Colossians
CO1 1:1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of
God, and Sosthenes our brother,
CO1 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 their's and our's:
CO1 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord
Jesus Christ.
CO1 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is
given you by Jesus Christ;
CO1 1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in
all knowledge;
CO1 1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
CO1 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ:
CO1 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless
in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
CO1 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son
Jesus Christ our Lord.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized
in the name of Paul?
CO1 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
CO1 1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
CO1 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not
whether I baptized any other.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will
bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
CO1 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?
CO1 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.
CO1 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
CO1 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and
unto the Greeks foolishness;
CO1 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the
power of God, and the wisdom of God.
CO1 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of
God is stronger than men.
CO1 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:
CO1 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;
CO1 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:
CO1 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
CO1 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us
wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
CO1 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory
in the Lord.
CO1 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.
CO1 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus
Christ, and him crucified.
CO1 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
CO1 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:
CO1 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the
power of God.
CO1 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:
CO1 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:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit
searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged
of no man.
CO1 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
CO1 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as
unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are
ye not carnal?
CO1 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye
believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
CO1 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
CO1 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that
watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
CO1 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.
CO1 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are
God's building.
CO1 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.
CO1 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ.
CO1 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, stubble;
CO1 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.
CO1 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall
receive a reward.
CO1 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.
CO1 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you?
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is
written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
CO1 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are
vain.
CO1 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
CO1 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death,
or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
CO1 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
CO1 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and
stewards of the mysteries of God.
CO1 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
CO1 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.
CO1 4:4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he
that judgeth me is the Lord.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are
naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
CO1 4:12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless;
being persecuted, we suffer it:
CO1 4:13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and
are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
CO1 4:14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn
you.
CO1 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye
not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
CO1 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
CO1 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.
CO1 4:18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
CO1 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.
CO1 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
CO1 4:21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and
in the spirit of meekness?
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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,
CO1 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,
CO1 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.
CO1 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth
the whole lump?
CO1 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:
CO1 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.
CO1 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye
judge them that are within?
CO1 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among
yourselves that wicked person.
CO1 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the
unjust, and not before the saints?
CO1 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?
CO1 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that
pertain to this life?
CO1 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them
to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
CO1 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?
CO1 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the
unbelievers.
CO1 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?
CO1 6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
CO1 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,
CO1 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by
his own power.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
CO1 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but
he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
CO1 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?
CO1 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your
body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
CO1 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a
man not to touch a woman.
CO1 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own
wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
CO1 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise
also the wife unto the husband.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if
they abide even as I.
CO1 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry
than to burn.
CO1 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the
wife depart from her husband:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 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.
CO1 7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become
uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
CO1 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the
keeping of the commandments of God.
CO1 7:20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
CO1 7:21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest
be made free, use it rather.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
CO1 7:24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with
God.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed
from a wife? seek not a wife.
CO1 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.
CO1 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;
CO1 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;
CO1 7:31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of
this world passeth away.
CO1 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:
CO1 7:33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world,
how he may please his wife.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth
her not in marriage doeth better.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think
also that I have the Spirit of God.
CO1 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have
knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
CO1 8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet
as he ought to know.
CO1 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
CO1 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.
CO1 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in
earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a
stumblingblock to them that are weak.
CO1 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;
CO1 8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom
Christ died?
CO1 8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak
conscience, ye sin against Christ.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 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.
CO1 9:3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
CO1 9:4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
CO1 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?
CO1 9:6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
CO1 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?
CO1 9:8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
CO1 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?
CO1 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.
CO1 9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we
shall reap your carnal things?
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel
should live of the gospel.
CO1 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.
CO1 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!
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant
unto all, that I might gain the more.
CO1 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;
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 9:23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof
with you.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that
beateth the air:
CO1 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.
CO1 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;
CO1 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
CO1 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
CO1 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.
CO1 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were
overthrown in the wilderness.
CO1 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust
after evil things, as they also lusted.
CO1 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.
CO1 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and
fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
CO1 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were
destroyed of serpents.
CO1 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed
of the destroyer.
CO1 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.
CO1 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
CO1 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.
CO1 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
CO1 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
CO1 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?
