1Corinthians 1

1. Paul <3972>, called <2822> [to be] an apostle < 652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> through <1223> the will <2307> of God <2316>, and Sosthenes <4988> [our] brother <80>,

2 Unto the church <1577> of God <2316> which < 3588> is at <1722> Corinth <2882>, to them that are sanctified <37> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, called <2822> [to be] saints <40>, with all <3956> that in every <3956> place <5117> call <1941> upon the name < 3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>, both <5037> theirs and ours <2257>:

3 Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord < 2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.

4 I thank <2168> my God <2316> always <3842> on <4012> your <5216> behalf <4012>, for the grace < 5485> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325> you by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>;

5 That in every <3956> thing ye are enriched <4148> by him, in all <3956> utterance <3056>, and [in] all < 3956> knowledge <1108>;

6 Even <2531> as the testimony <3142> of Christ < 5547> was confirmed <950> in you:

7 So <5620> that ye come <5302> behind <5302> in no <3367> gift <5486>; waiting <553> for the coming <602> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> :

8 Who <3739> shall also <2532> confirm <950> you unto the end <5056>, [that ye may be] blameless <410> in the day <2250> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.

9 God <2316> [is] faithful <4103>, by whom < 3739> ye were called <2564> unto the fellowship <2842> of his Son <5207> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord < 2962>.

10. Now <1161> I beseech <3870> you, brethren < 80>, by the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547>, that ye all <3956> speak <3004> the same <846> thing, and [that] there be no <3361> divisions <4978> among <1722> you; but [that] ye be perfectly < 2675> joined <2675> together <2675> in the same <846> mind <3563> and in the same <846> judgment <1106>.

11 For it hath been declared <1213> unto me of you, my brethren <80>, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe <5514> , that there are contentions <2054> among <1722> you.

12 Now <1161> this <5124> I say <3004>, that every <1538> one of you saith <3004>, I am <1510> of Paul <3972>; and I of Apollos <625>; and I of Cephas < 2786>; and I of Christ <5547>.

13 Is Christ <5547> divided <3307>? was Paul < 3972> crucified <4717> for you? or <2228> were ye baptized <907> in the name <3686> of Paul <3972>?

14. I thank <2168> God <2316> that I baptized < 907> none <3762> of you, but Crispus <2921> and Gaius < 1050>;

15 Lest <3361> any <3387> should say <2036> that I had baptized <907> in mine <1699> own name <3686>.

16 And I baptized <907> also <2532> the household <3624> of Stephanas <4734>: besides <3063>, I know < 1492> not whether <1487> I baptized <907> any <1536> other <243>.

17. For Christ <5547> sent <649> me not to baptize <907>, but to preach <2097> the gospel <2097>: not with wisdom <4678> of words <3056>, lest <3361> the cross < 4716> of Christ <5547> should be made <2758> of none < 2758> effect <2758>.

18 For the preaching <3056> of the cross <4716> is to them that perish <622> foolishness <3472>; but unto us which are saved <4982> it is the power <1411> of God < 2316>.

19 For it is written <1125>, I will destroy <622> the wisdom <4678> of the wise <4680>, and will bring < 114> to nothing <114> the understanding <4907> of the prudent <4908>.

20 Where <4226> [is] the wise <4680>? where < 4226> [is] the scribe <1122>? where <4226> [is] the disputer <4804> of this <5127> world <165>? hath not God <2316> made <3471> foolish <3471> the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <2889>?

21 For after <1894> that in the wisdom <4678> of God <2316> the world <2889> by wisdom <4678> knew < 1097> not God <2316>, it pleased <2106> God <2316> by the foolishness <3472> of preaching <2782> to save <4982> them that believe <4100>.

22 For the Jews <2453> require <154> a sign < 4592>, and the Greeks <1672> seek <2212> after wisdom < 4678>:

23 But we preach <2784> Christ <5547> crucified < 4717>, unto the Jews <2453> a stumblingblock <4625>, and unto the Greeks <1672> foolishness <3472>;

24 But unto them which <3588> are called <2822>, both <5037> Jews <2453> and Greeks <1672>, Christ < 5547> the power <1411> of God <2316>, and the wisdom < 4678> of God <2316>.

25 Because <3754> the foolishness <3474> of God < 2316> is wiser <4680> than men <444>; and the weakness < 772> of God <2316> is stronger <2478> than men <444>.

26 For ye see <991> your <5216> calling <2821> , brethren <80>, how that not many <4183> wise <4680> men after <2596> the flesh <4561>, not many <4183> mighty <1415>, not many <4183> noble <2104>, [are called]:

27 But God <2316> hath chosen <1586> the foolish <3474> things of the world <2889> to confound <2617> the wise <4680>; and God <2316> hath chosen <1586> the weak <772> things of the world <2889> to confound <2617> the things which are mighty <2478>;

28 And base <36> things of the world <2889>, and things which are despised <1848>, hath God <2316> chosen < 1586>, [yea], and things which <3588> are not, to bring < 2673> to nought <2673> things that are:

29 That no <3956> flesh <4561> should glory < 2744> in his presence <1799>.

30 But of him are ye in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, who <3739> of God <2316> is made <1096> unto us wisdom <4678>, and righteousness <1343>, and sanctification <38> , and redemption <629>:

31 That, according <2531> as it is written <1125>, He that glorieth <2744>, let him glory <2744> in the Lord < 2962>.

1Corinthians 2

1. And I, brethren <80>, when I came <2064> to you, came <2064> not with excellency <5247> of speech <3056> or <2228> of wisdom <4678>, declaring <2605> unto you the testimony <3142> of God <2316>.

2 For I determined <2919> not to know <1492> any <5100> thing among <1722> you, save <1508> Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547>, and him crucified <4717>.

3 And I was with you in weakness <769>, and in fear < 5401>, and in much <4183> trembling <5156>.

4 And my speech <3056> and my preaching <2782> [was] not with enticing <3981> words <3056> of man's < 442> wisdom <4678>, but in demonstration <585> of the Spirit <4151> and of power <1411>:

5 That your <5216> faith <4102> should not stand <1510> in the wisdom <4678> of men <444>, but in the power <1411> of God <2316>.

6. Howbeit we speak <2980> wisdom <4678> among < 1722> them that are perfect <5046>: yet <1161> not the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <165>, nor < 3761> of the princes <758> of this <5127> world <165>, that come <2673> to nought <2673>:

7 But we speak <2980> the wisdom <4678> of God < 2316> in a mystery <3466>, [even] the hidden <613> [wisdom], which <3739> God <2316> ordained <4304> before < 4253> the world <165> unto our glory <1391>:

8 Which <3739> none <3762> of the princes < 758> of this <5127> world <165> knew <1097>: for had they known <1097> [it], they would not have crucified <4717> the Lord <2962> of glory <1391>.

9 But as it is written <1125>, Eye <3788> hath not seen <1492>, nor <3756> ear <3775> heard <191>, neither <3756> have entered <305> into <1909> the heart <2588> of man <444>, the things which <3739> God < 2316> hath prepared <2090> for them that love <25> him.

10 But God <2316> hath revealed <601> [them] unto us by his Spirit <4151>: for the Spirit <4151> searcheth < 2045> all <3956> things, yea <2532>, the deep <899> things of God <2316>.

11 For what <5101> man <444> knoweth <1492> the things of a man <444>, save <1508> the spirit <4151> of man <444> which <3588> is in him? even <2532> so < 3779> the things of God <2316> knoweth <1492> no < 3762> man <3762>, but the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>.

12 Now <1161> we have received <2983>, not the spirit <4151> of the world <2889>, but the spirit <4151> which <3588> is of God <2316>; that we might know <1492> the things that are freely given <5483> to us of God <2316>.

13 Which <3739> things also <2532> we speak < 2980>, not in the words <3056> which man's <442> wisdom < 4678> teacheth <1318>, but which the Holy <40> Ghost < 4151> teacheth <1318>; comparing <4793> spiritual < 4152> things with spiritual <4152>.

14 But the natural <5591> man <444> receiveth < 1209> not the things of the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>: for they are foolishness <3472> unto him: neither <3756> can <1410> he know <1097> [them], because <3754> they are spiritually <4153> discerned <350>.

15 But he that is spiritual <4152> judgeth <350> all <3956> things, yet <1161> he himself <846> is judged <350> of no <3762> man <3762>.

16 For who <5101> hath known <1097> the mind < 3563> of the Lord <2962>, that he may instruct <4822> him? But we have <2192> the mind <3563> of Christ <5547>.

1Corinthians 3

1. And I, brethren <80>, could <1410> not speak < 2980> unto you as unto spiritual <4152>, but as unto carnal < 4559>, [even] as unto babes <3516> in Christ <5547>.

2 I have fed <4222> you with milk <1051>, and not with meat <1033>: for hitherto <3768> ye were not able < 1410> [to bear it], neither <3777> yet <2089> now < 3568> are ye able <1410>.

3 For ye are yet <2089> carnal <4559>: for whereas <3699> [there is] among <1722> you envying <2205>, and strife <2054>, and divisions <1370>, are ye not carnal < 4559>, and walk <4043> as men <444>?

4 For while <3752> one <5100> saith <3004>, I am <1510> of Paul <3972>; and another <2087>, I [am] of Apollos <625>; are ye not carnal <4559>?

5. Who <5101> then <3767> is Paul <3972>, and who <5101> [is] Apollos <625>, but ministers <1249> by whom <3739> ye believed <4100>, even <2532> as the Lord <2962> gave <1325> to every <1538> man?

6 I have planted <5452>, Apollos <625> watered < 4222>; but God <2316> gave the increase <837>.

7 So <5620> then neither <3777> is he that planteth <5452> any <5100> thing, neither <3777> he that watereth <4222>; but God <2316> that giveth the increase <837>.

8 Now <1161> he that planteth <5452> and he that watereth <4222> are one <1520>: and every <1538> man shall receive <2983> his own <2398> reward <3408> according <2596> to his own <2398> labour <2873>.

9 For we are labourers <4904> together <4904> with God <2316>: ye are God's <2316> husbandry <1091>, [ye are] God's <2316> building <3619>.

10 According <2596> to the grace <5485> of God < 2316> which <3588> is given <1325> unto me, as a wise < 4680> masterbuilder <753>, I have laid <5087> the foundation <2310>, and another <243> buildeth <2026> thereon <2026>. But let every <1538> man take heed <991> how <4459> he buildeth <2026> thereupon <2026>.

11. For other <243> foundation <2310> can < 1410> no <3762> man <3762> lay <5087> than < 3844> that is laid <5087>, which <3739> is Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547>.

