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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
