1Corinthians 1
1. Paul <3972>, called <2822> [to be] an apostle <652> of Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547> through <1223> the will <2307> of God
<2316>, and Sosthenes <4988> [our] brother <80>,
2 Unto the church <1577> of God <2316> which <3588> is at
<1722> Corinth <2882>, to them that are sanctified <37> in
Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, called <2822> [to be] saints <40>,
with all <3956> that in every <3956> place <5117> call <1941>
upon the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord
<2962>, both <5037> theirs and ours <2257>:
3 Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God
<2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>.
4 I thank <2168> my God <2316> always <3842> on <4012> your
<5216> behalf <4012>, for the grace <5485> of God <2316> which
<3588> is given <1325> you by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>;
5 That in every <3956> thing ye are enriched <4148> by him, in
all <3956> utterance <3056>, and [in] all <3956> knowledge
<1108>;
6 Even <2531> as the testimony <3142> of Christ <5547> was
confirmed <950> in you:
7 So <5620> that ye come <5302> behind <5302> in no <3367>
gift <5486>; waiting <553> for the coming <602> of our Lord
<2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:
8 Who <3739> shall also <2532> confirm <950> you unto the end
<5056>, [that ye may be] blameless <410> in the day <2250> of
our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
9 God <2316> [is] faithful <4103>, by whom <3739> ye were
called <2564> unto the fellowship <2842> of his Son <5207> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>.
10. Now <1161> I beseech <3870> you, brethren <80>, by the name
<3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that ye
all <3956> speak <3004> the same <846> thing, and [that] there
be no <3361> divisions <4978> among <1722> you; but [that] ye be
perfectly <2675> joined <2675> together <2675> in the same <846>
mind <3563> and in the same <846> judgment <1106>.
11 For it hath been declared <1213> unto me of you, my
brethren <80>, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe <5514>,
that there are contentions <2054> among <1722> you.
12 Now <1161> this <5124> I say <3004>, that every <1538> one
of you saith <3004>, I am <1510> of Paul <3972>; and I of
Apollos <625>; and I of Cephas <2786>; and I of Christ <5547>.
13 Is Christ <5547> divided <3307>? was Paul <3972> crucified
<4717> for you? or <2228> were ye baptized <907> in the name
<3686> of Paul <3972>?
14. I thank <2168> God <2316> that I baptized <907> none <3762>
of you, but Crispus <2921> and Gaius <1050>;
15 Lest <3361> any <3387> should say <2036> that I had
baptized <907> in mine <1699> own name <3686>.
16 And I baptized <907> also <2532> the household <3624> of
Stephanas <4734>: besides <3063>, I know <1492> not whether
<1487> I baptized <907> any <1536> other <243>.
17. For Christ <5547> sent <649> me not to baptize <907>, but
to preach <2097> the gospel <2097>: not with wisdom <4678> of
words <3056>, lest <3361> the cross <4716> of Christ <5547>
should be made <2758> of none <2758> effect <2758>.
18 For the preaching <3056> of the cross <4716> is to them
that perish <622> foolishness <3472>; but unto us which are
saved <4982> it is the power <1411> of God <2316>.
19 For it is written <1125>, I will destroy <622> the wisdom
<4678> of the wise <4680>, and will bring <114> to nothing <114>
the understanding <4907> of the prudent <4908>.
20 Where <4226> [is] the wise <4680>? where <4226> [is] the
scribe <1122>? where <4226> [is] the disputer <4804> of this
<5127> world <165>? hath not God <2316> made <3471> foolish
<3471> the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <2889>?
21 For after <1894> that in the wisdom <4678> of God <2316>
the world <2889> by wisdom <4678> knew <1097> not God <2316>, it
pleased <2106> God <2316> by the foolishness <3472> of preaching
<2782> to save <4982> them that believe <4100>.
22 For the Jews <2453> require <154> a sign <4592>, and the
Greeks <1672> seek <2212> after wisdom <4678>:
23 But we preach <2784> Christ <5547> crucified <4717>, unto
the Jews <2453> a stumblingblock <4625>, and unto the Greeks
<1672> foolishness <3472>;
24 But unto them which <3588> are called <2822>, both <5037>
Jews <2453> and Greeks <1672>, Christ <5547> the power <1411> of
God <2316>, and the wisdom <4678> of God <2316>.
25 Because <3754> the foolishness <3474> of God <2316> is
wiser <4680> than men <444>; and the weakness <772> of God
<2316> is stronger <2478> than men <444>.
26 For ye see <991> your <5216> calling <2821>, brethren <80>,
how that not many <4183> wise <4680> men after <2596> the flesh
<4561>, not many <4183> mighty <1415>, not many <4183> noble
<2104>, [are called]:
27 But God <2316> hath chosen <1586> the foolish <3474> things
of the world <2889> to confound <2617> the wise <4680>; and God
<2316> hath chosen <1586> the weak <772> things of the world
<2889> to confound <2617> the things which are mighty <2478>;
28 And base <36> things of the world <2889>, and things which
are despised <1848>, hath God <2316> chosen <1586>, [yea], and
things which <3588> are not, to bring <2673> to nought <2673>
things that are:
29 That no <3956> flesh <4561> should glory <2744> in his
presence <1799>.
30 But of him are ye in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, who <3739>
of God <2316> is made <1096> unto us wisdom <4678>, and
righteousness <1343>, and sanctification <38>, and redemption
<629>:
31 That, according <2531> as it is written <1125>, He that
glorieth <2744>, let him glory <2744> in the Lord <2962>.
1Corinthians 2
1. And I, brethren <80>, when I came <2064> to you, came <2064>
not with excellency <5247> of speech <3056> or <2228> of wisdom
<4678>, declaring <2605> unto you the testimony <3142> of God
<2316>.
2 For I determined <2919> not to know <1492> any <5100> thing
among <1722> you, save <1508> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and
him crucified <4717>.
3 And I was with you in weakness <769>, and in fear <5401>,
and in much <4183> trembling <5156>.
4 And my speech <3056> and my preaching <2782> [was] not with
enticing <3981> words <3056> of man's <442> wisdom <4678>, but
in demonstration <585> of the Spirit <4151> and of power <1411>:
5 That your <5216> faith <4102> should not stand <1510> in the
wisdom <4678> of men <444>, but in the power <1411> of God
<2316>.
6. Howbeit we speak <2980> wisdom <4678> among <1722> them that
are perfect <5046>: yet <1161> not the wisdom <4678> of this
<5127> world <165>, nor <3761> of the princes <758> of this
<5127> world <165>, that come <2673> to nought <2673>:
7 But we speak <2980> the wisdom <4678> of God <2316> in a
mystery <3466>, [even] the hidden <613> [wisdom], which <3739>
God <2316> ordained <4304> before <4253> the world <165> unto
our glory <1391>:
8 Which <3739> none <3762> of the princes <758> of this <5127>
world <165> knew <1097>: for had they known <1097> [it], they
would not have crucified <4717> the Lord <2962> of glory <1391>.
9 But as it is written <1125>, Eye <3788> hath not seen <1492>,
nor <3756> ear <3775> heard <191>, neither <3756> have entered
<305> into <1909> the heart <2588> of man <444>, the things
which <3739> God <2316> hath prepared <2090> for them that love
<25> him.
10 But God <2316> hath revealed <601> [them] unto us by his
Spirit <4151>: for the Spirit <4151> searcheth <2045> all <3956>
things, yea <2532>, the deep <899> things of God <2316>.
11 For what <5101> man <444> knoweth <1492> the things of a
man <444>, save <1508> the spirit <4151> of man <444> which
<3588> is in him? even <2532> so <3779> the things of God <2316>
knoweth <1492> no <3762> man <3762>, but the Spirit <4151> of
God <2316>.
12 Now <1161> we have received <2983>, not the spirit <4151>
of the world <2889>, but the spirit <4151> which <3588> is of
God <2316>; that we might know <1492> the things that are freely
given <5483> to us of God <2316>.
13 Which <3739> things also <2532> we speak <2980>, not in the
words <3056> which man's <442> wisdom <4678> teacheth <1318>,
but which the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> teacheth <1318>; comparing
<4793> spiritual <4152> things with spiritual <4152>.
14 But the natural <5591> man <444> receiveth <1209> not the
things of the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>: for they are
foolishness <3472> unto him: neither <3756> can <1410> he know
<1097> [them], because <3754> they are spiritually <4153>
discerned <350>.
15 But he that is spiritual <4152> judgeth <350> all <3956>
things, yet <1161> he himself <846> is judged <350> of no <3762>
man <3762>.
16 For who <5101> hath known <1097> the mind <3563> of the
Lord <2962>, that he may instruct <4822> him? But we have <2192>
the mind <3563> of Christ <5547>.
1Corinthians 3
1. And I, brethren <80>, could <1410> not speak <2980> unto you
as unto spiritual <4152>, but as unto carnal <4559>, [even] as
unto babes <3516> in Christ <5547>.
2 I have fed <4222> you with milk <1051>, and not with meat
<1033>: for hitherto <3768> ye were not able <1410> [to bear it],
neither <3777> yet <2089> now <3568> are ye able <1410>.
3 For ye are yet <2089> carnal <4559>: for whereas <3699>
[there is] among <1722> you envying <2205>, and strife <2054>,
and divisions <1370>, are ye not carnal <4559>, and walk <4043>
as men <444>?
4 For while <3752> one <5100> saith <3004>, I am <1510> of
Paul <3972>; and another <2087>, I [am] of Apollos <625>; are ye
not carnal <4559>?
