/1-1- PAUL
CALLED TO BE AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH THE WILL OF GOD
AND SOSTHENES OUR BROTHER
/1-2- UNTO THE CHURCH OF GOD WHICH IS AT CORINTH
TO THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED IN CHRIST JESUS
CALLED TO BE SAINTS
WITH ALL THAT IN EVERY PLACE CALL UPON THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD
BOTH THEIRS AND OURS-
/1-3- GRACE BE UNTO YOU
AND PEACE
FROM GOD OUR FATHER
AND FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
/1-4- I THANK MY GOD ALWAYS ON YOUR BEHALF
FOR THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN YOU BY JESUS CHRIST
/1-5- THAT IN EVERY THING YE ARE ENRICHED BY HIM
IN ALL UTTERANCE
AND IN ALL KNOWLEDGE
/1-6- EVEN AS THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST WAS CONFIRMED IN YOU-
/1-7- SO THAT YE COME BEHIND IN NO GIFT WAITING FOR THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST-
/1-8- WHO SHALL ALSO CONFIRM YOU UNTO THE END
THAT YE MAY BE BLAMELESS IN THE DAY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
/1-9- GOD IS FAITHFUL
BY WHOM YE WERE CALLED UNTO THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
/1-10- NOW I BESEECH YOU
BRETHREN
BY THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
THAT YE ALL SPEAK THE SAME THING
AND THAT THERE BE NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU BUT THAT YE BE PERFECTLY JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND AND IN THE SAME JUDGMENT.
/1-11- FOR IT HATH BEEN DECLARED UNTO ME OF YOU
MY BRETHREN
BY THEM WHICH ARE OF THE HOUSE OF CHLOE
THAT THERE ARE CONTENTIONS AMONG YOU.
/1-12- NOW THIS I SAY
THAT EVERY ONE OF YOU SAITH
I AM OF PAUL AND I OF APOLLOS AND I OF CEPHAS AND I OF CHRIST.
/1-13- IS CHRIST DIVIDED? WAS PAUL CRUCIFIED FOR YOU? OR WERE YE BAPTIZED IN THE 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 KNOW NOT WHETHER I BAPTIZED ANY OTHER.
/1-17- FOR CHRIST SENT ME NOT TO BAPTIZE
BUT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL- NOT WITH WISDOM OF WORDS
LEST THE CROSS OF CHRIST SHOULD BE MADE OF NONE EFFECT.
/1-18- FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS IS TO THEM THAT PERISH FOOLISHNESS BUT UNTO US WHICH ARE SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD.
/1-19- FOR IT IS WRITTEN
I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE
AND WILL BRING TO NOTHING THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRUDENT.
/1-20- WHERE IS THE WISE? WHERE IS THE SCRIBE? WHERE IS THE DISPUTER OF THIS WORLD? HATH NOT GOD MADE FOOLISH THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD?
/1-21- FOR AFTER THAT IN THE WISDOM OF GOD THE WORLD BY WISDOM KNEW NOT GOD
IT PLEASED GOD BY THE FOOLISHNESS OF PREACHING TO SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE.
/1-22- FOR THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN
AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM-
/1-23- BUT WE PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED
UNTO THE JEWS A STUMBLINGBLOCK
AND UNTO THE GREEKS FOOLISHNESS
/1-24- BUT UNTO THEM WHICH ARE CALLED
BOTH JEWS AND GREEKS
CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD
AND THE WISDOM OF GOD.
/1-25- BECAUSE THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD IS WISER THAN MEN AND THE WEAKNESS OF GOD IS STRONGER THAN MEN.
/1-26- FOR YE SEE YOUR CALLING
BRETHREN
HOW THAT NOT MANY WISE MEN AFTER THE FLESH
NOT MANY MIGHTY
NOT MANY NOBLE
ARE CALLED-
/1-27- BUT GOD HATH CHOSEN THE FOOLISH THINGS OF THE WORLD TO CONFOUND THE WISE AND GOD HATH CHOSEN THE WEAK THINGS OF THE WORLD TO CONFOUND THE THINGS WHICH ARE MIGHTY
/1-28- AND BASE THINGS OF THE WORLD
AND THINGS WHICH ARE DESPISED
HATH GOD CHOSEN
YEA
AND THINGS WHICH ARE NOT
TO BRING TO NOUGHT THINGS THAT ARE-
/1-29- THAT NO FLESH SHOULD GLORY IN HIS PRESENCE.
/1-30- BUT OF HIM ARE YE IN CHRIST JESUS
WHO OF GOD IS MADE UNTO US WISDOM
AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND SANCTIFICATION
AND REDEMPTION-
/1-31- THAT
ACCORDING AS IT IS WRITTEN
HE THAT GLORIETH
LET HIM GLORY IN THE LORD.
/2-1- AND I
BRETHREN
WHEN I CAME TO YOU
CAME NOT WITH EXCELLENCY OF SPEECH OR OF WISDOM
DECLARING UNTO YOU THE TESTIMONY OF GOD.
/2-2- FOR I DETERMINED NOT TO KNOW ANY THING AMONG YOU
SAVE JESUS CHRIST
AND HIM CRUCIFIED.
/2-3- AND I WAS WITH YOU IN WEAKNESS
AND IN FEAR
AND IN MUCH TREMBLING.
/2-4- AND MY SPEECH AND MY PREACHING WAS NOT WITH ENTICING WORDS OF MAN'S WISDOM
BUT IN DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND OF POWER-
/2-5- THAT YOUR FAITH SHOULD NOT STAND IN THE WISDOM OF MEN
BUT IN THE POWER OF GOD.
/2-6- HOWBEIT WE SPEAK WISDOM AMONG THEM THAT ARE PERFECT- YET NOT THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD
NOR OF THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD
THAT COME TO NOUGHT-
/2-7- BUT WE SPEAK THE WISDOM OF GOD IN A MYSTERY
EVEN THE HIDDEN WISDOM
WHICH GOD ORDAINED BEFORE THE WORLD UNTO OUR GLORY-
/2-8- WHICH NONE OF THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD KNEW- FOR HAD THEY KNOWN IT
THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY.
/2-9- BUT AS IT IS WRITTEN
EYE HATH NOT SEEN
NOR EAR HEARD
NEITHER HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN
THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM.
/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- FOR WHAT MAN KNOWETH THE THINGS OF A MAN
SAVE THE SPIRIT OF MAN WHICH IS IN HIM? EVEN SO THE THINGS OF GOD KNOWETH NO MAN
BUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
/2-12- NOW WE HAVE RECEIVED
NOT THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD
BUT THE SPIRIT WHICH IS OF GOD THAT WE MIGHT KNOW THE THINGS THAT ARE FREELY GIVEN TO US OF GOD.
/2-13- WHICH THINGS ALSO WE SPEAK
NOT IN THE WORDS WHICH MAN'S WISDOM TEACHETH
BUT WHICH THE HOLY GHOST TEACHETH COMPARING SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL.
/2-14- BUT THE NATURAL MAN RECEIVETH NOT THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD- FOR THEY ARE FOOLISHNESS UNTO HIM- NEITHER CAN HE KNOW THEM
BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED.
/2-15- BUT HE THAT IS SPIRITUAL JUDGETH ALL THINGS
YET HE HIMSELF IS JUDGED OF NO MAN.
/2-16- FOR WHO HATH KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD
THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.
/3-1- AND I
BRETHREN
COULD NOT SPEAK UNTO YOU AS UNTO SPIRITUAL
BUT AS UNTO CARNAL
EVEN AS UNTO BABES IN CHRIST.
/3-2- I HAVE FED YOU WITH MILK
AND NOT WITH MEAT- FOR HITHERTO YE WERE NOT ABLE TO BEAR IT
NEITHER YET NOW ARE YE ABLE.
/3-3- FOR YE ARE YET CARNAL- FOR WHEREAS THERE IS AMONG YOU ENVYING
AND STRIFE
AND DIVISIONS
ARE YE NOT CARNAL
AND WALK AS MEN?
/3-4- FOR WHILE ONE SAITH
I AM OF PAUL AND ANOTHER
I AM OF APOLLOS ARE YE NOT CARNAL?
/3-5- WHO THEN IS PAUL
AND WHO IS APOLLOS
BUT MINISTERS BY WHOM YE BELIEVED
EVEN AS THE LORD GAVE TO EVERY MAN?
/3-6- I HAVE PLANTED
APOLLOS WATERED BUT GOD GAVE THE INCREASE.
/3-7- SO THEN NEITHER IS HE THAT PLANTETH ANY THING
NEITHER HE THAT WATERETH BUT GOD THAT GIVETH THE INCREASE.
/3-8- NOW HE THAT PLANTETH AND HE THAT WATERETH ARE ONE- AND EVERY MAN SHALL RECEIVE HIS OWN REWARD ACCORDING TO HIS OWN LABOUR.
/3-9- FOR WE ARE LABOURERS TOGETHER WITH GOD- YE ARE GOD'S HUSBANDRY
YE ARE GOD'S BUILDING.
/3-10- ACCORDING TO THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO ME
AS A WISE MASTERBUILDER
I HAVE LAID THE FOUNDATION
AND ANOTHER BUILDETH THEREON. BUT LET EVERY MAN TAKE HEED HOW HE BUILDETH THEREUPON.
/3-11- FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID
WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST.
/3-12- NOW IF ANY MAN BUILD UPON THIS FOUNDATION GOLD
SILVER
PRECIOUS STONES
WOOD
HAY
STUBBLE
/3-13- EVERY MAN'S WORK SHALL BE MADE MANIFEST- FOR THE DAY SHALL DECLARE IT
BECAUSE IT SHALL BE REVEALED BY FIRE AND THE FIRE SHALL TRY EVERY MAN'S WORK OF WHAT SORT IT IS.
/3-14- IF ANY MAN'S WORK ABIDE WHICH HE HATH BUILT THEREUPON
HE SHALL RECEIVE A REWARD.
/3-15- IF ANY MAN'S WORK SHALL BE BURNED
HE SHALL SUFFER LOSS- BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED YET SO AS BY FIRE.
/3-16- KNOW YE NOT THAT YE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD
AND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN YOU?
/3-17- IF ANY MAN DEFILE THE TEMPLE OF GOD
HIM SHALL GOD DESTROY FOR THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY
WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE.
/3-18- LET NO MAN DECEIVE HIMSELF. IF ANY MAN AMONG YOU SEEMETH TO BE WISE IN THIS WORLD
LET HIM BECOME A FOOL
THAT HE MAY BE WISE.
/3-19- FOR THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD. FOR IT IS WRITTEN
HE TAKETH THE WISE IN THEIR OWN CRAFTINESS.
/3-20- AND AGAIN
THE LORD KNOWETH THE THOUGHTS OF THE WISE
THAT THEY ARE VAIN.
/3-21- THEREFORE LET NO MAN GLORY IN MEN. FOR ALL THINGS ARE YOURS
/3-22- WHETHER PAUL
OR APOLLOS
OR CEPHAS
OR THE WORLD
OR LIFE
OR DEATH
OR THINGS PRESENT
OR THINGS TO COME ALL ARE YOURS
/3-23- AND YE ARE CHRIST'S AND CHRIST IS GOD'S.
/4-1- LET A MAN SO ACCOUNT OF US
AS OF THE MINISTERS OF CHRIST
AND STEWARDS OF THE MYSTERIES OF GOD.
/4-2- MOREOVER IT IS REQUIRED IN STEWARDS
THAT A MAN BE FOUND FAITHFUL.
/4-3- BUT WITH ME IT IS A VERY SMALL THING THAT I SHOULD BE JUDGED OF YOU
OR OF MAN'S JUDGMENT- YEA
I JUDGE NOT MINE OWN SELF.
/4-4- FOR I KNOW NOTHING BY MYSELF YET AM I NOT HEREBY JUSTIFIED- BUT HE THAT JUDGETH ME IS THE LORD.
/4-5- THEREFORE JUDGE NOTHING BEFORE THE TIME
UNTIL THE LORD COME
WHO BOTH WILL BRING TO LIGHT THE HIDDEN THINGS OF DARKNESS
AND WILL MAKE MANIFEST THE COUNSELS OF THE HEARTS- AND THEN SHALL EVERY MAN HAVE PRAISE OF GOD.
/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 WHICH IS WRITTEN
THAT NO ONE OF YOU BE PUFFED UP FOR ONE AGAINST ANOTHER.
/4-7- FOR WHO MAKETH THEE TO DIFFER FROM ANOTHER? AND WHAT HAST THOU THAT THOU DIDST NOT RECEIVE? NOW IF THOU DIDST RECEIVE IT
WHY DOST THOU GLORY
AS IF THOU HADST NOT RECEIVED IT?
/4-8- NOW YE ARE FULL
NOW YE ARE RICH
YE HAVE REIGNED AS KINGS WITHOUT US- AND I WOULD TO GOD YE DID REIGN
THAT WE ALSO MIGHT REIGN WITH YOU.
/4-9- FOR I THINK THAT GOD HATH SET FORTH US THE APOSTLES LAST
AS IT WERE APPOINTED TO DEATH- FOR WE ARE MADE A SPECTACLE UNTO THE WORLD
AND TO ANGELS
AND TO MEN.
/4-10- WE ARE FOOLS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE
BUT YE ARE WISE IN CHRIST WE ARE WEAK
BUT YE ARE STRONG YE ARE HONOURABLE
BUT WE ARE DESPISED.
/4-11- EVEN UNTO THIS PRESENT HOUR WE BOTH HUNGER
AND THIRST
AND ARE NAKED
AND ARE BUFFETED
AND HAVE NO CERTAIN DWELLINGPLACE
/4-12- AND LABOUR
WORKING WITH OUR OWN HANDS- BEING REVILED
WE BLESS BEING PERSECUTED
WE SUFFER IT-
/4-13- BEING DEFAMED
WE INTREAT- WE ARE MADE AS THE FILTH OF THE WORLD
AND ARE THE OFFSCOURING OF ALL THINGS UNTO THIS DAY.
/4-14- I WRITE NOT THESE THINGS TO SHAME YOU
BUT AS MY BELOVED SONS I WARN YOU.
/4-15- FOR THOUGH YE HAVE TEN THOUSAND INSTRUCTORS IN CHRIST
YET HAVE YE NOT MANY FATHERS- FOR IN CHRIST JESUS I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU THROUGH THE GOSPEL.
/4-16- WHEREFORE I BESEECH YOU
BE YE FOLLOWERS OF ME.
/4-17- FOR THIS CAUSE HAVE I SENT UNTO YOU TIMOTHEUS
WHO IS MY BELOVED SON
AND FAITHFUL IN THE LORD
WHO SHALL BRING YOU INTO REMEMBRANCE OF MY WAYS WHICH BE IN CHRIST
AS I TEACH EVERY WHERE IN EVERY CHURCH.
/4-18- NOW SOME ARE PUFFED UP
AS THOUGH I WOULD NOT COME TO YOU.
/4-19- BUT I WILL COME TO YOU SHORTLY
IF THE LORD WILL
AND WILL KNOW
NOT THE SPEECH OF THEM WHICH ARE PUFFED UP
BUT THE POWER.
/4-20- FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT IN WORD
BUT IN POWER.
/4-21- WHAT WILL YE? SHALL I COME UNTO YOU WITH A ROD
OR IN LOVE
AND IN THE SPIRIT OF MEEKNESS?
/5-1- IT IS REPORTED COMMONLY THAT THERE IS FORNICATION AMONG YOU
AND SUCH FORNICATION AS IS NOT SO MUCH AS NAMED AMONG THE GENTILES
THAT ONE SHOULD HAVE HIS FATHER'S WIFE.
/5-2- AND YE ARE PUFFED UP
AND HAVE NOT RATHER MOURNED
THAT HE THAT HATH DONE THIS 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 WERE PRESENT
CONCERNING HIM THAT HATH SO DONE THIS DEED
/5-4- IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
WHEN YE ARE GATHERED TOGETHER
AND MY SPIRIT
WITH THE POWER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
/5-5- TO DELIVER SUCH AN ONE UNTO SATAN FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FLESH
THAT THE SPIRIT MAY BE SAVED IN THE DAY OF THE LORD JESUS.
/5-6- YOUR GLORYING IS NOT GOOD. KNOW YE NOT THAT A LITTLE LEAVEN LEAVENETH THE WHOLE LUMP?
/5-7- PURGE OUT THEREFORE THE OLD LEAVEN
THAT YE MAY BE A NEW LUMP
AS YE ARE UNLEAVENED. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US-
/5-8- THEREFORE LET US KEEP THE FEAST
NOT WITH OLD LEAVEN
NEITHER WITH THE LEAVEN OF MALICE AND WICKEDNESS BUT WITH THE UNLEAVENED BREAD OF SINCERITY AND TRUTH.
/5-9- I WROTE UNTO YOU IN AN EPISTLE NOT TO COMPANY WITH FORNICATORS-
/5-10- YET NOT ALTOGETHER WITH THE FORNICATORS OF THIS WORLD
OR WITH THE COVETOUS
OR EXTORTIONERS
OR WITH IDOLATERS FOR THEN MUST YE NEEDS GO OUT OF THE WORLD.
/5-11- BUT NOW I HAVE WRITTEN UNTO YOU NOT TO KEEP COMPANY
IF ANY MAN THAT IS CALLED A BROTHER BE A FORNICATOR
OR COVETOUS
OR AN IDOLATER
OR A RAILER
OR A DRUNKARD
OR AN EXTORTIONER WITH SUCH AN ONE NO NOT TO EAT.
/5-12- FOR WHAT HAVE I TO DO TO JUDGE THEM ALSO THAT ARE WITHOUT? DO NOT YE JUDGE THEM THAT ARE WITHIN?
/5-13- BUT THEM THAT ARE WITHOUT GOD JUDGETH. THEREFORE PUT AWAY FROM AMONG YOURSELVES THAT WICKED PERSON.
/6-1- DARE ANY OF YOU
HAVING A MATTER AGAINST ANOTHER
GO TO LAW BEFORE THE UNJUST
AND NOT BEFORE THE SAINTS?
/6-2- DO YE NOT KNOW THAT THE SAINTS SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD? AND IF THE WORLD SHALL BE JUDGED BY YOU
ARE YE UNWORTHY TO JUDGE THE SMALLEST MATTERS?