12 Now <1161> if <1487> any <5100> man build <2026> upon this <5126> foundation <2310> gold < 5557>, silver <696>, precious <5093> stones <3037>, wood <3586>, hay <5528>, stubble <2562>;

13 Every <1538> man's work <2041> shall be made < 1096> manifest <5318>: for the day <2250> shall declare < 1213> it, because <3754> it shall be revealed <601> by fire <4442>; and the fire <4442> shall try <1381> every < 1538> man's work <2041> of what <3697> sort <3697> it is.

14 If <1487> any <1536> man's work <2041> abide <3306> which <3739> he hath built <2026> thereupon <2026>, he shall receive <2983> a reward <3408>.

15 If <1487> any <1536> man's work <2041> shall be burned <2618>, he shall suffer <2210> loss < 2210>: but he himself <846> shall be saved <4982>; yet < 1161> so <3779> as by fire <4442>.

16. Know <1492> ye not that ye are the temple <3485> of God <2316>, and [that] the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> dwelleth <3611> in you?

17 If <1487> any <1536> man defile <5351> the temple <3485> of God <2316>, him shall God <2316> destroy <5351>; for the temple <3485> of God <2316> is holy <40>, which <3748> [temple] ye are.

18. Let no <3367> man <3367> deceive <1818> himself <1438>. If <1487> any <1536> man among < 1722> you seemeth <1380> to be wise <4680> in this < 5129> world <165>, let him become <1096> a fool <3474> , that he may be wise <4680>.

19 For the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world < 2889> is foolishness <3472> with God <2316>. For it is written <1125>, He taketh <1405> the wise <4680> in their own craftiness <3834>.

20 And again <3825>, The Lord <2962> knoweth < 1097> the thoughts <1261> of the wise <4680>, that they are vain <3152>.

21. Therefore <5620> let no <3367> man <3367> glory <2744> in men <444>. For all <3956> things are yours <5216>;

22 Whether <1535> Paul <3972>, or <1535> Apollos <625>, or <1535> Cephas <2786>, or <1535> the world <2889>, or <1535> life <2222>, or <1535> death <2288>, or <1535> things present <1764>, or < 1535> things to come <3195>; all <3956> are yours < 5216>;

23 And ye are Christ's <5547>; and Christ <5547> [is] God's <2316>.

1Corinthians 4

1. Let a man <444> so <3779> account <3049> of us, as of the ministers <5257> of Christ <5547>, and stewards <3623> of the mysteries <3466> of God <2316>.

2 Moreover <3063> it is required <2212> in stewards <3623>, that a man <5100> be found <2147> faithful < 4103>.

3 But with me it is a very <1646> small <1646> thing that I should be judged <350> of you, or <2228> of man's <442> judgment <2250>: yea <235>, I judge <350> not mine <1683> own <1683> self <1683>.

4 For I know <4892> nothing <3762> by myself < 1683>; yet <235> am I not hereby <5129> justified < 1344>: but he that judgeth <350> me is the Lord <2962>.

5 Therefore <5620> judge <2919> nothing <3385> before <4253> the time <2540>, until <2193> the Lord <2962> come <2064>, who <3739> both <2532> will bring <5461> to light <5461> the hidden <2927> things of darkness <4655>, and will make <5319> manifest <5319> the counsels <1012> of the hearts <2588>: and then <5119> shall every <1538> man have <1096> praise <1868> of God <2316>.

6 And these <5023> things, brethren <80>, I have in a figure <3345> transferred <3345> to myself <1683> and [to] Apollos <625> for your <5209> sakes; that ye might learn <3129> in us not to think <5426> [of men] above <5228> that which <3739> is written <1125>, that no <3361> one <1520> of you be puffed <5448> up for one <1520> against <2596> another <2087>.

7. For who <5101> maketh <1252> thee to differ < 1252> [from another]? and what <5101> hast <2192> thou that thou didst not receive <2983>? now <2532> if <1499> thou didst receive <2983> [it], why <5101> dost thou glory < 2744>, as if thou hadst not received <2983> [it]?

8 Now <2236> ye are full <2880>, now <2236> ye are rich <4147>, ye have reigned <936> as kings without < 5565> us: and I would <3785> to God ye did reign <936>, that we also <2532> might reign <4821> with you.

9 For I think <1380> that God <2316> hath set < 584> forth <584> us the apostles <652> last <2078>, as it were appointed <1935> to death <1935>: for we are made <1096> a spectacle <2302> unto the world <2889>, and to angels <32>, and to men <444>.

10 We [are] fools <3474> for Christ's <5547> sake, but ye [are] wise <5429> in Christ <5547>; we [are] weak < 772>, but ye [are] strong <2478>; ye [are] honourable <1741> , but we [are] despised <820>.

11 Even unto this <3588> present <737> hour < 5610> we both <2532> hunger <3983>, and thirst <1372>, and are naked <1130>, and are buffeted <2852>, and have no <790> certain <790> dwellingplace <790>;

12 And labour <2872>, working <2038> with our own <2398> hands <5495>: being reviled <3058>, we bless < 2127>; being persecuted <1377>, we suffer <430> it:

13 Being defamed <987>, we intreat <3870>: we are made <1096> as the filth <4027> of the world <2889>, [and are] the offscouring <4067> of all <3956> things unto this <737> day <737>.

14. I write <1125> not these <5023> things to shame <1788> you, but as my beloved <27> sons <5043> I warn <3560> [you].

15 For though <1437> ye have <2192> ten <3463> thousand <3463> instructors <3807> in Christ <5547>, yet <235> [have ye] not many <4183> fathers <3962>: for in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> I have begotten <1080> you through <1223> the gospel <2098>.

16 Wherefore <3767> I beseech <3870> you, be ye followers <3402> of me.

17. For this <5124> cause <1223> have I sent unto you Timotheus <5095>, who <3739> is my beloved <27> son <5043>, and faithful <4103> in the Lord <2962>, who < 3739> shall bring <363> you into remembrance <363> of my ways <3598> which <3588> be in Christ <5547>, as I teach <1321> every <3837> where <3837> in every <3956> church <1577>.

18 Now <1161> some <5100> are puffed <5448> up, as though I would not come <2064> to you.

19 But I will come <2064> to you shortly <5030>, if <1437> the Lord <2962> will <2309>, and will know < 1097>, not the speech <3056> of them which are puffed <5448> up, but the power <1411>.

20 For the kingdom <932> of God <2316> [is] not in word <3056>, but in power <1411>.

21 What <5101> will <2309> ye? shall I come < 2064> unto you with a rod <4464>, or <2228> in love < 26>, and [in] the spirit <4151> of meekness <4236>?

1Corinthians 5

1. It is reported <191> commonly <3654> [that there is] fornication <4202> among <1722> you, and such <5108> fornication <4202> as is not so <3761> much <3761> as named <3687> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>, that one <5100> should have <2192> his father's <3962> wife < 1135>.

2 And ye are puffed <5448> up, and have not rather < 3123> mourned <3996>, that he that hath done <4160> this <5124> deed <2041> might be taken <1808> away from among <3319> you.

3 For I verily <3303>, as absent <548> in body < 4983>, but present <3918> in spirit <4151>, have judged < 2919> already <2235>, as though I were present <3918>, [concerning] him that hath so <3779> done <2716> this < 5124> deed,

4 In the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547>, when ye are gathered <4863> together <4863>, and my spirit <4151>, with the power <1411> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>,

5 To deliver <3860> such <5108> an one unto Satan <4567> for the destruction <3639> of the flesh <4561>, that the spirit <4151> may be saved <4982> in the day < 2250> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.

6 Your <5216> glorying <2745> [is] not good < 2570>. Know <1492> ye not that a little <3398> leaven < 2219> leaveneth <2220> the whole <3650> lump <5445>?

7. Purge <1571> out therefore <3767> the old < 3820> leaven <2219>, that ye may be a new <3501> lump < 5445>, as ye are unleavened <106>. For even <2532> Christ <5547> our passover <3957> is sacrificed <2380> for us:

8 Therefore <5620> let us keep <1858> the feast < 1858>, not with old <3820> leaven <2219>, neither < 3366> with the leaven <2219> of malice <2549> and wickedness <4189>; but with the unleavened <106> [bread] of sincerity <1505> and truth <225>.

9. I wrote <1125> unto you in an epistle <1992> not to company <4874> with fornicators <4205>:

10 Yet <2532> not altogether <3843> with the fornicators <4205> of this <5127> world <2889>, or < 2228> with the covetous <4123>, or <2228> extortioners < 727>, or <2228> with idolaters <1496>; for then <686> must <3781> ye needs go <1831> out of the world <2889>.

11 But now <3570> I have written <1125> unto you not to keep <4874> company <4874>, if <1437> any < 5100> man that is called <3687> a brother <80> be a fornicator <4205>, or <2228> covetous <4123>, or < 2228> an idolater <1496>, or <2228> a railer <3060>, or <2228> a drunkard <3183>, or <2228> an extortioner <727>; with such <5108> an one no not to eat <4906>.

12 For what <5101> have I to do to judge <2919> them also <2532> that are without <1854>? do not ye judge < 2919> them that are within <2080>?

13 But them that are without <1854> God <2316> judgeth <2919>. Therefore put <1808> away <1808> from among yourselves <846> that wicked <4190> person.

1Corinthians 6

1. Dare <5111> any <5100> of you, having <2192> a matter <4229> against <4314> another <2087>, go to law <2919> before <1909> the unjust <94>, and not before <1909> the saints <40>?

2 Do ye not know <1492> that the saints <40> shall judge <2919> the world <2889>? and if <1487> the world <2889> shall be judged <2919> by you, are ye unworthy < 370> to judge <2922> the smallest <1646> matters?

3 Know <1492> ye not that we shall judge <2919> angels <32>? how <3386> much <3386> more <1065> things that pertain to this life <982>?

4 If <1437> then <3767> ye have <2192> judgments <2922> of things pertaining to this life <982>, set <2523> them to judge <2919> who are least <1848> esteemed <1848> in the church <1577>.

5 I speak <3004> to your <5213> shame <1791>. Is it so <3779>, that there is not a wise <4680> man among < 1722> you? no, not one that shall be able <1410> to judge < 1252> between <3319> his brethren <80>?

6 But brother <80> goeth to law <2919> with brother <80>, and that before <1909> the unbelievers <571>.

7 Now <2236> therefore <3767> there is utterly < 3654> a fault <2275> among <1722> you, because <3754> ye go to law <2917> one <1438> with another <1438>. Why <1302> do ye not rather <3123> take wrong <91>? why < 1302> do ye not rather <3123> [suffer yourselves to] be defrauded <650>?