5. Who <5101> then <3767> is Paul <3972>, and who <5101> [is]
Apollos <625>, but ministers <1249> by whom <3739> ye believed
<4100>, even <2532> as the Lord <2962> gave <1325> to every
<1538> man?
6 I have planted <5452>, Apollos <625> watered <4222>; but God
<2316> gave the increase <837>.
7 So <5620> then neither <3777> is he that planteth <5452> any
<5100> thing, neither <3777> he that watereth <4222>; but God
<2316> that giveth the increase <837>.
8 Now <1161> he that planteth <5452> and he that watereth
<4222> are one <1520>: and every <1538> man shall receive <2983>
his own <2398> reward <3408> according <2596> to his own <2398>
labour <2873>.
9 For we are labourers <4904> together <4904> with God <2316>:
ye are God's <2316> husbandry <1091>, [ye are] God's <2316>
building <3619>.
10 According <2596> to the grace <5485> of God <2316> which
<3588> is given <1325> unto me, as a wise <4680> masterbuilder
<753>, I have laid <5087> the foundation <2310>, and another
<243> buildeth <2026> thereon <2026>. But let every <1538> man
take heed <991> how <4459> he buildeth <2026> thereupon <2026>.
11. For other <243> foundation <2310> can <1410> no <3762> man
<3762> lay <5087> than <3844> that is laid <5087>, which <3739>
is Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
12 Now <1161> if <1487> any <5100> man build <2026> upon this
<5126> foundation <2310> gold <5557>, silver <696>, precious
<5093> stones <3037>, wood <3586>, hay <5528>, stubble <2562>;
13 Every <1538> man's work <2041> shall be made <1096>
manifest <5318>: for the day <2250> shall declare <1213> it,
because <3754> it shall be revealed <601> by fire <4442>; and
the fire <4442> shall try <1381> every <1538> man's work <2041>
of what <3697> sort <3697> it is.
14 If <1487> any <1536> man's work <2041> abide <3306> which
<3739> he hath built <2026> thereupon <2026>, he shall receive
<2983> a reward <3408>.
15 If <1487> any <1536> man's work <2041> shall be burned
<2618>, he shall suffer <2210> loss <2210>: but he himself <846>
shall be saved <4982>; yet <1161> so <3779> as by fire <4442>.
16. Know <1492> ye not that ye are the temple <3485> of God
<2316>, and [that] the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> dwelleth
<3611> in you?
17 If <1487> any <1536> man defile <5351> the temple <3485> of
God <2316>, him shall God <2316> destroy <5351>; for the temple
<3485> of God <2316> is holy <40>, which <3748> [temple] ye are.
18. Let no <3367> man <3367> deceive <1818> himself <1438>. If
<1487> any <1536> man among <1722> you seemeth <1380> to be wise
<4680> in this <5129> world <165>, let him become <1096> a fool
<3474>, that he may be wise <4680>.
19 For the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <2889> is
foolishness <3472> with God <2316>. For it is written <1125>, He
taketh <1405> the wise <4680> in their own craftiness <3834>.
20 And again <3825>, The Lord <2962> knoweth <1097> the
thoughts <1261> of the wise <4680>, that they are vain <3152>.
21. Therefore <5620> let no <3367> man <3367> glory <2744> in
men <444>. For all <3956> things are yours <5216>;
22 Whether <1535> Paul <3972>, or <1535> Apollos <625>, or
<1535> Cephas <2786>, or <1535> the world <2889>, or <1535> life
<2222>, or <1535> death <2288>, or <1535> things present <1764>,
or <1535> things to come <3195>; all <3956> are yours <5216>;
23 And ye are Christ's <5547>; and Christ <5547> [is] God's
<2316>.
1Corinthians 4
1. Let a man <444> so <3779> account <3049> of us, as of the
ministers <5257> of Christ <5547>, and stewards <3623> of the
mysteries <3466> of God <2316>.
2 Moreover <3063> it is required <2212> in stewards <3623>,
that a man <5100> be found <2147> faithful <4103>.
3 But with me it is a very <1646> small <1646> thing that I
should be judged <350> of you, or <2228> of man's <442> judgment
<2250>: yea <235>, I judge <350> not mine <1683> own <1683> self
<1683>.
4 For I know <4892> nothing <3762> by myself <1683>; yet <235>
am I not hereby <5129> justified <1344>: but he that judgeth
<350> me is the Lord <2962>.
5 Therefore <5620> judge <2919> nothing <3385> before <4253>
the time <2540>, until <2193> the Lord <2962> come <2064>, who
<3739> both <2532> will bring <5461> to light <5461> the hidden
<2927> things of darkness <4655>, and will make <5319> manifest
<5319> the counsels <1012> of the hearts <2588>: and then <5119>
shall every <1538> man have <1096> praise <1868> of God <2316>.
6 And these <5023> things, brethren <80>, I have in a figure
<3345> transferred <3345> to myself <1683> and [to] Apollos
<625> for your <5209> sakes; that ye might learn <3129> in us
not to think <5426> [of men] above <5228> that which <3739> is
written <1125>, that no <3361> one <1520> of you be puffed
<5448> up for one <1520> against <2596> another <2087>.
7. For who <5101> maketh <1252> thee to differ <1252> [from
another]? and what <5101> hast <2192> thou that thou didst not
receive <2983>? now <2532> if <1499> thou didst receive <2983>
[it], why <5101> dost thou glory <2744>, as if thou hadst not
received <2983> [it]?
8 Now <2236> ye are full <2880>, now <2236> ye are rich <4147>,
ye have reigned <936> as kings without <5565> us: and I would
<3785> to God ye did reign <936>, that we also <2532> might
reign <4821> with you.
9 For I think <1380> that God <2316> hath set <584> forth
<584> us the apostles <652> last <2078>, as it were appointed
<1935> to death <1935>: for we are made <1096> a spectacle
<2302> unto the world <2889>, and to angels <32>, and to men
<444>.
10 We [are] fools <3474> for Christ's <5547> sake, but ye
[are] wise <5429> in Christ <5547>; we [are] weak <772>, but ye
[are] strong <2478>; ye [are] honourable <1741>, but we [are]
despised <820>.
11 Even unto this <3588> present <737> hour <5610> we both
<2532> hunger <3983>, and thirst <1372>, and are naked <1130>,
and are buffeted <2852>, and have no <790> certain <790>
dwellingplace <790>;
12 And labour <2872>, working <2038> with our own <2398> hands
<5495>: being reviled <3058>, we bless <2127>; being persecuted
<1377>, we suffer <430> it:
13 Being defamed <987>, we intreat <3870>: we are made <1096>
as the filth <4027> of the world <2889>, [and are] the
offscouring <4067> of all <3956> things unto this <737> day
<737>.
14. I write <1125> not these <5023> things to shame <1788> you,
but as my beloved <27> sons <5043> I warn <3560> [you].
15 For though <1437> ye have <2192> ten <3463> thousand <3463>
instructors <3807> in Christ <5547>, yet <235> [have ye] not
many <4183> fathers <3962>: for in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> I
have begotten <1080> you through <1223> the gospel <2098>.
16 Wherefore <3767> I beseech <3870> you, be ye followers
<3402> of me.
17. For this <5124> cause <1223> have I sent unto you Timotheus
<5095>, who <3739> is my beloved <27> son <5043>, and faithful
<4103> in the Lord <2962>, who <3739> shall bring <363> you into
remembrance <363> of my ways <3598> which <3588> be in Christ
<5547>, as I teach <1321> every <3837> where <3837> in every
<3956> church <1577>.
18 Now <1161> some <5100> are puffed <5448> up, as though I
would not come <2064> to you.
19 But I will come <2064> to you shortly <5030>, if <1437> the
Lord <2962> will <2309>, and will know <1097>, not the speech
<3056> of them which are puffed <5448> up, but the power <1411>.
20 For the kingdom <932> of God <2316> [is] not in word <3056>,
but in power <1411>.
21 What <5101> will <2309> ye? shall I come <2064> unto you
with a rod <4464>, or <2228> in love <26>, and [in] the spirit
<4151> of meekness <4236>?
1Corinthians 5
1. It is reported <191> commonly <3654> [that there is]
fornication <4202> among <1722> you, and such <5108> fornication
<4202> as is not so <3761> much <3761> as named <3687> among
<1722> the Gentiles <1484>, that one <5100> should have <2192>
his father's <3962> wife <1135>.
2 And ye are puffed <5448> up, and have not rather <3123>
mourned <3996>, that he that hath done <4160> this <5124> deed
<2041> might be taken <1808> away from among <3319> you.
3 For I verily <3303>, as absent <548> in body <4983>, but
present <3918> in spirit <4151>, have judged <2919> already
<2235>, as though I were present <3918>, [concerning] him that
hath so <3779> done <2716> this <5124> deed,
4 In the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547>, when ye are gathered <4863> together <4863>, and my
spirit <4151>, with the power <1411> of our Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>,
5 To deliver <3860> such <5108> an one unto Satan <4567> for
the destruction <3639> of the flesh <4561>, that the spirit
<4151> may be saved <4982> in the day <2250> of the Lord <2962>
Jesus <2424>.
6 Your <5216> glorying <2745> [is] not good <2570>. Know
<1492> ye not that a little <3398> leaven <2219> leaveneth
<2220> the whole <3650> lump <5445>?
7. Purge <1571> out therefore <3767> the old <3820> leaven
<2219>, that ye may be a new <3501> lump <5445>, as ye are
unleavened <106>. For even <2532> Christ <5547> our passover
<3957> is sacrificed <2380> for us:
8 Therefore <5620> let us keep <1858> the feast <1858>, not
with old <3820> leaven <2219>, neither <3366> with the leaven
<2219> of malice <2549> and wickedness <4189>; but with the
unleavened <106> [bread] of sincerity <1505> and truth <225>.
