1Corinthians 1
1. Paul <3972>, called <2822> [to be] an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> through <1223> the will <2307> of God <2316>, and Sosthenes <4988> [our] brother <0080>,
2 Unto the church <1577> of God <2316> which <3588> is at <1722> Corinth <2882>, to them that are sanctified <0037> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, called <2822> [to be] saints <0040>, with all <3956> that in every <3956> place <5117> call <1941> upon the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>, both <5037> theirs and ours <2257>:
3 Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
4 I thank <2168> my God <2316> always <3842> on <4012> your <5216> behalf <4012>, for the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325> you by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>;
5 That in every <3956> thing ye are enriched <4148> by him, in all <3956> utterance <3056>, and [in] all <3956> knowledge <1108>;
6 Even <2531> as the testimony <3142> of Christ <5547> was confirmed <0950> in you:
7 So <5620> that ye come <5302> behind <5302> in no <3367> gift <5486>; waiting <0553> for the coming <0602> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:
8 Who <3739> shall also <2532> confirm <0950> you unto the end <5056>, [that ye may be] blameless <0410> in the day <2250> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
9 God <2316> [is] faithful <4103>, by whom <3739> ye were called <2564> unto the fellowship <2842> of his Son <5207> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>.
10. Now <1161> I beseech <3870> you, brethren <0080>, by the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that ye all <3956> speak <3004> the same <0846> thing, and [that] there be no <3361> divisions <4978> among <1722> you; but [that] ye be perfectly <2675> joined <2675> together <2675> in the same <0846> mind <3563> and in the same <0846> judgment <1106>.
11 For it hath been declared <1213> unto me of you, my brethren <0080>, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe <5514>, that there are contentions <2054> among <1722> you.
12 Now <1161> this <5124> I say <3004>, that every <1538> one of you saith <3004>, I am <1510> of Paul <3972>; and I of Apollos <0625>; and I of Cephas <2786>; and I of Christ <5547>.
13 Is Christ <5547> divided <3307>? was Paul <3972> crucified <4717> for you? or <2228> were ye baptized <0907> in the name <3686> of Paul <3972>?
14. I thank <2168> God <2316> that I baptized <0907> none <3762> of you, but Crispus <2921> and Gaius <1050>;
15 Lest <3361> any <3387> should say <2036> that I had baptized <0907> in mine <1699> own name <3686>.
16 And I baptized <0907> also <2532> the household <3624> of Stephanas <4734>: besides <3063>, I know <1492> not whether <1487> I baptized <0907> any <1536> other <0243>.
17. For Christ <5547> sent <0649> me not to baptize <0907>, but to preach <2097> the gospel <2097>: not with wisdom <4678> of words <3056>, lest <3361> the cross <4716> of Christ <5547> should be made <2758> of none <2758> effect <2758>.
18 For the preaching <3056> of the cross <4716> is to them that perish <0622> foolishness <3472>; but unto us which are saved <4982> it is the power <1411> of God <2316>.
19 For it is written <1125>, I will destroy <0622> the wisdom <4678> of the wise <4680>, and will bring <0114> to nothing <0114> the understanding <4907> of the prudent <4908>.
20 Where <4226> [is] the wise <4680>? where <4226> [is] the scribe <1122>? where <4226> [is] the disputer <4804> of this <5127> world <0165>? hath not God <2316> made <3471> foolish <3471> the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <2889>?
21 For after <1894> that in the wisdom <4678> of God <2316> the world <2889> by wisdom <4678> knew <1097> not God <2316>, it pleased <2106> God <2316> by the foolishness <3472> of preaching <2782> to save <4982> them that believe <4100>.
22 For the Jews <2453> require <0154> a sign <4592>, and the Greeks <1672> seek <2212> after wisdom <4678>:
23 But we preach <2784> Christ <5547> crucified <4717>, unto the Jews <2453> a stumblingblock <4625>, and unto the Greeks <1672> foolishness <3472>;
24 But unto them which <3588> are called <2822>, both <5037> Jews <2453> and Greeks <1672>, Christ <5547> the power <1411> of God <2316>, and the wisdom <4678> of God <2316>.
