11 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the
will of God and Sosthenes our brother .

12 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth to them that are
sanctified in Christ Jesus called to be saints with all that in
every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord both
theirs and ours .

13 Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and from the
Lord Jesus Christ .

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

15 That in every thing ye are enriched by him in all utterance
and in all knowledge .

16 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you .

17 So that ye come behind in no gift waiting for the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ .

18 Who shall also confirm you unto the end that ye may be
blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ .

19 God is faithful by whom ye were called unto the fellowship
of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord .

110 Now I beseech you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ that ye all speak the same thing and that there be no
divisions among you but that ye be perfectly joined together in
the same mind and in the same judgment .

111 For it hath been declared unto me of you my brethren by
them which are of the house of Chloe that there are contentions
among you .

112 Now this I say that every one of you saith I am of Paul and
I of Apollos and I of Cephas and I of Christ .

113 Is Christ divided was Paul crucified for you or were ye
baptized in the name of Paul .

114 I thank God that I baptized none of you but Crispus and
Gaius .

115 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name .

116 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas besides I
know not whether I baptized any other .

117 For Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the gospel
not with wisdom of words lest the cross of Christ should be made
of none effect .

118 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish
foolishness but unto us which are saved it is the power of God .

119 For it is written I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and
will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent .

120 Where is the wise where is the scribe where is the disputer
of this world hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world
.

121 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom
knew not God it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to
save them that believe .

122 For the Jews require a sign and the Greeks seek after
wisdom .

123 But we preach Christ crucified unto the Jews a
stumblingblock and unto the Greeks foolishness .

124 But unto them which are called both Jews and Greeks Christ
the power of God and the wisdom of God .

125 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men and the
weakness of God is stronger than men .

126 For ye see your calling brethren how that not many wise men
after the flesh not many mighty not many noble are called .

127 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to
confound the wise and God hath chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which are mighty .

128 And base things of the world and things which are despised
hath God chosen yea and things which are not to bring to nought
things that are .

129 That no flesh should glory in his presence .

130 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus who of God is made unto
us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption .

131 That according as it is written He that glorieth let him
glory in the Lord .

* 21 And I brethren when I came to you came not with excellency
of speech or of wisdom declaring unto you the testimony of God .

22 For I determined not to know any thing among you save Jesus
Christ and him crucified .

23 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much
trembling .

24 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words
of man's wisdom but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power .

25 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in
the power of God .

26 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect yet not
the wisdom of this world nor of the princes of this world that
come to nought .

27 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery even the hidden
wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory .

28 Which none of the princes of this world knew for had they
known it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory .

29 But as it is written Eye hath not seen nor ear heard neither
have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him .

210 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit for the
Spirit searcheth all things yea the deep things of God .

211 For what man knoweth the things of a man save the spirit of
man which is in him even so the things of God knoweth no man but
the Spirit of God .

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

213 Which things also we speak not in the words which man's
wisdom teacheth but which the Holy Ghost teacheth comparing
spiritual things with spiritual .

214 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit
of God for they are foolishness unto him neither can he know
them because they are spiritually discerned .

215 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things yet he himself
is judged of no man .

216 For who hath known the mind of the Lord that he may
instruct him But we have the mind of Christ .

* 31 And I brethren could not speak unto you as unto spiritual
but as unto carnal even as unto babes in Christ .

32 I have fed you with milk and not with meat for hitherto ye
were not able to bear it neither yet now are ye able .

33 For ye are yet carnal for whereas there is among you envying
and strife and divisions are ye not carnal and walk as men .

34 For while one saith I am of Paul and another I am of Apollos
are ye not carnal .

35 Who then is Paul and who is Apollos but ministers by whom ye
believed even as the Lord gave to every man .

36 I have planted Apollos watered but God gave the increase .

37 So then neither is he that planteth any thing neither he
that watereth but God that giveth the increase .

38 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one and every
man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour .

39 For we are labourers together with God ye are God's
husbandry ye are God's building .

310 According to the grace of God which is given unto me as a
wise masterbuilder I have laid the foundation and another
buildeth thereon But let every man take heed how he buildeth
thereupon .

311 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid which
is Jesus Christ .

312 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold silver
precious stones wood hay stubble .

