in the Lord?

If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you: for ye are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

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

Or saith he this altogether for our sakes? for our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of: for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I preach not the gospel!

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed to me.

For though I am free from all men, yet I have made myself servant to all, that I might gain the more.

And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

And all drank the same spiritual drink: (for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.)

But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

Now all these things happened to them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Whatever is sold in the provision market, that eat, asking no question for conscience' sake:

For the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness.

But if any man shall say to you, This is offered in sacrifice to idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience' sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness:

Conscience, I say, not thy own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?

For if I by grace am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered, dishonoreth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaved.

For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man.

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head, because of the angels.

For as the woman is from the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things from God.

But if a woman hath long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Now in this that I declare to you, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

For there must be also heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.

For in eating every one taketh before another his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

For I have received from the Lord, that which also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread:

And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he shall come.

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man for profit.

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another, the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

For the body is not one member, but many.

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked:

That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

For he that speaketh in an unknown language, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no man understandeth him; yet in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

I would that ye all spoke in languages, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh in languages, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

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

So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will speak into the air.

For if I pray in an unknown language, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

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

In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak to this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

Wherefore languages are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them who believe.

For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Let your women keep silence in the churches; for it is not permitted to them to speak: but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

For I delivered to you first of all, that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;

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

For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted who did put all things under him.

Else what will they do, who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

Now I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I am to pass through Macedonia.

For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

For a great door and effectual is opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

Now if Timothy come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I look for him with the brethren.

I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part, they have supplied.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

And whether we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life:

Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our manner of life in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

For we write no other things to you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye will acknowledge even to the end;

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us.

Moreover, I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I have not as yet come to Corinth.

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

For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same who is made sorry by me?

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly to you.

For to this end also I wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.

To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes I forgave it, in the person of Christ;

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

For we are to God a sweet savor of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

To the one we are the savor of death to death; and to the other the savor of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?