8 Nay <235>, ye do wrong <91>, and defraud < 650>, and that [your] brethren <80>.

9. Know <1492> ye not that the unrighteous <94> shall not inherit <2816> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> ? Be not deceived <4105>: neither <3777> fornicators < 4205>, nor <3777> idolaters <1496>, nor <3777> adulterers <3432>, nor <3777> effeminate <3120>, nor < 3777> abusers <783> of themselves with mankind <733>,

10 Nor <3777> thieves <2812>, nor <3777> covetous <4123>, nor <3756> drunkards <3183>, nor < 3756> revilers <3060>, nor <3756> extortioners <727>, shall inherit <2816> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.

11 And such <5023> were some <5100> of you: but ye are washed <628>, but ye are sanctified <37>, but ye are justified <1344> in the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and by the Spirit <4151> of our God <2316>.

12. All <3956> things are lawful <1832> unto me, but all <3956> things are not expedient <4851>: all <3956> things are lawful <1832> for me, but I will not be brought < 1850> under <5259> the power <1850> of any <5100>.

13 Meats <1033> for the belly <2836>, and the belly <2836> for meats <1033>: but God <2316> shall destroy <2673> both <2532> it and them. Now <1161> the body < 4983> [is] not for fornication <4202>, but for the Lord < 2962>; and the Lord <2962> for the body <4983>.

14 And God <2316> hath both <2532> raised < 1453> up the Lord <2962>, and will also <2532> raise < 1825> up us by his own <848> power <1411>.

15 Know <1492> ye not that your <5216> bodies < 4983> are the members <3196> of Christ <5547>? shall I then <3767> take <142> the members <3196> of Christ < 5547>, and make <4160> [them] the members <3196> of an harlot <4204>? God <1096> forbid <1096>.

16 What <2228>? know <1492> ye not that he which is joined <2853> to an harlot <4204> is one <1520> body < 4983>? for two <1417>, saith <5346> he, shall be one < 3391> flesh <4561>.

17 But he that is joined <2853> unto the Lord <2962> is one <1520> spirit <4151>.

18 Flee <5343> fornication <4202>. Every < 3956> sin <265> that a man <444> doeth <4160> is without <1622> the body <4983>; but he that committeth < 4203> fornication <4203> sinneth <264> against <1519> his own <2398> body <4983>.

19 What <2228>? know <1492> ye not that your < 1438> body <4983> is the temple <3485> of the Holy < 40> Ghost <4151> [which is] in you, which <3739> ye have <2192> of God <2316>, and ye are not your <5216> own < 1438>?

20 For ye are bought <59> with a price <5092>: therefore <1211> glorify <1392> God <2316> in your < 5216> body <4983>, and in your <5216> spirit <4151>, which <3748> are God's <2316>.

1Corinthians 7

1. Now <1161> concerning <4012> the things whereof <3739> ye wrote <1125> unto me: [It is] good <2570> for a man <444> not to touch <680> a woman <1135>.

2 Nevertheless <1161>, [to avoid <1223>] fornication <4202>, let every <1538> man have <2192> his own <1438> wife <1135>, and let every <1538> woman have <2192> her own <2398> husband <435>.

3 Let the husband <435> render <591> unto the wife <1135> due <3784> benevolence <2133>: and likewise < 3668> also <2532> the wife <1135> unto the husband < 435>.

4 The wife <1135> hath not power <1850> of her own <2398> body <4983>, but the husband <435>: and likewise <3668> also <2532> the husband <435> hath not power < 1850> of his own <2398> body <4983>, but the wife < 1135>.

5 Defraud <650> ye not one <240> the other < 240>, except <1509> [it be] with consent <4859> for a time <2540>, that ye may give <4980> yourselves to fasting < 3521> and prayer <4335>; and come <4905> together < 846> again <3825>, that Satan <4567> tempt <3985> you not for your <5216> incontinency <192>.

6 But I speak <3004> this <5124> by permission < 4774>, [and] not of commandment <2003>.

7 For I would <2309> that all <3956> men <444> were even <2532> as I myself <1683>. But every <1538> man hath <2192> his proper <2398> gift <5486> of God < 2316>, one <3303> after <3779> this <3779> manner < 3779>, and another <3588> after <3779> that.

8 I say <3004> therefore <1160> to the unmarried <22> and widows <5503>, It is good <2570> for them if <1437> they abide <3306> even <2504> as I.

9 But if <1487> they cannot <3756> contain < 1467>, let them marry <1060>: for it is better <2909> to marry <1060> than <2228> to burn <4448>.

10. And unto the married <1060> I command <3853>, [yet] not I, but the Lord <2962>, Let not the wife <1135> depart <5562> from [her] husband <435>:

11 But and if <1437> she depart <5562>, let her remain <3306> unmarried <22>, or <2228> be reconciled <2644> to [her] husband <435>: and let not the husband < 435> put <863> away <863> [his] wife <1135>.

12 But to the rest <3062> speak <3004> I, not the Lord <2962>: If <1487> any <1536> brother <80> hath <2192> a wife <1135> that believeth <571> not, and she be pleased <4909> to dwell <3611> with him, let him not put <863> her away <863>.

13 And the woman <1135> which <3748> hath < 2192> an husband <435> that believeth <571> not, and if he be pleased <4909> to dwell <3611> with her, let her not leave <863> him.

14 For the unbelieving <571> husband <435> is sanctified <37> by the wife <1135>, and the unbelieving < 571> wife <1135> is sanctified <37> by the husband < 435>: else <686> were your <5216> children <5043> unclean <169>; but now <3568> are they holy <40>.

15 But if <1487> the unbelieving <571> depart < 5562>, let him depart <5562>. A brother <80> or <2228> a sister <79> is not under bondage <1402> in such <5108> [cases]: but God <2316> hath called <2564> us to peace < 1515>.

16 For what <5101> knowest <1492> thou, O wife < 1135>, whether <1487> thou shalt save <4982> [thy] husband <435>? or <2228> how <5101> knowest <1492> thou, O man <435>, whether <1487> thou shalt save <4982> [thy] wife <1135>?

17. But as God <2316> hath distributed <3307> to every <1538> man, as the Lord <2962> hath called <2564> every <1538> one, so <3779> let him walk <4043>. And so <3779> ordain <1299> I in all <3956> churches < 1577>.

18 Is any <5100> man called <2564> being circumcised <4059>? let him not become <1986> uncircumcised <1986>. Is any <5100> called <2564> in uncircumcision <203>? let him not be circumcised <4059>.

19 Circumcision <4061> is nothing <3762>, and uncircumcision <203> is nothing <3762>, but the keeping < 5084> of the commandments <1785> of God <2316>.

20 Let every <1538> man abide <3306> in the same <5026> calling <2821> wherein <3757> he was called < 2564>.

21 Art thou called <2564> [being] a servant <1401>? care <3199> not for it: but if <1499> thou mayest <1410> be made <1096> free <1658>, use <5530> [it] rather < 3123>.

22 For he that is called <2564> in the Lord <2962>, [being] a servant <1401>, is the Lord's <2962> freeman < 558>: likewise <3668> also <2532> he that is called < 2564>, [being] free <1658>, is Christ's <5547> servant < 1401>.

23 Ye are bought <59> with a price <5092>; be not ye the servants <1401> of men <444>.

24 Brethren <80>, let every <1538> man, wherein < 3757> he is called <2564>, therein <5129> abide <3306> with God <2316>.

25. Now <1161> concerning <4012> virgins <3933> I have <2192> no <3756> commandment <2003> of the Lord <2962>: yet <1161> I give <1325> my judgment <1106> , as one that hath obtained <1653> mercy <1653> of the Lord <2962> to be faithful <4103>.

26 I suppose <3543> therefore <3767> that this < 5124> is good <2570> for the present <1764> distress < 318>, [I say], that [it is] good <2570> for a man <444> so <3779> to be.

27 Art thou bound <1210> unto a wife <1135>? seek <2212> not to be loosed <3089>. Art thou loosed <3080> from a wife <1135>? seek <2212> not a wife <1135>.

28 But and if <1437> thou marry <1060>, thou hast not sinned <264>; and if <1437> a virgin <3933> marry <1060>, she hath not sinned <264>. Nevertheless <1161> such <5108> shall have <2192> trouble <2347> in the flesh <4561>: but I spare <5339> you.

29 But this <5124> I say <5346>, brethren <80> , the time <2540> [is] short <4958>: it remaineth <3063>, that both <2532> they that have <2192> wives <1135> be as though they had <2192> none <3361>;

30 And they that weep <2799>, as though they wept < 2799> not; and they that rejoice <5463>, as though they rejoiced <5463> not; and they that buy <59>, as though they possessed <2722> not;

31 And they that use <5530> this <5127> world < 2889>, as not abusing <2710> [it]: for the fashion <4976> of this <5129> world <2889> passeth <3855> away.

32 But I would <2309> have you without <275> carefulness <275>. He that is unmarried <22> careth < 3309> for the things that belong to the Lord <2962>, how < 4459> he may please <700> the Lord <2962>:

33 But he that is married <1060> careth <3309> for the things that are of the world <2889>, how <4459> he may please <700> [his] wife <1135>.

34 There is difference <3307> [also] between <3307> a wife <1135> and a virgin <3933>. The unmarried <22> woman <1135> careth <3309> for the things of the Lord < 2962>, that she may be holy <40> both <2532> in body < 4983> and in spirit <4151>: but she that is married <1060> careth <3309> for the things of the world <2889>, how < 4459> she may please <700> [her] husband <435>.

35 And this <5124> I speak <3004> for your < 5216> own <846> profit <4851>; not that I may cast < 1911> a snare <1029> upon you, but for that which is comely < 2158>, and that ye may attend <2145> upon the Lord <2962> without <563> distraction <563>.

36. But if <1487> any <5100> man think <3543> that he behaveth <807> himself uncomely <807> toward < 1909> his virgin <3933>, if <1437> she pass <5230> the flower <5230> of [her] age <5230>, and need <3784> so <3779> require <1096>, let him do <4160> what < 3739> he will <2309>, he sinneth <264> not: let them marry <1060>.

37 Nevertheless <1161> he that standeth <2476> stedfast <1476> in his heart <2588>, having <2192> no <3361> necessity <318>, but hath <2192> power < 1849> over <4012> his own <2398> will <2307>, and hath so <5124> decreed <2919> in his heart <2588> that he will keep <5083> his virgin <3933>, doeth <4160> well <2573>.