25 Because <3754> the foolishness <3474> of God <2316> is wiser <4680> than men <0444>; and the weakness <0772> of God <2316> is stronger <2478> than men <0444>.
26 For ye see <0991> your <5216> calling <2821>, brethren <0080>, how that not many <4183> wise <4680> men after <2596> the flesh <4561>, not many <4183> mighty <1415>, not many <4183> noble <2104>, [are called]:
27 But God <2316> hath chosen <1586> the foolish <3474> things of the world <2889> to confound <2617> the wise <4680>; and God <2316> hath chosen <1586> the weak <0772> things of the world <2889> to confound <2617> the things which are mighty <2478>;
28 And base <0036> things of the world <2889>, and things which are despised <1848>, hath God <2316> chosen <1586>, [yea], and things which <3588> are not, to bring <2673> to nought <2673> things that are:
29 That no <3956> flesh <4561> should glory <2744> in his presence <1799>.
30 But of him are ye in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, who <3739> of God <2316> is made <1096> unto us wisdom <4678>, and righteousness <1343>, and sanctification <0038>, and redemption <0629>:
31 That, according <2531> as it is written <1125>, He that glorieth <2744>, let him glory <2744> in the Lord <2962>.
1Corinthians 2
1. And I, brethren <0080>, when I came <2064> to you, came <2064> not with excellency <5247> of speech <3056> or <2228> of wisdom <4678>, declaring <2605> unto you the testimony <3142> of God <2316>.
2 For I determined <2919> not to know <1492> any <5100> thing among <1722> you, save <1508> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and him crucified <4717>.
3 And I was with you in weakness <0769>, and in fear <5401>, and in much <4183> trembling <5156>.
4 And my speech <3056> and my preaching <2782> [was] not with enticing <3981> words <3056> of man's <0442> wisdom <4678>, but in demonstration <0585> of the Spirit <4151> and of power <1411>:
5 That your <5216> faith <4102> should not stand <1510> in the wisdom <4678> of men <0444>, but in the power <1411> of God <2316>.
6. Howbeit we speak <2980> wisdom <4678> among <1722> them that are perfect <5046>: yet <1161> not the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <0165>, nor <3761> of the princes <0758> of this <5127> world <0165>, that come <2673> to nought <2673>:
7 But we speak <2980> the wisdom <4678> of God <2316> in a mystery <3466>, [even] the hidden <0613> [wisdom], which <3739> God <2316> ordained <4304> before <4253> the world <0165> unto our glory <1391>:
8 Which <3739> none <3762> of the princes <0758> of this <5127> world <0165> knew <1097>: for had they known <1097> [it], they would not have crucified <4717> the Lord <2962> of glory <1391>.
9 But as it is written <1125>, Eye <3788> hath not seen <1492>, nor <3756> ear <3775> heard <0191>, neither <3756> have entered <0305> into <1909> the heart <2588> of man <0444>, the things which <3739> God <2316> hath prepared <2090> for them that love <0025> him.
10 But God <2316> hath revealed <0601> [them] unto us by his Spirit <4151>: for the Spirit <4151> searcheth <2045> all <3956> things, yea <2532>, the deep <0899> things of God <2316>.
11 For what <5101> man <0444> knoweth <1492> the things of a man <0444>, save <1508> the spirit <4151> of man <0444> which <3588> is in him? even <2532> so <3779> the things of God <2316> knoweth <1492> no <3762> man <3762>, but the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>.
12 Now <1161> we have received <2983>, not the spirit <4151> of the world <2889>, but the spirit <4151> which <3588> is of God <2316>; that we might know <1492> the things that are freely given <5483> to us of God <2316>.