CO1 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all
partakers of that one bread.
CO1 10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the
sacrifices partakers of the altar?
CO1 10:19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is
offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 10:22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
CO1 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.
CO1 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
CO1 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for
conscience sake:
CO1 10:26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
CO1 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.
CO1 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto
idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the
earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
CO1 10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my
liberty judged of another man's conscience?
CO1 10:30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that
for which I give thanks?
CO1 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all
to the glory of God.
CO1 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor
to the church of God:
CO1 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.
CO1 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
CO1 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and
keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
CO1 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.
CO1 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered,
dishonoureth his head.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 11:8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
CO1 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
CO1 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because
of the angels.
CO1 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman
without the man, in the Lord.
CO1 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the
woman; but all things of God.
CO1 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God
uncovered?
CO1 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long
hair, it is a shame unto him?
CO1 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is
given her for a covering.
CO1 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom,
neither the churches of God.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are
approved may be made manifest among you.
CO1 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat
the Lord's supper.
CO1 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one
is hungry, and another is drunken.
CO1 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.
CO1 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:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew
the Lord's death till he come.
CO1 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.
CO1 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup.
CO1 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh
damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
CO1 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
CO1 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
CO1 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should
not be condemned with the world.
CO1 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for
another.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you
ignorant.
CO1 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols,
even as ye were led.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
CO1 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
CO1 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which
worketh all in all.
CO1 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit
withal.
CO1 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the
word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
CO1 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing
by the same Spirit;
CO1 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:
CO1 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to
every man severally as he will.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
CO1 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?
CO1 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?
CO1 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole
were hearing, where were the smelling?
CO1 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as
it hath pleased him.
CO1 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
CO1 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more
feeble, are necessary:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members
should have the same care one for another.
CO1 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or
one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
CO1 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all
workers of miracles?
CO1 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all
interpret?
CO1 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more
excellent way.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
CO1 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil;
CO1 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
CO1 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth
all things.
CO1 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.
CO1 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
CO1 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part
shall be done away.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest
of these is charity.
CO1 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye
may prophesy.
CO1 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.
CO1 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and
exhortation, and comfort.
CO1 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that
prophesieth edifieth the church.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 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?
CO1 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself
to the battle?
CO1 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.
CO1 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none
of them is without signification.
CO1 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.
CO1 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek
that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
CO1 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he
may interpret.
CO1 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my
understanding is unfruitful.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
CO1 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
CO1 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.
CO1 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye
children, but in understanding be men.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 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:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church;
and let him speak to himself, and to God.
CO1 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
CO1 14:30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first
hold his peace.
CO1 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may
be comforted.
CO1 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
CO1 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all
churches of the saints.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
CO1 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.
CO1 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
CO1 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with
tongues.
CO1 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
CO1 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached
unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
CO1 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto
you, unless ye have believed in vain.
CO1 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;
CO1 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
CO1 15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
CO1 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.
CO1 15:7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
CO1 15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due
time.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye
believed.
CO1 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?
CO1 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not
risen:
CO1 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your
faith is also vain.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
CO1 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your
sins.
CO1 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
CO1 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most
miserable.
CO1 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits
of them that slept.
CO1 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection
of the dead.
CO1 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
CO1 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward
they that are Christ's at his coming.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
CO1 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
CO1 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I
die daily.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
CO1 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge
of God: I speak this to your shame.
CO1 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what
body do they come?
CO1 15:36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
CO1 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:
CO1 15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed
his own body.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption;
it is raised in incorruption:
CO1 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power:
CO1 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.
CO1 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the
last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
CO1 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is
natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
CO1 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord
from heaven.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly.
CO1 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
CO1 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
CO1 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.
CO1 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
CO1 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
CO1 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order
to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them
will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
CO1 16:4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
CO1 16:5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I
do pass through Macedonia.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
CO1 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many
adversaries.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
CO1 16:14 Let all your things be done with charity.
CO1 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,)
CO1 16:16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth
with us, and laboureth.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:18 For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore acknowledge
ye them that are such.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
CO1 16:21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
CO1 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema
Maranatha.
