so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And I, brothers, when I came to you, did not come with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

But, we speak wisdom among those who are perfect; yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nothing.

whether it is Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours,

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then shall each one have praise of God.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills. And I will not know the speech of those who are puffed up, but the power.

What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and the spirit of meekness?

Do not deprive one another, unless it is with consent for a time, so that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. And come together again so that Satan does not tempt you for your incontinence.

And all these things happened to them as examples; and it is written for our warning on whom the ends of the world have come.

But in enjoining this, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

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

Therefore when you come together into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

For "as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you show" the Lord's death until He shall come.

So that, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

But if anyone hungers, let him eat at home, so that you do not come together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

But when the perfect thing comes, then that which is in part will be caused to cease.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you, except I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?

Therefore if the whole church has come together, and all speak in languages, and if uninstructed ones or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you rave?

But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or one not instructed comes, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all.

Then how is it, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be for building up.

But someone will say, How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?

On the first of the sabbaths let each of you put by himself, storing up what ever he is prospered, so that there may be no collections when I come.

And when I come, whomever you shall approve by your letters, I will send them to bring your gift to Jerusalem.

But I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia; for I am going through Macedonia.

But if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he works the work of the Lord, even as I do.

Therefore let not any despise him, but set him forward in peace, so that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brothers.

As regards our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not altogether his will that he come now. But he will come when he has opportunity.

If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes!