313 Every man's work shall be made manifest for the day shall
declare it because it shall be revealed by fire and the fire
shall try every man's work of what sort it is .

314 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon he
shall receive a reward .

315 If any man's work shall be burned he shall suffer loss but
he himself shall be saved yet so as by fire .

316 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the
Spirit of God dwelleth in you .

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

318 Let no man deceive himself If any man among you seemeth to
be wise in this world let him become a fool that he may be wise .

319 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God For it
is written He taketh the wise in their own craftiness .

320 And again The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise that
they are vain .

321 Therefore let no man glory in men For all things are yours .

322 Whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or
death or things present or things to come all are yours .

323 And ye are Christ's and Christ is God's .

* 41 Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ
and stewards of the mysteries of God .

42 Moreover it is required in stewards that a man be found
faithful .

43 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged
of you or of man's judgment yea I judge not mine own self .

44 For I know nothing by myself yet am I not hereby justified
but he that judgeth me is the Lord .

45 Therefore judge nothing before the time until the Lord come
who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and
will make manifest the counsels of the hearts and then shall
every man have praise of God .

46 And these things brethren I have in a figure transferred to
myself and to Apollos for your sakes that ye might learn in us
not to think of men above that which is written that no one of
you be puffed up for one against another .

47 For who maketh thee to differ from another and what hast
thou that thou didst not receive now if thou didst receive it
why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it .

48 Now ye are full now ye are rich ye have reigned as kings
without us and I would to God ye did reign that we also might
reign with you .

49 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last as
it were appointed to death for we are made a spectacle unto the
world and to angels and to men .

410 We are fools for Christ's sake but ye are wise in Christ we
are weak but ye are strong ye are honourable but we are despised
.

411 Even unto this present hour we both hunger and thirst and
are naked and are buffeted and have no certain dwellingplace .

412 And labour working with our own hands being reviled we
bless being persecuted we suffer it .

413 Being defamed we entreat we are made as the filth of the
world and are the offscouring of all things unto this day .

414 I write not these things to shame you but as my beloved
sons I warn you .

415 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ yet
have ye not many fathers for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you
through the gospel .

416 Wherefore I beseech you be ye followers of me .

417 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus who is my
beloved son and faithful in the Lord who shall bring you into
remembrance of my ways which be in Christ as I teach every where
in every church .

418 Now some are puffed up as though I would not come to you .

419 But I will come to you shortly if the Lord will and will
know not the speech of them which are puffed up but the power .

420 For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power .

421 What will ye shall I come unto you with a rod or in love
and in the spirit of meekness .

* 51 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among
you and such fornication as is not so much as named among the
Gentiles that one should have his father's wife .

52 And ye are puffed up and have not rather mourned that he
that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you .

53 For I verily as absent in body but present in spirit have
judged already as though I were present concerning him that hath
so done this deed .

54 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ when ye are gathered
together and my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ .

55 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the
flesh that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus .

56 Your glorying is not good Know ye not that a little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump .

57 Purge out therefore the old leaven that ye may be a new lump
as ye are unleavened For even Christ our passover is sacrificed
for us .

58 Therefore let us keep the feast not with old leaven neither
with the leaven of malice and wickedness but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth .

59 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with
fornicators .

510 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world or
with the covetous or extortioners or with idolaters for then
must ye needs go out of the world .

511 But now I have written unto you not to keep company if any
man that is called a brother be a fornicator or covetous or an
idolater or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner with such
an one no not to eat .

512 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without
do not ye judge them that are within .

513 But them that are without God judgeth Therefore put away
from among yourselves that wicked person .

* 61 Dare any of you having a matter against another go to law
before the unjust and not before the saints .

62 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world and if
the world shall be judged by you are ye unworthy to judge the
smallest matters .

63 Know ye not that we shall judge angels how much more things
that pertain to this life .

64 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life
set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church .

65 I speak to your shame Is it so that there is not a wise man
among you no not one that shall be able to judge between his
brethren .

66 But brother goeth to law with brother and that before the
unbelievers .

67 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you because ye
go to law one with another Why do ye not rather take wrong why
do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded .

68 Nay ye do wrong and defraud and that your brethren .

69 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God Be not deceived neither fornicators nor idolaters
nor adulterers nor effeminate nor abusers of themselves with
mankind .

