1CO-1:1 Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through

the will of

God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,

1CO-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:

1CO-1:3 Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father,

and [from] the

Lord Jesus Christ.

1CO-1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of

God which is

given you by Jesus Christ;

1CO-1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all

utterance, and

[in] all knowledge;

1CO-1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

1CO-1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the

coming of our Lord

Jesus Christ:

1CO-1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may

be] blameless

in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1CO-1:9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the

fellowship of his

Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were

ye baptized

in the name of Paul?

1CO-1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus

and Gaius;

1CO-1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own

name.

1CO-1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas:

besides, I know not

whether I baptized any other.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the

wise, and will

bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

1CO-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?

1CO-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.

1CO-1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after

wisdom:

1CO-1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a

stumblingblock, and

unto the Greeks foolishness;

1CO-1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks,

Christ the

power of God, and the wisdom of God.

1CO-1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and

the weakness

of God is stronger than men.

1CO-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]:

1CO-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;

1CO-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:

1CO-1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

1CO-1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made

unto us

wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

1CO-1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth,

let him glory in

the Lord.

1CO-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.

1CO-2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save

Jesus Christ,

and him crucified.

1CO-2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in

much trembling.

1CO-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:

1CO-2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men,

but in the

power of God.

1CO-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:

1CO-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:

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit:

for the Spirit

searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he

himself is

judged of no man.

1CO-2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may

instruct him?

But we have the mind of Christ.

1CO-3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto

spiritual, but as

unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ.

1CO-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.

1CO-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?

1CO-3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am]

of Apollos;

are ye not carnal?

1CO-3:5 Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers

by whom ye

believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

1CO-3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the

increase.

1CO-3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither

he that

watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

1CO-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.

1CO-3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's

husbandry, [ye

are] God's building.

1CO-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.

1CO-3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid,

which is

Jesus Christ.

1CO-3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver,

precious

stones, wood, hay, stubble;

1CO-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.

1CO-3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon,

he shall

receive a reward.

1CO-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.

1CO-3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that]

the Spirit of

God dwelleth in you?

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.

For it is

written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

1CO-3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise,

that they are

vain.

1CO-3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are

yours;

1CO-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;

1CO-3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.

1CO-4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of

Christ, and

stewards of the mysteries of God.

1CO-4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be

found faithful.

1CO-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.

1CO-4:4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby

justified: but he

that judgeth me is the Lord.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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]?

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst,

and are

naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

1CO-4:12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled,

we bless;

being persecuted, we suffer it:

1CO-4:13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of

the world,

[and are] the offscouring of all things unto this day.

1CO-4:14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my

beloved sons I warn

[you].

1CO-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.

1CO-4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

1CO-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.

1CO-4:18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to

you.

1CO-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.

1CO-4:20 For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power.

1CO-4:21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in

love, and [in]

the spirit of meekness?

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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,

1CO-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,

1CO-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.

1CO-5:6 Your glorying [is] not good. Know ye not that a little

leaven

leaveneth the whole lump?

1CO-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:

1CO-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.

1CO-5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with

fornicators:

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are

without? do not ye

judge them that are within?

1CO-5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put

away from among

yourselves that wicked person.

1CO-6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to

law before

the unjust, and not before the saints?

1CO-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?

1CO-6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more

things that

pertain to this life?

1CO-6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this

life, set them

to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

1CO-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?

1CO-6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before

the

unbelievers.

1CO-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?

1CO-6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.

1CO-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,

1CO-6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,

nor

extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also

raise up us by

his own power.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

1CO-6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is

without the body;

but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

1CO-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?

1CO-6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God

in your body,

and in your spirit, which are God's.

1CO-7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It

is] good for

a man not to touch a woman.

1CO-7:2 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man

have his own

wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

1CO-7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence:

and likewise

also the wife unto the husband.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-7:6 But I speak this by permission, [and] not of

commandment.

1CO-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.

1CO-7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good

for them if

they abide even as I.

1CO-7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is

better to marry

than to burn.

1CO-7:10 And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the

Lord, Let not

the wife depart from [her] husband:

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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?

1CO-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.

1CO-7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become

uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be

circumcised.

1CO-7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing,

but the

keeping of the commandments of God.

1CO-7:20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was

called.

1CO-7:21 Art thou called [being] a servant? care not for it:

but if thou

mayest be made free, use [it] rather.

1CO-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.

1CO-7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of

men.

1CO-7:24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein

abide with

God.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art

thou loosed

from a wife? seek not a wife.

1CO-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.

1CO-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;

1CO-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;

1CO-7:31 And they that use this world, as not abusing [it]: for

the fashion

of this world passeth away.