38 So <5620> then <2532> he that giveth [her] in marriage <1547> doeth <4160> well <2573>; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage <1547> doeth <4160> better < 2573>.

39. The wife <1135> is bound <1210> by the law < 3551> as long <5550> as her husband <435> liveth < 2198>; but if <1437> her husband <435> be dead <2837>, she is at <1657> liberty <1658> to be married <1060> to whom <3739> she will <2309>; only <3440> in the Lord < 2962>.

40 But she is happier <3107> if <1437> she so < 3779> abide <3306>, after <2596> my judgment <1106>: and I think <1380> also <2504> that I have <2192> the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>.

1Corinthians 8

1. Now <1161> as touching <4012> things offered < 1494> unto idols <1494>, we know <1492> that we all < 3956> have <2192> knowledge <1108>. Knowledge <1108> puffeth <5448> up, but charity <26> edifieth <3618>.

2 And if <1487> any <5100> man think <1380> that he knoweth <1492> any <5100> thing, he knoweth < 1097> nothing <3762> yet <3764> as he ought <1163> to know <1097>.

3 But if <1487> any <5100> man love <25> God <2316>, the same <3778> is known <1097> of him.

4. As concerning <4012> therefore <3767> the eating <1035> of those <3588> things that are offered <1494> in sacrifice <1494> unto idols <1494>, we know <1492> that an idol <1497> [is] nothing <3762> in the world <2889>, and that [there is] none <3762> other <2087> God <2316> but one <1520>.

5 For though <1512> there be that are called <3004> gods <2316>, whether <1535> in heaven <3772> or < 1535> in earth <1093>, (as there be gods <2316> many < 4183>, and lords <2962> many <4183>,)

6 But to us [there is but] one <1520> God <2316>, the Father <3962>, of whom <3739> [are] all <3956> things, and we in him; and one <1520> Lord <2962> Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547>, by whom <3739> [are] all <3956> things, and we by him.

7. Howbeit <235> [there is] not in every <3956> man <3956> that knowledge <1108>: for some <5100> with conscience <4893> of the idol <1497> unto this <737> hour <734> eat <2068> [it] as a thing offered <1494> unto an idol <1494>; and their conscience <4893> being < 5607> weak <772> is defiled <3435>.

8 But meat <1033> commendeth <3936> us not to God <2316>: for neither <3777>, if <1437> we eat <5315> , are we the better <4052>; neither <3777>, if <1437> we eat <5315> not, are we the worse <5302>.

9 But take heed <991> lest <3381> by any < 3381> means <4458> this <3778> liberty <1849> of yours <5216> become <1096> a stumblingblock <4348> to them that are weak <770>.

10 For if <1437> any <5100> man see <1492> thee which <3588> hast <2192> knowledge <1108> sit < 2621> at <2621> meat in the idol's <1493> temple, shall not the conscience <4893> of him which is weak <772> be emboldened <3618> to eat <2068> those <3588> things which are offered <1494> to idols <1494>;

11 And through <1909> thy knowledge <1108> shall the weak <770> brother <80> perish <622>, for whom < 3739> Christ <5547> died <599>?

12 But when ye sin <264> so <3779> against < 1519> the brethren <80>, and wound <5180> their weak < 770> conscience <4893>, ye sin <264> against <1519> Christ <5547>.

13 Wherefore <1355>, if <1487> meat <1033> make <4624> my brother <80> to offend <4624>, I will eat <5315> no <3364> flesh <2907> while the world <165> standeth, lest <3361> I make <4624> my brother <80> to offend <4624>.

1Corinthians 9

1. Am <1510> I not an apostle <652>? am <1510> I not free <1658>? have I not seen <3708> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>? are not ye my work <2041> in the Lord <2962>?

2 If <1487> I be not an apostle <652> unto others <243>, yet <235> doubtless <1065> I am <1510> to you: for the seal <4973> of mine <1699> apostleship <651> are ye in the Lord <2962>.

3. Mine <1699> answer <627> to them that do examine <350> me is this <3778>,

4 Have <2192> we not power <1849> to eat < 5315> and to drink <4095>?

5 Have <2192> we not power <1849> to lead < 4013> about <4013> a sister <79>, a wife <1135>, as well <2532> as other <3062> apostles <652>, and [as] the brethren <80> of the Lord <2962>, and Cephas <2786>?

6 Or <2228> I only <3441> and Barnabas <921>, have <2192> not we power <1849> to forbear <3361> working <2038>?

7 Who <5100> goeth a warfare <4754> any <4218> time <4218> at <4218> his own <2398> charges < 3800>? who <5100> planteth <5452> a vineyard <290>, and eateth <2068> not of the fruit <2590> thereof <846>? or <2228> who <5100> feedeth <4165> a flock <4167>, and eateth <2068> not of the milk <1051> of the flock < 4167>?

8 Say <2980> I these <5023> things as a man < 444>? or <2228> saith <3004> not the law <3551> the same <5023> also <2532>?

9 For it is written <1125> in the law <3551> of Moses <3475>, Thou shalt not muzzle <5392> the mouth of the ox <1016> that treadeth <248> out the corn. Doth God <2316> take care <3199> for oxen <1016>?

10 Or <2228> saith <3004> he [it] altogether < 3843> for our sakes? For our sakes, no <1063> doubt <1063>, [this] is written <1125>: that he that ploweth <722> should <3784> plow <722> in hope <1680>; and that he that thresheth <248> in hope <1680> should be partaker <3348> of his hope <1680>.

11 If <1487> we have sown <4687> unto you spiritual <4152> things, [is it] a great <3173> thing if <1487> we shall reap <2325> your <5216> carnal <4559> things?

12 If <1487> others <243> be partakers <3348> of [this <3588>] power <1849> over you, [are] not we rather <3123>? Nevertheless <235> we have not used <5530> this <5026> power <1849>; but suffer <4722> all <3956> things, lest <3361> we should hinder <1325> the gospel < 2098> of Christ <5547>.

13 Do ye not know <1492> that they which minister < 2038> about holy <2413> things live <2068> [of the things] of the temple <2411>? and they which wait <4332> at the altar <2379> are partakers <4829> with the altar <2379>?

14 Even <2532> so <3779> hath the Lord <2962> ordained <1299> that they which preach <2605> the gospel < 2098> should live <2198> of the gospel <2098>.

15. But I have used <5530> none <3762> of these < 5130> things: neither have I written <1125> these <5023> things, that it should be so <3779> done <1096> unto me: for [it were] better <3123> for me to die <599>, than <2228> that any <5100> man should make <2758> my glorying <2745> void <2758>.

16 For though <1437> I preach <2097> the gospel < 2097>, I have <2076> nothing <3756> to glory <2745> of: for necessity <318> is laid <1945> upon me; yea < 1161>, woe <3759> is unto me, if <1437> I preach < 2097> not the gospel <2097>!

17 For if <1487> I do <4238> this <5124> thing willingly <1635>, I have <2192> a reward <3408>: but if <1487> against <210> my will <210>, a dispensation <3622> [of the gospel] is committed <4100> unto me.

18 What <5101> is my reward <3408> then <3767> ? [Verily] that, when I preach <2097> the gospel <2097>, I may make <5087> the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547> without <77> charge <77>, that I abuse <2710> not my power < 1849> in the gospel <2098>.

19. For though I be free <1658> from all <3956> [men], yet have I made <1402> myself <1683> servant < 1402> unto all <3956>, that I might gain <2770> the more <4119>.

20 And unto the Jews <2453> I became <1096> as a Jew <2453>, that I might gain <2770> the Jews <2453>; to them that are under <5259> the law <3551>, as under < 5259> the law <3551>, that I might gain <2770> them that are under <5259> the law <3551>;

21 To them that are without <459> law <459>, as without <459> law <459>, (being not without <459> law <459> to God <2316>, but under <1772> the law < 1772> to Christ <5547>,) that I might gain <2770> them that are without <459> law <459>.

22 To the weak <770> became <1096> I as weak < 770>, that I might gain <2770> the weak <770>: I am made <1096> all <3956> things to all <3956> [men], that I might by all <3956> means <3843> save <4982> some < 5100>.

23 And this <5124> I do <4160> for the gospel's < 2098> sake, that I might be partaker <4791> thereof <846> with [you].

24. Know <1492> ye not that they which run <5143> in a race <4712> run <5143> all <3956>, but one <1520> receiveth <2983> the prize <1017>? So <3779> run < 5143>, that ye may obtain <2638>.

25 And every <3956> man that striveth <75> for the mastery is temperate <1467> in all <3956> things. Now < 3767> they [do it] to obtain <2983> a corruptible <5349> crown <4735>; but we an incorruptible <862>.

26 I therefore <5106> so <3779> run <5143>, not as uncertainly <84>; so <3779> fight <4438> I, not as one that beateth <1194> the air <109>:

27 But I keep <5299> under <5299> my body < 4983>, and bring <1396> [it] into subjection <1396>: lest <3381> that by any <3381> means <4458>, when I have preached <2784> to others <243>, I myself should be a castaway <96>.

1Corinthians 10

1. Moreover <1161>, brethren <80>, I would < 2309> not that ye should be ignorant <50>, how that all < 3956> our fathers <3962> were under <5259> the cloud < 3507>, and all <3956> passed <1330> through <1223> the sea <2281>;

2 And were all <3956> baptized <907> unto Moses < 3475> in the cloud <3507> and in the sea <2281>;

3 And did all <3956> eat <5315> the same <846> spiritual <4152> meat <1033>;

4 And did all <3956> drink <4095> the same < 846> spiritual <4152> drink <4188>: for they drank < 4095> of that spiritual <4152> Rock <4073> that followed <190> them: and that Rock <4073> was Christ <5547>.

5 But with many <4119> of them God <2316> was not well <2106> pleased <2106>: for they were overthrown < 2693> in the wilderness <2048>.

6. Now <1161> these <5023> things were our examples <5179>, to the intent we should not lust <1938> after < 1938> evil <2556> things, as they also <2548> lusted < 1937>.

7 Neither <3366> be ye idolaters <1496>, as [were] some <5100> of them; as it is written <1125>, The people < 2992> sat <2523> down <2523> to eat <5315> and drink <4095>, and rose <450> up to play <3815>.

8 Neither <3366> let us commit <4203> fornication <4203>, as some <5100> of them committed <4203>, and fell <4098> in one <3391> day <2250> three <5140> and twenty <1501> thousand <5505>.

9 Neither <3366> let us tempt <1598> Christ < 5547>, as some <5100> of them also <2532> tempted < 3985>, and were destroyed <622> of serpents <3789>.

