For now we see by a mirror in an enigma; then face to face: now I know by parts; and then shall I know as I was known.

For he speaking in a tongue speaks not to men, but to God: (for none hears; and in the spirit he speaks mysteries.)

And he prophesying speaks to men for building the house, and entreaty, and encouragement.

And I will ye all to speak with tongues, and rather that ye prophesy; for geater he prophesying, than he speaking with tongues, unless he interpret accurately, that the church receive building up.

For also if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?

So also ye, except by the tongue ye give an evident word, how shall the speaking be known? for ye shall be speaking into the air.

So also ye, since ye are zealous of spirits, for the building up of the church seek that ye may abound.

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, and my mind is unfruitful.

For thou truly givest thanks well, but the other is not built up.

So that tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving: and the gift of prophecy, not to the unbelieving, but to the believing.

Therefore, what is it brethren when ye come together, every one of you has a Psalms, has teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretatior. Let all things be for the building of the house.

For ye are all able to prophesy one by one, that all might learn, and all might be encouraged.

For God is not of unsteadiness, but of peace, as in all the churches of the holy ones.

Let your women be silent in the churches: for it has not been committed to them to speak; but to be subjected, as also says the law.

And if they will learn anything, let them ask their own husbands in the house; for it is shameful for women to speak in the church.

For I delivered to you among the first, what I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the writings;

Then was he seen by above five hundred brethren once for all; of whom the most remain till now, and some also are laid to rest.

For I am the least of the sent, who am not fit to be called sent, for I drove out the church of God.

And we are also found false witnesses of God; for we testified for God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if therefore the dead are not raised.

For if the dead are not raised, neither was Christ raised up:

For since by man death, also by man the rising up of the dead.

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

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

For he subjected all things under his feet. And when he said that all things have been subjected, it is manifest that without him having subjected all things to him.

For what shall they do being immersed for the dead, if in fine the dead rise not? and why are they immersed for the dead?

If according to man I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what the profit to me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

Recover your senses rightly, and in not; for some have a want of knowledge of God: I speak to your confusion.

One glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for star differs from star in glory.

In an atom, in the twinkling of the eye, in the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

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

And concerning the collection for the holy ones, as I appointed to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

And if it be suitable for me also to go, they shall go with me.

And I will come to you, when I pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

For I will not see you now in coming forward; but I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord permit.

For a door has stood open to me, great and effective, and many opposed.

And if Timotheus come, see ye that he be with you fearlessly: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also.

Therefore no one should despise him: and send ye him forward in peace, that he might come to me: for I expect him with the brethren.

And I beseech you brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and they arranged themselves for service to the holy ones,)

For they refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore observe ye such.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so by Christ abounds also our comfort.

And whether we are pressed, for your comfort and salvation, being well wrought in endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer: whether we are comforted, for your comfort and salvation.

And our hope firm for you, knowing, that as ye are participators of the sufferings, so also of the comfort.

For we wish you not to be ignorant, brethren, of our pressure having been to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly loaded, above strength, so that we were in utter perplexity even to live:

And ye serving together for us in prayer, that of many faces, the favor to us by many thanks be returned by us.

For our boasting is this, the testimony of our consciousness, that in simplicity and purity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we turned back in the world, and more eminently to you.

For we write no others to you, but what ye either know or also observe; and I hope that also even to the end ye will observe;

And God faithful, for our word to you was not yea or nay.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who proclaimed in you by us, by me, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but was yea in him.

Forasmuch as the solemn promises of God in him yea, and in him Amen, for glory to God by us.

Not that we are masters of your faith, but we are aiders of your joy: for ye have stood in the faith.

For if I grieve you, and who is he making me glad, except he being grieved by me

For out of much pressure and anxiety of heart I wrote to you through many tears; not that ye should be 'grieved, but that ye might know the love I have more abundantly towards you.

For, for this I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, if ye are obedient for all things.