13 Which <3739> things also <2532> we speak <2980>, not in the words <3056> which man's <0442> wisdom <4678> teacheth <1318>, but which the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> teacheth <1318>; comparing <4793> spiritual <4152> things with spiritual <4152>.
14 But the natural <5591> man <0444> receiveth <1209> not the things of the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>: for they are foolishness <3472> unto him: neither <3756> can <1410> he know <1097> [them], because <3754> they are spiritually <4153> discerned <0350>.
15 But he that is spiritual <4152> judgeth <0350> all <3956> things, yet <1161> he himself <0846> is judged <0350> of no <3762> man <3762>.
16 For who <5101> hath known <1097> the mind <3563> of the Lord <2962>, that he may instruct <4822> him? But we have <2192> the mind <3563> of Christ <5547>.
1Corinthians 3
1. And I, brethren <0080>, could <1410> not speak <2980> unto you as unto spiritual <4152>, but as unto carnal <4559>, [even] as unto babes <3516> in Christ <5547>.
2 I have fed <4222> you with milk <1051>, and not with meat <1033>: for hitherto <3768> ye were not able <1410> [to bear it], neither <3777> yet <2089> now <3568> are ye able <1410>.
3 For ye are yet <2089> carnal <4559>: for whereas <3699> [there is] among <1722> you envying <2205>, and strife <2054>, and divisions <1370>, are ye not carnal <4559>, and walk <4043> as men <0444>?
4 For while <3752> one <5100> saith <3004>, I am <1510> of Paul <3972>; and another <2087>, I [am] of Apollos <0625>; are ye not carnal <4559>?
5. Who <5101> then <3767> is Paul <3972>, and who <5101> [is] Apollos <0625>, but ministers <1249> by whom <3739> ye believed <4100>, even <2532> as the Lord <2962> gave <1325> to every <1538> man?
6 I have planted <5452>, Apollos <0625> watered <4222>; but God <2316> gave the increase <0837>.
7 So <5620> then neither <3777> is he that planteth <5452> any <5100> thing, neither <3777> he that watereth <4222>; but God <2316> that giveth the increase <0837>.
8 Now <1161> he that planteth <5452> and he that watereth <4222> are one <1520>: and every <1538> man shall receive <2983> his own <2398> reward <3408> according <2596> to his own <2398> labour <2873>.
9 For we are labourers <4904> together <4904> with God <2316>: ye are God's <2316> husbandry <1091>, [ye are] God's <2316> building <3619>.
10 According <2596> to the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325> unto me, as a wise <4680> masterbuilder <0753>, I have laid <5087> the foundation <2310>, and another <0243> buildeth <2026> thereon <2026>. But let every <1538> man take heed <0991> how <4459> he buildeth <2026> thereupon <2026>.
11. For other <0243> foundation <2310> can <1410> no <3762> man <3762> lay <5087> than <3844> that is laid <5087>, which <3739> is Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
12 Now <1161> if <1487> any <5100> man build <2026> upon this <5126> foundation <2310> gold <5557>, silver <0696>, precious <5093> stones <3037>, wood <3586>, hay <5528>, stubble <2562>;
13 Every <1538> man's work <2041> shall be made <1096> manifest <5318>: for the day <2250> shall declare <1213> it, because <3754> it shall be revealed <0601> by fire <4442>; and the fire <4442> shall try <1381> every <1538> man's work <2041> of what <3697> sort <3697> it is.
14 If <1487> any <1536> man's work <2041> abide <3306> which <3739> he hath built <2026> thereupon <2026>, he shall receive <2983> a reward <3408>.
15 If <1487> any <1536> man's work <2041> shall be burned <2618>, he shall suffer <2210> loss <2210>: but he himself <0846> shall be saved <4982>; yet <1161> so <3779> as by fire <4442>.
16. Know <1492> ye not that ye are the temple <3485> of God <2316>, and [that] the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> dwelleth <3611> in you?
17 If <1487> any <1536> man defile <5351> the temple <3485> of God <2316>, him shall God <2316> destroy <5351>; for the temple <3485> of God <2316> is holy <0040>, which <3748> [temple] ye are.