10 Neither <3366> murmur <1111> ye, as some < 5100> of them also <2532> murmured <1111>, and were destroyed <622> of the destroyer <3644>.

11 Now <1161> all <3956> these <5023> things happened <4819> unto them for ensamples <5179>: and they are written <1125> for our admonition <3559>, upon whom < 3739> the ends <5056> of the world <165> are come < 2658>.

12 Wherefore <5620> let him that thinketh <1380> he standeth <2476> take heed <991> lest <3361> he fall < 4098>.

13 There hath no <3756> temptation <3986> taken < 2983> you but such as is common <442> to man <442>: but God <2316> [is] faithful <4103>, who <3739> will not suffer <1439> you to be tempted <3985> above <5228> that ye are able <1410>; but will with the temptation <3986> also < 2532> make <4160> a way <1545> to escape <1545>, that ye may be able <1410> to bear <5297> [it].

14 Wherefore <1355>, my dearly beloved <27>, flee <5343> from idolatry <1495>.

15. I speak <3004> as to wise <5429> men; judge < 2919> ye what <3739> I say <5346>.

16 The cup <4221> of blessing <2129> which < 3739> we bless <2127>, is it not the communion <2842> of the blood <129> of Christ <5547>? The bread <740> which <3739> we break <2806>, is it not the communion <2842> of the body <4983> of Christ <5547>?

17 For we [being] many <4183> are one <1520> bread <740>, [and] one <1520> body <4983>: for we are all < 3956> partakers <3348> of that one <1520> bread <740>.

18 Behold <991> Israel <2474> after <2596> the flesh <4561>: are not they which eat <2068> of the sacrifices <2378> partakers <2844> of the altar <2379>?

19 What <5101> say <5346> I then <3767>? that the idol <1497> is any <5100> thing, or <2228> that which is offered <1494> in sacrifice <1494> to idols < 1494> is any <5100> thing?

20 But I [say], that the things which <3739> the Gentiles <1484> sacrifice <2380>, they sacrifice <2380> to devils <1140>, and not to God <2316>: and I would <2309> not that ye should have fellowship <2844> with devils <1140>.

21 Ye cannot <1410> drink <4095> the cup < 4221> of the Lord <2962>, and the cup <4221> of devils < 1140>: ye cannot <1410> be partakers <3348> of the Lord's <2962> table <5132>, and of the table <5132> of devils <1140>.

22 Do we provoke <3863> the Lord <2962> to jealousy? are we stronger <2478> than he?

23. All <3956> things are lawful <1832> for me, but all <3956> things are not expedient <4851>: all <3956> things are lawful <1832> for me, but all <3956> things edify <3618> not.

24 Let no <3367> man <3367> seek <2212> his own <1438>, but every <1538> man another's <2087> [wealth].

25 Whatsoever <3956> is sold <4453> in the shambles <3111>, [that] eat <2068>, asking <350> no <3367> question for conscience <4893> sake:

26 For the earth <1093> [is] the Lord's <2962>, and the fulness <4138> thereof <846>.

27 If <1487> any <5100> of them that believe < 571> not bid <2564> you [to a feast], and ye be disposed < 2309> to go <4198>; whatsoever <3956> is set <3908> before <3908> you, eat <2068>, asking <350> no < 3367> question for conscience <4893> sake.

28 But if <1437> any <5100> man say <2036> unto you, This <5124> is offered <1494> in sacrifice < 1494> unto idols <1494>, eat <2068> not for his sake that shewed <3377> it, and for conscience <4893> sake: for the earth <1093> [is] the Lord's <2962>, and the fulness < 4138> thereof <846>:

29 Conscience <4893>, I say <3004>, not thine < 1438> own <1438>, but of the other <2087>: for why < 5101> is my liberty <1657> judged <2919> of another < 243> [man's] conscience <4893>?

30 For if <1487> I by grace <5485> be a partaker <3348>, why <5101> am I evil <987> spoken <987> of for that for which <3739> I give thanks <2168>?

31 Whether <1535> therefore <3767> ye eat < 2068>, or <1535> drink <4095>, or <1535> whatsoever <5100> ye do <4160>, do <4160> all <3956> to the glory <1391> of God <2316>.

32 Give <1096> none <677> offence <677>, neither to the Jews <2453>, nor <2532> to the Gentiles < 1672>, nor <2532> to the church <1577> of God <2316>:

33 Even <2504> as I please <700> all <3956> [men] in all <3956> [things], not seeking <2212> mine < 1683> own <1683> profit <4851>, but the [profit <4851> ] of many <4183>, that they may be saved <4982>.

1Corinthians 11

1. Be ye followers <3402> of me, even <2531> as I also <2504> [am] of Christ <5547>.

2 Now <1161> I praise <1867> you, brethren < 80>, that ye remember <3415> me in all <3956> things, and keep <2722> the ordinances <3862>, as I delivered <3860> [them] to you.

3 But I would <2309> have you know <1492>, that the head <2776> of every <3956> man <435> is Christ < 5547>; and the head <2776> of the woman <1135> [is] the man <435>; and the head <2776> of Christ <5547> [is] God < 2316>.

4 Every <3956> man <435> praying <4336> or <2228> prophesying <4395>, having <2192> [his] head < 2776> covered <2596>, dishonoureth <2617> his head < 2776>.

5 But every <3956> woman <1135> that prayeth < 4336> or <2228> prophesieth <4395> with [her] head < 2776> uncovered <177> dishonoureth <2617> her head < 2776>: for that is even <2532> all one <1520> as if she were shaven <3587>.

6 For if <1487> the woman <1135> be not covered < 2619>, let her also <2532> be shorn <2751>: but if < 1487> it be a shame <149> for a woman <1135> to be shorn <2751> or <2228> shaven <3587>, let her be covered < 2619>.

7 For a man <435> indeed <3303> ought <3784> not to cover <2619> [his] head <2776>, forasmuch as he is the image <1504> and glory <1391> of God <2316>: but the woman <1135> is the glory <1391> of the man <435>.

8 For the man <435> is not of the woman <1135>; but the woman <1135> of the man <435>.

9 Neither <3756> was the man <435> created < 2936> for the woman <1135>; but the woman <1135> for the man <435>.

10 For this <5124> cause <1223> ought <3784> the woman <1135> to have <2192> power <1849> on < 1909> [her] head <2776> because <1223> of the angels < 32>.

11 Nevertheless <4133> neither <3777> is the man <435> without <5565> the woman <1135>, neither < 3777> the woman <1135> without <5565> the man <435>, in the Lord <2962>.

12 For as the woman <1135> [is] of the man <435>, even so <3779> [is] the man <435> also <2532> by the woman <1135>; but all <3956> things of God <2316>.

13 Judge <2919> in yourselves <846>: is it comely <4241> that a woman <1135> pray <4336> unto God < 2316> uncovered <177>?

14 Doth not even <3761> nature <5449> itself < 846> teach <1321> you, that, if <1437> a man <435> have long <2863> hair <2863>, it is a shame <819> unto him?

15 But if <1437> a woman <1135> have long < 2863> hair <2863>, it is a glory <1391> to her: for [her] hair <2864> is given <1325> her for a covering <4018>.

16 But if <1487> any <5100> man seem <1380> to be contentious <5380>, we have <2192> no <3756> such <5108> custom <4914>, neither <3761> the churches < 1577> of God <2316>.

17. Now <1161> in this <5124> that I declare < 3853> [unto you] I praise <1867> [you] not, that ye come < 4905> together <4905> not for the better <2909>, but for the worse <2276>.

18 For first <4412> of all, when ye come <4905> together <4905> in the church <1577>, I hear <191> that there be divisions <4978> among <1722> you; and I partly < 5100> believe <4100> it.

19 For there must <1163> be also <2532> heresies <139> among <1722> you, that they which are approved < 1384> may be made <1096> manifest <5318> among <1722> you.

20 When ye come <4905> together <4905> therefore <3767> into <1909> one <846> place, [this] is not to eat <5315> the Lord's <2960> supper <1173>.

21 For in eating <5315> every <1538> one taketh < 4301> before <4301> [other] his own <2398> supper < 1173>: and one <3303> is hungry <3983>, and another < 3739> is drunken <3184>.

22 What <1063>? have <2192> ye not houses < 3614> to eat <2068> and to drink <4095> in? or <2228> despise <2706> ye the church <1577> of God <2316>, and shame <2617> them that have <2192> not? What <5101> shall I say <2036> to you? shall I praise <1867> you in this <5129>? I praise <1867> [you] not.

23. For I have received <3880> of the Lord <2962> that which <3739> also <2532> I delivered <3860> unto you, That the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> the [same <846>] night <3571> in which <3739> he was betrayed <3860> took <2983> bread <740>:

24 And when he had given thanks <2168>, he brake < 2806> [it], and said <2036>, Take <2983>, eat <5315>: this <5124> is my body <4983>, which <3588> is broken <2806> for you: this <5124> do <4160> in remembrance < 364> of me.

25 After <5615> the same <5615> manner <5615> also <2532> [he took] the cup <4221>, when <3326> he had supped <1172>, saying <3004>, This <5124> cup < 4221> is the new <2537> testament <1242> in my blood < 129>: this <5124> do <4160> ye, as oft <3740> as ye drink <4095> [it], in remembrance <364> of me.

26 For as often <3740> as ye eat <2068> this < 5126> bread <740>, and drink <4095> this <5124> cup <4221>, ye do shew <2605> the Lord's <2962> death < 2288> till <3757> he come <2064>.

27 Wherefore <5620> whosoever <302> shall eat < 2068> this <5126> bread <740>, and drink <4095> [this <5126>] cup <4221> of the Lord <2962>, unworthily < 371>, shall be guilty <1777> of the body <4983> and blood <129> of the Lord <2962>.

28 But let a man <444> examine <1381> himself < 1438>, and so <3779> let him eat <2068> of [that] bread < 740>, and drink <4095> of [that] cup <4221>.

29 For he that eateth <2068> and drinketh <4095> unworthily <371>, eateth <2068> and drinketh <4095> damnation <2917> to himself <1438>, not discerning <1252> the Lord's <2962> body <4983>.

30 For this <5124> cause <1223> many <4183> [are] weak <770> and sickly <732> among <1722> you, and many <2425> sleep <2837>.

31 For if <1487> we would judge <1252> ourselves <1438>, we should not be judged <2919>.

32 But when we are judged <2919>, we are chastened < 3811> of the Lord <2962>, that we should not be condemned < 2632> with the world <2889>.

