and Sosthenes a brother, To the church of God, which is in Corinth, to them that are sanctified through Christ Jesus, called and holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Christ Jesus:

which God ordained before the world for our glory;

Which none of the rulers of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which are freely given to us of God.

Which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, explaining spiritual things by spiritual words.

For other foundation can no man lay, than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ: And if any one build on this foundation, gold, silver, costly stones;

If any one's work which he hath built thereon shall remain, he shall receive a reward.

If any man destroy the temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou which thou hast not received? But if thou hast received it, why dost thou boast, as if thou hadst not received it?

Know ye not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God?

And ye are not your own: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God with your body and your spirit, which are God's.

And all drank the same spiritual drink (for they drank out of the spiritual rock which followed them; and that rock was Christ) Yet, with the most of them, God was not well-pleased;

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?

The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

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

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

I praise you not. For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus the night in which he was betrayed,

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

Yea, the members of the body, which appear to be weaker, are much more necessary.

And those which we think to be the less honourable parts of the body, these we surround with more abundant honour, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

For our comely parts have no need; but God hath tempered the body together, giving more abundant honour to that which lacked:

And when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall vanish away.

So inanimate things which give a sound, whether pipe or harp, unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

If any one think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you, are the commandments of the Lord.

Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye received, and wherein ye stand:

By which also ye are saved, if ye retain what I preached to you, unless ye have believed in vain.

For I delivered to you first, that which I also received, That Christ died for our sins,

Why are we also in danger every hour? I protest by your rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die,

And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat, or of any other corn:
