ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be
full of the knowledge of the LORD,
as the waters cover the sea.

==== <1CO1>
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.
==== <1CO2>
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.
==== <1CO3>
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.
==== <1CO4>
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?
==== <1CO5>
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.
==== <1CO6>
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.
==== <1CO7>
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.
==== <1CO8>
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.
==== <1CO9>
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.
==== <1CO10>
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 showed 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.
==== <1CO11>
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 show
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.
==== <1CO12>
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 show I
unto you a more
excellent way.
==== <1CO13>
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.
==== <1CO14>
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
my
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.
==== <1CO15>
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
in 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 show 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.
==== <1CO16>
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
Maranatha.
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.