9. I wrote <1125> unto you in an epistle <1992> not to company
<4874> with fornicators <4205>:
10 Yet <2532> not altogether <3843> with the fornicators
<4205> of this <5127> world <2889>, or <2228> with the covetous
<4123>, or <2228> extortioners <727>, or <2228> with idolaters
<1496>; for then <686> must <3781> ye needs go <1831> out of the
world <2889>.
11 But now <3570> I have written <1125> unto you not to keep
<4874> company <4874>, if <1437> any <5100> man that is called
<3687> a brother <80> be a fornicator <4205>, or <2228> covetous
<4123>, or <2228> an idolater <1496>, or <2228> a railer <3060>,
or <2228> a drunkard <3183>, or <2228> an extortioner <727>;
with such <5108> an one no not to eat <4906>.
12 For what <5101> have I to do to judge <2919> them also
<2532> that are without <1854>? do not ye judge <2919> them that
are within <2080>?
13 But them that are without <1854> God <2316> judgeth <2919>.
Therefore put <1808> away <1808> from among yourselves <846>
that wicked <4190> person.
1Corinthians 6
1. Dare <5111> any <5100> of you, having <2192> a matter <4229>
against <4314> another <2087>, go to law <2919> before <1909>
the unjust <94>, and not before <1909> the saints <40>?
2 Do ye not know <1492> that the saints <40> shall judge
<2919> the world <2889>? and if <1487> the world <2889> shall be
judged <2919> by you, are ye unworthy <370> to judge <2922> the
smallest <1646> matters?
3 Know <1492> ye not that we shall judge <2919> angels <32>?
how <3386> much <3386> more <1065> things that pertain to this
life <982>?
4 If <1437> then <3767> ye have <2192> judgments <2922> of
things pertaining to this life <982>, set <2523> them to judge
<2919> who are least <1848> esteemed <1848> in the church <1577>.
5 I speak <3004> to your <5213> shame <1791>. Is it so <3779>,
that there is not a wise <4680> man among <1722> you? no, not
one that shall be able <1410> to judge <1252> between <3319> his
brethren <80>?
6 But brother <80> goeth to law <2919> with brother <80>, and
that before <1909> the unbelievers <571>.
7 Now <2236> therefore <3767> there is utterly <3654> a fault
<2275> among <1722> you, because <3754> ye go to law <2917> one
<1438> with another <1438>. Why <1302> do ye not rather <3123>
take wrong <91>? why <1302> do ye not rather <3123> [suffer
yourselves to] be defrauded <650>?
8 Nay <235>, ye do wrong <91>, and defraud <650>, and that
[your] brethren <80>.
9. Know <1492> ye not that the unrighteous <94> shall not
inherit <2816> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>? Be not deceived
<4105>: neither <3777> fornicators <4205>, nor <3777> idolaters
<1496>, nor <3777> adulterers <3432>, nor <3777> effeminate
<3120>, nor <3777> abusers <783> of themselves with mankind
<733>,
10 Nor <3777> thieves <2812>, nor <3777> covetous <4123>, nor
<3756> drunkards <3183>, nor <3756> revilers <3060>, nor <3756>
extortioners <727>, shall inherit <2816> the kingdom <932> of
God <2316>.
11 And such <5023> were some <5100> of you: but ye are washed
<628>, but ye are sanctified <37>, but ye are justified <1344>
in the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and by the
Spirit <4151> of our God <2316>.
12. All <3956> things are lawful <1832> unto me, but all <3956>
things are not expedient <4851>: all <3956> things are lawful
<1832> for me, but I will not be brought <1850> under <5259> the
power <1850> of any <5100>.
13 Meats <1033> for the belly <2836>, and the belly <2836> for
meats <1033>: but God <2316> shall destroy <2673> both <2532> it
and them. Now <1161> the body <4983> [is] not for fornication
<4202>, but for the Lord <2962>; and the Lord <2962> for the
body <4983>.
14 And God <2316> hath both <2532> raised <1453> up the Lord
<2962>, and will also <2532> raise <1825> up us by his own <848>
power <1411>.
15 Know <1492> ye not that your <5216> bodies <4983> are the
members <3196> of Christ <5547>? shall I then <3767> take <142>
the members <3196> of Christ <5547>, and make <4160> [them] the
members <3196> of an harlot <4204>? God <1096> forbid <1096>.
16 What <2228>? know <1492> ye not that he which is joined
<2853> to an harlot <4204> is one <1520> body <4983>? for two
<1417>, saith <5346> he, shall be one <3391> flesh <4561>.
17 But he that is joined <2853> unto the Lord <2962> is one
<1520> spirit <4151>.
18 Flee <5343> fornication <4202>. Every <3956> sin <265> that
a man <444> doeth <4160> is without <1622> the body <4983>; but
he that committeth <4203> fornication <4203> sinneth <264>
against <1519> his own <2398> body <4983>.
19 What <2228>? know <1492> ye not that your <1438> body
<4983> is the temple <3485> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> [which
is] in you, which <3739> ye have <2192> of God <2316>, and ye
are not your <5216> own <1438>?
20 For ye are bought <59> with a price <5092>: therefore
<1211> glorify <1392> God <2316> in your <5216> body <4983>, and
in your <5216> spirit <4151>, which <3748> are God's <2316>.
1Corinthians 7
1. Now <1161> concerning <4012> the things whereof <3739> ye
wrote <1125> unto me: [It is] good <2570> for a man <444> not to
touch <680> a woman <1135>.
2 Nevertheless <1161>, [to avoid <1223>] fornication <4202>,
let every <1538> man have <2192> his own <1438> wife <1135>, and
let every <1538> woman have <2192> her own <2398> husband <435>.
3 Let the husband <435> render <591> unto the wife <1135> due
<3784> benevolence <2133>: and likewise <3668> also <2532> the
wife <1135> unto the husband <435>.
4 The wife <1135> hath not power <1850> of her own <2398> body
<4983>, but the husband <435>: and likewise <3668> also <2532>
the husband <435> hath not power <1850> of his own <2398> body
<4983>, but the wife <1135>.
5 Defraud <650> ye not one <240> the other <240>, except
<1509> [it be] with consent <4859> for a time <2540>, that ye
may give <4980> yourselves to fasting <3521> and prayer <4335>;
and come <4905> together <846> again <3825>, that Satan <4567>
tempt <3985> you not for your <5216> incontinency <192>.
6 But I speak <3004> this <5124> by permission <4774>, [and]
not of commandment <2003>.
7 For I would <2309> that all <3956> men <444> were even
<2532> as I myself <1683>. But every <1538> man hath <2192> his
proper <2398> gift <5486> of God <2316>, one <3303> after <3779>
this <3779> manner <3779>, and another <3588> after <3779> that.
8 I say <3004> therefore <1160> to the unmarried <22> and
widows <5503>, It is good <2570> for them if <1437> they abide
<3306> even <2504> as I.
9 But if <1487> they cannot <3756> contain <1467>, let them
marry <1060>: for it is better <2909> to marry <1060> than
<2228> to burn <4448>.
10. And unto the married <1060> I command <3853>, [yet] not I,
but the Lord <2962>, Let not the wife <1135> depart <5562> from
[her] husband <435>:
11 But and if <1437> she depart <5562>, let her remain <3306>
unmarried <22>, or <2228> be reconciled <2644> to [her] husband
<435>: and let not the husband <435> put <863> away <863> [his]
wife <1135>.
12 But to the rest <3062> speak <3004> I, not the Lord <2962>:
If <1487> any <1536> brother <80> hath <2192> a wife <1135> that
believeth <571> not, and she be pleased <4909> to dwell <3611>
with him, let him not put <863> her away <863>.
13 And the woman <1135> which <3748> hath <2192> an husband
<435> that believeth <571> not, and if he be pleased <4909> to
dwell <3611> with her, let her not leave <863> him.
14 For the unbelieving <571> husband <435> is sanctified <37>
by the wife <1135>, and the unbelieving <571> wife <1135> is
sanctified <37> by the husband <435>: else <686> were your
<5216> children <5043> unclean <169>; but now <3568> are they
holy <40>.
15 But if <1487> the unbelieving <571> depart <5562>, let him
depart <5562>. A brother <80> or <2228> a sister <79> is not
under bondage <1402> in such <5108> [cases]: but God <2316> hath
called <2564> us to peace <1515>.
16 For what <5101> knowest <1492> thou, O wife <1135>, whether
<1487> thou shalt save <4982> [thy] husband <435>? or <2228> how
<5101> knowest <1492> thou, O man <435>, whether <1487> thou
shalt save <4982> [thy] wife <1135>?
17. But as God <2316> hath distributed <3307> to every <1538>
man, as the Lord <2962> hath called <2564> every <1538> one, so
<3779> let him walk <4043>. And so <3779> ordain <1299> I in all
<3956> churches <1577>.
18 Is any <5100> man called <2564> being circumcised <4059>?
let him not become <1986> uncircumcised <1986>. Is any <5100>
called <2564> in uncircumcision <203>? let him not be
circumcised <4059>.
19 Circumcision <4061> is nothing <3762>, and uncircumcision
<203> is nothing <3762>, but the keeping <5084> of the
commandments <1785> of God <2316>.
20 Let every <1538> man abide <3306> in the same <5026>
calling <2821> wherein <3757> he was called <2564>.
21 Art thou called <2564> [being] a servant <1401>? care
<3199> not for it: but if <1499> thou mayest <1410> be made
<1096> free <1658>, use <5530> [it] rather <3123>.