18. Let no <3367> man <3367> deceive <1818> himself <1438>. If <1487> any <1536> man among <1722> you seemeth <1380> to be wise <4680> in this <5129> world <0165>, let him become <1096> a fool <3474>, that he may be wise <4680>.
19 For the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <2889> is foolishness <3472> with God <2316>. For it is written <1125>, He taketh <1405> the wise <4680> in their own craftiness <3834>.
20 And again <3825>, The Lord <2962> knoweth <1097> the thoughts <1261> of the wise <4680>, that they are vain <3152>.
21. Therefore <5620> let no <3367> man <3367> glory <2744> in men <0444>. For all <3956> things are yours <5216>;
22 Whether <1535> Paul <3972>, or <1535> Apollos <0625>, or <1535> Cephas <2786>, or <1535> the world <2889>, or <1535> life <2222>, or <1535> death <2288>, or <1535> things present <1764>, or <1535> things to come <3195>; all <3956> are yours <5216>;
23 And ye are Christ's <5547>; and Christ <5547> [is] God's <2316>.
1Corinthians 4
1. Let a man <0444> so <3779> account <3049> of us, as of the ministers <5257> of Christ <5547>, and stewards <3623> of the mysteries <3466> of God <2316>.
2 Moreover <3063> it is required <2212> in stewards <3623>, that a man <5100> be found <2147> faithful <4103>.
3 But with me it is a very <1646> small <1646> thing that I should be judged <0350> of you, or <2228> of man's <0442> judgment <2250>: yea <0235>, I judge <0350> not mine <1683> own <1683> self <1683>.
4 For I know <4892> nothing <3762> by myself <1683>; yet <0235> am I not hereby <5129> justified <1344>: but he that judgeth <0350> me is the Lord <2962>.
5 Therefore <5620> judge <2919> nothing <3385> before <4253> the time <2540>, until <2193> the Lord <2962> come <2064>, who <3739> both <2532> will bring <5461> to light <5461> the hidden <2927> things of darkness <4655>, and will make <5319> manifest <5319> the counsels <1012> of the hearts <2588>: and then <5119> shall every <1538> man have <1096> praise <1868> of God <2316>.
6 And these <5023> things, brethren <0080>, I have in a figure <3345> transferred <3345> to myself <1683> and [to] Apollos <0625> for your <5209> sakes; that ye might learn <3129> in us not to think <5426> [of men] above <5228> that which <3739> is written <1125>, that no <3361> one <1520> of you be puffed <5448> up for one <1520> against <2596> another <2087>.
7. For who <5101> maketh <1252> thee to differ <1252> [from another]? and what <5101> hast <2192> thou that thou didst not receive <2983>? now <2532> if <1499> thou didst receive <2983> [it], why <5101> dost thou glory <2744>, as if thou hadst not received <2983> [it]?
8 Now <2236> ye are full <2880>, now <2236> ye are rich <4147>, ye have reigned <0936> as kings without <5565> us: and I would <3785> to God ye did reign <0936>, that we also <2532> might reign <4821> with you.
9 For I think <1380> that God <2316> hath set <0584> forth <0584> us the apostles <0652> last <2078>, as it were appointed <1935> to death <1935>: for we are made <1096> a spectacle <2302> unto the world <2889>, and to angels <0032>, and to men <0444>.
10 We [are] fools <3474> for Christ's <5547> sake, but ye [are] wise <5429> in Christ <5547>; we [are] weak <0772>, but ye [are] strong <2478>; ye [are] honourable <1741>, but we [are] despised <0820>.