CO1 16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
CO1 16:24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
God, and Sosthenes our brother,
CO1 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 their's and our's:
CO1 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord
Jesus Christ.
CO1 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is
given you by Jesus Christ;
CO1 1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in
all knowledge;
CO1 1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
CO1 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ:
CO1 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless
in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
CO1 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son
Jesus Christ our Lord.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized
in the name of Paul?
CO1 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
CO1 1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
CO1 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not
whether I baptized any other.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will
bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
CO1 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?
CO1 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.
CO1 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
CO1 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and
unto the Greeks foolishness;
CO1 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the
power of God, and the wisdom of God.
CO1 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of
God is stronger than men.
CO1 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:
CO1 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;
CO1 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:
CO1 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
CO1 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us
wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
CO1 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory
in the Lord.
CO1 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.
CO1 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus
Christ, and him crucified.
CO1 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
CO1 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:
CO1 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the
power of God.
CO1 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:
CO1 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:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit
searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged
of no man.
CO1 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
CO1 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as
unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are
ye not carnal?
CO1 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye
believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
CO1 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
CO1 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that
watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
CO1 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.
CO1 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are
God's building.
CO1 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.
CO1 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ.
CO1 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, stubble;
CO1 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.
CO1 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall
receive a reward.
CO1 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.
CO1 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you?
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is
written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
CO1 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are
vain.
CO1 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
CO1 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death,
or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
CO1 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
CO1 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and
stewards of the mysteries of God.
CO1 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
CO1 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.
CO1 4:4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he
that judgeth me is the Lord.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are
naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
CO1 4:12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless;
being persecuted, we suffer it:
CO1 4:13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and
are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
CO1 4:14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn
you.
CO1 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye
not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
CO1 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
CO1 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.
CO1 4:18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
CO1 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.
CO1 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
CO1 4:21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and
in the spirit of meekness?
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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,
CO1 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,
CO1 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.
CO1 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth
the whole lump?
CO1 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:
CO1 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.
CO1 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye
judge them that are within?
CO1 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among
yourselves that wicked person.
CO1 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the
unjust, and not before the saints?
CO1 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?
CO1 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that
pertain to this life?
CO1 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them
to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
CO1 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?
CO1 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the
unbelievers.
CO1 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?
CO1 6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
CO1 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,
CO1 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by
his own power.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
CO1 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but
he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
CO1 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?
CO1 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your
body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
CO1 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a
man not to touch a woman.
CO1 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own
wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
CO1 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise
also the wife unto the husband.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if
they abide even as I.
CO1 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry
than to burn.
CO1 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the
wife depart from her husband:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 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.
CO1 7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become
uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
CO1 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the
keeping of the commandments of God.
CO1 7:20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
CO1 7:21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest
be made free, use it rather.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
CO1 7:24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with
God.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed
from a wife? seek not a wife.
CO1 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.
CO1 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;
CO1 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;
CO1 7:31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of
this world passeth away.
CO1 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:
CO1 7:33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world,
how he may please his wife.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth
her not in marriage doeth better.
CO1 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.
CO1 7:40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think
also that I have the Spirit of God.
CO1 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have
knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
CO1 8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet
as he ought to know.
CO1 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
CO1 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.
CO1 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in
earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a
stumblingblock to them that are weak.
CO1 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;
CO1 8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom
Christ died?
CO1 8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak
conscience, ye sin against Christ.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 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.
CO1 9:3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
CO1 9:4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
CO1 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?
CO1 9:6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
CO1 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?
CO1 9:8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
CO1 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?
CO1 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.
CO1 9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we
shall reap your carnal things?
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel
should live of the gospel.
CO1 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.
CO1 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!
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant
unto all, that I might gain the more.
CO1 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;
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 9:23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof
with you.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that
beateth the air:
CO1 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.
CO1 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;
CO1 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
CO1 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
CO1 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.
CO1 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were
overthrown in the wilderness.
CO1 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust
after evil things, as they also lusted.
CO1 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.
CO1 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and
fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
CO1 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were
destroyed of serpents.
CO1 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed
of the destroyer.
CO1 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.
CO1 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
CO1 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.
CO1 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
CO1 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
CO1 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?
CO1 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all
partakers of that one bread.