/6-3- KNOW YE NOT THAT WE SHALL JUDGE ANGELS? HOW MUCH MORE THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO THIS LIFE?
/6-4- IF THEN YE HAVE JUDGMENTS OF THINGS PERTAINING TO THIS LIFE
SET THEM TO JUDGE WHO ARE LEAST ESTEEMED IN THE CHURCH.
/6-5- I SPEAK TO YOUR SHAME. IS IT SO
THAT THERE IS NOT A WISE MAN AMONG YOU? NO
NOT ONE THAT SHALL BE ABLE TO JUDGE BETWEEN HIS BRETHREN?
/6-6- BUT BROTHER GOETH TO LAW WITH BROTHER
AND THAT BEFORE THE UNBELIEVERS.
/6-7- NOW THEREFORE THERE IS UTTERLY A FAULT AMONG YOU
BECAUSE YE GO TO LAW ONE WITH ANOTHER. WHY DO YE NOT RATHER TAKE WRONG? WHY DO YE NOT RATHER SUFFER YOURSELVES TO BE DEFRAUDED?
/6-8- NAY
YE DO WRONG
AND DEFRAUD
AND THAT YOUR BRETHREN.
/6-9- KNOW YE NOT THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? BE NOT DECEIVED- NEITHER FORNICATORS
NOR IDOLATERS
NOR ADULTERERS
NOR EFFEMINATE
NOR ABUSERS OF THEMSELVES WITH MANKIND
/6-10- NOR THIEVES
NOR COVETOUS
NOR DRUNKARDS
NOR REVILERS
NOR EXTORTIONERS
SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
/6-11- AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU- BUT YE ARE WASHED
BUT YE ARE SANCTIFIED
BUT YE ARE JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS
AND BY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GOD.
/6-12- ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL UNTO ME
BUT ALL THINGS ARE NOT EXPEDIENT- ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME
BUT I WILL NOT BE BROUGHT UNDER THE POWER OF ANY.
/6-13- MEATS FOR THE BELLY
AND THE BELLY FOR MEATS- BUT GOD SHALL DESTROY BOTH IT AND THEM. NOW THE BODY IS NOT FOR FORNICATION
BUT FOR THE LORD AND THE LORD FOR THE BODY.
/6-14- AND GOD HATH BOTH RAISED UP THE LORD
AND WILL ALSO RAISE UP US BY HIS OWN POWER.
/6-15- KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODIES ARE THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST? SHALL I THEN TAKE THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST
AND MAKE THEM THE MEMBERS OF AN HARLOT? GOD FORBID.
/6-16- WHAT? KNOW YE NOT THAT HE WHICH IS JOINED TO AN HARLOT IS ONE BODY? FOR TWO
SAITH 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 MAN DOETH IS WITHOUT THE BODY BUT HE THAT COMMITTETH FORNICATION SINNETH AGAINST HIS OWN BODY.
/6-19- WHAT? KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS IN YOU
WHICH YE HAVE OF GOD
AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN?
/6-20- FOR YE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE- THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY
AND IN YOUR SPIRIT
WHICH ARE GOD'S.
/7-1- NOW CONCERNING THE THINGS WHEREOF YE WROTE UNTO ME- IT IS GOOD FOR A MAN NOT TO TOUCH A WOMAN.
/7-2- NEVERTHELESS
TO AVOID FORNICATION
LET EVERY MAN HAVE HIS OWN WIFE
AND LET EVERY WOMAN HAVE HER OWN HUSBAND.
/7-3- LET THE HUSBAND RENDER UNTO THE WIFE DUE BENEVOLENCE- AND LIKEWISE ALSO THE WIFE UNTO THE HUSBAND.
/7-4- THE WIFE HATH NOT POWER OF HER OWN BODY
BUT THE HUSBAND- AND LIKEWISE ALSO THE HUSBAND HATH NOT POWER OF HIS OWN BODY
BUT THE WIFE.
/7-5- DEFRAUD YE NOT ONE THE OTHER
EXCEPT IT BE WITH CONSENT FOR A TIME
THAT YE MAY GIVE YOURSELVES TO FASTING AND PRAYER AND COME TOGETHER AGAIN
THAT SATAN TEMPT YOU NOT FOR YOUR INCONTINENCY.
/7-6- BUT I SPEAK THIS BY PERMISSION
AND NOT OF COMMANDMENT.
/7-7- FOR I WOULD THAT ALL MEN WERE EVEN AS I MYSELF. BUT EVERY MAN HATH HIS PROPER GIFT OF GOD
ONE AFTER THIS MANNER
AND ANOTHER AFTER THAT.
/7-8- I SAY THEREFORE TO THE UNMARRIED AND WIDOWS
IT IS GOOD FOR THEM IF THEY ABIDE EVEN AS I.
/7-9- BUT IF THEY CANNOT CONTAIN
LET THEM MARRY- FOR IT IS BETTER TO MARRY THAN TO BURN.
/7-10- AND UNTO THE MARRIED I COMMAND
YET NOT I
BUT THE LORD
LET NOT THE WIFE DEPART FROM HER HUSBAND-
/7-11- BUT AND IF SHE DEPART
LET HER REMAIN UNMARRIED
OR BE RECONCILED TO HER HUSBAND- AND LET NOT THE HUSBAND PUT AWAY HIS WIFE.
/7-12- BUT TO THE REST SPEAK I
NOT THE LORD- IF ANY BROTHER HATH A WIFE THAT BELIEVETH NOT
AND SHE BE PLEASED TO DWELL WITH HIM
LET HIM NOT PUT HER AWAY.
/7-13- AND THE WOMAN WHICH HATH AN HUSBAND THAT BELIEVETH NOT
AND IF HE BE PLEASED TO DWELL WITH HER
LET HER NOT LEAVE HIM.
/7-14- FOR THE UNBELIEVING HUSBAND IS SANCTIFIED BY THE WIFE
AND THE UNBELIEVING WIFE IS SANCTIFIED BY THE HUSBAND- ELSE WERE YOUR CHILDREN UNCLEAN BUT NOW ARE THEY HOLY.
/7-15- BUT IF THE UNBELIEVING DEPART
LET HIM DEPART. A BROTHER OR A SISTER IS NOT UNDER BONDAGE IN SUCH CASES- BUT GOD HATH CALLED US TO PEACE.
/7-16- FOR WHAT KNOWEST THOU
O WIFE
WHETHER THOU SHALT SAVE THY HUSBAND? OR HOW KNOWEST THOU
O MAN
WHETHER THOU SHALT SAVE THY 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 BECOME UNCIRCUMCISED. IS ANY CALLED IN UNCIRCUMCISION? LET HIM NOT BE CIRCUMCISED.
/7-19- CIRCUMCISION IS NOTHING
AND UNCIRCUMCISION IS NOTHING
BUT THE KEEPING OF THE COMMANDMENTS 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- LIKEWISE ALSO HE THAT IS CALLED
BEING FREE
IS CHRIST'S SERVANT.
/7-23- YE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE BE NOT YE THE SERVANTS OF MEN.
/7-24- BRETHREN
LET EVERY MAN
WHEREIN HE IS CALLED
THEREIN ABIDE WITH GOD.
/7-25- NOW CONCERNING VIRGINS I HAVE NO COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD- YET I GIVE MY JUDGMENT
AS ONE THAT HATH OBTAINED MERCY OF THE LORD TO BE FAITHFUL.
/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 A WIFE? SEEK NOT TO BE LOOSED. ART THOU LOOSED FROM A WIFE? SEEK NOT A WIFE.
/7-28- BUT AND IF THOU MARRY
THOU HAST NOT SINNED AND IF A VIRGIN MARRY
SHE HATH NOT SINNED. NEVERTHELESS SUCH SHALL HAVE TROUBLE IN THE FLESH- BUT I SPARE YOU.
/7-29- BUT THIS I SAY
BRETHREN
THE TIME IS SHORT- IT REMAINETH
THAT BOTH THEY THAT HAVE WIVES BE AS THOUGH THEY HAD NONE
/7-30- AND THEY THAT WEEP
AS THOUGH THEY WEPT NOT AND THEY THAT REJOICE
AS THOUGH THEY REJOICED NOT AND THEY THAT BUY
AS THOUGH THEY POSSESSED NOT
/7-31- AND THEY THAT USE THIS WORLD
AS NOT ABUSING IT- FOR THE FASHION OF THIS WORLD PASSETH AWAY.
/7-32- BUT I WOULD HAVE YOU WITHOUT CAREFULNESS. HE THAT IS UNMARRIED CARETH FOR THE THINGS THAT BELONG TO THE LORD
HOW HE MAY PLEASE THE LORD-
/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 BETWEEN A WIFE AND A VIRGIN. THE UNMARRIED WOMAN CARETH FOR THE THINGS OF THE LORD
THAT SHE MAY BE HOLY BOTH IN BODY AND IN SPIRIT- BUT SHE THAT IS MARRIED CARETH FOR THE THINGS OF THE WORLD
HOW SHE MAY PLEASE HER HUSBAND.
/7-35- AND THIS I SPEAK FOR YOUR OWN PROFIT NOT THAT I MAY CAST A SNARE UPON YOU
BUT FOR THAT WHICH IS COMELY
AND THAT YE MAY ATTEND UPON THE LORD WITHOUT DISTRACTION.