22 For he that is called <2564> in the Lord <2962>, [being] a
servant <1401>, is the Lord's <2962> freeman <558>: likewise
<3668> also <2532> he that is called <2564>, [being] free <1658>,
is Christ's <5547> servant <1401>.
23 Ye are bought <59> with a price <5092>; be not ye the
servants <1401> of men <444>.
24 Brethren <80>, let every <1538> man, wherein <3757> he is
called <2564>, therein <5129> abide <3306> with God <2316>.
25. Now <1161> concerning <4012> virgins <3933> I have <2192>
no <3756> commandment <2003> of the Lord <2962>: yet <1161> I
give <1325> my judgment <1106>, as one that hath obtained <1653>
mercy <1653> of the Lord <2962> to be faithful <4103>.
26 I suppose <3543> therefore <3767> that this <5124> is good
<2570> for the present <1764> distress <318>, [I say], that [it
is] good <2570> for a man <444> so <3779> to be.
27 Art thou bound <1210> unto a wife <1135>? seek <2212> not
to be loosed <3089>. Art thou loosed <3080> from a wife <1135>?
seek <2212> not a wife <1135>.
28 But and if <1437> thou marry <1060>, thou hast not sinned
<264>; and if <1437> a virgin <3933> marry <1060>, she hath not
sinned <264>. Nevertheless <1161> such <5108> shall have <2192>
trouble <2347> in the flesh <4561>: but I spare <5339> you.
29 But this <5124> I say <5346>, brethren <80>, the time
<2540> [is] short <4958>: it remaineth <3063>, that both <2532>
they that have <2192> wives <1135> be as though they had <2192>
none <3361>;
30 And they that weep <2799>, as though they wept <2799> not;
and they that rejoice <5463>, as though they rejoiced <5463> not;
and they that buy <59>, as though they possessed <2722> not;
31 And they that use <5530> this <5127> world <2889>, as not
abusing <2710> [it]: for the fashion <4976> of this <5129> world
<2889> passeth <3855> away.
32 But I would <2309> have you without <275> carefulness <275>.
He that is unmarried <22> careth <3309> for the things that
belong to the Lord <2962>, how <4459> he may please <700> the
Lord <2962>:
33 But he that is married <1060> careth <3309> for the things
that are of the world <2889>, how <4459> he may please <700>
[his] wife <1135>.
34 There is difference <3307> [also] between <3307> a wife
<1135> and a virgin <3933>. The unmarried <22> woman <1135>
careth <3309> for the things of the Lord <2962>, that she may be
holy <40> both <2532> in body <4983> and in spirit <4151>: but
she that is married <1060> careth <3309> for the things of the
world <2889>, how <4459> she may please <700> [her] husband
<435>.
35 And this <5124> I speak <3004> for your <5216> own <846>
profit <4851>; not that I may cast <1911> a snare <1029> upon
you, but for that which is comely <2158>, and that ye may attend
<2145> upon the Lord <2962> without <563> distraction <563>.
36. But if <1487> any <5100> man think <3543> that he behaveth
<807> himself uncomely <807> toward <1909> his virgin <3933>, if
<1437> she pass <5230> the flower <5230> of [her] age <5230>,
and need <3784> so <3779> require <1096>, let him do <4160> what
<3739> he will <2309>, he sinneth <264> not: let them marry
<1060>.
37 Nevertheless <1161> he that standeth <2476> stedfast <1476>
in his heart <2588>, having <2192> no <3361> necessity <318>,
but hath <2192> power <1849> over <4012> his own <2398> will
<2307>, and hath so <5124> decreed <2919> in his heart <2588>
that he will keep <5083> his virgin <3933>, doeth <4160> well
<2573>.
38 So <5620> then <2532> he that giveth [her] in marriage
<1547> doeth <4160> well <2573>; but he that giveth [her] not in
marriage <1547> doeth <4160> better <2573>.
39. The wife <1135> is bound <1210> by the law <3551> as long
<5550> as her husband <435> liveth <2198>; but if <1437> her
husband <435> be dead <2837>, she is at <1657> liberty <1658> to
be married <1060> to whom <3739> she will <2309>; only <3440> in
the Lord <2962>.
40 But she is happier <3107> if <1437> she so <3779> abide
<3306>, after <2596> my judgment <1106>: and I think <1380> also
<2504> that I have <2192> the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>.
1Corinthians 8
1. Now <1161> as touching <4012> things offered <1494> unto
idols <1494>, we know <1492> that we all <3956> have <2192>
knowledge <1108>. Knowledge <1108> puffeth <5448> up, but
charity <26> edifieth <3618>.
2 And if <1487> any <5100> man think <1380> that he knoweth
<1492> any <5100> thing, he knoweth <1097> nothing <3762> yet
<3764> as he ought <1163> to know <1097>.
3 But if <1487> any <5100> man love <25> God <2316>, the same
<3778> is known <1097> of him.
4. As concerning <4012> therefore <3767> the eating <1035> of
those <3588> things that are offered <1494> in sacrifice <1494>
unto idols <1494>, we know <1492> that an idol <1497> [is]
nothing <3762> in the world <2889>, and that [there is] none
<3762> other <2087> God <2316> but one <1520>.
5 For though <1512> there be that are called <3004> gods
<2316>, whether <1535> in heaven <3772> or <1535> in earth
<1093>, (as there be gods <2316> many <4183>, and lords <2962>
many <4183>,)
6 But to us [there is but] one <1520> God <2316>, the Father
<3962>, of whom <3739> [are] all <3956> things, and we in him;
and one <1520> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, by whom
<3739> [are] all <3956> things, and we by him.
7. Howbeit <235> [there is] not in every <3956> man <3956> that
knowledge <1108>: for some <5100> with conscience <4893> of the
idol <1497> unto this <737> hour <734> eat <2068> [it] as a
thing offered <1494> unto an idol <1494>; and their conscience
<4893> being <5607> weak <772> is defiled <3435>.
8 But meat <1033> commendeth <3936> us not to God <2316>: for
neither <3777>, if <1437> we eat <5315>, are we the better
<4052>; neither <3777>, if <1437> we eat <5315> not, are we the
worse <5302>.
9 But take heed <991> lest <3381> by any <3381> means <4458>
this <3778> liberty <1849> of yours <5216> become <1096> a
stumblingblock <4348> to them that are weak <770>.
10 For if <1437> any <5100> man see <1492> thee which <3588>
hast <2192> knowledge <1108> sit <2621> at <2621> meat in the
idol's <1493> temple, shall not the conscience <4893> of him
which is weak <772> be emboldened <3618> to eat <2068> those
<3588> things which are offered <1494> to idols <1494>;
11 And through <1909> thy knowledge <1108> shall the weak
<770> brother <80> perish <622>, for whom <3739> Christ <5547>
died <599>?
12 But when ye sin <264> so <3779> against <1519> the brethren
<80>, and wound <5180> their weak <770> conscience <4893>, ye
sin <264> against <1519> Christ <5547>.
13 Wherefore <1355>, if <1487> meat <1033> make <4624> my
brother <80> to offend <4624>, I will eat <5315> no <3364> flesh
<2907> while the world <165> standeth, lest <3361> I make <4624>
my brother <80> to offend <4624>.
1Corinthians 9
1. Am <1510> I not an apostle <652>? am <1510> I not free
<1658>? have I not seen <3708> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our
Lord <2962>? are not ye my work <2041> in the Lord <2962>?
2 If <1487> I be not an apostle <652> unto others <243>, yet
<235> doubtless <1065> I am <1510> to you: for the seal <4973>
of mine <1699> apostleship <651> are ye in the Lord <2962>.
3. Mine <1699> answer <627> to them that do examine <350> me is
this <3778>,
4 Have <2192> we not power <1849> to eat <5315> and to drink
<4095>?
5 Have <2192> we not power <1849> to lead <4013> about <4013>
a sister <79>, a wife <1135>, as well <2532> as other <3062>
apostles <652>, and [as] the brethren <80> of the Lord <2962>,
and Cephas <2786>?
6 Or <2228> I only <3441> and Barnabas <921>, have <2192> not
we power <1849> to forbear <3361> working <2038>?
7 Who <5100> goeth a warfare <4754> any <4218> time <4218> at
<4218> his own <2398> charges <3800>? who <5100> planteth <5452>
a vineyard <290>, and eateth <2068> not of the fruit <2590>
thereof <846>? or <2228> who <5100> feedeth <4165> a flock
<4167>, and eateth <2068> not of the milk <1051> of the flock
<4167>?
8 Say <2980> I these <5023> things as a man <444>? or <2228>
saith <3004> not the law <3551> the same <5023> also <2532>?
9 For it is written <1125> in the law <3551> of Moses <3475>,
Thou shalt not muzzle <5392> the mouth of the ox <1016> that
treadeth <248> out the corn. Doth God <2316> take care <3199>
for oxen <1016>?
10 Or <2228> saith <3004> he [it] altogether <3843> for our
sakes? For our sakes, no <1063> doubt <1063>, [this] is written
<1125>: that he that ploweth <722> should <3784> plow <722> in
hope <1680>; and that he that thresheth <248> in hope <1680>
should be partaker <3348> of his hope <1680>.
11 If <1487> we have sown <4687> unto you spiritual <4152>
things, [is it] a great <3173> thing if <1487> we shall reap
<2325> your <5216> carnal <4559> things?
12 If <1487> others <243> be partakers <3348> of [this <3588>]
power <1849> over you, [are] not we rather <3123>? Nevertheless
<235> we have not used <5530> this <5026> power <1849>; but
suffer <4722> all <3956> things, lest <3361> we should hinder
<1325> the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>.