1CO-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:

1CO-7:33 But he that is married careth for the things that are

of the world,

how he may please [his] wife.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-7:38 So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well;

but he that

giveth [her] not in marriage doeth better.

1CO-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.

1CO-7:40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment:

and I think

also that I have the Spirit of God.

1CO-8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that

we all have

knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

1CO-8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he

knoweth nothing

yet as he ought to know.

1CO-8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

1CO-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.

1CO-8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in

heaven or in

earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours

become a

stumblingblock to them that are weak.

1CO-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;

1CO-8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother

perish, for whom

Christ died?

1CO-8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound

their weak

conscience, ye sin against Christ.

1CO-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.

1CO-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?

1CO-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.

1CO-9:3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,

1CO-9:4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?

1CO-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?

1CO-9:6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear

working?

1CO-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?

1CO-9:8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the

same also?

1CO-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?

1CO-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.

1CO-9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, [is it] a

great thing if

we shall reap your carnal things?

1CO-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.

1CO-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?

1CO-9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach

the gospel

should live of the gospel.

1CO-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.

1CO-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!

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-9:19 For though I be free from all [men], yet have I made

myself servant

unto all, that I might gain the more.

1CO-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;

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-9:23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be

partaker

thereof with [you].

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I,

not as one that

beateth the air:

1CO-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.

1CO-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;

1CO-10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in

the sea;

1CO-10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

1CO-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.

1CO-10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for

they were

overthrown in the wilderness.

1CO-10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we

should not lust

after evil things, as they also lusted.

1CO-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.

1CO-10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them

committed, and

fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

1CO-10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also

tempted, and were

destroyed of serpents.

1CO-10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and

were

destroyed of the destroyer.

1CO-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.

1CO-10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed

lest he fall.

1CO-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].

1CO-10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

1CO-10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

1CO-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?

1CO-10:17 For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body:

for we are all

partakers of that one bread.

1CO-10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat

of the

sacrifices partakers of the altar?

1CO-10:19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that

which is

offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-10:22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger

than he?

1CO-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.

1CO-10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's

[wealth].

1CO-10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, [that] eat,

asking no question

for conscience sake:

1CO-10:26 For the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness

thereof.

1CO-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.

1CO-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:

1CO-10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other:

for why is my

liberty judged of another [man's] conscience?

1CO-10:30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken

of for that

for which I give thanks?

1CO-10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye

do, do all to

the glory of God.

1CO-10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the

Gentiles, nor to

the church of God:

1CO-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.

1CO-11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.

1CO-11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all

things, and

keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you.

1CO-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.

1CO-11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head

covered,

dishonoureth his head.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the

man.

1CO-11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the

woman for the

man.

1CO-11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her]

head because

of the angels.

1CO-11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman,

neither the

woman without the man, in the Lord.

1CO-11:12 For as the woman [is] of the man, even so [is] the

man also by the

woman; but all things of God.

1CO-11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray

unto God

uncovered?

1CO-11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man

have long

hair, it is a shame unto him?

1CO-11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her:

for [her] hair

is given her for a covering.

1CO-11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no

such custom,

neither the churches of God.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they

which are

approved may be made manifest among you.

1CO-11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place,

[this] is not to

eat the Lord's supper.

1CO-11:21 For in eating every one taketh before [other] his own

supper: and

one is hungry, and another is drunken.

1CO-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.

1CO-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:

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup,

ye do shew

the Lord's death till he come.

1CO-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.

1CO-11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of

[that] bread,

and drink of [that] cup.

1CO-11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth

and drinketh

damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

1CO-11:30 For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you,

and many

sleep.

1CO-11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be

judged.

1CO-11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord,

that we

should not be condemned with the world.

1CO-11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat,

tarry one for

another.

1CO-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.

1CO-12:1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would

not have you

ignorant.

1CO-12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these

dumb idols,

even as ye were led.

1CO-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.

1CO-12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same

Spirit.

1CO-12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the

same Lord.

1CO-12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the

same God

which worketh all in all.

1CO-12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every

man to profit

withal.

1CO-12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;

to another the

word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

1CO-12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the

gifts of healing

by the same Spirit;

1CO-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:

1CO-12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame

Spirit, dividing to

every man severally as he will.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.

1CO-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?

1CO-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?

1CO-12:17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the

hearing? If the

whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?

1CO-12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in

the body, as

it hath pleased him.

1CO-12:19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the

body?

1CO-12:20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.

1CO-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.

1CO-12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem

to be more

feeble, are necessary:

1CO-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.

1CO-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:

1CO-12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but

[that] the members

should have the same care one for another.