610 Nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor revilers nor
extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God .

611 And such were some of you but ye are washed but ye are
sanctified but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus
and by the Spirit of our God .

612 All things are lawful unto me but all things are not
expedient all things are lawful for me but I will not be brought
under the power of any .

613 Meats for the belly and the belly for meats but God shall
destroy both it and them Now the body is not for fornication but
for the Lord and the Lord for the body .

614 And God hath both raised up the Lord and will also raise up
us by his own power .

615 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ
shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the
members of an harlot God forbid .

616 What know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is
one body for two saith he shall be one flesh .

617 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit .

618 Flee fornication Every sin that a man doeth is without the
body but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own
body .

619 What know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost which is in you which ye have of God and ye are not your
own .

620 For ye are bought with a price therefore glorify God in
your body and in your spirit which are God's .

* 71 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me It is
good for a man not to touch a woman .

72 Nevertheless to avoid fornication let every man have his own
wife and let every woman have her own husband .

73 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence and
likewise also the wife unto the husband .

74 The wife hath not power of her own body but the husband and
likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body but the
wife .

75 Defraud ye not one the other except it be with consent for a
time that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer and come
together again that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency .

76 But I speak this by permission and not of commandment .

77 For I would that all men were even as I myself But every man
hath his proper gift of God one after this manner and another
after that .

78 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows It is good for
them if they abide even as I .

79 But if they cannot contain let them marry for it is better
to marry than to burn .

710 And unto the married I command yet not I but the Lord Let
not the wife depart from her husband .

711 But and if she depart let her remain unmarried or be
reconciled to her husband and let not the husband put away his
wife .

712 But to the rest speak I not the Lord If any brother hath a
wife that believeth not and she be pleased to dwell with him let
him not put her away .

713 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not and
if he be pleased to dwell with her let her not leave him .

714 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and
the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband else were your
children unclean but now are they holy .

715 But if the unbelieving depart let him depart A brother or a
sister is not under bondage in such cases but God hath called us
to peace .

716 For what knowest thou O wife whether thou shalt save thy
husband or how knowest thou O man whether thou shalt save thy
wife .

717 But as God hath distributed to every man as the Lord hath
called every one so let him walk And so ordain I in all churches
.

718 Is any man called being circumcised let him not become
uncircumcised Is any called in uncircumcision let him not be
circumcised .

719 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing but
the keeping of the commandments of God .

720 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was
called .

721 Art thou called being a servant care not for it but if thou
mayest be made free use it rather .

722 For he that is called in the Lord being a servant is the
Lord's freeman likewise also he that is called being free is
Christ's servant .

723 Ye are bought with a price be not ye the servants of men .

724 Brethren let every man wherein he is called therein abide
with God .

725 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord
yet I give my judgment as one that hath obtained mercy of the
Lord to be faithful .

726 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present
distress I say that it is good for a man so to be .

727 Art thou bound unto a wife seek not to be loosed Art thou
loosed from a wife seek not a wife .

728 But and if thou marry thou hast not sinned and if a virgin
marry she hath not sinned Nevertheless such shall have trouble
in the flesh but I spare you .

729 But this I say brethren the time is short it remaineth that
both they that have wives be as though they had none .

730 And they that weep as though they wept not and they that
rejoice as though they rejoiced not and they that buy as though
they possessed not .

731 And they that use this world as not abusing it for the
fashion of this world passeth away .

732 But I would have you without carefulness He that is
unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord how he
may please the Lord .

733 But he that is married careth for the things that are of
the world how he may please his wife .

734 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin The
unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord that she may
be holy both in body and in spirit but she that is married
careth for the things of the world how she may please her
husband .

735 And this I speak for your own profit not that I may cast a
snare upon you but for that which is comely and that ye may
attend upon the Lord without distraction .

736 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely
toward his virgin if she pass the flower of her age and need so
require let him do what he will he sinneth not let them marry .

737 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart having
no necessity but hath power over his own will and hath so
decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin doeth well .

738 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well but he
that giveth her not in marriage doeth better .

739 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth
but if her husband be dead she is at liberty to be married to
whom she will only in the Lord .