CO1 10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the
sacrifices partakers of the altar?
CO1 10:19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is
offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 10:22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
CO1 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.
CO1 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
CO1 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for
conscience sake:
CO1 10:26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
CO1 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.
CO1 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto
idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the
earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
CO1 10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my
liberty judged of another man's conscience?
CO1 10:30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that
for which I give thanks?
CO1 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all
to the glory of God.
CO1 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor
to the church of God:
CO1 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.
CO1 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
CO1 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and
keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
CO1 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.
CO1 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered,
dishonoureth his head.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 11:8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
CO1 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
CO1 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because
of the angels.
CO1 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman
without the man, in the Lord.
CO1 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the
woman; but all things of God.
CO1 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God
uncovered?
CO1 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long
hair, it is a shame unto him?
CO1 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is
given her for a covering.
CO1 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom,
neither the churches of God.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are
approved may be made manifest among you.
CO1 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat
the Lord's supper.
CO1 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one
is hungry, and another is drunken.
CO1 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.
CO1 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:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew
the Lord's death till he come.
CO1 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.
CO1 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup.
CO1 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh
damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
CO1 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
CO1 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
CO1 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should
not be condemned with the world.
CO1 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for
another.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you
ignorant.
CO1 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols,
even as ye were led.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
CO1 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
CO1 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which
worketh all in all.
CO1 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit
withal.
CO1 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the
word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
CO1 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing
by the same Spirit;
CO1 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:
CO1 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to
every man severally as he will.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
CO1 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?
CO1 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?
CO1 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole
were hearing, where were the smelling?
CO1 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as
it hath pleased him.
CO1 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
CO1 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more
feeble, are necessary:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members
should have the same care one for another.
CO1 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or
one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
CO1 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
CO1 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.
CO1 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all
workers of miracles?
CO1 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all
interpret?
CO1 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more
excellent way.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
CO1 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil;
CO1 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
CO1 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth
all things.
CO1 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.
CO1 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
CO1 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part
shall be done away.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest
of these is charity.
CO1 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye
may prophesy.
CO1 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.
CO1 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and
exhortation, and comfort.
CO1 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that
prophesieth edifieth the church.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 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?
CO1 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself
to the battle?
CO1 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.
CO1 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none
of them is without signification.
CO1 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.
CO1 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek
that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
CO1 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he
may interpret.
CO1 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my
understanding is unfruitful.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
CO1 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
CO1 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.
CO1 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye
children, but in understanding be men.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 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:
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church;
and let him speak to himself, and to God.
CO1 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
CO1 14:30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first
hold his peace.
CO1 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may
be comforted.
CO1 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
CO1 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all
churches of the saints.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
CO1 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.
CO1 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
CO1 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with
tongues.
CO1 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
CO1 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached
unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
CO1 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto
you, unless ye have believed in vain.
CO1 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;
CO1 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
CO1 15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
CO1 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.
CO1 15:7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
CO1 15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due
time.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye
believed.
CO1 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?
CO1 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not
risen:
CO1 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your
faith is also vain.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
CO1 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your
sins.
CO1 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
CO1 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most
miserable.
CO1 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits
of them that slept.
CO1 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection
of the dead.
CO1 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
CO1 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward
they that are Christ's at his coming.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
CO1 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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?
CO1 15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
CO1 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I
die daily.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
CO1 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge
of God: I speak this to your shame.
CO1 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what
body do they come?
CO1 15:36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
CO1 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:
CO1 15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed
his own body.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption;
it is raised in incorruption:
CO1 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power:
CO1 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.
CO1 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the
last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
CO1 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is
natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
CO1 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord
from heaven.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly.
CO1 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
CO1 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
CO1 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.
CO1 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality.
CO1 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.
CO1 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
CO1 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
CO1 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order
to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them
will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
CO1 16:4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
CO1 16:5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I
do pass through Macedonia.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
CO1 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many
adversaries.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
CO1 16:14 Let all your things be done with charity.
CO1 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,)
CO1 16:16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth
with us, and laboureth.
CO1 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.
CO1 16:18 For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore acknowledge
ye them that are such.
CO1 16:19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you
