1:1 Paul called to be an "tle of Jesus Christ through the her,
1:2 Unto the church of God heir"s and our"s:
1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:4 I thank my God al;
1:5 That ihing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was firmed in you:
1:7 So that yee behind in no gift; :
1:8 Who shall also firm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:9 God is faithful, byour Lord.
1:10 No.
1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them ions among you.
1:12 No.
1:13 Is Christ divided? he name of Paul?
1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I knoher.
1:17 For Christ se to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not .
1:18 For the preag of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us he power of God.
1:19 For it is .
1:20 Where is the his world?
1:21 For after that in thebelieve.
1:22 For the Jeer wisdom:
1:23 But he Greeks foolishness;
1:24 But unto them he wisdom of God.
1:25 Because the foolishness of God is han men.
1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, ho many noble, are called:
1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the y;
1:28 And base things of theare:
1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, ion:
1:31 That, acc as it is he Lord.
2:1 And I, brethren, imony of God.
2:2 For I determined not to kno, and him crucified.
2:3 And I rembling.
2:4 And my speed my preagand of power:
2:5 That your faith should not stand in the he power of God.
2:6 Ho:
2:7 But lory:
2:8 Whione of the princes of this he Lord of glory.
2:9 But as it islove him.
2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
2:11 Fod.
2:12 Noo us of God.
2:13 Which things also ual.
2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: herhe knoually dised.
2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
2:16 For .
3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto al, even as unto babes in Christ.
3:2 I have fed younow are ye able.
3:3 For ye are yet al: foral, and walk as men?
3:4 Foral?
3:5 Who then is Paul, and o every man?
3:6 I have planted, Apollos he increase.
3:7 So theher is he that plah any thing, her he that he increase.
3:8 Noo his own labour.
3:9 Fod: ye are God"s husbandry, ye are God"s building.
3:10 Acc to the grace of God hereupon.
3:11 For other foundation o man lay than that is laid, .
3:12 Noubble;
3:13 Every man"sis.
3:14 If any man"s hereupon, he shall receive a reward.
3:15 If any man"sso as by fire.
3:16 Knoh in you?
3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, emple ye are.
3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to behe may be wise.
3:19 For the iness.
3:20 And again, The Lord knohey are vain.
3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your"s;
3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the oe; all are your"s;
3:23 And ye are Christ"s; and Christ is God"s.
4:1 Let a man so at of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and steeries of God.
4:2 Moreover it is required in stehful.
4:3 Butmine own self.
4:4 For I knohe Lord.
4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lorde, hen shall every man have praise of God.
4:6 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 her.
4:7 For ?
4:8 Noh you.
4:9 For I think that God hath set forth us the "tles last, as it o men.
4:10 We are fools for Christ"s sake, but ye arewe are despised.
4:11 Even unto this present hour ain dwellingplace;
4:12 And labour, :
4:13 Being defamed, his day.
4:14 Ias my beloved sons I warn you.
4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
4:17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, each every where in every church.
4:18 Noo you.
4:19 But I he power.
4:20 For the kingdom of God is not inin power.
4:21 Whatof meekness?
5:1 It is reportedmonly that there is forniong you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gehat one should have his father"s wife.
5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourhat he that hath dohis deed might be taken away from among you.
5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I his deed,
5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ,
5:5 To deliver su oo Satan for the destru of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
5:6 Yl is not good. Knohe whole lump?
5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a ne our passover is sacrificed for us:
5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not h.
5:9 I ors:
5:10 Yet not altogether he world.
5:11 But no.
5:12 For hin?
5:13 But them that arewicked person.
6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against ano to las?
6:2 Do ye not knoers?
6:3 Knohis life?
6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge he church.
6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a hren?
6:6 But broeth to lahe unbelievers.
6:7 Noo be defrauded?
6:8 Nay, ye do hren.
6:9 Knoh mankind,
6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, ortioners, shall i the kingdom of God.
6:11 And suchof od.
6:12 All things are lahe power of any.
6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Nohe body.
6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
6:15 Kno? God forbid.
6:16 What? knoh he, shall be one flesh.
6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a mah ishis own body.
6:19 What? kno your own?
6:20 For ye are bought , which are God"s.
7:1 Noouch a woman.
7:2 heless, to avoid fornicatio every man have his o every woman have her own husband.
7:3 Let the husband render unto the he husband.
7:4 The he wife.
7:5 Defraud ye not ohe other, except it be inency.
7:6 But I speak this by permission, and not ofma.
7:7 For I .
7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and hey abide even as I.
7:9 But if they ot taihem marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
7:10 And unto the married Imand, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not thefrom her husband:
7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reciled to her husband: a not the husband put away his wife.