740 But she is happier if she so abide after my judgment and I
think also that I have the Spirit of God .

* 81 Now as touching things offered unto idols we know that we
all have knowledge Knowledge puffeth up but charity edifieth .

82 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing he knoweth
nothing yet as he ought to know .

83 But if any man love God the same is known of him .

84 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are
offered in sacrifice unto idols we know that an idol is nothing
in the world and that there is none other God but one .

85 For though there be that are called gods whether in heaven
or in earth (as there be gods many and lords many .

86 But to us there is but one God the Father of whom are all
things and we in him and one Lord Jesus Christ by whom are all
things and we by him .

87 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge for some
with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing
offered unto an idol and their conscience being weak is defiled .

88 But meat commendeth us not to God for neither if we eat are
we the better neither if we eat not are we the worse .

89 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become
a stumblingblock to them that are weak .

810 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in
the idol's temple shall not the conscience of him which is weak
be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols .

811 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish for
whom Christ died .

812 But when ye sin so against the brethren and wound their
weak conscience ye sin against Christ .

813 Wherefore if meat make my brother to offend I will eat no
flesh while the world standeth lest I make my brother to offend .

* 91 Am I not an apostle am I not free have I not seen Jesus
Christ our Lord are not ye my work in the Lord .

92 If I be not an apostle unto others yet doubtless I am to you
for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord .

93 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this .

94 Have we not power to eat and to drink .

95 Have we not power to lead about a sister a wife as well as
other apostles and as the brethren of the Lord and Cephas .

96 Or I only and Barnabas have not we power to forbear working .

97 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges who planteth
a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit thereof or who feedeth a
flock and eateth not of the milk of the flock .

98 Say I these things as a man or saith not the law the same
also .

99 For it is written in the law of Moses Thou shalt not muzzle
the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn Doth God take
care for oxen .

910 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes For our sakes no
doubt this is written that he that ploweth should plow in hope
and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his
hope .

911 If we have sown unto you spiritual things is it a great
thing if we shall reap your carnal things .

912 If others be partakers of this power over you are not we
rather Nevertheless we have not used this power but suffer all
things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ .

913 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things
live of the things of the temple and they which wait at the
altar are partakers with the altar .

914 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the
gospel should live of the gospel .

915 But I have used none of these things neither have I written
these things that it should be so done unto me for it were
better for me to die than that any man should make my glorying
void .

916 For though I preach the gospel I have nothing to glory of
for necessity is laid upon me yea woe is unto me if I preach not
the gospel .

917 For if I do this thing willingly I have a reward but if
against my will a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto
me .

918 What is my reward then Verily that when I preach the gospel
I may make the gospel of Christ without charge that I abuse not
my power in the gospel .

919 For though I be free from all men yet have I made myself
servant unto all that I might gain the more .

920 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew that I might gain the
Jews to them that are under the law as under the law that I
might gain them that are under the law .

921 To them that are without law as without law (being not
without law to God but under the law to Christ that I might gain
them that are without law .

922 To the weak became I as weak that I might gain the weak I
am made all things to all men that I might by all means save
some .

923 And this I do for the gospel's sake that I might be
partaker thereof with you .

924 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all but one
receiveth the prize So run that ye may obtain .

925 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in
all things Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown but we
an incorruptible .

926 I therefore so run not as uncertainly so fight I not as one
that beateth the air .

927 But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection lest
that by any means when I have preached to others I myself should
be a castaway .

* 101 Moreover brethren I would not that ye should be ignorant
how that all our fathers were under the cloud and all passed
through the sea .

102 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the
sea .

103 And did all eat the same spiritual meat .

104 And did all drink the same spiritual drink for they drank
of that spiritual Rock that followed them and that Rock was
Christ .

105 But with many of them God was not well pleased for they
were overthrown in the wilderness .

106 Now these things were our examples to the intent we should
not lust after evil things as they also lusted .

107 Neither be ye idolaters as were some of them as it is
written The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play
.

108 Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed
and fell in one day three and twenty thousand .

109 Neither let us tempt Christ as some of them also tempted
and were destroyed of serpents .

1010 Neither murmur ye as some of them also murmured and were
destroyed of the destroyer .

1011 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples and
they are written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the
world are come .

1012 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest
he fall .