/7-36- BUT IF ANY MAN THINK THAT HE BEHAVETH HIMSELF UNCOMELY TOWARD HIS VIRGIN
IF SHE PASS THE FLOWER OF HER AGE
AND NEED SO REQUIRE
LET HIM DO WHAT HE WILL
HE SINNETH NOT- LET THEM MARRY.
/7-37- NEVERTHELESS HE THAT STANDETH STEDFAST IN HIS HEART
HAVING NO NECESSITY
BUT HATH POWER OVER HIS OWN WILL
AND HATH SO DECREED IN HIS HEART THAT HE WILL KEEP HIS VIRGIN
DOETH WELL.
/7-38- SO THEN HE THAT GIVETH HER IN MARRIAGE DOETH WELL BUT HE THAT GIVETH HER NOT IN MARRIAGE DOETH BETTER.
/7-39- THE WIFE IS BOUND BY THE LAW AS LONG AS HER HUSBAND LIVETH BUT IF HER HUSBAND BE DEAD
SHE IS AT LIBERTY TO BE MARRIED TO WHOM SHE WILL ONLY IN THE LORD.
/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- NOW AS TOUCHING THINGS OFFERED UNTO IDOLS
WE KNOW THAT WE ALL HAVE KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP
BUT CHARITY EDIFIETH.
/8-2- AND IF ANY MAN THINK THAT HE KNOWETH ANY THING
HE KNOWETH NOTHING YET AS HE OUGHT TO KNOW.
/8-3- BUT IF ANY MAN LOVE GOD
THE SAME IS KNOWN OF HIM.
/8-4- AS CONCERNING THEREFORE THE EATING OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE OFFERED IN SACRIFICE UNTO IDOLS
WE KNOW THAT AN IDOL IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD
AND THAT THERE IS NONE OTHER GOD BUT ONE.
/8-5- FOR THOUGH THERE BE THAT ARE CALLED GODS
WHETHER IN HEAVEN OR IN EARTH
(AS THERE BE GODS MANY
AND LORDS MANY
)
/8-6- BUT TO US THERE IS BUT ONE GOD
THE FATHER
OF WHOM ARE ALL THINGS
AND WE IN HIM AND ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST
BY WHOM ARE ALL THINGS
AND WE BY HIM.
/8-7- HOWBEIT THERE IS NOT IN EVERY MAN THAT KNOWLEDGE- FOR SOME WITH CONSCIENCE OF THE IDOL UNTO THIS HOUR EAT IT AS A THING OFFERED UNTO AN IDOL AND THEIR CONSCIENCE BEING WEAK IS DEFILED.
/8-8- BUT MEAT COMMENDETH US NOT TO GOD- FOR NEITHER
IF WE EAT
ARE WE THE BETTER NEITHER
IF WE EAT NOT
ARE WE THE WORSE.
/8-9- BUT TAKE HEED LEST BY ANY MEANS THIS LIBERTY OF YOURS BECOME A STUMBLINGBLOCK TO THEM THAT ARE WEAK.
/8-10- FOR IF ANY MAN SEE THEE WHICH HAST KNOWLEDGE SIT AT MEAT IN THE IDOL'S TEMPLE
SHALL NOT THE CONSCIENCE OF HIM WHICH IS WEAK BE EMBOLDENED TO EAT THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE OFFERED TO IDOLS
/8-11- AND THROUGH THY KNOWLEDGE SHALL THE WEAK BROTHER PERISH
FOR WHOM CHRIST DIED?
/8-12- BUT WHEN YE SIN SO AGAINST THE BRETHREN
AND WOUND THEIR WEAK CONSCIENCE
YE SIN AGAINST CHRIST.
/8-13- WHEREFORE
IF MEAT MAKE MY BROTHER TO OFFEND
I WILL EAT NO FLESH WHILE THE WORLD STANDETH
LEST I MAKE MY BROTHER TO OFFEND.
/9-1- AM I NOT AN APOSTLE? AM I NOT FREE? HAVE I NOT SEEN JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD? ARE NOT YE MY WORK IN THE LORD?
/9-2- IF I BE NOT AN APOSTLE UNTO OTHERS
YET DOUBTLESS I AM TO YOU- FOR THE SEAL OF MINE APOSTLESHIP ARE YE IN THE LORD.
/9-3- MINE ANSWER TO THEM THAT DO EXAMINE ME IS THIS
/9-4- HAVE WE NOT POWER TO EAT AND TO DRINK?
/9-5- HAVE WE NOT POWER TO LEAD ABOUT A SISTER
A WIFE
AS WELL AS OTHER APOSTLES
AND AS THE BRETHREN OF THE LORD
AND CEPHAS?
/9-6- OR I ONLY AND BARNABAS
HAVE NOT WE POWER TO FORBEAR WORKING?
/9-7- WHO GOETH A WARFARE ANY TIME AT HIS OWN CHARGES? WHO PLANTETH A VINEYARD
AND EATETH NOT OF THE FRUIT THEREOF? OR WHO FEEDETH A FLOCK
AND EATETH NOT OF THE MILK OF THE FLOCK?
/9-8- SAY I THESE THINGS AS A MAN? OR SAITH NOT THE LAW THE SAME ALSO?
/9-9- FOR IT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES
THOU SHALT NOT MUZZLE THE MOUTH OF THE OX THAT TREADETH OUT THE CORN. DOTH GOD TAKE CARE FOR OXEN?
/9-10- OR SAITH HE IT ALTOGETHER FOR OUR SAKES? FOR OUR SAKES
NO DOUBT
THIS IS WRITTEN- THAT HE THAT PLOWETH SHOULD PLOW IN HOPE AND THAT HE THAT THRESHETH IN HOPE SHOULD BE PARTAKER OF HIS HOPE.
/9-11- IF WE HAVE SOWN UNTO YOU SPIRITUAL THINGS
IS IT A GREAT THING IF WE SHALL REAP YOUR CARNAL THINGS?
/9-12- IF OTHERS BE PARTAKERS OF THIS POWER OVER YOU
ARE NOT WE RATHER? NEVERTHELESS WE HAVE NOT USED THIS POWER BUT SUFFER ALL THINGS
LEST WE SHOULD HINDER THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.
/9-13- DO YE NOT KNOW THAT THEY WHICH MINISTER ABOUT HOLY THINGS LIVE OF THE THINGS OF THE TEMPLE? AND THEY WHICH WAIT AT THE ALTAR ARE PARTAKERS WITH THE ALTAR?
/9-14- EVEN SO HATH THE LORD ORDAINED THAT THEY WHICH PREACH THE GOSPEL SHOULD LIVE OF THE GOSPEL.
/9-15- BUT I HAVE USED NONE OF THESE THINGS- NEITHER HAVE I WRITTEN THESE THINGS
THAT IT SHOULD BE SO DONE UNTO ME- FOR IT WERE BETTER FOR ME TO DIE
THAN THAT ANY MAN SHOULD MAKE MY GLORYING VOID.
/9-16- FOR THOUGH I PREACH THE GOSPEL
I HAVE NOTHING TO GLORY OF- FOR NECESSITY IS LAID UPON ME YEA
WOE IS UNTO ME
IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL!
/9-17- FOR IF I DO THIS THING WILLINGLY
I HAVE A REWARD- BUT IF AGAINST MY WILL
A DISPENSATION OF THE GOSPEL IS COMMITTED UNTO ME.
/9-18- WHAT IS MY REWARD THEN? VERILY THAT
WHEN I PREACH THE GOSPEL
I MAY MAKE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST WITHOUT CHARGE
THAT I ABUSE NOT MY POWER IN THE GOSPEL.
/9-19- FOR THOUGH I BE FREE FROM ALL MEN
YET HAVE I MADE MYSELF SERVANT UNTO ALL
THAT I MIGHT GAIN THE MORE.
/9-20- AND UNTO THE JEWS I BECAME AS A JEW
THAT I MIGHT GAIN THE JEWS TO THEM THAT ARE UNDER THE LAW
AS UNDER THE LAW
THAT I MIGHT GAIN THEM THAT ARE UNDER THE LAW
/9-21- TO THEM THAT ARE WITHOUT LAW
AS WITHOUT LAW
(BEING NOT WITHOUT LAW TO GOD
BUT UNDER THE LAW TO CHRIST
) THAT I MIGHT GAIN THEM THAT ARE WITHOUT LAW.
/9-22- TO THE WEAK BECAME I AS WEAK
THAT I MIGHT GAIN THE WEAK- I AM MADE ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN
THAT I MIGHT BY ALL MEANS SAVE SOME.
/9-23- AND THIS I DO FOR THE GOSPEL'S SAKE
THAT I MIGHT BE PARTAKER THEREOF WITH YOU.
/9-24- KNOW YE NOT THAT THEY WHICH RUN IN A RACE RUN ALL
BUT ONE RECEIVETH THE PRIZE? SO RUN
THAT YE MAY OBTAIN.
/9-25- AND EVERY MAN THAT STRIVETH FOR THE MASTERY IS TEMPERATE IN ALL THINGS. NOW THEY DO IT TO OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE.
/9-26- I THEREFORE SO RUN
NOT AS UNCERTAINLY SO FIGHT I
NOT AS ONE THAT BEATETH THE AIR-
/9-27- BUT I KEEP UNDER MY BODY
AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION- LEST THAT BY ANY MEANS
WHEN I HAVE PREACHED TO OTHERS
I MYSELF SHOULD BE A CASTAWAY.