13 Do ye not know <1492> that they which minister <2038> about
holy <2413> things live <2068> [of the things] of the temple
<2411>? and they which wait <4332> at the altar <2379> are
partakers <4829> with the altar <2379>?
14 Even <2532> so <3779> hath the Lord <2962> ordained <1299>
that they which preach <2605> the gospel <2098> should live
<2198> of the gospel <2098>.
15. But I have used <5530> none <3762> of these <5130> things:
neither have I written <1125> these <5023> things, that it
should be so <3779> done <1096> unto me: for [it were] better
<3123> for me to die <599>, than <2228> that any <5100> man
should make <2758> my glorying <2745> void <2758>.
16 For though <1437> I preach <2097> the gospel <2097>, I have
<2076> nothing <3756> to glory <2745> of: for necessity <318> is
laid <1945> upon me; yea <1161>, woe <3759> is unto me, if
<1437> I preach <2097> not the gospel <2097>!
17 For if <1487> I do <4238> this <5124> thing willingly
<1635>, I have <2192> a reward <3408>: but if <1487> against
<210> my will <210>, a dispensation <3622> [of the gospel] is
committed <4100> unto me.
18 What <5101> is my reward <3408> then <3767>? [Verily] that,
when I preach <2097> the gospel <2097>, I may make <5087> the
gospel <2098> of Christ <5547> without <77> charge <77>, that I
abuse <2710> not my power <1849> in the gospel <2098>.
19. For though I be free <1658> from all <3956> [men], yet have
I made <1402> myself <1683> servant <1402> unto all <3956>, that
I might gain <2770> the more <4119>.
20 And unto the Jews <2453> I became <1096> as a Jew <2453>,
that I might gain <2770> the Jews <2453>; to them that are under
<5259> the law <3551>, as under <5259> the law <3551>, that I
might gain <2770> them that are under <5259> the law <3551>;
21 To them that are without <459> law <459>, as without <459>
law <459>, (being not without <459> law <459> to God <2316>, but
under <1772> the law <1772> to Christ <5547>,) that I might gain
<2770> them that are without <459> law <459>.
22 To the weak <770> became <1096> I as weak <770>, that I
might gain <2770> the weak <770>: I am made <1096> all <3956>
things to all <3956> [men], that I might by all <3956> means
<3843> save <4982> some <5100>.
23 And this <5124> I do <4160> for the gospel's <2098> sake,
that I might be partaker <4791> thereof <846> with [you].
24. Know <1492> ye not that they which run <5143> in a race
<4712> run <5143> all <3956>, but one <1520> receiveth <2983>
the prize <1017>? So <3779> run <5143>, that ye may obtain
<2638>.
25 And every <3956> man that striveth <75> for the mastery is
temperate <1467> in all <3956> things. Now <3767> they [do it]
to obtain <2983> a corruptible <5349> crown <4735>; but we an
incorruptible <862>.
26 I therefore <5106> so <3779> run <5143>, not as uncertainly
<84>; so <3779> fight <4438> I, not as one that beateth <1194>
the air <109>:
27 But I keep <5299> under <5299> my body <4983>, and bring
<1396> [it] into subjection <1396>: lest <3381> that by any
<3381> means <4458>, when I have preached <2784> to others <243>,
I myself should be a castaway <96>.
1Corinthians 10
1. Moreover <1161>, brethren <80>, I would <2309> not that ye
should be ignorant <50>, how that all <3956> our fathers <3962>
were under <5259> the cloud <3507>, and all <3956> passed <1330>
through <1223> the sea <2281>;
2 And were all <3956> baptized <907> unto Moses <3475> in the
cloud <3507> and in the sea <2281>;
3 And did all <3956> eat <5315> the same <846> spiritual
<4152> meat <1033>;
4 And did all <3956> drink <4095> the same <846> spiritual
<4152> drink <4188>: for they drank <4095> of that spiritual
<4152> Rock <4073> that followed <190> them: and that Rock
<4073> was Christ <5547>.
5 But with many <4119> of them God <2316> was not well <2106>
pleased <2106>: for they were overthrown <2693> in the
wilderness <2048>.
6. Now <1161> these <5023> things were our examples <5179>, to
the intent we should not lust <1938> after <1938> evil <2556>
things, as they also <2548> lusted <1937>.
7 Neither <3366> be ye idolaters <1496>, as [were] some <5100>
of them; as it is written <1125>, The people <2992> sat <2523>
down <2523> to eat <5315> and drink <4095>, and rose <450> up to
play <3815>.
8 Neither <3366> let us commit <4203> fornication <4203>, as
some <5100> of them committed <4203>, and fell <4098> in one
<3391> day <2250> three <5140> and twenty <1501> thousand <5505>.
9 Neither <3366> let us tempt <1598> Christ <5547>, as some
<5100> of them also <2532> tempted <3985>, and were destroyed
<622> of serpents <3789>.
10 Neither <3366> murmur <1111> ye, as some <5100> of them
also <2532> murmured <1111>, and were destroyed <622> of the
destroyer <3644>.
11 Now <1161> all <3956> these <5023> things happened <4819>
unto them for ensamples <5179>: and they are written <1125> for
our admonition <3559>, upon whom <3739> the ends <5056> of the
world <165> are come <2658>.
12 Wherefore <5620> let him that thinketh <1380> he standeth
<2476> take heed <991> lest <3361> he fall <4098>.
13 There hath no <3756> temptation <3986> taken <2983> you but
such as is common <442> to man <442>: but God <2316> [is]
faithful <4103>, who <3739> will not suffer <1439> you to be
tempted <3985> above <5228> that ye are able <1410>; but will
with the temptation <3986> also <2532> make <4160> a way <1545>
to escape <1545>, that ye may be able <1410> to bear <5297> [it].
14 Wherefore <1355>, my dearly beloved <27>, flee <5343> from
idolatry <1495>.
15. I speak <3004> as to wise <5429> men; judge <2919> ye what
<3739> I say <5346>.
16 The cup <4221> of blessing <2129> which <3739> we bless
<2127>, is it not the communion <2842> of the blood <129> of
Christ <5547>? The bread <740> which <3739> we break <2806>, is
it not the communion <2842> of the body <4983> of Christ <5547>?
17 For we [being] many <4183> are one <1520> bread <740>,
[and] one <1520> body <4983>: for we are all <3956> partakers
<3348> of that one <1520> bread <740>.
18 Behold <991> Israel <2474> after <2596> the flesh <4561>:
are not they which eat <2068> of the sacrifices <2378> partakers
<2844> of the altar <2379>?
19 What <5101> say <5346> I then <3767>? that the idol <1497>
is any <5100> thing, or <2228> that which is offered <1494> in
sacrifice <1494> to idols <1494> is any <5100> thing?
20 But I [say], that the things which <3739> the Gentiles
<1484> sacrifice <2380>, they sacrifice <2380> to devils <1140>,
and not to God <2316>: and I would <2309> not that ye should
have fellowship <2844> with devils <1140>.
21 Ye cannot <1410> drink <4095> the cup <4221> of the Lord
<2962>, and the cup <4221> of devils <1140>: ye cannot <1410> be
partakers <3348> of the Lord's <2962> table <5132>, and of the
table <5132> of devils <1140>.
22 Do we provoke <3863> the Lord <2962> to jealousy? are we
stronger <2478> than he?
23. All <3956> things are lawful <1832> for me, but all <3956>
things are not expedient <4851>: all <3956> things are lawful
<1832> for me, but all <3956> things edify <3618> not.
24 Let no <3367> man <3367> seek <2212> his own <1438>, but
every <1538> man another's <2087> [wealth].
25 Whatsoever <3956> is sold <4453> in the shambles <3111>,
[that] eat <2068>, asking <350> no <3367> question for
conscience <4893> sake:
26 For the earth <1093> [is] the Lord's <2962>, and the
fulness <4138> thereof <846>.
27 If <1487> any <5100> of them that believe <571> not bid
<2564> you [to a feast], and ye be disposed <2309> to go <4198>;
whatsoever <3956> is set <3908> before <3908> you, eat <2068>,
asking <350> no <3367> question for conscience <4893> sake.
28 But if <1437> any <5100> man say <2036> unto you, This
<5124> is offered <1494> in sacrifice <1494> unto idols <1494>,
eat <2068> not for his sake that shewed <3377> it, and for
conscience <4893> sake: for the earth <1093> [is] the Lord's
<2962>, and the fulness <4138> thereof <846>:
29 Conscience <4893>, I say <3004>, not thine <1438> own
<1438>, but of the other <2087>: for why <5101> is my liberty
<1657> judged <2919> of another <243> [man's] conscience <4893>?
30 For if <1487> I by grace <5485> be a partaker <3348>, why
<5101> am I evil <987> spoken <987> of for that for which <3739>
I give thanks <2168>?
31 Whether <1535> therefore <3767> ye eat <2068>, or <1535>
drink <4095>, or <1535> whatsoever <5100> ye do <4160>, do
<4160> all <3956> to the glory <1391> of God <2316>.
32 Give <1096> none <677> offence <677>, neither to the Jews
<2453>, nor <2532> to the Gentiles <1672>, nor <2532> to the
church <1577> of God <2316>:
33 Even <2504> as I please <700> all <3956> [men] in all
<3956> [things], not seeking <2212> mine <1683> own <1683>
profit <4851>, but the [profit <4851>] of many <4183>, that they
may be saved <4982>.
1Corinthians 11
1. Be ye followers <3402> of me, even <2531> as I also <2504>
[am] of Christ <5547>.
2 Now <1161> I praise <1867> you, brethren <80>, that ye
remember <3415> me in all <3956> things, and keep <2722> the
ordinances <3862>, as I delivered <3860> [them] to you.