1013 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common
to man but God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted
above that ye are able but will with the temptation also make a
way to escape that ye may be able to bear it .

1014 Wherefore my dearly beloved flee from idolatry .

1015 I speak as to wise men judge ye what I say .

1016 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 .

1017 For we being many are one bread and one body for we are
all partakers of that one bread .

1018 Behold Israel after the flesh are not they which eat of
the sacrifices partakers of the altar .

1019 What say I then that the idol is any thing or that which
is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing .

1020 But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice
they sacrifice to devils and not to God and I would not that ye
should have fellowship with devils .

1021 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils
ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table and of the table of
devils .

1022 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy are we stronger than he
.

1023 All things are lawful for me but all things are not
expedient all things are lawful for me but all things edify not .

1024 Let no man seek his own but every man another's wealth .

1025 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles that eat asking no
question for conscience sake .

1026 For the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof .

1027 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast and ye
be disposed to go whatsoever is set before you eat asking no
question for conscience sake .

1028 But if any man say unto you This is offered in sacrifice
unto idols eat not for his sake that shewed it and for
conscience sake for the earth is the Lord's and the fulness
thereof .

1029 Conscience I say not thine own but of the other for why is
my liberty judged of another man's conscience .

1030 For if I by grace be a partaker why am I evil spoken of
for that for which I give thanks .

1031 Whether therefore ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do do
all to the glory of God .

1032 Give none offence neither to the Jews nor to the Gentiles
nor to the church of God .

1033 Even as I please all men in all things not seeking mine
own profit but the profit of many that they may be saved .

* 111 Be ye followers of me even as I also am of Christ .

112 Now I praise you brethren that ye remember me in all things
and keep the ordinances as I delivered them to you .

113 But I would have you know that the head of every man is
Christ and the head of the woman is the man and the head of
Christ is God .

114 Every man praying or prophesying having his head covered
dishonoureth his head .

115 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head
uncovered dishonoureth her head for that is even all one as if
she were shaven .

116 For if the woman be not covered let her also be shorn but
if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven let her be
covered .

117 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head forasmuch as
he is the image and glory of God but the woman is the glory of
the man .

118 For the man is not of the woman but the woman of the man .

119 Neither was the man created for the woman but the woman for
the man .

1110 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head
because of the angels .

1111 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman neither
the woman without the man in the Lord .

1112 For as the woman is of the man even so is the man also by
the woman but all things of God .

1113 Judge in yourselves is it comely that a woman pray unto
God uncovered .

1114 Doth not even nature itself teach you that if a man have
long hair it is a shame unto him .

1115 But if a woman have long hair it is a glory to her for her
hair is given her for a covering .

1116 But if any man seem to be contentious we have no such
custom neither the churches of God .

1117 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not that
ye come together not for the better but for the worse .

1118 For first of all when ye come together in the church I
hear that there be divisions among you and I partly believe it .

1119 For there must be also heresies among you that they which
are approved may be made manifest among you .

1120 When ye come together therefore into one place this is not
to eat the Lord's supper .

1121 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper
and one is hungry and another is drunken .

1122 What have ye not houses to eat and to drink in or despise
ye the church of God and shame them that have not What shall I
say to you shall I praise you in this I praise you not .

1123 For I have received of the Lord that which also I
delivered unto you That the Lord Jesus the same night in which
he was betrayed took bread .

1124 And when he had given thanks he brake it and said Take eat
this is my body which is broken for you this do in remembrance
of me .

1125 After the same manner also he took the cup when he had
supped saying This cup is the new testament in my blood this do
ye as oft as ye drink it in remembrance of me .

1126 For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup ye do
shew the Lord's death till he come .

1127 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this
cup of the Lord unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood
of the Lord .

1128 But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that
bread and drink of that cup .

1129 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and
drinketh damnation to himself not discerning the Lord's body .

1130 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you and many
sleep .

1131 For if we would judge ourselves we should not be judged .

1132 But when we are judged we are chastened of the Lord that
we should not be condemned with the world .

1133 Wherefore my brethren when ye come together to eat tarry
one for another .

1134 And if any man hunger let him eat at home that ye come not
together unto condemnation And the rest will I set in order when
I come .

* 121 Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren I would not have
you ignorant .