33 Wherefore <5620>, my brethren <80>, when ye come <4905> together <4905> to eat <5315>, tarry <1551> one <240> for another <240>.

34 And if <1487> any <5100> man hunger <3983>, let him eat <2068> at <1722> home <3624>; that ye come <4905> not together <4905> unto condemnation <2917>. And the rest <3062> will I set <1299> in order <1299> when <5613> I come <2064>.

1Corinthians 12

1. Now <1161> concerning <4012> spiritual < 4152> [gifts], brethren <80>, I would <2309> not have you ignorant <50>.

2 Ye know <1492> that ye were Gentiles <1484>, carried <520> away <520> unto these <3588> dumb < 880> idols <1497>, even <5613> as ye were led <71>.

3 Wherefore <1352> I give you to understand <1107>, that no <3762> man <3762> speaking <2980> by the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> calleth <3004> Jesus <2424> accursed <331>: and [that] no <3762> man <3762> can < 1410> say <2036> that Jesus <2424> is the Lord <2962>, but by the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.

4 Now <1161> there are diversities <1243> of gifts <5486>, but the same <846> Spirit <4151>.

5 And there are differences <1243> of administrations < 1248>, but the same <846> Lord <2962>.

6 And there are diversities <1243> of operations < 1755>, but it is the same <846> God <2316> which < 3588> worketh <1754> all <3956> in all <3956>.

7 But the manifestation <5321> of the Spirit <4151> is given <1325> to every <1538> man <1538> to profit < 4851> withal.

8 For to one <3303> is given <1325> by the Spirit <4151> the word <3056> of wisdom <4678>; to another < 243> the word <3056> of knowledge <1108> by the same < 846> Spirit <4151>;

9 To another <2087> faith <4102> by the same < 846> Spirit <4151>; to another <243> the gifts <5486> of healing <2386> by the same <846> Spirit <4151>;

10 To another <243> the working <1755> of miracles <1411>; to another <243> prophecy <4394>; to another < 243> discerning <1253> of spirits <4151>; to another < 2087> [divers] kinds <1085> of tongues <1100>; to another <243> the interpretation <2058> of tongues <1100>:

11 But all <3956> these <5023> worketh <1754> that one <1520> and the selfsame <846> Spirit <4151>, dividing <1244> to every <1538> man <1538> severally < 2398> as he will <1014>.

12. For as the body <4983> is one <1520>, and hath <2192> many <4183> members <3196>, and all <3956> the members <3196> of that one <1520> body <4983>, being <5607> many <4183>, are one <1520> body <4983>: so <3779> also <2532> [is] Christ <5547>.

13 For by one <1520> Spirit <4151> are we all < 3956> baptized <907> into <1519> one <1520> body < 4983>, whether <1535> [we be] Jews <2453> or <1535> Gentiles <1672>, whether <1535> [we be] bond <1401> or <1535> free <1658>; and have been all <3956> made < 4222> to drink <4222> into <1519> one <1520> Spirit <4151>.

14 For the body <4983> is not one <1520> member < 3196>, but many <4183>.

15 If <1437> the foot <4228> shall say <2036>, Because <3754> I am <1510> not the hand <5495>, I am <1510> not of the body <4983>; is it therefore <5124> not of the body <4983>?

16 And if <1437> the ear <3775> shall say < 2036>, Because <3754> I am <1510> not the eye <3788>, I am <1510> not of the body <4983>; is it therefore < 5124> not of the body <4983>?

17 If <1487> the whole <3650> body <4983> [were] an eye <3788>, where <4226> [were] the hearing < 189>? If <1487> the whole <3650> [were] hearing <189>, where <4226> [were] the smelling <3750>?

18 But now <3570> hath God <2316> set <5087> the members <3196> every <1538> one <1520> of them in the body <4983>, as it hath pleased <2309> him.

19 And if <1487> they were all <3956> one < 1520> member <3196>, where <4226> [were] the body < 4983>?

20 But now <3568> [are they] many <4183> members <3196>, yet <1161> but one <1520> body <4983>.

21 And the eye <3788> cannot <1410> say <2036> unto the hand <5495>, I have <2192> no <3756> need < 5532> of thee: nor <2228> again <3825> the head <2776> to the feet <4228>, I have <2192> no <3756> need < 5532> of you.

22 Nay <235>, much <4183> more <3123> those <3588> members <3196> of the body <4983>, which seem < 1380> to be more feeble <772>, are necessary <316>:

23 And those [members] of the body <4983>, which < 3739> we think <1380> to be less <820> honourable < 820>, upon these <5125> we bestow <4060> more <4055> abundant <4055> honour <5092>; and our uncomely <809> [parts] have <2192> more <4055> abundant <4055> comeliness <2157>.

24 For our comely <2158> [parts] have <2192> no < 3756> need <5532>: but God <2316> hath tempered <4786> the body <4983> together <4786>, having given <1325> more <4055> abundant <4055> honour <5092> to that [part] which lacked <5302>:

25 That there should be no <3361> schism <4978> in the body <4983>; but [that] the members <3196> should have the same <846> care <3309> one <240> for another <240>.

26 And whether <1535> one <1520> member <3196> suffer <3958>, all <3956> the members <3196> suffer < 4841> with it; or <1535> one <1520> member <3196> be honoured <1392>, all <3956> the members <3196> rejoice <4796> with it.

27. Now <1161> ye are the body <4983> of Christ < 5547>, and members <3196> in particular <3313>.

28 And God <2316> hath set <5087> some <3588> in the church <1577>, first <4412> apostles <652>, secondarily <1208> prophets <4396>, thirdly <5154> teachers <1320>, after <1899> that miracles <1411>, then <1534> gifts <5486> of healings <2386>, helps <484> , governments <2941>, diversities <1085> of tongues < 1100>.

29 [Are] all <3956> apostles <652>? [are] all < 3956> prophets <4396>? [are] all <3956> teachers < 1320>? [are] all <3956> workers <1411> of miracles < 1411>?

30 Have <2192> all <3956> the gifts <5486> of healing <2386>? do all <3956> speak <2980> with tongues <1100>? do all <3956> interpret <1329>?

31 But covet <2206> earnestly <2206> the best < 2909> gifts <5486>: and yet <2089> shew <1166> I unto you a more <5236> excellent <5236> way <3598>.

1Corinthians 13

1. Though <1437> I speak <2980> with the tongues < 1100> of men <444> and of angels <32>, and have <2192> not charity <26>, I am become <1096> [as] sounding < 2278> brass <5475>, or <2228> a tinkling <214> cymbal <2950>.

2 And though <1437> I have <2192> [the gift of] prophecy <4394>, and understand <1492> all <3956> mysteries <3466>, and all <3956> knowledge <1108>; and though <1437> I have <2192> all <3956> faith <4102> , so <5620> that I could remove <3179> mountains <3735>, and have <2192> not charity <26>, I am <1510> nothing <3762>.

3 And though <1437> I bestow <5595> all <3956> my goods <5224> to feed <5595> [the poor], and though < 1437> I give <3860> my body <4983> to be burned <2545> , and have <2192> not charity <26>, it profiteth <5623> me nothing <3762>.

4. Charity <26> suffereth <3114> long <3114>, [and] is kind <5541>; charity <26> envieth <2206> not; charity <26> vaunteth <4068> not itself, is not puffed < 5448> up,

5 Doth not behave <807> itself unseemly, seeketh < 2212> not her own <1438>, is not easily provoked <3947>, thinketh <3049> no <3756> evil <2556>;

6 Rejoiceth <5463> not in iniquity <93>, but rejoiceth <4796> in the truth <225>;

7 Beareth <4722> all <3956> things, believeth < 4100> all <3956> things, hopeth <1679> all <3956> things, endureth <5278> all <3956> things.

8. Charity <26> never <3763> faileth <1601>: but whether <1535> [there be] prophecies <4394>, they shall fail <2673>; whether <1535> [there be] tongues <1100>, they shall cease <3973>; whether <1535> [there be] knowledge <1108>, it shall vanish <2673> away <2673>.

9 For we know <1097> in part <3313>, and we prophesy <4395> in part <3313>.

10 But when <3752> that which is perfect <5046> is come <2064>, then <5119> that which is in part <3313> shall be done <2673> away <2673>.

11 When <3753> I was a child <3516>, I spake < 2980> as a child <3516>, I understood <5426> as a child < 3516>, I thought <3049> as a child <3516>: but when < 3753> I became <1096> a man <435>, I put <2673> away <2673> childish <3516> things.

12 For now <737> we see <991> through <1223> a glass <2072>, darkly <135>; but then <5119> face < 4383> to face <4383>: now <737> I know <1097> in part <3313>; but then <5119> shall I know <1921> even < 2531> as also <2532> I am known <1921>.

13 And now <3570> abideth <3306> faith <4102>, hope <1680>, charity <26>, these <5023> three < 5140>; but the greatest <3187> of these <5130> [is] charity <26>.

1Corinthians 14

1. Follow <1377> after charity <26>, and desire < 2206> spiritual <4152> [gifts], but rather <3123> that ye may prophesy <4395>.

2 For he that speaketh <2980> in an [unknown] tongue < 1100> speaketh <2980> not unto men <444>, but unto God < 2316>: for no <3762> man <3762> understandeth <191> [him]; howbeit in the spirit <4151> he speaketh <2980> mysteries <3466>.

3 But he that prophesieth <4395> speaketh <2980> unto men <444> [to] edification <3619>, and exhortation < 3874>, and comfort <3889>.

4 He that speaketh <2980> in an [unknown] tongue < 1100> edifieth <3618> himself <1438>; but he that prophesieth <4395> edifieth <3618> the church <1577>.

5 I would <2309> that ye all <3956> spake < 2980> with tongues <1100>, but rather <3123> that ye prophesied <4395>: for greater <3187> [is] he that prophesieth <4395> than <2228> he that speaketh <2980> with tongues <1100>, except <1508> he interpret <1329>, that the church <1577> may receive <2983> edifying <3619>.

6. Now <3570>, brethren <80>, if <1437> I come <2064> unto you speaking <2980> with tongues <1100>, what <5101> shall I profit <5623> you, except <3362> I shall speak <2980> to you either <2228> by revelation < 602>, or <2228> by knowledge <1108>, or <2228> by prophesying <4394>, or <2228> by doctrine <1322>?

7 And even <3676> things without <895> life < 895> giving <1325> sound <5456>, whether <1535> pipe <836> or <1535> harp <2788>, except <3362> they give <1325> a distinction <1293> in the sounds <5353>, how <4459> shall it be known <1097> what <3588> is piped <832> or <2228> harped <2789>?