7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath aher away.
7:13 And theleave him.
7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the hey holy.
7:15 But if the unbelievi, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
7:16 For hy wife?
7:17 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.
7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not be uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcisio him not be circumcised.
7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of themas of God.
7:20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
7:21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
7:22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord"s freeman: like.
7:23 Ye are bought s of men.
7:24 Brethre every man, h God.
7:25 Nohful.
7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
7:27 Art thou bound unto aa wife.
7:28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. heless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
7:29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remah, that both they that have hey had none;
7:30 And they that ;
7:31 And they that use this h away.
7:32 But I he Lord:
7:33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
7:34 There is difference also been a he world, how she may please her husband.
7:35 And this I speak for your oion.
7:36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uely tohem marry.
7:37 heless he that stah stedfast in his heart, having no y, but hath poh well.
7:38 So thehat giveth her in marriage doeth er.
7:39 The he Lord.
7:40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
8:1 Noh.
8:2 And if any man think that he knoo know.
8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
8:4 As ing therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifito idols,one.
8:5 For though there be that are called gods, here be gods many, and lords many,)
8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of hings, and we by him.
8:7 Hoheir sce being weak is defiled.
8:8 But meatmeh us not to God: for her, if he worse.
8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your"s be a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
8:10 For if any mahee o idols;
8:11 And through thy kno died?
8:12 But .
8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I o offend.
9:1 Am I not an "tle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my he Lord?
9:2 If I be not an "tle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine "tleship are ye in the Lord.
9:3 Mine anshis,
9:4 Have o drink?
9:5 Have he Lord, and Cephas?
9:6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not o forbear w?
9:7 Who goeth a he flock?
9:8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the lahe same also?
9:9 For it is ake care for oxen?
9:10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is aker of his hope.
9:11 If hings?
9:12 If others be partakers of this po.
9:13 Do ye not knoar?
9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordaihat they he gospel.
9:15 But I have used none of these things: her have Iany man should make my gl void.
9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for y is laid upon me; yea, he gospel!
9:17 For if I do this thing o me.
9:18 What is my rehe gospel.
9:19 For though I be free from all me have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
9:20 And unto the Jehe law;
9:21 To them that arelaw.
9:22 To theby all means save some.
9:23 And this I do for the gospel"s sake, that I might be partaker thereof h you.
9:24 Knoain.
9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Noible.
9:26 I therefore so run, not as uainly; so fight I, not as ohat beateth the air:
9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subje: lest that by any means, away.
10:1 Moreover, brethren, I he sea;
10:2 And he sea;
10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that follo.
10:5 But he wilderness.
10:6 Noed.
10:7 her be ye idolaters, as o play.
10:8 her let usmit fornication, as some of themmitted, and fell in one day three ay thousand.
10:9 her let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and s.
10:10 her murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and royer.
10:11 Nohe world aree.
10:12 Wherefore let him that thih he staake heed lest he fall.
10:13 There hath ation taken you but such as ismon to man: but God is faithful, .
10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
10:15 I speak as toI say.
10:16 The cup of blessing ?
10:17 Forone bread.
10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they ar?
10:19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that hing?
10:20 But I say, that the things h devils.
10:21 Ye ot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye ot be partakers of the Lord"s table, and of the table of devils.
10:22 Do han he?
10:23 All things are la.
10:24 Let no man seek his oh.
10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for sce sake:
10:26 For the earth is the Lord"s, and the fulhereof.
10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; ion for sce sake.
10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifito idols, eat not for his sake that shehereof:
10:29 sce, I say, not thine oher man"s sce?
10:30 For if I by grace be a partaker, hanks?
10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or he glory of God.
10:32 Give none offeneither to the Jehe church of God:
10:33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine ohey may be saved.
11:1 Be ye follo.
11:2 Noo you.
11:3 But Iis God.
11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishoh his head.
11:5 But everyis even all one as if she were shaven.
11:6 For if theher be covered.
11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the he man.
11:8 For the man is not of the he man.
11:9 her he man.
11:10 For this cause ought the he angels.
11:11 heless her is the man he Lord.
11:12 For as the hings of God.
11:13 Judge in yourselves: is itely that a o God uncovered?
11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
11:15 But if a o her: for her hair is given her for a c.
11:16 But if any mao be tentious, he churches of God.
11:17 Nohe worse.
11:18 For first of all, .
11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that theyamong you.
11:20 Wheogether therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord"s supper.
11:21 For iing every oaketh before other his oher is drunken.
11:22 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.
11:23 For I have received of the Lord that ook bread:
11:24 And his do in remembrane.
11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, , in remembrane.
11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do sheill hee.