3 But I would <2309> have you know <1492>, that the head
<2776> of every <3956> man <435> is Christ <5547>; and the head
<2776> of the woman <1135> [is] the man <435>; and the head
<2776> of Christ <5547> [is] God <2316>.
4 Every <3956> man <435> praying <4336> or <2228> prophesying
<4395>, having <2192> [his] head <2776> covered <2596>,
dishonoureth <2617> his head <2776>.
5 But every <3956> woman <1135> that prayeth <4336> or <2228>
prophesieth <4395> with [her] head <2776> uncovered <177>
dishonoureth <2617> her head <2776>: for that is even <2532> all
one <1520> as if she were shaven <3587>.
6 For if <1487> the woman <1135> be not covered <2619>, let
her also <2532> be shorn <2751>: but if <1487> it be a shame
<149> for a woman <1135> to be shorn <2751> or <2228> shaven
<3587>, let her be covered <2619>.
7 For a man <435> indeed <3303> ought <3784> not to cover
<2619> [his] head <2776>, forasmuch as he is the image <1504>
and glory <1391> of God <2316>: but the woman <1135> is the
glory <1391> of the man <435>.
8 For the man <435> is not of the woman <1135>; but the woman
<1135> of the man <435>.
9 Neither <3756> was the man <435> created <2936> for the
woman <1135>; but the woman <1135> for the man <435>.
10 For this <5124> cause <1223> ought <3784> the woman <1135>
to have <2192> power <1849> on <1909> [her] head <2776> because
<1223> of the angels <32>.
11 Nevertheless <4133> neither <3777> is the man <435> without
<5565> the woman <1135>, neither <3777> the woman <1135> without
<5565> the man <435>, in the Lord <2962>.
12 For as the woman <1135> [is] of the man <435>, even so
<3779> [is] the man <435> also <2532> by the woman <1135>; but
all <3956> things of God <2316>.
13 Judge <2919> in yourselves <846>: is it comely <4241> that
a woman <1135> pray <4336> unto God <2316> uncovered <177>?
14 Doth not even <3761> nature <5449> itself <846> teach
<1321> you, that, if <1437> a man <435> have long <2863> hair
<2863>, it is a shame <819> unto him?
15 But if <1437> a woman <1135> have long <2863> hair <2863>,
it is a glory <1391> to her: for [her] hair <2864> is given
<1325> her for a covering <4018>.
16 But if <1487> any <5100> man seem <1380> to be contentious
<5380>, we have <2192> no <3756> such <5108> custom <4914>,
neither <3761> the churches <1577> of God <2316>.
17. Now <1161> in this <5124> that I declare <3853> [unto you]
I praise <1867> [you] not, that ye come <4905> together <4905>
not for the better <2909>, but for the worse <2276>.
18 For first <4412> of all, when ye come <4905> together
<4905> in the church <1577>, I hear <191> that there be
divisions <4978> among <1722> you; and I partly <5100> believe
<4100> it.
19 For there must <1163> be also <2532> heresies <139> among
<1722> you, that they which are approved <1384> may be made
<1096> manifest <5318> among <1722> you.
20 When ye come <4905> together <4905> therefore <3767> into
<1909> one <846> place, [this] is not to eat <5315> the Lord's
<2960> supper <1173>.
21 For in eating <5315> every <1538> one taketh <4301> before
<4301> [other] his own <2398> supper <1173>: and one <3303> is
hungry <3983>, and another <3739> is drunken <3184>.
22 What <1063>? have <2192> ye not houses <3614> to eat <2068>
and to drink <4095> in? or <2228> despise <2706> ye the church
<1577> of God <2316>, and shame <2617> them that have <2192>
not? What <5101> shall I say <2036> to you? shall I praise
<1867> you in this <5129>? I praise <1867> [you] not.
23. For I have received <3880> of the Lord <2962> that which
<3739> also <2532> I delivered <3860> unto you, That the Lord
<2962> Jesus <2424> the [same <846>] night <3571> in which
<3739> he was betrayed <3860> took <2983> bread <740>:
24 And when he had given thanks <2168>, he brake <2806> [it],
and said <2036>, Take <2983>, eat <5315>: this <5124> is my body
<4983>, which <3588> is broken <2806> for you: this <5124> do
<4160> in remembrance <364> of me.
25 After <5615> the same <5615> manner <5615> also <2532> [he
took] the cup <4221>, when <3326> he had supped <1172>, saying
<3004>, This <5124> cup <4221> is the new <2537> testament
<1242> in my blood <129>: this <5124> do <4160> ye, as oft
<3740> as ye drink <4095> [it], in remembrance <364> of me.
26 For as often <3740> as ye eat <2068> this <5126> bread
<740>, and drink <4095> this <5124> cup <4221>, ye do shew
<2605> the Lord's <2962> death <2288> till <3757> he come <2064>.
27 Wherefore <5620> whosoever <302> shall eat <2068> this
<5126> bread <740>, and drink <4095> [this <5126>] cup <4221> of
the Lord <2962>, unworthily <371>, shall be guilty <1777> of the
body <4983> and blood <129> of the Lord <2962>.
28 But let a man <444> examine <1381> himself <1438>, and so
<3779> let him eat <2068> of [that] bread <740>, and drink
<4095> of [that] cup <4221>.
29 For he that eateth <2068> and drinketh <4095> unworthily
<371>, eateth <2068> and drinketh <4095> damnation <2917> to
himself <1438>, not discerning <1252> the Lord's <2962> body
<4983>.
30 For this <5124> cause <1223> many <4183> [are] weak <770>
and sickly <732> among <1722> you, and many <2425> sleep <2837>.
31 For if <1487> we would judge <1252> ourselves <1438>, we
should not be judged <2919>.
32 But when we are judged <2919>, we are chastened <3811> of
the Lord <2962>, that we should not be condemned <2632> with the
world <2889>.
33 Wherefore <5620>, my brethren <80>, when ye come <4905>
together <4905> to eat <5315>, tarry <1551> one <240> for
another <240>.
34 And if <1487> any <5100> man hunger <3983>, let him eat
<2068> at <1722> home <3624>; that ye come <4905> not together
<4905> unto condemnation <2917>. And the rest <3062> will I set
<1299> in order <1299> when <5613> I come <2064>.
1Corinthians 12
1. Now <1161> concerning <4012> spiritual <4152> [gifts],
brethren <80>, I would <2309> not have you ignorant <50>.
2 Ye know <1492> that ye were Gentiles <1484>, carried <520>
away <520> unto these <3588> dumb <880> idols <1497>, even
<5613> as ye were led <71>.
3 Wherefore <1352> I give you to understand <1107>, that no
<3762> man <3762> speaking <2980> by the Spirit <4151> of God
<2316> calleth <3004> Jesus <2424> accursed <331>: and [that] no
<3762> man <3762> can <1410> say <2036> that Jesus <2424> is the
Lord <2962>, but by the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
4 Now <1161> there are diversities <1243> of gifts <5486>, but
the same <846> Spirit <4151>.
5 And there are differences <1243> of administrations <1248>,
but the same <846> Lord <2962>.
6 And there are diversities <1243> of operations <1755>, but
it is the same <846> God <2316> which <3588> worketh <1754> all
<3956> in all <3956>.
7 But the manifestation <5321> of the Spirit <4151> is given
<1325> to every <1538> man <1538> to profit <4851> withal.
8 For to one <3303> is given <1325> by the Spirit <4151> the
word <3056> of wisdom <4678>; to another <243> the word <3056>
of knowledge <1108> by the same <846> Spirit <4151>;
9 To another <2087> faith <4102> by the same <846> Spirit
<4151>; to another <243> the gifts <5486> of healing <2386> by
the same <846> Spirit <4151>;
10 To another <243> the working <1755> of miracles <1411>; to
another <243> prophecy <4394>; to another <243> discerning
<1253> of spirits <4151>; to another <2087> [divers] kinds
<1085> of tongues <1100>; to another <243> the interpretation
<2058> of tongues <1100>:
11 But all <3956> these <5023> worketh <1754> that one <1520>
and the selfsame <846> Spirit <4151>, dividing <1244> to every
<1538> man <1538> severally <2398> as he will <1014>.
12. For as the body <4983> is one <1520>, and hath <2192> many
<4183> members <3196>, and all <3956> the members <3196> of that
one <1520> body <4983>, being <5607> many <4183>, are one <1520>
body <4983>: so <3779> also <2532> [is] Christ <5547>.
13 For by one <1520> Spirit <4151> are we all <3956> baptized
<907> into <1519> one <1520> body <4983>, whether <1535> [we be]
Jews <2453> or <1535> Gentiles <1672>, whether <1535> [we be]
bond <1401> or <1535> free <1658>; and have been all <3956> made
<4222> to drink <4222> into <1519> one <1520> Spirit <4151>.
14 For the body <4983> is not one <1520> member <3196>, but
many <4183>.
15 If <1437> the foot <4228> shall say <2036>, Because <3754>
I am <1510> not the hand <5495>, I am <1510> not of the body
<4983>; is it therefore <5124> not of the body <4983>?
16 And if <1437> the ear <3775> shall say <2036>, Because
<3754> I am <1510> not the eye <3788>, I am <1510> not of the
body <4983>; is it therefore <5124> not of the body <4983>?
17 If <1487> the whole <3650> body <4983> [were] an eye <3788>,
where <4226> [were] the hearing <189>? If <1487> the whole
<3650> [were] hearing <189>, where <4226> [were] the smelling
<3750>?
18 But now <3570> hath God <2316> set <5087> the members
<3196> every <1538> one <1520> of them in the body <4983>, as it
hath pleased <2309> him.