8 For if <1437> the trumpet <4536> give <1325> an uncertain <82> sound <5456>, who <5101> shall prepare <3903> himself to the battle <4171>?

9 So <3779> likewise <2532> ye, except <3362> ye utter <1325> by the tongue <1100> words <3056> easy <2154> to be understood <2154>, how <4459> shall it be known <1097> what <3588> is spoken <2980>? for ye shall speak <2980> into <1519> the air <109>.

10 There are, it may be, so <5118> many <5118> kinds <1085> of voices <5456> in the world <2889>, and none <3762> of them [is] without <880> signification < 880>.

11 Therefore <3767> if <1437> I know <1492> not the meaning <1411> of the voice <5456>, I shall be unto him that speaketh <2980> a barbarian <915>, and he that speaketh <2980> [shall be] a barbarian <915> unto me.

12 Even <2532> so <3779> ye, forasmuch <1893> as ye are zealous <2207> of spiritual <4151> [gifts], seek < 2212> that ye may excel <4052> to the edifying <3619> of the church <1577>.

13 Wherefore <1355> let him that speaketh <2980> in an [unknown] tongue <1100> pray <4336> that he may interpret <1329>.

14 For if <1437> I pray <4336> in an [unknown] tongue <1100>, my spirit <4151> prayeth <4336>, but my understanding <3563> is unfruitful <175>.

15. What <5101> is it then <3767>? I will pray < 4336> with the spirit <4151>, and I will pray <4336> with the understanding <3563> also <2532>: I will sing <5567> with the spirit <4151>, and I will sing <5567> with the understanding <3563> also <2532>.

16 Else <1893> when <1437> thou shalt bless < 2127> with the spirit <4151>, how <4459> shall he that occupieth <378> the room <5117> of the unlearned <2399> say <2046> Amen <281> at <1909> thy giving of thanks < 2169>, seeing <1894> he understandeth <1492> not what < 5101> thou sayest <3004>?

17 For thou verily <3303> givest thanks <2168> well <2573>, but the other <2087> is not edified <3618>.

18 I thank <2168> my God <2316>, I speak < 2980> with tongues <1100> more <3123> than ye all < 3956>:

19 Yet <235> in the church <1577> I had rather < 2309> speak <2980> five <4002> words <3056> with my understanding <3563>, that [by my voice] I might teach <2727> others <243> also <2532>, than <2228> ten <3463> thousand <3463> words <3056> in an [unknown] tongue < 1100>.

20 Brethren <80>, be not children <3813> in understanding <5424>: howbeit <235> in malice <2549> be ye children <3515>, but in understanding <5424> be men < 5046>.

21. In the law <3551> it is written <1125>, With [men of] other <2084> tongues <2084> and other <2087> lips <5491> will I speak <2980> unto this <5129> people <2992>; and yet for all <3779> that will they not hear < 1522> me, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>.

22 Wherefore <5620> tongues <1100> are for a sign <4592>, not to them that believe <4100>, but to them that believe <571> not: but prophesying <4394> [serveth] not for them that believe <571> not, but for them which believe <4100>.

23 If <1437> therefore <3767> the whole <3650> church <1577> be come <4905> together <4905> into < 1909> one <846> place, and all <3956> speak <2980> with tongues <1100>, and there come <1525> in [those that are] unlearned <2399>, or <2228> unbelievers <571>, will they not say <2046> that ye are mad <3105>?

24 But if <1437> all <3956> prophesy <4395>, and there come <1525> in one <5100> that believeth <571> not, or <2228> [one] unlearned <2399>, he is convinced < 1651> of all <3956>, he is judged <350> of all <3956>:

25 And thus <3779> are the secrets <2927> of his heart <2588> made <1096> manifest <5318>; and so < 3779> falling <4098> down on <1909> [his] face <4383> he will worship <4352> God <2316>, and report <518> that God <2316> is in you of a truth <3689>.

26. How <5101> is it then <3767>, brethren <80> ? when <3752> ye come <4905> together <4905>, every < 1538> one of you hath <2192> a psalm <5568>, hath < 2192> a doctrine <1322>, hath <2192> a tongue <1100>, hath <2192> a revelation <602>, hath <2192> an interpretation <2058>. Let all <3956> things be done < 1096> unto edifying <3619>.

27 If <1535> any <5100> man speak <2980> in an [unknown] tongue <1100>, [let it be] by two <1417>, or < 2228> at the most <4119> [by] three <5140>, and [that] by course <3313>; and let one <1520> interpret <1329>.

28 But if <1437> there be no <3361> interpreter < 1328>, let him keep <4601> silence <4601> in the church < 1577>; and let him speak <2980> to himself <1438>, and to God <2316>.

29 Let the prophets <4396> speak <2980> two < 1417> or <2228> three <5140>, and let the other <243> judge <1252>.

30 If <1437> [any thing] be revealed <601> to another <243> that sitteth <2521> by, let the first < 4413> hold <4601> his peace <4601>.

31 For ye may <1410> all <3956> prophesy < 4395> one by one <1520>, that all <3956> may learn < 3129>, and all <3956> may be comforted <3870>.

32 And the spirits <4151> of the prophets <4396> are subject <5293> to the prophets <4396>.

33 For God <2316> is not [the author] of confusion < 181>, but of peace <1515>, as in all <3956> churches < 1577> of the saints <40>.

34. Let your <5216> women <1135> keep <4601> silence <4601> in the churches <1577>: for it is not permitted <2010> unto them to speak <2980>; but [they are commanded] to be under <5293> obedience <5293>, as also <2532> saith <3004> the law <3551>.

35 And if <1487> they will <2309> learn <3129> any <5100> thing, let them ask <1905> their husbands < 435> at <1722> home <3624>: for it is a shame <149> for women <1135> to speak <2980> in the church <1577>.

36. What <2228>? came <1831> the word <3056> of God <2316> out from you? or <2228> came <2658> it unto you only <3441>?

37 If <1487> any <1536> man think <1380> himself to be a prophet <4396>, or <2228> spiritual < 4152>, let him acknowledge <1921> that the things that I write <1125> unto you are the commandments <1785> of the Lord < 2962>.

38 But if <1487> any <1536> man be ignorant < 50>, let him be ignorant <50>.

39 Wherefore <5620>, brethren <80>, covet < 2206> to prophesy <4395>, and forbid <2967> not to speak <2980> with tongues <1100>.

40 Let all <3956> things be done <1096> decently <2156> and in order <5010>.

1Corinthians 15

1. Moreover <1161>, brethren <80>, I declare < 1107> unto you the gospel <2098> which <3739> I preached <2097> unto you, which <3739> also <2532> ye have received <3880>, and wherein <3757> ye stand <2476>;

2 By which <3739> also <2532> ye are saved < 4982>, if <1487> ye keep <2722> in memory what <5101> I preached <2097> unto you, unless <1622> ye have believed < 4100> in vain <1500>.

3 For I delivered <3860> unto you first <4413> of all that which <3739> I also <2532> received <3880>, how that Christ <5547> died <599> for our sins <266> according <2596> to the scriptures <1124>;

4 And that he was buried <2290>, and that he rose < 1453> again <1453> the third <5154> day <2250> according <2596> to the scriptures <1124>:

5 And that he was seen <3700> of Cephas <2786>, then <1534> of the twelve <1427>:

6 After <1899> that, he was seen <3700> of above <1883> five <4001> hundred <4001> brethren <80> at <2178> once <2178>; of whom <3739> the greater < 4119> part <4119> remain <3306> unto this present < 737>, but some <5100> are fallen <2837> asleep <2837>.

7 After <1899> that, he was seen <3700> of James <2385>; then <1534> of all <3956> the apostles < 652>.

8 And last <2078> of all <3956> he was seen < 3700> of me also <2504>, as of one born <1626> out of due time.

9 For I am <1510> the least <1646> of the apostles <652>, that am <1510> not meet <2425> to be called < 2563> an apostle <652>, because <1360> I persecuted < 1377> the church <1577> of God <2316>.

10 But by the grace <5485> of God <2316> I am < 1510> what <3739> I am <1510>: and his grace <5485> which [was bestowed] upon me was not in vain <2756>; but I laboured <2872> more <4055> abundantly <4054> than they all < 3956>: yet <1161> not I, but the grace <5485> of God < 2316> which <3588> was with me.

11 Therefore <3767> whether <1535> [it were] I or <1535> they, so <3779> we preach <2784>, and so < 3779> ye believed <4100>.

12. Now <1161> if <1487> Christ <5547> be preached <2784> that he rose <1453> from the dead <3498>, how <4459> say <3004> some <5100> among <1722> you that there is no <3756> resurrection <386> of the dead < 3498>?

13 But if <1487> there be no <3756> resurrection <386> of the dead <3498>, then <3761> is Christ < 5547> not risen <1453>:

14 And if <1487> Christ <5547> be not risen < 1453>, then <686> [is] our preaching <2782> vain < 2756>, and your <5216> faith <4102> [is] also <2532> vain <2756>.

15 Yea <1161>, and we are found <2147> false < 5575> witnesses <5575> of God <2316>; because <3754> we have testified <3140> of God <2316> that he raised < 1453> up Christ <5547>: whom <3739> he raised <1453> not up, if <1512> so <686> be that the dead <3498> rise <1453> not.

16 For if <1487> the dead <3498> rise <1453> not, then <3761> is not Christ <5547> raised <1453>:

17 And if <1487> Christ <5547> be not raised < 1453>, your <5216> faith <4102> [is] vain <3152>; ye are yet <2089> in your <5216> sins <266>.

18 Then <686> they also <2532> which are fallen < 2837> asleep <2837> in Christ <5547> are perished < 622>.

19 If <1487> in this <5126> life <2222> only <3440> we have <2070> hope <1679> in Christ <5547>, we are of all <3956> men <444> most miserable <1652>.

20. But now <3570> is Christ <5547> risen < 1453> from the dead <3498>, [and] become <1096> the firstfruits <536> of them that slept <2837>.

21 For since <1894> by man <444> [came] death < 2288>, by man <444> [came] also <2532> the resurrection < 386> of the dead <3498>.

22 For as in Adam <76> all <3956> die <599>, even <2532> so <3779> in Christ <5547> shall all < 3956> be made <2227> alive <2227>.

23 But every <1538> man in his own <2398> order < 5001>: Christ <5547> the firstfruits <536>; afterward < 1899> they that are Christ's <5547> at <1722> his coming <3952>.