11 Even unto this <3588> present <0737> hour <5610> we both <2532> hunger <3983>, and thirst <1372>, and are naked <1130>, and are buffeted <2852>, and have no <0790> certain <0790> dwellingplace <0790>;
12 And labour <2872>, working <2038> with our own <2398> hands <5495>: being reviled <3058>, we bless <2127>; being persecuted <1377>, we suffer <0430> it:
13 Being defamed <0987>, we intreat <3870>: we are made <1096> as the filth <4027> of the world <2889>, [and are] the offscouring <4067> of all <3956> things unto this <0737> day <0737>.
14. I write <1125> not these <5023> things to shame <1788> you, but as my beloved <0027> sons <5043> I warn <3560> [you].
15 For though <1437> ye have <2192> ten <3463> thousand <3463> instructors <3807> in Christ <5547>, yet <0235> [have ye] not many <4183> fathers <3962>: for in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> I have begotten <1080> you through <1223> the gospel <2098>.
16 Wherefore <3767> I beseech <3870> you, be ye followers <3402> of me.
17. For this <5124> cause <1223> have I sent unto you Timotheus <5095>, who <3739> is my beloved <0027> son <5043>, and faithful <4103> in the Lord <2962>, who <3739> shall bring <0363> you into remembrance <0363> of my ways <3598> which <3588> be in Christ <5547>, as I teach <1321> every <3837> where <3837> in every <3956> church <1577>.
18 Now <1161> some <5100> are puffed <5448> up, as though I would not come <2064> to you.
19 But I will come <2064> to you shortly <5030>, if <1437> the Lord <2962> will <2309>, and will know <1097>, not the speech <3056> of them which are puffed <5448> up, but the power <1411>.
20 For the kingdom <0932> of God <2316> [is] not in word <3056>, but in power <1411>.
21 What <5101> will <2309> ye? shall I come <2064> unto you with a rod <4464>, or <2228> in love <0026>, and [in] the spirit <4151> of meekness <4236>?
1Corinthians 5
1. It is reported <0191> commonly <3654> [that there is] fornication <4202> among <1722> you, and such <5108> fornication <4202> as is not so <3761> much <3761> as named <3687> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>, that one <5100> should have <2192> his father's <3962> wife <1135>.
2 And ye are puffed <5448> up, and have not rather <3123> mourned <3996>, that he that hath done <4160> this <5124> deed <2041> might be taken <1808> away from among <3319> you.
3 For I verily <3303>, as absent <0548> in body <4983>, but present <3918> in spirit <4151>, have judged <2919> already <2235>, as though I were present <3918>, [concerning] him that hath so <3779> done <2716> this <5124> deed,
4 In the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, when ye are gathered <4863> together <4863>, and my spirit <4151>, with the power <1411> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>,
5 To deliver <3860> such <5108> an one unto Satan <4567> for the destruction <3639> of the flesh <4561>, that the spirit <4151> may be saved <4982> in the day <2250> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.
6 Your <5216> glorying <2745> [is] not good <2570>. Know <1492> ye not that a little <3398> leaven <2219> leaveneth <2220> the whole <3650> lump <5445>?
7. Purge <1571> out therefore <3767> the old <3820> leaven <2219>, that ye may be a new <3501> lump <5445>, as ye are unleavened <0106>. For even <2532> Christ <5547> our passover <3957> is sacrificed <2380> for us:
8 Therefore <5620> let us keep <1858> the feast <1858>, not with old <3820> leaven <2219>, neither <3366> with the leaven <2219> of malice <2549> and wickedness <4189>; but with the unleavened <0106> [bread] of sincerity <1505> and truth <0225>.
9. I wrote <1125> unto you in an epistle <1992> not to company <4874> with fornicators <4205>:
10 Yet <2532> not altogether <3843> with the fornicators <4205> of this <5127> world <2889>, or <2228> with the covetous <4123>, or <2228> extortioners <0727>, or <2228> with idolaters <1496>; for then <0686> must <3781> ye needs go <1831> out of the world <2889>.
11 But now <3570> I have written <1125> unto you not to keep <4874> company <4874>, if <1437> any <5100> man that is called <3687> a brother <0080> be a fornicator <4205>, or <2228> covetous <4123>, or <2228> an idolater <1496>, or <2228> a railer <3060>, or <2228> a drunkard <3183>, or <2228> an extortioner <0727>; with such <5108> an one no not to eat <4906>.
