Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in carousings and drinking; not in co-habitation and lustful acts; not in strife and envy.

Do not let him who eats despise him who does not eat; and do not let him who does not eat judge him who eats, for God has received him.

One indeed esteems a day above another day; and another esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully assured in his own mind.

Then let us not judge one another any more, but rather judge this, not to put a stumbling-block or an offense toward his brother.

Then do not let your good be spoken evil of,

So then let us pursue the things of peace, and the things for building up one another.

Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good, to building up.

who have laid down their own necks for my life; to whom not only I give thanks, but also the churches of the nations.

so that, according as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord."

According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let every man be careful how he builds on it.

For any other foundation can no one lay than the one being laid, who is Jesus Christ.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool so that he may be wise.

Therefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours,

So let a man think of us as ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

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.

Therefore let us keep the feast; not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? Let it not be!

But, because of the fornications, let each have his own wife, and let each have her own husband.

Let the husband give to the wife proper kindness, and likewise the wife also to the husband.

But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

But if she is indeed separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to leave his wife.

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to dwell with him, do not let him put her away.

And the woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is pleased to dwell with her, do not let her leave him.

But if the unbelieving one separates, let him be separated. A brother or a sister is not in bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.

Let each one remain in the calling in which he was called.

But if anyone thinks it behaving himself indecently toward his virgin (if she is past her prime, and so it ought to be) let him do what he will; he does not sin; let them marry.

Do we not have authority to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brothers of the Lord do, and Cephas?

For though I preach the gospel, no glory is to me. For necessity is laid on me; yea, woe is to me if I do not preach the gospel!

But I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest proclaiming to others I myself might be rejected.

Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them fornicated, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted Him and were destroyed by serpents.

So let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

Let no one seek his own, but each one another's.

For if the woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup.

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.

You know that being led away, you nations were led to dumb idols.

So then he speaking in a language, let him pray that he may interpret.

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.

If one speaks in a language, let it be by two, or at the most three, and in succession. And let one interpret.

But if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in a church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

And if there are two or three prophets, let them speak, and let the others judge.

If a revelation is revealed to another sitting by, let the first be silent.

Let your women be silent in the churches; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the Law also says.

And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in a church.

If anyone thinks to be a prophet, or a spiritual one, let him recognize the things I write to you, that they are a commandment of the Lord.

But if any is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

Let all things be done decently and in order.

If according to man I fought with beasts in Ephesus, what advantage is to me if the dead are not raised? "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

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.

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.

Let all your things be done in charity.

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

Let my love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving ones, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ (who is the image of God) should not dawn on them.

For it is God who said, "Out of darkness Light shall shine;" who shone in our hearts to give the brightness of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship does righteousness have with lawlessness? And what partnership does light have with darkness?

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

Each one, as he purposes in his heart, let him give; not of grief, or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Do you look at things according to appearance? If anyone has persuaded himself that he is Christ's, let him think this again as to himself, that as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's.

Let such a one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters, being absent, such we will be also in deed when we are present.

But he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.

Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light?

Again I say, Let no one think me foolish. If otherwise, yet receive me as foolish, so that I may also boast a little.

And I was let down in a basket through a window through the wall, and escaped their hands.

But let it be so, I did not burden you. But being crafty, I caught you with bait.

But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed.

As we said before, and now I say again, If anyone preaches a gospel to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed.

And the rest of the Jews also dissembled with him, so as even Barnabas was led away with their dissembling.

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we also were found to be sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Let it not be said!

Is the Law then against the promises of God? Let it not be said! For if a law had been given which could have given life, indeed righteousness would have been out of Law.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not become glory-seeking, provoking one another, envying one another.

But let each one prove his own work, and then he alone will have a boast in himself, and not in another.

For each one will bear his own load.

But let him who is taught in the Word share with the one teaching in all good things.

So then as we have time, let us work good toward all, especially toward those of the household of faith.

For the rest, let no one give troubles to me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.

and to bring to light what is the fellowship of the mystery which from eternity has been hidden in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ;

Therefore He says, "When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive and gave gifts to men."

Therefore putting away lying, let each man speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

Be angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down upon your wrath,

Let him who stole steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, so that he may have something to give to him who needs.

Let not any filthy word go out of your mouth, but if any is good to building up in respect of need, that it may give grace to the ones hearing.

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and tumult and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

For let fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness not be once named among you, as becomes saints,

Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

Therefore he says, "Awake, sleeping ones! And arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light."

Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

But also let everyone of you in particular so love his wife even as himself, and the wife that she defers to her husband.

Only let your conduct be as becomes the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you, or else am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.

Do not let each man look upon his own things, but each man also on the things of others.

For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be of this mind. And if in anything you are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you.

Yet, as to what we have already attained, let us walk in the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
