was Paul crucified for you? or were ye + baptized in the name of Paul? + +46:001:014 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and + Gaius; + +46:001:015 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. + +46:001:016 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I + know not whether I baptized any other. + +46:001:017 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. + +46:001:018 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish + foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of + God. + +46:001:019 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and + will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. + +46:001:020 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? + +46:001:021 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. + +46:001:022 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: + +46:001:023 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a + stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; + +46:001:024 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ + the power of God, and the wisdom of God. + +46:001:025 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the + weakness of God is stronger than men. + +46:001:026 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men + after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: + +46:001:027 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; + +46:001:028 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: + +46:001:029 That no flesh should glory in his presence. + +46:001:030 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us + wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: + +46:001:031 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him + glory in the Lord. + +46:002:001 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency + of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of + God. + +46:002:002 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus + Christ, and him crucified. + +46:002:003 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much + trembling. + +46:002:004 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of + man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: + +46:002:005 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in + the power of God. + +46:002:006 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: + +46:002:007 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden + wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: + +46:002:008 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they + known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. + +46:002:009 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. + +46:002:010 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the + Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. + +46:002:011 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. + +46:002:012 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. + +46:002:013 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. + +46:002:014 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. + +46:002:015 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is + judged of no man. + +46:002:016 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct + him? But we have the mind of Christ. + +46:003:001 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, + but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. + +46:003:002 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. + +46:003:003 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, + and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? + +46:003:004 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of + Apollos; are ye not carnal? + +46:003:005 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye + believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? + +46:003:006 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. + +46:003:007 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that + watereth; but God that giveth the increase. + +46:003:008 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every + man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. + +46:003:009 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's + husbandry, ye are God's building. + +46:003:010 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. + +46:003:011 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which + is Jesus Christ. + +46:003:012 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, + precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; + +46:003:013 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. + +46:003:014 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he + shall receive a reward. + +46:003:015 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but + he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. + +46:003:016 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit + of God dwelleth in you? + +46:003:017 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; + for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. + +46:003:018 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. + +46:003:019 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it + is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. + +46:003:020 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that + they are vain. + +46:003:021 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; + +46:003:022 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or + death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; + +46:003:023 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. + +46:004:001 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and + stewards of the mysteries of God. + +46:004:002 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found + faithful. + +46:004:003 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. + +46:004:004 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: + but he that judgeth me is the Lord. + +46:004:005 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. + +46:004:006 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. + +46:004:007 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? + +46:004:008 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. + +46:004:009 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. + +46:004:010 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. + +46:004:011 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and + are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain + dwellingplace; + +46:004:012 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we + bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: + +46:004:013 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the + world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. + +46:004:014 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons + I warn you. + +46:004:015 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. + +46:004:016 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. + +46:004:017 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. + +46:004:018 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. + +46:004:019 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. + +46:004:020 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. + +46:004:021 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, + and in the spirit of meekness? + +46:005:001 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. + +46:005:002 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he + that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. + +46:005:003 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, + +46:005:004 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered + together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus + Christ, + +46:005:005 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. + +46:005:006 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven + leaveneth the whole lump? + +46:005:007 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: + +46:005:008 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. + +46:005:009 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with + fornicators: + +46:005:010 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. + +46:005:011 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. + +46:005:012 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do + not ye judge them that are within? + +46:005:013 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from + among yourselves that wicked person. + +46:006:001 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law + before the unjust, and not before the saints? + +46:006:002 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? + +46:006:003 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things + that pertain to this life? + +46:006:004 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, + set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. + +46:006:005 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? + +46:006:006 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the + unbelievers. + +46:006:007 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? + +46:006:008 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. + +46:006:009 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, + +46:006:010 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor + extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. + +46:006:011 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. + +46:006:012 