24 Then <1534> [cometh] the end <5056>, when < 3752> he shall have delivered <3860> up the kingdom <932> to God <2316>, even <2532> the Father <3962>; when < 3752> he shall have put <2673> down <2673> all <3956> rule <746> and all <3956> authority <1849> and power < 1411>.

25 For he must <1163> reign <936>, till <3757> he hath put <5087> all <3956> enemies <2190> under < 5259> his feet <4228>.

26 The last <2078> enemy <2190> [that] shall be destroyed <2673> [is] death <2288>.

27 For he hath put <5293> all <3956> things under <5259> his feet <4228>. But when <3752> he saith < 2036> all <3956> things are put <5293> under <5259> [him, it is] manifest <1212> that he is excepted <1622>, which did put <5293> all <3956> things under <5293> him.

28 And when <3752> all <3956> things shall be subdued <5293> unto him, then <5119> shall the Son <5207> also <2532> himself <846> be subject <5293> unto him that put <5293> all <3956> things under <5293> him, that God <2316> may be all <3956> in all <3956>.

29 Else <1893> what <5101> shall they do < 4160> which are baptized <907> for the dead <3498>, if < 1487> the dead <3498> rise <1453> not at <3654> all <3654>? why <5101> are they then baptized <907> for the dead <3498>?

30 And why <5101> stand we in jeopardy <2793> every <3956> hour <5610>?

31 I protest <3513> by your <5212> rejoicing < 2746> which <3739> I have <2192> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our Lord <2962>, I die <599> daily < 2250>.

32 If <1487> after <2596> the manner of men < 444> I have fought <2341> with beasts <2341> at <1722> Ephesus <2181>, what <5101> advantageth <3786> it me, if <1487> the dead <3498> rise <1453> not? let us eat <5315> and drink <4095>; for to morrow <839> we die < 599>.

33 Be not deceived <4105>: evil <2556> communications <3657> corrupt <5351> good <5543> manners <2239>.

34 Awake <1594> to righteousness <1346>, and sin <264> not; for some <5100> have <2192> not the knowledge <56> of God <2316>: I speak <3004> [this] to your < 5213> shame <1791>.

35. But some <5100> [man] will say <2046>, How < 4459> are the dead <3498> raised <1453> up? and with what <4169> body <4983> do they come <2064>?

36 [Thou] fool <878>, that which <3739> thou sowest <4687> is not quickened <2227>, except <3362> it die < 599>:

37 And that which <3739> thou sowest <4687>, thou sowest <4687> not that body <4983> that shall be, but bare < 1131> grain <2848>, it may chance <5177> of wheat < 4621>, or <2228> of some <5100> other <3062> [grain]:

38 But God <2316> giveth <1325> it a body < 4983> as it hath pleased <2309> him, and to every <1538> seed <4690> his own <2398> body <4983>.

39 All <4561> flesh <4561> [is] not the same < 846> flesh <4561>: but [there is] one <243> [kind of] flesh <4561> of men <444>, another <243> flesh <4561> of beasts <2934>, another <243> of fishes <2486>, [and] another <243> of birds <4421>.

40 [There are] also <2532> celestial <2032> bodies <4983>, and bodies <4983> terrestrial <1919>: but the glory <1391> of the celestial <2032> [is] one <2087>, and the [glory <1391>] of the terrestrial <1919> [is] another <2087>.

41 [There is] one <243> glory <1391> of the sun < 2246>, and another <243> glory <1391> of the moon < 4582>, and another <243> glory <1391> of the stars < 792>: for [one] star <792> differeth <1308> from [another] star <792> in glory <1391>.

42 So <3779> also <2532> [is] the resurrection < 386> of the dead <3498>. It is sown <4687> in corruption <5356>; it is raised <1453> in incorruption <861>:

43 It is sown <4687> in dishonour <819>; it is raised <1453> in glory <1391>: it is sown <4687> in weakness <769>; it is raised <1453> in power <1411>:

44 It is sown <4687> a natural <5591> body < 4983>; it is raised <1453> a spiritual <4152> body < 4983>. There is a natural <5591> body <4983>, and there is a spiritual <4152> body <4983>.

45 And so <3779> it is written <1125>, The first <4413> man <444> Adam <76> was made <1096> a living <2198> soul <5590>; the last <2078> Adam < 76> [was made] a quickening <2227> spirit <4151>.

46 Howbeit <235> that [was] not first <4412> which is spiritual <4152>, but that which is natural <5591>; and afterward <1899> that which is spiritual <4152>.

47 The first <4413> man <444> [is] of the earth < 1093>, earthy <5517>: the second <1208> man <444> [is] the Lord <2962> from heaven <3772>.

48 As [is] the earthy <5517>, such <5108> [are] they also <2532> that are earthy <5517>: and as [is] the heavenly <2032>, such <5108> [are] they also <2532> that are heavenly <2032>.

49 And as we have borne <5409> the image <1504> of the earthy <5517>, we shall also <2532> bear <5409> the image of the heavenly <2032>.

50 Now <1161> this <5124> I say <5346>, brethren <80>, that flesh <4561> and blood <129> cannot <1410> inherit <2816> the kingdom <932> of God < 2316>; neither <3761> doth corruption <5356> inherit < 2816> incorruption <861>.

51. Behold <2400>, I shew <3004> you a mystery < 3466>; We shall not all <3956> sleep <2837>, but we shall all <3956> be changed <236>,

52 In a moment <823>, in the twinkling <4493> of an eye <3788>, at <1722> the last <2078> trump <4536>: for the trumpet shall sound <4537>, and the dead <3498> shall be raised <1453> incorruptible <862>, and we shall be changed <236>.

53 For this <5124> corruptible <5349> must < 1163> put <1746> on <1746> incorruption <861>, and this <5124> mortal <2349> [must] put <1746> on < 1746> immortality <110>.

54 So <1161> when <3752> this <5124> corruptible <5349> shall have put <1746> on <1746> incorruption <861>, and this <5124> mortal <2349> shall have put <1746> on <1746> immortality <110>, then < 5119> shall be brought <1096> to pass the saying <3056> that is written <1125>, Death <2288> is swallowed <2666> up in victory <3534>.

55 O death <2288>, where <4226> [is] thy sting < 2759>? O grave <86>, where <4226> [is] thy victory < 3534>?

56 The sting <2759> of death <2288> [is] sin < 266>; and the strength <1411> of sin <266> [is] the law < 3551>.

57 But thanks <5485> [be] to God <2316>, which < 3588> giveth <1325> us the victory <3534> through < 1223> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.

58. Therefore <5620>, my beloved <27> brethren < 80>, be ye stedfast <1476>, unmoveable <277>, always < 3842> abounding <4052> in the work <2041> of the Lord < 2962>, forasmuch as ye know <1492> that your <5216> labour <2873> is not in vain <2756> in the Lord <2962>.

1Corinthians 16

1. Now <1161> concerning <4012> the collection < 3048> for the saints <40>, as I have given order <1299> to the churches <1577> of Galatia <1053>, even <2532> so <3779> do <4160> ye.

2 Upon the first <3391> [day] of the week <4521> let every <1538> one of you lay <5087> by him in store < 2343>, as [God] hath prospered <2137> him, that there be no < 3361> gatherings <3048> when <3752> I come <2064>.

3 And when <3752> I come <3854>, whomsoever < 1437> ye shall approve <1381> by [your] letters <1992>, them will I send <3992> to bring <667> your <5216> liberality <5485> unto Jerusalem <2419>.

4 And if <1437> it be meet <514> that I go < 4198> also <2504>, they shall go <4198> with me.

5. Now <1161> I will come <2064> unto you, when < 3752> I shall pass <1330> through <1330> Macedonia < 3109>: for I do pass <1330> through <1330> Macedonia < 3109>.

6 And it may be that I will abide <3887>, yea <2228> , and winter <3914> with you, that ye may bring <4311> me on my journey whithersoever <1437> I go <4198>.

7 For I will <2309> not see <1492> you now < 737> by the way <3938>; but I trust <1679> to tarry < 1961> a while <5099> with you, if <1437> the Lord < 2962> permit <2010>.

8 But I will tarry <1961> at <1722> Ephesus < 2181> until <2193> Pentecost <4005>.

9 For a great <3173> door <2374> and effectual < 1756> is opened <455> unto me, and [there are] many <4183> adversaries <480>.

10. Now <1161> if <1437> Timotheus <5095> come <2064>, see <991> that he may be with you without <870> fear <870>: for he worketh <2038> the work <2041> of the Lord <2962>, as I also <2532> [do].

11 Let no <3361> man <5100> therefore <3767> despise <1848> him: but conduct <4311> him forth <4311> in peace <1515>, that he may come <2064> unto me: for I look <1551> for him with the brethren <80>.

12 As touching <4012> [our] brother <80> Apollos <625>, I greatly <4183> desired <3870> him to come < 2064> unto you with the brethren <80>: but his will <2307> was not at <3843> all <3843> to come <2064> at < 3568> this <3568> time <3598>; but he will come <2064> when <3752> he shall have convenient <2119> time <2119>.

13. Watch <1127> ye, stand <4739> fast in the faith <4102>, quit <407> you like <407> men <407>, be strong <2901>.

14 Let all <3956> your <5216> things be done < 1096> with charity <26>.

15 I beseech <3870> you, brethren <80>, (ye know <1492> the house <3614> of Stephanas <4734>, that it is the firstfruits <536> of Achaia <882>, and [that] they have addicted <5021> themselves <1438> to the ministry <1248> of the saints <40>,)

16 That ye submit <5293> yourselves unto such <5108> , and to every <3956> one that helpeth <4903> with [us], and laboureth <2872>.

17 I am glad <5463> of the coming <3952> of Stephanas <4734> and Fortunatus <5415> and Achaicus <883> : for that which was lacking <5303> on your <5216> part they have supplied <378>.

18 For they have refreshed <373> my spirit <4151> and yours <5216>: therefore <3767> acknowledge <1921> ye them that are such <5108>.

19. The churches <1577> of Asia <773> salute < 782> you. Aquila <207> and Priscilla <4252> salute < 782> you much <4183> in the Lord <2962>, with the church <1577> that is in their house <3624>.

20 All <3956> the brethren <80> greet <782> you. Greet <782> ye one <240> another <240> with an holy <40> kiss <5370>.

21 The salutation <783> of [me] Paul <3972> with mine <1699> own <1699> hand <5495>.

22 If <1487> any <1536> man love <5368> not the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, let him be Anathema <331> Maranatha <3134>.

23 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547> [be] with you.

24 My love <26> [be] with you all <3956> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. Amen <281>.