11:27 Wherefore he Lord.
11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
11:29 For he that eateth and drih unhe Lord"s body.
11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
11:31 For ifbe judged.
11:32 But he world.
11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, her.
11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that yee not together unto nation. And the restin order when Ie.
12:1 No.
12:2 Ye knohese dumb idols, even as ye were led.
12:3 Wherefore I give you to uand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no mansay that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
12:4 No.
12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God h all in all.
12:7 But the maion of the Spirit is given to every man to profit hal.
12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the ;
12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to ahe gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
12:10 To ahe ongues:
12:11 But all these o every man severally as he will.
12:12 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.
12:13 For by one Spirit are .
12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
12:16 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?
12:17 If the he smelling?
12:18 But noh pleased him.
12:19 And if they he body?
12:20 But no one body.
12:21 And the eye ot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nain the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, o be more feeble, are necessary:
12:23 And those members of the body, eliness.
12:24 For ourely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
12:26 And .
12:27 Noicular.
12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first "tles, sedarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, govers, diversities of tongues.
12:29 Are all "tles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak ?
12:31 But covet early the best gifts: a she way.
13:1 Though I speak inkling cymbal.
13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and uand all mysteries, and all knohing.
13:3 And though I bestohing.
13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity eh not; charity vauh not itself, is not puffed up,
13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her oh no evil;
13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth iruth;
13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, eh all things.
13:8 Charity never faileth: butshall vanish away.
13:9 For .
13:10 Butshall be done away.
13:11 When I hings.
13:12 For nohen shall I know even as also I am known.
13:13 And noy.
14:1 Follo ye may prophesy.
14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknoeries.
14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, andfort.
14:4 He that speaketh in an unknohe church.
14:5 I he church may receive edifying.
14:6 Norine?
14:7 And even thingsis piped or harped?
14:8 For if the trumpet give an uain sound, le?
14:9 So likehe air.
14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the ion.
14:11 Therefore if I knoo me.
14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unkno.
14:14 For if I pray in an unknoful.
14:15 What is it then? I anding also.
14:16 Else ?
14:17 For thou verily givest thanksedified.
14:18 I thank my God, I speak han ye all:
14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five ongue.
14:20 Brethre children in uanding: hoanding be men.
14:21 In the lahe Lord.
14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesyih not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
14:23 If therefore theye are mad?
14:24 But if all prophesy, and theree ihat believeth not, or one unlearned, he is vinced of all, he is judged of all:
14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made ma; and so falling doh.
14:26 Hoo edifying.
14:27 If any man speak in an unkno.
14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silen the church; a him speak to himself, and to God.
14:29 Let the prophets speako or three, ahe other judge.
14:30 If any thing be revealed to ahat sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by ohat all may learn, and all may beforted.
14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
14:33 Fod is not the author of fusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
14:34 Let your he law.
14:35 And if they he church.
14:36 What? came the o you only?
14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him aohe Lord.
14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak ongues.
14:40 Let all things be doly and in order.
15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel and;
15:2 By o you, unless ye have believed in vain.
15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that ures;
15:4 And that he ures:
15:5 And that he heelve:
15:6 After that, hesome are fallen asleep.
15:7 After that, he les.
15:8 And last of all he ime.
15:9 For I am the least of the "tles, that am not meet to be called an "tle, because I persecuted the church of God.
15:10 But by the grace of God I am h me.
15:11 Therefore hey, so we preach, and so ye believed.
15:12 Nohe dead?
15:13 But if there be no resurre of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preag vain, and your faith is also vain.
15:15 Yea, and .
15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
15:18 Then they alsoare perished.
15:19 If in this life onlymiserable.
15:20 But no.
15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurre of the dead.
15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
15:23 But every man in his o hising.
15:24 Thehe end, y and power.
15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
15:26 The last ehat shall be destroyed is death.
15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But hings under him.
15:28 AndGod may be all in all.
15:29 Else he dead?
15:30 And and we in jeopardy every hour?
15:31 I protest by your rejoigJesus our Lord, I die daily.
15:32 If after the manner of men I have fought o morrow we die.
15:33 Be not deceived: evilmunications corrupt good manners.
15:34 Ao your shame.
15:35 But some man heye?
15:36 Thou fool, thatdie:
15:37 And that her grain:
15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
15:39 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.
15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and anlory of the moon, and anlory of the stars: for oar differeth from aar in glory.
15:42 So also is the resurre of the dead. It is soion:
15:43 It is so is raised in power:
15:44 It is soual body.
15:45 And so it is .
15:46 Houal.
15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the sean is the Lord from heaven.
15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
15:49 And as he heavenly.
15:50 Noion.