/10-1- MOREOVER
BRETHREN
I WOULD NOT THAT YE SHOULD BE IGNORANT
HOW THAT ALL OUR FATHERS WERE UNDER THE CLOUD
AND ALL PASSED THROUGH THE SEA
/10-2- AND WERE ALL BAPTIZED UNTO MOSES IN THE CLOUD AND IN THE 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 FOLLOWED THEM- AND THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST.
/10-5- BUT WITH MANY OF THEM GOD WAS NOT WELL PLEASED- FOR THEY WERE OVERTHROWN IN THE WILDERNESS.
/10-6- NOW THESE THINGS WERE OUR EXAMPLES
TO THE INTENT WE SHOULD NOT LUST AFTER EVIL THINGS
AS THEY ALSO LUSTED.
/10-7- NEITHER BE YE IDOLATERS
AS WERE SOME OF THEM AS IT IS WRITTEN
THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK
AND ROSE UP TO PLAY.
/10-8- NEITHER LET US COMMIT FORNICATION
AS SOME OF THEM COMMITTED
AND FELL IN ONE DAY THREE AND TWENTY THOUSAND.
/10-9- NEITHER LET US TEMPT CHRIST
AS SOME OF THEM ALSO TEMPTED
AND WERE DESTROYED OF SERPENTS.
/10-10- NEITHER MURMUR YE
AS SOME OF THEM ALSO MURMURED
AND WERE DESTROYED OF THE DESTROYER.
/10-11- NOW ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENED UNTO THEM FOR ENSAMPLES- AND THEY ARE WRITTEN FOR OUR ADMONITION
UPON WHOM THE ENDS OF THE WORLD ARE COME.
/10-12- WHEREFORE LET HIM THAT THINKETH HE STANDETH TAKE HEED LEST HE FALL.
/10-13- THERE HATH NO TEMPTATION TAKEN YOU BUT SUCH AS IS COMMON TO MAN- BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL
WHO WILL NOT SUFFER YOU TO BE TEMPTED ABOVE THAT YE ARE ABLE BUT WILL WITH THE TEMPTATION ALSO MAKE A WAY TO ESCAPE
THAT YE MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT.
/10-14- WHEREFORE
MY DEARLY BELOVED
FLEE FROM IDOLATRY.
/10-15- I SPEAK AS TO WISE MEN JUDGE YE WHAT I SAY.
/10-16- THE CUP OF BLESSING WHICH WE BLESS
IS IT NOT THE COMMUNION OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST? THE BREAD WHICH WE BREAK
IS IT NOT THE COMMUNION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST?
/10-17- FOR WE BEING MANY ARE ONE BREAD
AND ONE BODY- FOR WE ARE ALL PARTAKERS OF THAT ONE BREAD.
/10-18- BEHOLD ISRAEL AFTER THE FLESH- ARE NOT THEY WHICH EAT OF THE SACRIFICES PARTAKERS OF THE ALTAR?
/10-19- WHAT SAY I THEN? THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING
OR THAT WHICH IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE TO IDOLS IS ANY THING?
/10-20- BUT I SAY
THAT THE THINGS WHICH THE GENTILES SACRIFICE
THEY SACRIFICE TO DEVILS
AND NOT TO GOD- AND I WOULD NOT THAT YE SHOULD HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH DEVILS.
/10-21- YE CANNOT DRINK THE CUP OF THE LORD
AND THE CUP OF DEVILS- YE CANNOT BE PARTAKERS OF THE LORD'S TABLE
AND OF THE TABLE OF DEVILS.
/10-22- DO WE PROVOKE THE LORD TO JEALOUSY? ARE WE STRONGER THAN HE?
/10-23- ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME
BUT ALL THINGS ARE NOT EXPEDIENT- ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME
BUT ALL THINGS EDIFY NOT.
/10-24- LET NO MAN SEEK HIS OWN
BUT EVERY MAN ANOTHER'S WEALTH.
/10-25- WHATSOEVER IS SOLD IN THE SHAMBLES
THAT EAT
ASKING NO QUESTION FOR CONSCIENCE SAKE-
/10-26- FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S
AND THE FULNESS THEREOF.
/10-27- IF ANY OF THEM THAT BELIEVE NOT BID YOU TO A FEAST
AND YE BE DISPOSED TO GO WHATSOEVER IS SET BEFORE YOU
EAT
ASKING NO QUESTION FOR CONSCIENCE SAKE.
/10-28- BUT IF ANY MAN SAY UNTO YOU
THIS IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE UNTO IDOLS
EAT NOT FOR HIS SAKE THAT SHEWED IT
AND FOR CONSCIENCE SAKE- FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S
AND THE FULNESS THEREOF-
/10-29- CONSCIENCE
I SAY
NOT THINE OWN
BUT OF THE OTHER- FOR WHY IS MY LIBERTY JUDGED OF ANOTHER MAN'S CONSCIENCE?
/10-30- FOR IF I BY GRACE BE A PARTAKER
WHY AM I EVIL SPOKEN OF FOR THAT FOR WHICH I GIVE THANKS?
/10-31- WHETHER THEREFORE YE EAT
OR DRINK
OR WHATSOEVER YE DO
DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.
/10-32- GIVE NONE OFFENCE
NEITHER TO THE JEWS
NOR TO THE GENTILES
NOR TO THE CHURCH OF GOD-
/10-33- EVEN AS I PLEASE ALL MEN IN ALL THINGS
NOT SEEKING MINE OWN PROFIT
BUT THE PROFIT OF MANY
THAT THEY MAY BE SAVED.
/11-1- BE YE FOLLOWERS OF ME
EVEN AS I ALSO AM OF CHRIST.
/11-2- NOW I PRAISE YOU
BRETHREN
THAT YE REMEMBER ME IN ALL THINGS
AND KEEP THE ORDINANCES
AS I DELIVERED THEM TO YOU.
/11-3- BUT I WOULD HAVE YOU KNOW
THAT THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN IS CHRIST AND THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN IS THE MAN AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD.
/11-4- EVERY MAN PRAYING OR PROPHESYING
HAVING HIS HEAD COVERED
DISHONOURETH HIS HEAD.
/11-5- BUT EVERY WOMAN THAT PRAYETH OR PROPHESIETH WITH HER HEAD UNCOVERED DISHONOURETH HER HEAD- FOR THAT IS EVEN ALL ONE AS IF SHE WERE SHAVEN.
/11-6- FOR IF THE WOMAN BE NOT COVERED
LET HER ALSO BE SHORN- BUT IF IT BE A SHAME FOR A WOMAN TO BE SHORN OR SHAVEN
LET HER BE COVERED.
/11-7- FOR A MAN INDEED OUGHT NOT TO COVER HIS HEAD
FORASMUCH AS HE IS THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD- BUT THE WOMAN IS THE GLORY OF THE MAN.
/11-8- FOR THE MAN IS NOT OF THE WOMAN BUT THE WOMAN OF THE MAN.
/11-9- NEITHER WAS THE MAN CREATED FOR THE WOMAN BUT THE WOMAN FOR THE MAN.
/11-10- FOR THIS CAUSE OUGHT THE WOMAN TO HAVE POWER ON HER HEAD BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS.
/11-11- NEVERTHELESS NEITHER IS THE MAN WITHOUT THE WOMAN
NEITHER THE WOMAN WITHOUT THE MAN
IN THE LORD.
/11-12- FOR AS THE WOMAN IS OF THE MAN
EVEN SO IS THE MAN ALSO BY THE WOMAN BUT ALL THINGS OF GOD.
/11-13- JUDGE IN YOURSELVES- IS IT COMELY THAT A WOMAN PRAY UNTO 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 WOMAN HAVE LONG HAIR
IT IS A GLORY TO HER- FOR HER HAIR IS GIVEN HER FOR A COVERING.
/11-16- BUT IF ANY MAN SEEM TO BE CONTENTIOUS
WE HAVE NO SUCH CUSTOM
NEITHER THE CHURCHES OF GOD.
/11-17- NOW IN THIS THAT I DECLARE UNTO YOU I PRAISE YOU NOT
THAT YE COME TOGETHER NOT FOR THE BETTER
BUT FOR THE WORSE.
/11-18- FOR FIRST OF ALL
WHEN YE COME TOGETHER IN THE CHURCH
I HEAR THAT THERE BE DIVISIONS AMONG YOU AND I PARTLY BELIEVE IT.
/11-19- FOR THERE MUST BE ALSO HERESIES AMONG YOU
THAT THEY WHICH ARE APPROVED MAY BE MADE MANIFEST AMONG YOU.
/11-20- WHEN YE COME TOGETHER THEREFORE INTO ONE PLACE
THIS IS NOT TO EAT THE LORD'S SUPPER.
/11-21- FOR IN EATING EVERY ONE TAKETH BEFORE OTHER HIS OWN SUPPER- AND ONE IS HUNGRY
AND ANOTHER 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 WHICH ALSO I DELIVERED UNTO YOU
THAT THE LORD JESUS THE SAME NIGHT IN WHICH HE WAS BETRAYED TOOK BREAD-
/11-24- AND WHEN HE HAD GIVEN THANKS
HE BRAKE IT
AND SAID
TAKE
EAT- THIS IS MY BODY
WHICH IS BROKEN FOR YOU- THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.