122 Ye know that ye were Gentiles carried away unto these dumb
idols even as ye were led .

123 Wherefore I give you to understand that no man speaking by
the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed and that no man can say
that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost .

124 Now there are diversities of gifts but the same Spirit .

125 And there are differences of administrations but the same
Lord .

126 And there are diversities of operations but it is the same
God which worketh all in all .

127 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man
to profit withal .

128 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom to
another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit .

129 To another faith by the same Spirit to another the gifts of
healing by the same Spirit .

1210 To another the working of miracles to another prophecy to
another discerning of spirits to another divers kinds of tongues
to another the interpretation of tongues .

1211 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit
dividing to every man severally as he will .

1212 For as the body is one and hath many members and all the
members of that one body being many are one body so also is
Christ .

1213 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body
whether we be Jews or Gentiles whether we be bond or free and
have been all made to drink into one Spirit .

1214 For the body is not one member but many .

1215 If the foot shall say Because I am not the hand I am not
of the body is it therefore not of the body .

1216 And if the ear shall say Because I am not the eye I am not
of the body is it therefore not of the body .

1217 If the whole body were an eye where were the hearing If
the whole were hearing where were the smelling .

1218 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the
body as it hath pleased him .

1219 And if they were all one member where were the body .

1220 But now are they many members yet but one body .

1221 And the eye cannot say unto the hand I have no need of
thee nor again the head to the feet I have no need of you .

1222 Nay much more those members of the body which seem to be
more feeble are necessary .

1223 And those members of the body which we think to be less
honourable upon these we bestow more abundant honour and our
uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness .

1224 For our comely parts have no need but God hath tempered
the body together having given more abundant honour to that part
which lacked .

1225 That there should be no schism in the body but that the
members should have the same care one for another .

1226 And whether one member suffer all the members suffer with
it or one member be honoured all the members rejoice with it .

1227 Now ye are the body of Christ and members in particular .

1228 And God hath set some in the church first apostles
secondarily prophets thirdly teachers after that miracles then
gifts of healings helps governments diversities of tongues .

1229 Are all apostles are all prophets are all teachers are all
workers of miracles .

1230 Have all the gifts of healing do all speak with tongues do
all interpret .

1231 But covet earnestly the best gifts and yet shew I unto you
a more excellent way .

* 131 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and
have not charity I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling
cymbal .

132 And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all
mysteries and all knowledge and though I have all faith so that
I could remove mountains and have not charity I am nothing .

133 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and
though I give my body to be burned and have not charity it
profiteth me nothing .

134 Charity suffereth long and is kind charity envieth not
charity vaunteth not itself is not puffed up .

135 Doth not behave itself unseemly seeketh not her own is not
easily provoked thinketh no evil .

136 Rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth .

137 Beareth all things believeth all things hopeth all things
endureth all things .

138 Charity never faileth but whether there be prophecies they
shall fail whether there be tongues they shall cease whether
there be knowledge it shall vanish away .

139 For we know in part and we prophesy in part .

1310 But when that which is perfect is come then that which is
in part shall be done away .

1311 When I was a child I spake as a child I understood as a
child I thought as a child but when I became a man I put away
childish things .

1312 For now we see through a glass darkly but then face to
face now I know in part but then shall I know even as also I am
known .

1313 And now abideth faith hope charity these three but the
greatest of these is charity .

* 141 Follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts but
rather that ye may prophesy .

142 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto
men but unto God for no man understandeth him howbeit in the
spirit he speaketh mysteries .

143 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification
and exhortation and comfort .

144 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself but
he that prophesieth edifieth the church .

145 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye
prophesied for greater is he that prophesieth than he that
speaketh with tongues except he interpret that the church may
receive edifying .

146 Now brethren if I come unto you speaking with tongues what
shall I profit you except I shall speak to you either by
revelation or by knowledge or by prophesying or by doctrine .

147 And even things without life giving sound whether pipe or
harp except they give a distinction in the sounds how shall it
be known what is piped or harped .

148 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound who shall
prepare himself to the battle .

149 So likewise ye except ye utter by the tongue words easy to
be understood how shall it be known what is spoken for ye shall
speak into the air .

1410 There are it may be so many kinds of voices in the world
and none of them is without signification .

1411 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice I shall
be unto him that speaketh a barbarian and he that speaketh shall
be a barbarian unto me .