19 And if <1487> they were all <3956> one <1520> member <3196>,
where <4226> [were] the body <4983>?
20 But now <3568> [are they] many <4183> members <3196>, yet
<1161> but one <1520> body <4983>.
21 And the eye <3788> cannot <1410> say <2036> unto the hand
<5495>, I have <2192> no <3756> need <5532> of thee: nor <2228>
again <3825> the head <2776> to the feet <4228>, I have <2192>
no <3756> need <5532> of you.
22 Nay <235>, much <4183> more <3123> those <3588> members
<3196> of the body <4983>, which seem <1380> to be more feeble
<772>, are necessary <316>:
23 And those [members] of the body <4983>, which <3739> we
think <1380> to be less <820> honourable <820>, upon these
<5125> we bestow <4060> more <4055> abundant <4055> honour
<5092>; and our uncomely <809> [parts] have <2192> more <4055>
abundant <4055> comeliness <2157>.
24 For our comely <2158> [parts] have <2192> no <3756> need
<5532>: but God <2316> hath tempered <4786> the body <4983>
together <4786>, having given <1325> more <4055> abundant <4055>
honour <5092> to that [part] which lacked <5302>:
25 That there should be no <3361> schism <4978> in the body
<4983>; but [that] the members <3196> should have the same <846>
care <3309> one <240> for another <240>.
26 And whether <1535> one <1520> member <3196> suffer <3958>,
all <3956> the members <3196> suffer <4841> with it; or <1535>
one <1520> member <3196> be honoured <1392>, all <3956> the
members <3196> rejoice <4796> with it.
27. Now <1161> ye are the body <4983> of Christ <5547>, and
members <3196> in particular <3313>.
28 And God <2316> hath set <5087> some <3588> in the church
<1577>, first <4412> apostles <652>, secondarily <1208> prophets
<4396>, thirdly <5154> teachers <1320>, after <1899> that
miracles <1411>, then <1534> gifts <5486> of healings <2386>,
helps <484>, governments <2941>, diversities <1085> of tongues
<1100>.
29 [Are] all <3956> apostles <652>? [are] all <3956> prophets
<4396>? [are] all <3956> teachers <1320>? [are] all <3956>
workers <1411> of miracles <1411>?
30 Have <2192> all <3956> the gifts <5486> of healing <2386>?
do all <3956> speak <2980> with tongues <1100>? do all <3956>
interpret <1329>?
31 But covet <2206> earnestly <2206> the best <2909> gifts
<5486>: and yet <2089> shew <1166> I unto you a more <5236>
excellent <5236> way <3598>.
1Corinthians 13
1. Though <1437> I speak <2980> with the tongues <1100> of men
<444> and of angels <32>, and have <2192> not charity <26>, I am
become <1096> [as] sounding <2278> brass <5475>, or <2228> a
tinkling <214> cymbal <2950>.
2 And though <1437> I have <2192> [the gift of] prophecy
<4394>, and understand <1492> all <3956> mysteries <3466>, and
all <3956> knowledge <1108>; and though <1437> I have <2192> all
<3956> faith <4102>, so <5620> that I could remove <3179>
mountains <3735>, and have <2192> not charity <26>, I am <1510>
nothing <3762>.
3 And though <1437> I bestow <5595> all <3956> my goods <5224>
to feed <5595> [the poor], and though <1437> I give <3860> my
body <4983> to be burned <2545>, and have <2192> not charity
<26>, it profiteth <5623> me nothing <3762>.
4. Charity <26> suffereth <3114> long <3114>, [and] is kind
<5541>; charity <26> envieth <2206> not; charity <26> vaunteth
<4068> not itself, is not puffed <5448> up,
5 Doth not behave <807> itself unseemly, seeketh <2212> not
her own <1438>, is not easily provoked <3947>, thinketh <3049>
no <3756> evil <2556>;
6 Rejoiceth <5463> not in iniquity <93>, but rejoiceth <4796>
in the truth <225>;
7 Beareth <4722> all <3956> things, believeth <4100> all
<3956> things, hopeth <1679> all <3956> things, endureth <5278>
all <3956> things.
8. Charity <26> never <3763> faileth <1601>: but whether <1535>
[there be] prophecies <4394>, they shall fail <2673>; whether
<1535> [there be] tongues <1100>, they shall cease <3973>;
whether <1535> [there be] knowledge <1108>, it shall vanish
<2673> away <2673>.
9 For we know <1097> in part <3313>, and we prophesy <4395> in
part <3313>.
10 But when <3752> that which is perfect <5046> is come <2064>,
then <5119> that which is in part <3313> shall be done <2673>
away <2673>.
11 When <3753> I was a child <3516>, I spake <2980> as a child
<3516>, I understood <5426> as a child <3516>, I thought <3049>
as a child <3516>: but when <3753> I became <1096> a man <435>,
I put <2673> away <2673> childish <3516> things.
12 For now <737> we see <991> through <1223> a glass <2072>,
darkly <135>; but then <5119> face <4383> to face <4383>: now
<737> I know <1097> in part <3313>; but then <5119> shall I know
<1921> even <2531> as also <2532> I am known <1921>.
13 And now <3570> abideth <3306> faith <4102>, hope <1680>,
charity <26>, these <5023> three <5140>; but the greatest <3187>
of these <5130> [is] charity <26>.
1Corinthians 14
1. Follow <1377> after charity <26>, and desire <2206>
spiritual <4152> [gifts], but rather <3123> that ye may prophesy
<4395>.
2 For he that speaketh <2980> in an [unknown] tongue <1100>
speaketh <2980> not unto men <444>, but unto God <2316>: for no
<3762> man <3762> understandeth <191> [him]; howbeit in the
spirit <4151> he speaketh <2980> mysteries <3466>.
3 But he that prophesieth <4395> speaketh <2980> unto men
<444> [to] edification <3619>, and exhortation <3874>, and
comfort <3889>.
4 He that speaketh <2980> in an [unknown] tongue <1100>
edifieth <3618> himself <1438>; but he that prophesieth <4395>
edifieth <3618> the church <1577>.
5 I would <2309> that ye all <3956> spake <2980> with tongues
<1100>, but rather <3123> that ye prophesied <4395>: for greater
<3187> [is] he that prophesieth <4395> than <2228> he that
speaketh <2980> with tongues <1100>, except <1508> he interpret
<1329>, that the church <1577> may receive <2983> edifying
<3619>.
6. Now <3570>, brethren <80>, if <1437> I come <2064> unto you
speaking <2980> with tongues <1100>, what <5101> shall I profit
<5623> you, except <3362> I shall speak <2980> to you either
<2228> by revelation <602>, or <2228> by knowledge <1108>, or
<2228> by prophesying <4394>, or <2228> by doctrine <1322>?
7 And even <3676> things without <895> life <895> giving
<1325> sound <5456>, whether <1535> pipe <836> or <1535> harp
<2788>, except <3362> they give <1325> a distinction <1293> in
the sounds <5353>, how <4459> shall it be known <1097> what
<3588> is piped <832> or <2228> harped <2789>?
8 For if <1437> the trumpet <4536> give <1325> an uncertain
<82> sound <5456>, who <5101> shall prepare <3903> himself to
the battle <4171>?
9 So <3779> likewise <2532> ye, except <3362> ye utter <1325>
by the tongue <1100> words <3056> easy <2154> to be understood
<2154>, how <4459> shall it be known <1097> what <3588> is
spoken <2980>? for ye shall speak <2980> into <1519> the air
<109>.
10 There are, it may be, so <5118> many <5118> kinds <1085> of
voices <5456> in the world <2889>, and none <3762> of them [is]
without <880> signification <880>.
11 Therefore <3767> if <1437> I know <1492> not the meaning
<1411> of the voice <5456>, I shall be unto him that speaketh
<2980> a barbarian <915>, and he that speaketh <2980> [shall be]
a barbarian <915> unto me.
12 Even <2532> so <3779> ye, forasmuch <1893> as ye are
zealous <2207> of spiritual <4151> [gifts], seek <2212> that ye
may excel <4052> to the edifying <3619> of the church <1577>.
13 Wherefore <1355> let him that speaketh <2980> in an
[unknown] tongue <1100> pray <4336> that he may interpret <1329>.
14 For if <1437> I pray <4336> in an [unknown] tongue <1100>,
my spirit <4151> prayeth <4336>, but my understanding <3563> is
unfruitful <175>.
15. What <5101> is it then <3767>? I will pray <4336> with the
spirit <4151>, and I will pray <4336> with the understanding
<3563> also <2532>: I will sing <5567> with the spirit <4151>,
and I will sing <5567> with the understanding <3563> also <2532>.
16 Else <1893> when <1437> thou shalt bless <2127> with the
spirit <4151>, how <4459> shall he that occupieth <378> the room
<5117> of the unlearned <2399> say <2046> Amen <281> at <1909>
thy giving of thanks <2169>, seeing <1894> he understandeth
<1492> not what <5101> thou sayest <3004>?
17 For thou verily <3303> givest thanks <2168> well <2573>,
but the other <2087> is not edified <3618>.
18 I thank <2168> my God <2316>, I speak <2980> with tongues
<1100> more <3123> than ye all <3956>:
19 Yet <235> in the church <1577> I had rather <2309> speak
<2980> five <4002> words <3056> with my understanding <3563>,
that [by my voice] I might teach <2727> others <243> also <2532>,
than <2228> ten <3463> thousand <3463> words <3056> in an
[unknown] tongue <1100>.
20 Brethren <80>, be not children <3813> in understanding
<5424>: howbeit <235> in malice <2549> be ye children <3515>,
but in understanding <5424> be men <5046>.