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. + +46:006:013 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. + +46:006:014 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up + us by his own power. + +46:006:015 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. + +46:006:016 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one + body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. + +46:006:017 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. + +46:006:018 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the + body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his + own body. + +46:006:019 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? + +46:006:020 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your + body, and in your spirit, which are God's. + +46:007:001 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good + for a man not to touch a woman. + +46:007:002 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own + wife, and let every woman have her own husband. + +46:007:003 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and + likewise also the wife unto the husband. + +46:007:004 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. + +46:007:005 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. + +46:007:006 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. + +46:007:007 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. + +46:007:008 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for + them if they abide even as I. + +46:007:009 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better + to marry than to burn. + +46:007:010 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let + not the wife depart from her husband: + +46:007:011 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be + reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away + his wife. + +46:007:012 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. + +46:007:013 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if + he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. + +46:007:014 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. + +46:007:015 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. + +46:007:016 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy + husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save + thy wife? + +46:007:017 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. + +46:007:018 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become + uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be + circumcised. + +46:007:019 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but + the keeping of the commandments of God. + +46:007:020 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. + +46:007:021 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou + mayest be made free, use it rather. + +46:007:022 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. + +46:007:023 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. + +46:007:024 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide + with God. + +46:007:025 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. + +46:007:026 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present + distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. + +46:007:027 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou + loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. + +46:007:028 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. + +46:007:029 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, + that both they that have wives be as though they had none; + +46:007:030 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; + +46:007:031 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the + fashion of this world passeth away. + +46:007:032 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: + +46:007:033 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the + world, how he may please his wife. + +46:007:034 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. + +46:007:035 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. + +46:007:036 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. + +46:007:037 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. + +46:007:038 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that + giveth her not in marriage doeth better. + +46:007:039 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. + +46:007:040 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I + think also that I have the Spirit of God. + +46:008:001 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all + have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. + +46:008:002 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth + nothing yet as he ought to know. + +46:008:003 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. + +46:008:004 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. + +46:008:005 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or + in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) + +46:008:006 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. + +46:008:007 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. + +46:008:008 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. + +46:008:009 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become + a stumblingblock to them that are weak. + +46:008:010 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; + +46:008:011 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for + whom Christ died? + +46:008:012 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak + conscience, ye sin against Christ. + +46:008:013 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no + flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to + offend. + +46:009:001 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? + +46:009:002 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. + +46:009:003 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this, + +46:009:004 Have we not power to eat and to drink? + +46:009:005 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? + +46:009:006 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? + +46:009:007 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? + +46:009:008 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same + also? + +46:009:009 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? + +46:009:010 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. + +46:009:011 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing + if we shall reap your carnal things? + +46:009:012 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. + +46:009:013 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? + +46:009:014 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the + gospel should live of the gospel. + +46:009:015 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. + +46:009:016 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! + +46:009:017 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. + +46:009:018 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. + +46:009:019 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself + servant unto all, that I might gain the more. + +46:009:020 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; + +46:009:021 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. + +46:009:022 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. + +46:009:023 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker + thereof with you. + +46:009:024 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one + receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. + +46:009:025 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. + +46:009:026 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one + that beateth the air: + +46:009:027 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. + +46:010:001 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; + +46:010:002 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; + +46:010:003 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; + +46:010:004 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of + that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was + Christ. + +46:010:005 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were + overthrown in the wilderness. + +46:010:006 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should + not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. + +46:010:007 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. + +46:010:008 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, + and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. + +46:010:009 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and + were destroyed of serpents. + +46:010:010 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were + destroyed of the destroyer. + +46:010:011 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. + +46:010:012 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he + fall. + +46:010:013 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. + +46:010:014 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. + +46:010:015 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. + +46:010:016 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? + +46:010:017 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all + partakers of that one bread. + +46:010:018 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the + sacrifices partakers of the altar? + +46:010:019 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is + offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? + +46:010:020 