1412 Even so ye forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts
seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church .

1413 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray
that he may interpret .

1414 For if I pray in an unknown tongue my spirit prayeth but
my understanding is unfruitful .

1415 What is it then I will pray with the spirit and I will
pray with the understanding also I will sing with the spirit and
I will sing with the understanding also .

1416 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit how shall he
that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving
of thanks seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest .

1417 For thou verily givest thanks well but the other is not
edified .

1418 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than ye all .

1419 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my
understanding that by my voice I might teach others also than
ten thousand words in an unknown tongue .

1420 Brethren be not children in understanding howbeit in
malice be ye children but in understanding be men .

1421 In the law it is written With men of other tongues and
other lips will I speak unto this people and yet for all that
will they not hear me saith the Lord .

1422 Wherefore tongues are for a sign not to them that believe
but to them that believe not but prophesying serveth not for
them that believe not but for them which believe .

1423 If therefore the whole church be come together into one
place and all speak with tongues and there come in those that
are unlearned or unbelievers will they not say that ye are mad .

1424 But if all prophesy and there come in one that believeth
not or one unlearned he is convinced of all he is judged of all .

1425 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest and so
falling down on his face he will worship God and report that God
is in you of a truth .

1426 How is it then brethren when ye come together every one of
you hath a psalm hath a doctrine hath a tongue hath a revelation
hath an interpretation Let all things be done unto edifying .

1427 If any man speak in an unknown tongue let it be by two or
at the most by three and that by course and let one interpret .

1428 But if there be no interpreter let him keep silence in the
church and let him speak to himself and to God .

1429 Let the prophets speak two or three and let the other
judge .

1430 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by let
the first hold his peace .

1431 For ye may all prophesy one by one that all may learn and
all may be comforted .

1432 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the
prophets .

1433 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in
all churches of the saints .

1434 Let your women keep silence in the churches for it is not
permitted unto them to speak but they are commanded to be under
obedience as also saith the law .

1435 And if they will learn any thing let them ask their
husbands at home for it is a shame for women to speak in the
church .

1436 What came the word of God out from you or came it unto you
only .

1437 If any man think himself to be a prophet or spiritual let
him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the
commandments of the Lord .

1438 But if any man be ignorant let him be ignorant .

1439 Wherefore brethren covet to prophesy and forbid not to
speak with tongues .

1440 Let all things be done decently and in order .

* 151 Moreover brethren I declare unto you the gospel which I
preached unto you which also ye have received and wherein ye
stand .

152 By which also ye are saved if ye keep in memory what I
preached unto you unless ye have believed in vain .

153 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures .

154 And that he was buried and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures .

155 And that he was seen of Cephas then of the twelve .

156 After that he was seen of above five hundred brethren at
once of whom the greater part remain unto this present but some
are fallen asleep .

157 After that he was seen of James then of all the apostles .

158 And last of all he was seen of me also as of one born out
of due time .

159 For I am the least of the apostles that am not meet to be
called an apostle because I persecuted the church of God .

1510 But by the grace of God I am what I am and his grace which
was bestowed upon me was not in vain but I laboured more
abundantly than they all yet not I but the grace of God which
was with me .

1511 Therefore whether it were I or they so we preach and so ye
believed .

1512 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead how
say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead .

1513 But if there be no resurrection of the dead then is Christ
not risen .

1514 And if Christ be not risen then is our preaching vain and
your faith is also vain .

1515 Yea and we are found false witnesses of God because we
have testified of God that he raised up Christ whom he raised
not up if so be that the dead rise not .

1516 For if the dead rise not then is not Christ raised .

1517 And if Christ be not raised your faith is vain ye are yet
in your sins .

1518 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are
perished .

1519 If in this life only we have hope in Christ we are of all
men most miserable .

1520 But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the
firstfruits of them that slept .

1521 For since by man came death by man came also the
resurrection of the dead .

1522 For as in Adam all die even so in Christ shall all be made
alive .

1523 But every man in his own order Christ the firstfruits
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming .

1524 Then cometh the end when he shall have delivered up the
kingdom to God even the Father when he shall have put down all
rule and all authority and power .

