so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth.

but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this before unbelievers!

but ye -- ye do injustice, and ye defraud, and these -- brethren!

And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I -- I will not be under authority by any;

the meats are for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife.

for I wish all men to be even as I myself am; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.

and to the married I announce -- not I, but the Lord -- let not a wife separate from a husband:

but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife.

for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing -- but a keeping of the commands of God.

a servant -- wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free -- use it rather;

But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you.

And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly,

And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffeth up, but love buildeth up;

but not in all men is the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an idol do eat it, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind;

but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm,

if others do partake of the authority over you -- not we more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the Christ.

to those without law, as without law -- (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ) -- that I might gain those without law;

have ye not known that those running in a race -- all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain;

and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible;

but I chastise my body, and bring it into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others -- I myself may become disapproved.

but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,

No temptation hath taken you -- except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear it.

no, but that the things that the nations sacrifice -- they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.

All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up;

let no one seek his own -- but each another's.

and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why is it that my liberty is judged by another's conscience?

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

for a man is not of a woman, but a woman is of a man,

for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

but neither is a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,

And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;

for also the body is not one member, but many;

But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary,

and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour,

that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,

for he who is speaking in an unknown tongue -- to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;

for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up!

but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an unknown tongue.

Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect;

so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy is not for the unbelieving, but for the believing,

for God is not a God of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith;

and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me;

But some one will say, 'How do the dead rise?

and that which thou dost sow, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some one of the others,

All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds;

and there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one is the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly;

but that which is spiritual is not first, but that which was natural, afterwards that which is spiritual.

for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit;

but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,

for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached -- through me and Silvanus and Timotheus -- did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;

not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.

for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.

And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;

I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;

for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity -- but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.

manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart,

not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God,

who also made us sufficient to be ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.

but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn -- which in Christ is being made useless --

but till to-day, when Moses is read, a vail upon their heart doth lie,

but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;

for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus -- Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;

on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;

persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen are temporary, but the things not seen are age-during.

for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.

for not again ourselves do we recommend to you, but we are giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that ye may have something in reference to those glorifying in face and not in heart;

and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,

for also we, having come to Macedonia, no relaxation hath our flesh had, but on every side we are in tribulation, without are fightings, within -- fears;

but He who is comforting the cast-down -- God -- He did comfort us in the presence of Titus;

and not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I did rejoice,

I now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us;

for, lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward God -- how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.

If, then, I also wrote to you -- not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God --

because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,

and not according as we expected, but themselves they did give first to the Lord, and to us, through the will of God,

but even as in every thing ye do abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace ye may abound;

not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness,

and an opinion in this do I give: for this to you is expedient, who not only to do, but also to will, did begin before -- a year ago,

but by equality, at the present time your abundance -- for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality,

and not only so, but who was also appointed by vote by the assemblies, our fellow-traveller, with this favour that is ministered by us, unto the glory of the same Lord, and your willing mind;

providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men;

because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,

For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, among themselves measuring themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise,

and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast ourselves, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure did appoint to us -- to reach even unto you;

for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.

O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly, but ye also do bear with me:

and even if unlearned in word -- yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.

That which I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;

for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of me;