And to whom ye show any favor; I also: for also if I have shown any kindness, to whom I have shown kindness, through you in the face of Christ;

That we might not be taken advantage of by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his inventions.

And coming to Troas for the good news of Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the Lord,

For we are to God a sweet odor of Christ, in the saved, and in the host:

Truly to those an odor of death into death; and to those an odor of life into life. And who sufficient for these things?

For we are not as the many adulterating the word of God: but as of purity, but as of God, before the face of God speak we in Christ.

Who rendered as fitting servants of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter kills, and the Spirit makes alive.

And if the service of death, in letters imprinted in stones, was in glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently to the face of Moses for the glory of his face; being left unemployed

For if the service of condemnation glory, much more the service of justice abounds in glory.

For also that having been glorified has not been glorified in this part, for sake of the glory excelling.

For if that left unemployed by glory, much more that remaining in glory.

But their minds were hardened: for until this day the same veil upon the reading of the old covenant. remains not uncovered;for in Christ it is left unemployed.

For this, having this service, as we were compassionated, we lose not courage;

For we proclaim not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus.

For God, having spoken light to shine out of darkness, who shone in our hearts, to the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

For we, the living, are always delivered to death for Jesus, that also the life of Jesus be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

For all things for you, that grace, having abounded by the many, might abound in thanksgiving to the glory of God.

For the present moment the lightness of our pressure works to us an eternal weight of glory, as eminence upon eminence;

We looking not at things seen, but at things not seen: for things seen, temporary; and things not seen, eternal

For we know that if our earthly house of the tent were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

For also in this we groan, longing to have our dwelling from heaven put on:

For also being in the tent we groan, being loaded: since we wish not to be unclothed, but to be clothed, that the mortal should be swallowed up of life.

(For we walk by faith, and not by external appearance:)

For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of Christ; that each might receive the things for the body, for what he did, good or bad.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; and we are made manifest to God; and I hope also to have been made manifest to your consciences.

For not again do we recommend ourselves to you, but giving you occasion for boasting over us, that ye might have for them boasting in face, and not in heart.

For whether we be beside ourselves, to God: or be of sound mind, to you.

For the love of Christ holds us together; having judged this, that if one died for all, then all dead:

And he died for all, that the living no more live to themselves, but o him having died for them, and having risen.

For as God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their faults; and having set in us the word of reconciliation.

For Christ therefore are we ambassadors, as of God beseeching by us: we pray for the sake of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

For him not knowing sin, he made sin for us; that we might be the justice of God in him.

(For he says, In an acceptable time I listened to thee, and in the day of salvation have I run to succor thee: behold, now the acceptable time; behold; now the day of salvation.)

And for the same recompense, (I speak as to children,) be ye yourselves also enlarged.

Be not unequally yoked together with the unbelieving: for what participation to justice and iniquity and what communion to light with darkness?

And what agreement to the temple of God with images? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God said, That I will dwell in them, and will go round about; and will be their God, and they shall be a people to me.

And I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

Therefore having these declarations, dearly let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

I speak not to condemnation: for I have said before, ye are in our hearts to die together, and live together.

For also, we having come to Macedonia, our flesh had no relaxation, but pressed in everything; without conflicts, within fears.

And not only in his arrival, but also in the comfort which he was comforted in you, announcing to us your anxious desire, your lamentations, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more.

For if I also grieved you in the epistle, I regret not, and if I did regret: for I see that that epistle, if also for a time, grieved you.

Now I rejoice, not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved to repentance: for ye were grieved according to God, that ye be injured in nothing by us.

For grief according to God works repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but grief of the world works death.

For behold, this same that ye grieve according to God, what care it wrought in you, but defence, but indignation, but fear, but anxious desire, but zeal, but punishing! In every thing ye recommended yourselves to be holy in this affair.

Wherefore, if I also wrote to you, not for him having been unjust, for him having suffered injustice, but that your care for us might be made manifest to you before God.

Therefore have we been comforted in your comfort: and we rejoiced more abundantly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed from you all.