1525 For he must reign till he hath put all enemies under his
feet .

1526 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death .

1527 For he hath put all things under his feet But when he
saith all things are put under him it is manifest that he is
excepted which did put all things under him .

1528 And when all things shall be subdued unto him then shall
the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things
under him that God may be all in all .

1529 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead if
the dead rise not at all why are they then baptized for the dead
.

1530 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour .

1531 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus
our Lord I die daily .

1532 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at
Ephesus what advantageth it me if the dead rise not let us eat
and drink for to morrow we die .

1533 Be not deceived evil communications corrupt good manners .

1534 Awake to righteousness and sin not for some have not the
knowledge of God I speak this to your shame .

1535 But some man will say How are the dead raised up and with
what body do they come .

1536 Thou fool that which thou sowest is not quickened except
it die .

1537 And that which thou sowest thou sowest not that body that
shall be but bare grain it may chance of wheat or of some other
grain .

1538 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him and to
every seed his own body .

1539 All flesh is not the same flesh but there is one kind of
flesh of men another flesh of beasts another of fishes and
another of birds .

1540 There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial but
the glory of the celestial is one and the glory of the
terrestrial is another .

1541 There is one glory of the sun and another glory of the
moon and another glory of the stars for one star differeth from
another star in glory .

1542 So also is the resurrection of the dead It is sown in
corruption it is raised in incorruption .

1543 It is sown in dishonour it is raised in glory it is sown
in weakness it is raised in power .

1544 It is sown a natural body it is raised a spiritual body
There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body .

1545 And so it is written The first man Adam was made a living
soul the last Adam was made a quickening spirit .

1546 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual but that
which is natural and afterward that which is spiritual .

1547 The first man is of the earth earthy the second man is the
Lord from heaven .

1548 As is the earthy such are they also that are earthy and as
is the heavenly such are they also that are heavenly .

1549 And as we have borne the image of the earthy we shall also
bear the image of the heavenly .

1550 Now this I say brethren that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption .

1551 Behold I shew you a mystery We shall not all sleep but we
shall all be changed .

1552 In a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump
for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible and we shall be changed .

1553 For this corruptible must put on incorruption and this
mortal must put on immortality .

1554 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption
and this mortal shall have put on immortality then shall be
brought to pass the saying that is written Death is swallowed up
in victory .

1555 O death where is thy sting O grave where is thy victory .

1556 The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the
law .

1557 But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ .

1558 Therefore my beloved brethren be ye stedfast unmoveable
always abounding in the work of the Lord forasmuch as ye know
that your labour is not in vain in the Lord .

* 161 Now concerning the collection for the saints as I have
given order to the churches of Galatia even so do ye .

162 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by
him in store as God hath prospered him that there be no
gatherings when I come .

163 And when I come whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters
them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem .

164 And if it be meet that I go also they shall go with me .

165 Now I will come unto you when I shall pass through
Macedonia for I do pass through Macedonia .

166 And it may be that I will abide yea and winter with you
that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go .

167 For I will not see you now by the way but I trust to tarry
a while with you if the Lord permit .

168 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost .

169 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me and there
are many adversaries .

1610 Now if Timotheus come see that he may be with you without
fear for he worketh the work of the Lord as I also do .

1611 Let no man therefore despise him but conduct him forth in
peace that he may come unto me for I look for him with the
brethren .

1612 As touching our brother Apollos I greatly desired him to
come unto you with the brethren but his will was not at all to
come at this time but he will come when he shall have convenient
time .

1613 Watch ye stand fast in the faith quit you like men be
strong .

1614 Let all your things be done with charity .

1615 I beseech you brethren ye know the house of Stephanas that
it is the firstfruits of Achaia and that they have addicted
themselves to the ministry of the saints .

1616 That ye submit yourselves unto such and to every one that
helpeth with us and laboureth .

1617 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and
Achaicus for that which was lacking on your part they have
supplied .

1618 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours therefore
acknowledge ye them that are such .

1619 The churches of Asia salute you Aquila and Priscilla
salute you much in the Lord with the church that is in their
house .

1620 All the brethren greet you Greet ye one another with an
holy kiss .

1621 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand .

1622 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ let him be
Anathema Maran-atha .

1623 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you .

1624 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus Amen .