/11-25- AFTER THE SAME MANNER ALSO HE TOOK THE CUP
WHEN HE HAD SUPPED
SAYING
THIS CUP IS THE NEW TESTAMENT IN MY BLOOD- THIS DO YE
AS OFT AS YE DRINK IT
IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.
/11-26- FOR AS OFTEN AS YE EAT THIS BREAD
AND DRINK THIS CUP
YE DO SHEW THE LORD'S DEATH TILL HE COME.
/11-27- WHEREFORE WHOSOEVER SHALL EAT THIS BREAD
AND DRINK THIS CUP OF THE LORD
UNWORTHILY
SHALL BE GUILTY OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF THE LORD.
/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 DRINKETH UNWORTHILY
EATETH AND DRINKETH DAMNATION TO HIMSELF
NOT DISCERNING THE LORD'S BODY.
/11-30- FOR THIS CAUSE MANY ARE WEAK AND SICKLY AMONG YOU
AND MANY SLEEP.
/11-31- FOR IF WE WOULD JUDGE OURSELVES
WE SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED.
/11-32- BUT WHEN WE ARE JUDGED
WE ARE CHASTENED OF THE LORD
THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE CONDEMNED WITH THE WORLD.
/11-33- WHEREFORE
MY BRETHREN
WHEN YE COME TOGETHER TO EAT
TARRY ONE FOR ANOTHER.
/11-34- AND IF ANY MAN HUNGER
LET HIM EAT AT HOME THAT YE COME NOT TOGETHER UNTO CONDEMNATION. AND THE REST WILL I SET IN ORDER WHEN I COME.
/12-1- NOW CONCERNING SPIRITUAL GIFTS
BRETHREN
I WOULD NOT HAVE YOU IGNORANT.
/12-2- YE KNOW THAT YE WERE GENTILES
CARRIED AWAY UNTO THESE DUMB IDOLS
EVEN AS YE WERE LED.
/12-3- WHEREFORE I GIVE YOU TO UNDERSTAND
THAT NO MAN SPEAKING BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD CALLETH JESUS ACCURSED- AND THAT NO MAN CAN SAY THAT JESUS IS THE LORD
BUT BY THE HOLY GHOST.
/12-4- NOW THERE ARE DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS
BUT THE SAME SPIRIT.
/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 WHICH WORKETH ALL IN ALL.
/12-7- BUT THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT IS GIVEN TO EVERY MAN TO PROFIT WITHAL.
/12-8- FOR TO ONE IS GIVEN BY THE SPIRIT THE WORD OF WISDOM TO ANOTHER THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE BY THE SAME SPIRIT
/12-9- TO ANOTHER FAITH BY THE SAME SPIRIT TO ANOTHER THE GIFTS OF HEALING BY THE SAME SPIRIT
/12-10- TO ANOTHER THE WORKING OF MIRACLES TO ANOTHER PROPHECY TO ANOTHER DISCERNING OF SPIRITS TO ANOTHER DIVERS KINDS OF TONGUES TO ANOTHER THE INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES-
/12-11- BUT ALL THESE WORKETH THAT ONE AND THE SELFSAME SPIRIT
DIVIDING TO 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 WE ALL BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY
WHETHER WE BE JEWS OR GENTILES
WHETHER WE BE BOND OR FREE AND HAVE BEEN ALL MADE TO DRINK INTO ONE SPIRIT.
/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 WHOLE BODY WERE AN EYE
WHERE WERE THE HEARING? IF THE WHOLE WERE HEARING
WHERE WERE THE SMELLING?
/12-18- BUT NOW HATH GOD SET THE MEMBERS EVERY ONE OF THEM IN THE BODY
AS IT HATH PLEASED HIM.
/12-19- AND IF THEY WERE ALL ONE MEMBER
WHERE WERE THE BODY?
/12-20- BUT NOW ARE THEY MANY MEMBERS
YET BUT ONE BODY.
/12-21- AND THE EYE CANNOT SAY UNTO THE HAND
I HAVE NO NEED OF THEE- NOR AGAIN THE HEAD TO THE FEET
I HAVE NO NEED OF YOU.
/12-22- NAY
MUCH MORE THOSE MEMBERS OF THE BODY
WHICH SEEM TO BE MORE FEEBLE
ARE NECESSARY-
/12-23- AND THOSE MEMBERS OF THE BODY
WHICH WE THINK TO BE LESS HONOURABLE
UPON THESE WE BESTOW MORE ABUNDANT HONOUR AND OUR UNCOMELY PARTS HAVE MORE ABUNDANT COMELINESS.
/12-24- FOR OUR COMELY 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 WHETHER ONE MEMBER SUFFER
ALL THE MEMBERS SUFFER WITH IT OR ONE MEMBER BE HONOURED
ALL THE MEMBERS REJOICE WITH IT.
/12-27- NOW YE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST
AND MEMBERS IN PARTICULAR.
/12-28- AND GOD HATH SET SOME IN THE CHURCH
FIRST APOSTLES
SECONDARILY PROPHETS
THIRDLY TEACHERS
AFTER THAT MIRACLES
THEN GIFTS OF HEALINGS
HELPS
GOVERNMENTS
DIVERSITIES OF TONGUES.
/12-29- ARE ALL APOSTLES? ARE ALL PROPHETS? ARE ALL TEACHERS? ARE ALL WORKERS OF MIRACLES?
/12-30- HAVE ALL THE GIFTS OF HEALING? DO ALL SPEAK WITH TONGUES? DO ALL INTERPRET?
/12-31- BUT COVET EARNESTLY THE BEST GIFTS- AND YET SHEW I UNTO YOU A MORE EXCELLENT WAY.
/13-1- THOUGH I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS
AND HAVE NOT CHARITY
I AM BECOME AS SOUNDING BRASS
OR A TINKLING CYMBAL.
/13-2- AND THOUGH I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY
AND UNDERSTAND ALL MYSTERIES
AND ALL KNOWLEDGE AND THOUGH I HAVE ALL FAITH
SO THAT I COULD REMOVE MOUNTAINS
AND HAVE NOT CHARITY
I AM NOTHING.
/13-3- AND THOUGH I BESTOW ALL MY GOODS TO FEED THE POOR
AND THOUGH I GIVE MY BODY TO BE BURNED
AND HAVE NOT CHARITY
IT PROFITETH ME NOTHING.
/13-4- CHARITY SUFFERETH LONG
AND IS KIND CHARITY ENVIETH NOT CHARITY VAUNTETH NOT ITSELF
IS NOT PUFFED UP
/13-5- DOTH NOT BEHAVE ITSELF UNSEEMLY
SEEKETH NOT HER OWN
IS NOT EASILY PROVOKED
THINKETH NO EVIL
/13-6- REJOICETH NOT IN INIQUITY
BUT REJOICETH IN THE TRUTH
/13-7- BEARETH ALL THINGS
BELIEVETH ALL THINGS
HOPETH ALL THINGS
ENDURETH ALL THINGS.
/13-8- CHARITY NEVER FAILETH- BUT WHETHER THERE BE PROPHECIES
THEY SHALL FAIL WHETHER THERE BE TONGUES
THEY SHALL CEASE WHETHER THERE BE KNOWLEDGE
IT SHALL VANISH AWAY.
/13-9- FOR WE KNOW IN PART
AND WE PROPHESY IN PART.
/13-10- BUT WHEN THAT WHICH IS PERFECT IS COME
THEN THAT WHICH IS IN PART SHALL BE DONE AWAY.
/13-11- WHEN I WAS A CHILD
I SPAKE AS A CHILD
I UNDERSTOOD AS A CHILD
I THOUGHT AS A CHILD- BUT WHEN I BECAME A MAN
I PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS.
/13-12- FOR NOW WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS
DARKLY BUT THEN FACE TO FACE- NOW I KNOW IN PART BUT THEN SHALL I KNOW EVEN AS ALSO I AM KNOWN.
/13-13- AND NOW ABIDETH FAITH
HOPE
CHARITY
THESE THREE BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS CHARITY.
/14-1- FOLLOW AFTER CHARITY
AND DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS
BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY.
/14-2- FOR HE THAT SPEAKETH IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE SPEAKETH NOT UNTO MEN
BUT UNTO GOD- FOR NO MAN UNDERSTANDETH HIM HOWBEIT IN THE SPIRIT HE SPEAKETH MYSTERIES.
/14-3- BUT HE THAT PROPHESIETH SPEAKETH UNTO MEN TO EDIFICATION
AND EXHORTATION
AND COMFORT.
/14-4- HE THAT SPEAKETH IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE EDIFIETH HIMSELF BUT HE THAT PROPHESIETH EDIFIETH THE CHURCH.
/14-5- I WOULD THAT YE ALL SPAKE WITH TONGUES
BUT RATHER THAT YE PROPHESIED- FOR GREATER IS HE THAT PROPHESIETH THAN HE THAT SPEAKETH WITH TONGUES
EXCEPT HE INTERPRET
THAT THE CHURCH MAY RECEIVE EDIFYING.