12 For what <5101> have I to do to judge <2919> them also <2532> that are without <1854>? do not ye judge <2919> them that are within <2080>?
13 But them that are without <1854> God <2316> judgeth <2919>. Therefore put <1808> away <1808> from among yourselves <0846> that wicked <4190> person.
1Corinthians 6
1. Dare <5111> any <5100> of you, having <2192> a matter <4229> against <4314> another <2087>, go to law <2919> before <1909> the unjust <0094>, and not before <1909> the saints <0040>?
2 Do ye not know <1492> that the saints <0040> shall judge <2919> the world <2889>? and if <1487> the world <2889> shall be judged <2919> by you, are ye unworthy <0370> to judge <2922> the smallest <1646> matters?
3 Know <1492> ye not that we shall judge <2919> angels <0032>? how <3386> much <3386> more <1065> things that pertain to this life <0982>?
4 If <1437> then <3767> ye have <2192> judgments <2922> of things pertaining to this life <0982>, set <2523> them to judge <2919> who are least <1848> esteemed <1848> in the church <1577>.
5 I speak <3004> to your <5213> shame <1791>. Is it so <3779>, that there is not a wise <4680> man among <1722> you? no, not one that shall be able <1410> to judge <1252> between <3319> his brethren <0080>?
6 But brother <0080> goeth to law <2919> with brother <0080>, and that before <1909> the unbelievers <0571>.
7 Now <2236> therefore <3767> there is utterly <3654> a fault <2275> among <1722> you, because <3754> ye go to law <2917> one <1438> with another <1438>. Why <1302> do ye not rather <3123> take wrong <0091>? why <1302> do ye not rather <3123> [suffer yourselves to] be defrauded <0650>?
8 Nay <0235>, ye do wrong <0091>, and defraud <0650>, and that [your] brethren <0080>.
9. Know <1492> ye not that the unrighteous <0094> shall not inherit <2816> the kingdom <0932> of God <2316>? Be not deceived <4105>: neither <3777> fornicators <4205>, nor <3777> idolaters <1496>, nor <3777> adulterers <3432>, nor <3777> effeminate <3120>, nor <3777> abusers <0783> of themselves with mankind <0733>,
10 Nor <3777> thieves <2812>, nor <3777> covetous <4123>, nor <3756> drunkards <3183>, nor <3756> revilers <3060>, nor <3756> extortioners <0727>, shall inherit <2816> the kingdom <0932> of God <2316>.
11 And such <5023> were some <5100> of you: but ye are washed <0628>, but ye are sanctified <0037>, but ye are justified <1344> in the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and by the Spirit <4151> of our God <2316>.
12. All <3956> things are lawful <1832> unto me, but all <3956> things are not expedient <4851>: all <3956> things are lawful <1832> for me, but I will not be brought <1850> under <5259> the power <1850> of any <5100>.
13 Meats <1033> for the belly <2836>, and the belly <2836> for meats <1033>: but God <2316> shall destroy <2673> both <2532> it and them. Now <1161> the body <4983> [is] not for fornication <4202>, but for the Lord <2962>; and the Lord <2962> for the body <4983>.
14 And God <2316> hath both <2532> raised <1453> up the Lord <2962>, and will also <2532> raise <1825> up us by his own <0848> power <1411>.
15 Know <1492> ye not that your <5216> bodies <4983> are the members <3196> of Christ <5547>? shall I then <3767> take <0142> the members <3196> of Christ <5547>, and make <4160> [them] the members <3196> of an harlot <4204>? God <1096> forbid <1096>.
16 What <2228>? know <1492> ye not that he which is joined <2853> to an harlot <4204> is one <1520> body <4983>? for two <1417>, saith <5346> he, shall be one <3391> flesh <4561>.