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. + +46:010:021 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. + +46:010:022 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? + +46:010:023 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not + expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify + not. + +46:010:024 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. + +46:010:025 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no + question for conscience sake: + +46:010:026 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. + +46:010:027 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. + +46:010:028 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: + +46:010:029 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is + my liberty judged of another man's conscience? + +46:010:030 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for + that for which I give thanks? + +46:010:031 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do + all to the glory of God. + +46:010:032 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, + nor to the church of God: + +46:010:033 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own + profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. + +46:011:001 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. + +46:011:002 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, + and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. + +46:011:003 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. + +46:011:004 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, + dishonoureth his head. + +46:011:005 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. + +46:011:006 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. + +46:011:007 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. + +46:011:008 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. + +46:011:009 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for + the man. + +46:011:010 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head + because of the angels. + +46:011:011 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the + woman without the man, in the Lord. + +46:011:012 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the + woman; but all things of God. + +46:011:013 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God + uncovered? + +46:011:014 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have + long hair, it is a shame unto him? + +46:011:015 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her + hair is given her for a covering. + +46:011:016 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, + neither the churches of God. + +46:011:017 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye + come together not for the better, but for the worse. + +46:011:018 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear + that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. + +46:011:019 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are + approved may be made manifest among you. + +46:011:020 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to + eat the Lord's supper. + +46:011:021 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: + and one is hungry, and another is drunken. + +46:011:022 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. + +46:011:023 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: + +46:011:024 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. + +46:011:025 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. + +46:011:026 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do + shew the Lord's death till he come. + +46:011:027 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. + +46:011:028 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that + bread, and drink of that cup. + +46:011:029 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and + drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. + +46:011:030 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many + sleep. + +46:011:031 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. + +46:011:032 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we + should not be condemned with the world. + +46:011:033 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry + one for another. + +46:011:034 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. + +46:012:001 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you + ignorant. + +46:012:002 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb + idols, even as ye were led. + +46:012:003 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. + +46:012:004 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. + +46:012:005 And there are differences of administrations, but the same + Lord. + +46:012:006 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same + God which worketh all in all. + +46:012:007 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to + profit withal. + +46:012:008 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to + another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; + +46:012:009 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of + healing by the same Spirit; + +46:012:010 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: + +46:012:011 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, + dividing to every man severally as he will. + +46:012:012 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. + +46:012:013 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. + +46:012:014 For the body is not one member, but many. + +46:012:015 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of + the body; is it therefore not of the body? + +46:012:016 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? + +46:012:017 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the + whole were hearing, where were the smelling? + +46:012:018 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the + body, as it hath pleased him. + +46:012:019 And if they were all one member, where were the body? + +46:012:020 But now are they many members, yet but one body. + +46:012:021 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. + +46:012:022 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be + more feeble, are necessary: + +46:012:023 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. + +46:012:024 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the + body together, having given more abundant honour to that part + which lacked. + +46:012:025 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the + members should have the same care one for another. + +46:012:026 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; + or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. + +46:012:027 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. + +46:012:028 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. + +46:012:029 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all + workers of miracles? + +46:012:030 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do + all interpret? + +46:012:031 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a + more excellent way. + +46:013:001 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. + +46:013:002 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. + +46:013:003 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. + +46:013:004 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; + charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, + +46:013:005 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not + easily provoked, thinketh no evil; + +46:013:006 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; + +46:013:007 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, + endureth all things. + +46:013:008 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. + +46:013:009 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. + +46:013:010 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in + part shall be done away. + +46:013:011 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. + +46:013:012 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. + +46:013:013 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the + greatest of these is charity. + +46:014:001 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather + that ye may prophesy. + +46:014:002 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. + +46:014:003 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and + exhortation, and comfort. + +46:014:004 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he + that prophesieth edifieth the church. + +46:014:005 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. + +46:014:006 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? + +46:014:007 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? + +46:014:008 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare + himself to the battle? + +46:014:009 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. + +46:014:010 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, + and none of them is without signification. + +46:014:011 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. + +46:014:012 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, + seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. + +46:014:013 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that + he may interpret. + +46:014:014 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my + understanding is unfruitful. + +46:014:015 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. + +46:014:016 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? + +46:014:017 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not + edified. + +46:014:018 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: + +46:014:019 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. + +46:014:020 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice + be ye children, but in understanding be men. + +46:014:021 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. + +46:014:022 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. + +46:014:023 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? + +46:014:024 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: + +46:014:025 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. + +46:014:026 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. + +46:014:027 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. + +46:014:028 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the + church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. + +46:014:029 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. + +46:014:030 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the + first hold his peace. + +46:014:031 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and + all may be comforted. + +46:014:032 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. + +46:014:033 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in + all churches of the saints. + +46:014:034 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. + +46:014:035 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. + +46:014:036 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you + only? + +46:014:037 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. + +46:014:038 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. + +46:014:039 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to + speak with tongues. + +46:014:040 Let all things be done decently and in order. + +46:015:001 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I + preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye + stand; + +46:015:002 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I + preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. + +46:015:003 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also + received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the + scriptures; + +46:015:004 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day + according to the scriptures: + +46:015:005 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: + +46:015:006 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. + +46:015:007 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. + +46:015:008 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of + due time. + +46:015:009 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be + called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. + +46:015:010 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. + +46:015:011 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye + believed. + +46:015:012 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say + some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? + +46:015:013 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ + not risen: + +46:015:014 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and + your faith is also vain. + +46:015:015 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. + +46:015:016 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: + +46:015:017 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in + your sins. + +46:015:018 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. + +46:015:019 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men + most miserable. + +46:015:020 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the + firstfruits of them that slept. + +46:015:021 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection + of the dead. + +46:015:022 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made + alive. + +46:015:023 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; + afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. + +46:015:024 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. + +46:015:025 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his + feet. + +46:015:026 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. + +46:015:027 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. + +46:015:028 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. + +46:015:029 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? + +46:015:030 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? + +46:015:031 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our + Lord, I die daily. + +46:015:032 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. + +46:015:033 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. + +46:015:034 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the + knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. + +46:015:035 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with + what body do they come? + +46:015:036 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it + die: + +46:015:037 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: + +46:015:038 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every + seed his own body. + +46:015:039 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. + +46:015:040 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but + the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the + terrestrial is another. + +46:015:041 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. + +46:015:042 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in + corruption; it is raised in incorruption: + +46:015:043 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in + weakness; it is raised in power: + +46:015:044 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. + There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. + +46:015:045 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living + soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. + +46:015:046 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which + is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. + +46:015:047 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the + Lord from heaven. + +46:015:048 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as + is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. + +46:015:049 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also + bear the image of the heavenly. + +46:015:050 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit + the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit + incorruption. + +46:015:051 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we + shall all be changed, + +46:015:052 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. + +46:015:053 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal + must put on immortality. + +46:015:054 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. + +46:015:055 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? + +46:015:056 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. + +46:015:057 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our + Lord Jesus Christ. + +46:015:058 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. + +46:016:001 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given + order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. + +46:016:002 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. + +46:016:003 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, + them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. + +46:016:004 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. + +46:016:005 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: + for I do pass through Macedonia. + +46:016:006 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, + that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. + +46:016:007 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a + while with you, if the Lord permit. + +46:016:008 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. + +46:016:009 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there + are many adversaries. + +46:016:010 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. + +46:016:011 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. + +46:016:012 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. + +46:016:013 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be + strong. + +46:016:014 Let all your things be done with charity. + +46:016:015 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,) + +46:016:016 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that + helpeth with us, and laboureth. + +46:016:017 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and + Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have + supplied. + +46:016:018 For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore + acknowledge ye them that are such. + +46:016:019 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute + you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. + +46:016:020 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy + kiss. + +46:016:021 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. + +46:016:022 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema + Maranatha. + +46:016:023 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. + +46:016:024 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, KING JAMES, BOOK 46 *** + +********** This file should be named 8046.txt or 8046.zip ********** + +This eBook was produced by David Widger +See above the credits to previous producers of this text. + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