/14-6- NOW
BRETHREN
IF I COME UNTO YOU SPEAKING WITH TONGUES
WHAT SHALL I PROFIT YOU
EXCEPT I SHALL SPEAK TO YOU EITHER BY REVELATION
OR BY KNOWLEDGE
OR BY PROPHESYING
OR BY DOCTRINE?
/14-7- AND EVEN THINGS WITHOUT LIFE GIVING SOUND
WHETHER PIPE OR HARP
EXCEPT THEY GIVE A DISTINCTION IN THE SOUNDS
HOW SHALL IT BE KNOWN WHAT IS PIPED OR HARPED?
/14-8- FOR IF THE TRUMPET GIVE AN UNCERTAIN SOUND
WHO SHALL PREPARE HIMSELF TO THE BATTLE?
/14-9- SO LIKEWISE YE
EXCEPT YE UTTER BY THE TONGUE WORDS EASY TO BE UNDERSTOOD
HOW SHALL IT BE KNOWN WHAT IS SPOKEN? FOR YE SHALL SPEAK INTO THE AIR.
/14-10- THERE ARE
IT MAY BE
SO MANY KINDS OF VOICES IN THE WORLD
AND NONE OF THEM IS WITHOUT SIGNIFICATION.
/14-11- THEREFORE IF I KNOW NOT THE MEANING OF THE VOICE
I SHALL BE UNTO HIM THAT SPEAKETH A BARBARIAN
AND HE THAT SPEAKETH SHALL BE A BARBARIAN UNTO ME.
/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 UNKNOWN TONGUE PRAY THAT HE MAY INTERPRET.
/14-14- FOR IF I PRAY IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE
MY SPIRIT PRAYETH
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS UNFRUITFUL.
/14-15- WHAT IS IT THEN? I WILL PRAY WITH THE SPIRIT
AND I WILL PRAY WITH THE UNDERSTANDING ALSO- I WILL SING WITH THE SPIRIT
AND I WILL SING WITH THE UNDERSTANDING ALSO.
/14-16- ELSE WHEN THOU SHALT BLESS WITH THE SPIRIT
HOW SHALL HE THAT OCCUPIETH THE ROOM OF THE UNLEARNED SAY AMEN AT THY GIVING OF THANKS
SEEING HE UNDERSTANDETH NOT WHAT THOU SAYEST?
/14-17- FOR THOU VERILY GIVEST THANKS WELL
BUT THE OTHER IS NOT EDIFIED.
/14-18- I THANK MY GOD
I SPEAK WITH TONGUES MORE THAN YE ALL-
/14-19- YET IN THE CHURCH I HAD RATHER SPEAK FIVE WORDS WITH MY UNDERSTANDING
THAT BY MY VOICE I MIGHT TEACH OTHERS ALSO
THAN TEN THOUSAND WORDS IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE.
/14-20- BRETHREN
BE NOT CHILDREN IN UNDERSTANDING- HOWBEIT IN MALICE BE YE CHILDREN
BUT IN UNDERSTANDING BE MEN.
/14-21- IN THE LAW IT IS WRITTEN
WITH MEN OF OTHER TONGUES AND OTHER LIPS WILL I SPEAK UNTO THIS PEOPLE AND YET FOR ALL THAT WILL THEY NOT HEAR ME
SAITH THE LORD.
/14-22- WHEREFORE TONGUES ARE FOR A SIGN
NOT TO THEM THAT BELIEVE
BUT TO THEM THAT BELIEVE NOT- BUT PROPHESYING SERVETH NOT FOR THEM THAT BELIEVE NOT
BUT FOR THEM WHICH BELIEVE.
/14-23- IF THEREFORE THE WHOLE CHURCH BE COME TOGETHER INTO ONE PLACE
AND ALL SPEAK WITH TONGUES
AND THERE COME IN THOSE THAT ARE UNLEARNED
OR UNBELIEVERS
WILL THEY NOT SAY THAT YE ARE MAD?
/14-24- BUT IF ALL PROPHESY
AND THERE COME IN ONE THAT BELIEVETH NOT
OR ONE UNLEARNED
HE IS CONVINCED OF ALL
HE IS JUDGED OF ALL-
/14-25- AND THUS ARE THE SECRETS OF HIS HEART MADE MANIFEST AND SO FALLING DOWN ON HIS FACE HE WILL WORSHIP GOD
AND REPORT THAT GOD IS IN YOU OF A TRUTH.
/14-26- HOW IS IT THEN
BRETHREN? WHEN YE COME TOGETHER
EVERY ONE OF YOU HATH A PSALM
HATH A DOCTRINE
HATH A TONGUE
HATH A REVELATION
HATH AN INTERPRETATION. LET ALL THINGS BE DONE UNTO EDIFYING.
/14-27- IF ANY MAN SPEAK IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE
LET IT BE BY TWO
OR AT THE MOST BY THREE
AND THAT BY COURSE AND LET ONE INTERPRET.
/14-28- BUT IF THERE BE NO INTERPRETER
LET HIM KEEP SILENCE IN THE CHURCH AND LET HIM SPEAK TO HIMSELF
AND TO GOD.
/14-29- LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE
AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE.
/14-30- IF ANY THING BE REVEALED TO ANOTHER THAT SITTETH BY
LET THE FIRST HOLD HIS PEACE.
/14-31- FOR YE MAY ALL PROPHESY ONE BY ONE
THAT ALL MAY LEARN
AND ALL MAY BE COMFORTED.
/14-32- AND THE SPIRITS OF THE PROPHETS ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROPHETS.
/14-33- FOR GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION
BUT OF PEACE
AS IN ALL CHURCHES OF THE SAINTS.
/14-34- LET YOUR WOMEN KEEP SILENCE IN THE CHURCHES- FOR IT IS NOT PERMITTED UNTO THEM TO SPEAK BUT THEY ARE COMMANDED TO BE UNDER OBEDIENCE
AS ALSO SAITH THE LAW.
/14-35- AND IF THEY WILL LEARN ANY THING
LET THEM ASK THEIR HUSBANDS AT HOME- FOR IT IS A SHAME FOR WOMEN TO SPEAK IN THE CHURCH.
/14-36- WHAT? CAME THE WORD OF GOD OUT FROM YOU? OR CAME IT UNTO YOU ONLY?
/14-37- IF ANY MAN THINK HIMSELF TO BE A PROPHET
OR SPIRITUAL
LET HIM ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE THINGS THAT I WRITE UNTO YOU ARE THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD.
/14-38- BUT IF ANY MAN BE IGNORANT
LET HIM BE IGNORANT.
/14-39- WHEREFORE
BRETHREN
COVET TO PROPHESY
AND FORBID NOT TO SPEAK WITH TONGUES.
/14-40- LET ALL THINGS BE DONE DECENTLY AND IN ORDER.
/15-1- MOREOVER
BRETHREN
I DECLARE UNTO YOU THE GOSPEL WHICH I PREACHED UNTO YOU
WHICH ALSO YE HAVE RECEIVED
AND WHEREIN YE STAND
/15-2- BY WHICH ALSO YE ARE SAVED
IF YE KEEP IN MEMORY WHAT I PREACHED UNTO YOU
UNLESS YE HAVE BELIEVED IN VAIN.
/15-3- FOR I DELIVERED UNTO YOU FIRST OF ALL THAT WHICH I ALSO RECEIVED
HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES
/15-4- AND THAT HE WAS BURIED
AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES-
/15-5- AND THAT HE WAS SEEN OF CEPHAS
THEN OF THE TWELVE-
/15-6- AFTER THAT
HE WAS SEEN OF ABOVE FIVE HUNDRED BRETHREN AT ONCE OF WHOM THE GREATER PART REMAIN UNTO THIS PRESENT
BUT SOME ARE FALLEN ASLEEP.
/15-7- AFTER THAT
HE WAS SEEN OF JAMES THEN OF ALL THE APOSTLES.
/15-8- AND LAST OF ALL HE WAS SEEN OF ME ALSO
AS OF ONE BORN OUT OF DUE TIME.
/15-9- FOR I AM THE LEAST OF THE APOSTLES
THAT AM NOT MEET TO BE CALLED AN APOSTLE
BECAUSE I PERSECUTED THE CHURCH OF GOD.
/15-10- BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD I AM WHAT I AM- AND HIS GRACE WHICH WAS BESTOWED UPON ME WAS NOT IN VAIN BUT I LABOURED MORE ABUNDANTLY THAN THEY ALL- YET NOT I
BUT THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH WAS WITH ME.
/15-11- THEREFORE WHETHER IT WERE I OR THEY
SO WE PREACH
AND SO YE BELIEVED.
/15-12- NOW IF CHRIST BE PREACHED THAT HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD
HOW SAY SOME AMONG YOU THAT THERE IS NO RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD?
/15-13- BUT IF THERE BE NO RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
THEN IS CHRIST NOT RISEN-
/15-14- AND IF CHRIST BE NOT RISEN
THEN IS OUR PREACHING VAIN
AND YOUR FAITH IS ALSO VAIN.
/15-15- YEA
AND WE ARE FOUND FALSE WITNESSES OF GOD BECAUSE WE HAVE TESTIFIED OF GOD THAT HE RAISED UP CHRIST- WHOM HE RAISED NOT UP
IF SO BE THAT THE DEAD RISE NOT.
/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 ALSO WHICH ARE FALLEN ASLEEP IN CHRIST ARE PERISHED.