1CO-12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer

with it; or

one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

1CO-12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in

particular.

1CO-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.

1CO-12:29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all

teachers? [are]

all workers of miracles?

1CO-12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with

tongues? do all

interpret?

1CO-12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I

unto you a more

excellent way.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-13:4 Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth

not; charity

vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

1CO-13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,

is not easily

provoked, thinketh no evil;

1CO-13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

1CO-13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all

things,

endureth all things.

1CO-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.

1CO-13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

1CO-13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that

which is in part

shall be done away.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three;

but the greatest

of these [is] charity.

1CO-14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts],

but rather that

ye may prophesy.

1CO-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.

1CO-14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [to]

edification, and

exhortation, and comfort.

1CO-14:4 He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth

himself; but he

that prophesieth edifieth the church.

1CO-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.

1CO-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?

1CO-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?

1CO-14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall

prepare

himself to the battle?

1CO-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.

1CO-14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the

world, and

none of them [is] without signification.

1CO-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.

1CO-14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual

[gifts], seek

that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

1CO-14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [unknown]

tongue pray that he

may interpret.

1CO-14:14 For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit

prayeth, but my

understanding is unfruitful.

1CO-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.

1CO-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?

1CO-14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is

not edified.

1CO-14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

1CO-14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with

understanding, that [by my voice] I might teach others also,

than ten thousand

words in an [unknown] tongue.

1CO-14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit

in malice be ye

children, but in understanding be men.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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?

1CO-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:

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence

in the church;

and let him speak to himself, and to God.

1CO-14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the

other judge.

1CO-14:30 If [any thing] be revealed to another that sitteth by,

let the

first hold his peace.

1CO-14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may

learn, and all may

be comforted.

1CO-14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the

prophets.

1CO-14:33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of

peace, as in all

churches of the saints.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it

unto you only?

1CO-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.

1CO-14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

1CO-14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid

not to speak

with tongues.

1CO-14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

1CO-15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel

which I preached

unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

1CO-15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what

I preached

unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

1CO-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;

1CO-15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the

third day

according to the scriptures:

1CO-15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

1CO-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.

1CO-15:7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the

apostles.

1CO-15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born

out of due

time.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-15:11 Therefore whether [it were] I or they, so we preach,

and so ye

believed.

1CO-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?

1CO-15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is

Christ not

risen:

1CO-15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching

vain, and your

faith [is] also vain.

1CO-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.

1CO-15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

1CO-15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye

are yet in

your sins.

1CO-15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are

perished.

1CO-15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are

of all men most

miserable.

1CO-15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become

the firstfruits

of them that slept.

1CO-15:21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the

resurrection

of the dead.

1CO-15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all

be made alive.

1CO-15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the

firstfruits; afterward

they that are Christ's at his coming.

1CO-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.

1CO-15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under

his feet.

1CO-15:26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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?

1CO-15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

1CO-15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ

Jesus our Lord,

I die daily.

1CO-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.

1CO-15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good

manners.

1CO-15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have

not the

knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame.

1CO-15:35 But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up?

and with what

body do they come?

1CO-15:36 [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened,

except it

die:

1CO-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]:

1CO-15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and

to every seed

his own body.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-15:42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown

corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

1CO-15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is

sown in

weakness; it is raised in power:

1CO-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.

1CO-15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a

living soul;

the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.

1CO-15:46 Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but

that which is

natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

1CO-15:47 The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second

man [is] the

Lord from heaven.

1CO-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.

1CO-15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we

shall also bear

the image of the heavenly.

1CO-15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot

inherit the

kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

1CO-15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,

but we shall

all be changed,

1CO-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.

1CO-15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and

this mortal

[must] put on immortality.

1CO-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.

1CO-15:55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is]

thy victory?

1CO-15:56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin

[is] the law.

1CO-15:57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory

through our

Lord Jesus Christ.

1CO-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.

1CO-16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I

have given order

to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

1CO-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.

1CO-16:3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by [your]

letters, them

will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

1CO-16:4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with

me.

1CO-16:5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through

Macedonia: for I

do pass through Macedonia.

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

1CO-16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and

[there are]

many adversaries.

1CO-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].

1CO-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.

1CO-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.

1CO-16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men,

be strong.

1CO-16:14 Let all your things be done with charity.

1CO-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,)

1CO-16:16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one

that helpeth

with [us], and laboureth.

1CO-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.

1CO-16:18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours:

therefore acknowledge

ye them that are such.

1CO-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.

1CO-16:20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with

an holy kiss.

1CO-16:21 The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand.

1CO-16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be

Anathema

Maran-atha.

1CO-16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.

1CO-16:24 My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