/15-19- IF IN THIS LIFE ONLY WE HAVE HOPE IN CHRIST
WE ARE OF ALL MEN MOST MISERABLE.
/15-20- BUT NOW IS CHRIST RISEN FROM THE DEAD
AND BECOME THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THEM THAT SLEPT.
/15-21- FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH
BY MAN CAME ALSO THE RESURRECTION 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 OWN ORDER- CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS AFTERWARD THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING.
/15-24- THEN COMETH THE END
WHEN HE SHALL HAVE DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM TO GOD
EVEN THE FATHER WHEN HE SHALL HAVE PUT DOWN ALL RULE AND ALL AUTHORITY AND POWER.
/15-25- FOR HE MUST REIGN
TILL HE HATH PUT ALL ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET.
/15-26- THE LAST ENEMY THAT SHALL BE DESTROYED IS DEATH.
/15-27- FOR HE HATH PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET. BUT WHEN HE SAITH ALL THINGS ARE PUT UNDER HIM
IT IS MANIFEST THAT HE IS EXCEPTED
WHICH DID PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIM.
/15-28- AND WHEN ALL THINGS SHALL BE SUBDUED UNTO HIM
THEN SHALL THE SON ALSO HIMSELF BE SUBJECT UNTO HIM THAT PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIM
THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL.
/15-29- ELSE WHAT SHALL THEY DO WHICH ARE BAPTIZED FOR THE DEAD
IF THE DEAD RISE NOT AT ALL? WHY ARE THEY THEN BAPTIZED FOR THE DEAD?
/15-30- AND WHY STAND WE IN JEOPARDY EVERY HOUR?
/15-31- I PROTEST BY YOUR REJOICING WHICH I HAVE IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD
I DIE DAILY.
/15-32- IF AFTER THE MANNER OF MEN I HAVE FOUGHT WITH BEASTS AT EPHESUS
WHAT ADVANTAGETH IT ME
IF THE DEAD RISE NOT? LET US EAT AND DRINK FOR TO MORROW WE DIE.
/15-33- BE NOT DECEIVED- EVIL COMMUNICATIONS CORRUPT GOOD MANNERS.
/15-34- AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND SIN NOT FOR SOME HAVE NOT THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD- I SPEAK THIS TO YOUR SHAME.
/15-35- BUT SOME MAN WILL SAY
HOW ARE THE DEAD RAISED UP? AND WITH WHAT BODY DO THEY COME?
/15-36- THOU FOOL
THAT WHICH THOU SOWEST IS NOT QUICKENED
EXCEPT IT DIE-
/15-37- AND THAT WHICH THOU SOWEST
THOU SOWEST NOT THAT BODY THAT SHALL BE
BUT BARE GRAIN
IT MAY CHANCE OF WHEAT
OR OF SOME OTHER GRAIN-
/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 ANOTHER GLORY OF THE MOON
AND ANOTHER GLORY OF THE STARS- FOR ONE STAR DIFFERETH FROM ANOTHER STAR IN GLORY.
/15-42- SO ALSO IS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. IT IS SOWN IN CORRUPTION IT IS RAISED IN INCORRUPTION-
/15-43- IT IS SOWN IN DISHONOUR IT IS RAISED IN GLORY- IT IS SOWN IN WEAKNESS IT IS RAISED IN POWER-
/15-44- IT IS SOWN A NATURAL BODY IT IS RAISED A SPIRITUAL BODY. THERE IS A NATURAL BODY
AND THERE IS A SPIRITUAL BODY.
/15-45- AND SO IT IS WRITTEN
THE FIRST MAN ADAM WAS MADE A LIVING SOUL THE LAST ADAM WAS MADE A QUICKENING SPIRIT.
/15-46- HOWBEIT THAT WAS NOT FIRST WHICH IS SPIRITUAL
BUT THAT WHICH IS NATURAL AND AFTERWARD THAT WHICH IS SPIRITUAL.
/15-47- THE FIRST MAN IS OF THE EARTH
EARTHY- THE SECOND MAN 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 WE HAVE BORNE THE IMAGE OF THE EARTHY
WE SHALL ALSO BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY.
/15-50- NOW THIS I SAY
BRETHREN
THAT FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD NEITHER DOTH CORRUPTION INHERIT INCORRUPTION.
/15-51- BEHOLD
I SHEW YOU A MYSTERY WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP
BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED
/15-52- IN A MOMENT
IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE
AT THE LAST TRUMP- FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND
AND THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE
AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED.
/15-53- FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION
AND THIS MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY.
/15-54- SO WHEN THIS CORRUPTIBLE SHALL HAVE PUT ON INCORRUPTION
AND THIS MORTAL SHALL HAVE PUT ON IMMORTALITY
THEN SHALL BE BROUGHT TO PASS THE SAYING THAT IS WRITTEN
DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.
/15-55- O DEATH
WHERE IS THY STING? O GRAVE
WHERE IS THY VICTORY?
/15-56- THE STING OF DEATH IS SIN AND THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW.
/15-57- BUT THANKS BE TO GOD
WHICH GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
/15-58- THEREFORE
MY BELOVED BRETHREN
BE YE STEDFAST
UNMOVEABLE
ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN THE WORK OF THE LORD
FORASMUCH AS YE KNOW THAT YOUR LABOUR IS NOT IN VAIN IN THE LORD.
/16-1- NOW CONCERNING THE COLLECTION FOR THE SAINTS
AS I HAVE GIVEN ORDER TO THE CHURCHES OF GALATIA
EVEN SO DO YE.
/16-2- UPON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK LET EVERY ONE OF YOU LAY BY HIM IN STORE
AS GOD HATH PROSPERED HIM
THAT THERE BE NO GATHERINGS WHEN I COME.
/16-3- AND WHEN I COME
WHOMSOEVER YE SHALL APPROVE BY YOUR LETTERS
THEM WILL I SEND TO BRING YOUR LIBERALITY UNTO JERUSALEM.
/16-4- AND IF IT BE MEET THAT I GO ALSO
THEY SHALL GO WITH ME.
/16-5- NOW I WILL COME UNTO YOU
WHEN I SHALL PASS THROUGH MACEDONIA- FOR I DO PASS THROUGH MACEDONIA.
/16-6- AND IT MAY BE THAT I WILL ABIDE
YEA
AND WINTER WITH YOU
THAT YE MAY BRING ME ON MY JOURNEY WHITHERSOEVER I GO.
/16-7- FOR I WILL NOT SEE YOU NOW BY THE WAY BUT I TRUST TO TARRY A WHILE WITH YOU
IF THE LORD PERMIT.
/16-8- BUT I WILL TARRY AT EPHESUS UNTIL PENTECOST.
/16-9- FOR A GREAT DOOR AND EFFECTUAL IS OPENED UNTO ME
AND THERE ARE MANY ADVERSARIES.
/16-10- NOW IF TIMOTHEUS COME
SEE THAT HE MAY BE WITH YOU WITHOUT FEAR- FOR HE WORKETH THE WORK OF THE LORD
AS I ALSO DO.
/16-11- LET NO MAN THEREFORE DESPISE HIM- BUT CONDUCT HIM FORTH IN PEACE
THAT HE MAY COME UNTO ME- FOR I LOOK FOR HIM WITH THE BRETHREN.
/16-12- AS TOUCHING OUR BROTHER APOLLOS
I GREATLY DESIRED HIM TO COME UNTO YOU WITH THE BRETHREN- BUT HIS WILL WAS NOT AT ALL TO COME AT THIS TIME BUT HE WILL COME WHEN HE SHALL HAVE CONVENIENT TIME.
/16-13- WATCH YE
STAND FAST IN THE FAITH
QUIT YOU LIKE MEN
BE STRONG.
/16-14- LET ALL YOUR THINGS BE DONE WITH CHARITY.
/16-15- I BESEECH YOU
BRETHREN
(YE KNOW THE HOUSE OF STEPHANAS
THAT IT IS THE FIRSTFRUITS OF ACHAIA
AND THAT THEY HAVE ADDICTED THEMSELVES TO THE MINISTRY OF THE SAINTS
)
/16-16- THAT YE SUBMIT YOURSELVES UNTO SUCH
AND TO EVERY ONE THAT HELPETH WITH US
AND LABOURETH.
/16-17- I AM GLAD OF THE COMING OF STEPHANAS AND FORTUNATUS AND ACHAICUS- FOR THAT WHICH WAS LACKING ON YOUR PART THEY HAVE SUPPLIED.
/16-18- FOR THEY HAVE REFRESHED MY SPIRIT AND YOURS- THEREFORE ACKNOWLEDGE YE THEM THAT ARE SUCH.
/16-19- THE CHURCHES OF ASIA SALUTE YOU. AQUILA AND PRISCILLA SALUTE YOU MUCH IN THE LORD
WITH THE CHURCH THAT IS IN THEIR HOUSE.
/16-20- ALL THE BRETHREN GREET YOU. GREET YE ONE ANOTHER WITH AN HOLY KISS.
/16-21- THE SALUTATION OF ME PAUL WITH MINE OWN HAND.
/16-22- IF ANY MAN LOVE NOT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
LET HIM BE ANATHEMA MARANATHA.
/16-23- THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU.
/16-24- MY LOVE BE WITH YOU ALL IN CHRIST JESUS. AMEN.