21. In the law <3551> it is written <1125>, With [men of] other
<2084> tongues <2084> and other <2087> lips <5491> will I speak
<2980> unto this <5129> people <2992>; and yet for all <3779>
that will they not hear <1522> me, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>.
22 Wherefore <5620> tongues <1100> are for a sign <4592>, not
to them that believe <4100>, but to them that believe <571> not:
but prophesying <4394> [serveth] not for them that believe <571>
not, but for them which believe <4100>.
23 If <1437> therefore <3767> the whole <3650> church <1577>
be come <4905> together <4905> into <1909> one <846> place, and
all <3956> speak <2980> with tongues <1100>, and there come
<1525> in [those that are] unlearned <2399>, or <2228>
unbelievers <571>, will they not say <2046> that ye are mad
<3105>?
24 But if <1437> all <3956> prophesy <4395>, and there come
<1525> in one <5100> that believeth <571> not, or <2228> [one]
unlearned <2399>, he is convinced <1651> of all <3956>, he is
judged <350> of all <3956>:
25 And thus <3779> are the secrets <2927> of his heart <2588>
made <1096> manifest <5318>; and so <3779> falling <4098> down
on <1909> [his] face <4383> he will worship <4352> God <2316>,
and report <518> that God <2316> is in you of a truth <3689>.
26. How <5101> is it then <3767>, brethren <80>? when <3752> ye
come <4905> together <4905>, every <1538> one of you hath <2192>
a psalm <5568>, hath <2192> a doctrine <1322>, hath <2192> a
tongue <1100>, hath <2192> a revelation <602>, hath <2192> an
interpretation <2058>. Let all <3956> things be done <1096> unto
edifying <3619>.
27 If <1535> any <5100> man speak <2980> in an [unknown]
tongue <1100>, [let it be] by two <1417>, or <2228> at the most
<4119> [by] three <5140>, and [that] by course <3313>; and let
one <1520> interpret <1329>.
28 But if <1437> there be no <3361> interpreter <1328>, let
him keep <4601> silence <4601> in the church <1577>; and let him
speak <2980> to himself <1438>, and to God <2316>.
29 Let the prophets <4396> speak <2980> two <1417> or <2228>
three <5140>, and let the other <243> judge <1252>.
30 If <1437> [any thing] be revealed <601> to another <243>
that sitteth <2521> by, let the first <4413> hold <4601> his
peace <4601>.
31 For ye may <1410> all <3956> prophesy <4395> one by one
<1520>, that all <3956> may learn <3129>, and all <3956> may be
comforted <3870>.
32 And the spirits <4151> of the prophets <4396> are subject
<5293> to the prophets <4396>.
33 For God <2316> is not [the author] of confusion <181>, but
of peace <1515>, as in all <3956> churches <1577> of the saints
<40>.
34. Let your <5216> women <1135> keep <4601> silence <4601> in
the churches <1577>: for it is not permitted <2010> unto them to
speak <2980>; but [they are commanded] to be under <5293>
obedience <5293>, as also <2532> saith <3004> the law <3551>.
35 And if <1487> they will <2309> learn <3129> any <5100>
thing, let them ask <1905> their husbands <435> at <1722> home
<3624>: for it is a shame <149> for women <1135> to speak <2980>
in the church <1577>.
36. What <2228>? came <1831> the word <3056> of God <2316> out
from you? or <2228> came <2658> it unto you only <3441>?
37 If <1487> any <1536> man think <1380> himself to be a
prophet <4396>, or <2228> spiritual <4152>, let him acknowledge
<1921> that the things that I write <1125> unto you are the
commandments <1785> of the Lord <2962>.
38 But if <1487> any <1536> man be ignorant <50>, let him be
ignorant <50>.
39 Wherefore <5620>, brethren <80>, covet <2206> to prophesy
<4395>, and forbid <2967> not to speak <2980> with tongues
<1100>.
40 Let all <3956> things be done <1096> decently <2156> and in
order <5010>.
1Corinthians 15
1. Moreover <1161>, brethren <80>, I declare <1107> unto you
the gospel <2098> which <3739> I preached <2097> unto you, which
<3739> also <2532> ye have received <3880>, and wherein <3757>
ye stand <2476>;
2 By which <3739> also <2532> ye are saved <4982>, if <1487>
ye keep <2722> in memory what <5101> I preached <2097> unto you,
unless <1622> ye have believed <4100> in vain <1500>.
3 For I delivered <3860> unto you first <4413> of all that
which <3739> I also <2532> received <3880>, how that Christ
<5547> died <599> for our sins <266> according <2596> to the
scriptures <1124>;
4 And that he was buried <2290>, and that he rose <1453> again
<1453> the third <5154> day <2250> according <2596> to the
scriptures <1124>:
5 And that he was seen <3700> of Cephas <2786>, then <1534> of
the twelve <1427>:
6 After <1899> that, he was seen <3700> of above <1883> five
<4001> hundred <4001> brethren <80> at <2178> once <2178>; of
whom <3739> the greater <4119> part <4119> remain <3306> unto
this present <737>, but some <5100> are fallen <2837> asleep
<2837>.
7 After <1899> that, he was seen <3700> of James <2385>; then
<1534> of all <3956> the apostles <652>.
8 And last <2078> of all <3956> he was seen <3700> of me also
<2504>, as of one born <1626> out of due time.
9 For I am <1510> the least <1646> of the apostles <652>, that
am <1510> not meet <2425> to be called <2563> an apostle <652>,
because <1360> I persecuted <1377> the church <1577> of God
<2316>.
10 But by the grace <5485> of God <2316> I am <1510> what
<3739> I am <1510>: and his grace <5485> which [was bestowed]
upon me was not in vain <2756>; but I laboured <2872> more
<4055> abundantly <4054> than they all <3956>: yet <1161> not I,
but the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> was with me.
11 Therefore <3767> whether <1535> [it were] I or <1535> they,
so <3779> we preach <2784>, and so <3779> ye believed <4100>.
12. Now <1161> if <1487> Christ <5547> be preached <2784> that
he rose <1453> from the dead <3498>, how <4459> say <3004> some
<5100> among <1722> you that there is no <3756> resurrection
<386> of the dead <3498>?
13 But if <1487> there be no <3756> resurrection <386> of the
dead <3498>, then <3761> is Christ <5547> not risen <1453>:
14 And if <1487> Christ <5547> be not risen <1453>, then <686>
[is] our preaching <2782> vain <2756>, and your <5216> faith
<4102> [is] also <2532> vain <2756>.
15 Yea <1161>, and we are found <2147> false <5575> witnesses
<5575> of God <2316>; because <3754> we have testified <3140> of
God <2316> that he raised <1453> up Christ <5547>: whom <3739>
he raised <1453> not up, if <1512> so <686> be that the dead
<3498> rise <1453> not.
16 For if <1487> the dead <3498> rise <1453> not, then <3761>
is not Christ <5547> raised <1453>:
17 And if <1487> Christ <5547> be not raised <1453>, your
<5216> faith <4102> [is] vain <3152>; ye are yet <2089> in your
<5216> sins <266>.
18 Then <686> they also <2532> which are fallen <2837> asleep
<2837> in Christ <5547> are perished <622>.
19 If <1487> in this <5126> life <2222> only <3440> we have
<2070> hope <1679> in Christ <5547>, we are of all <3956> men
<444> most miserable <1652>.
20. But now <3570> is Christ <5547> risen <1453> from the dead
<3498>, [and] become <1096> the firstfruits <536> of them that
slept <2837>.
21 For since <1894> by man <444> [came] death <2288>, by man
<444> [came] also <2532> the resurrection <386> of the dead
<3498>.
22 For as in Adam <76> all <3956> die <599>, even <2532> so
<3779> in Christ <5547> shall all <3956> be made <2227> alive
<2227>.
23 But every <1538> man in his own <2398> order <5001>: Christ
<5547> the firstfruits <536>; afterward <1899> they that are
Christ's <5547> at <1722> his coming <3952>.
24 Then <1534> [cometh] the end <5056>, when <3752> he shall
have delivered <3860> up the kingdom <932> to God <2316>, even
<2532> the Father <3962>; when <3752> he shall have put <2673>
down <2673> all <3956> rule <746> and all <3956> authority
<1849> and power <1411>.
25 For he must <1163> reign <936>, till <3757> he hath put
<5087> all <3956> enemies <2190> under <5259> his feet <4228>.
26 The last <2078> enemy <2190> [that] shall be destroyed
<2673> [is] death <2288>.
27 For he hath put <5293> all <3956> things under <5259> his
feet <4228>. But when <3752> he saith <2036> all <3956> things
are put <5293> under <5259> [him, it is] manifest <1212> that he
is excepted <1622>, which did put <5293> all <3956> things under
<5293> him.
28 And when <3752> all <3956> things shall be subdued <5293>
unto him, then <5119> shall the Son <5207> also <2532> himself
<846> be subject <5293> unto him that put <5293> all <3956>
things under <5293> him, that God <2316> may be all <3956> in
all <3956>.
29 Else <1893> what <5101> shall they do <4160> which are
baptized <907> for the dead <3498>, if <1487> the dead <3498>
rise <1453> not at <3654> all <3654>? why <5101> are they then
baptized <907> for the dead <3498>?
30 And why <5101> stand we in jeopardy <2793> every <3956>
hour <5610>?
31 I protest <3513> by your <5212> rejoicing <2746> which
<3739> I have <2192> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our Lord
<2962>, I die <599> daily <2250>.
32 If <1487> after <2596> the manner of men <444> I have
fought <2341> with beasts <2341> at <1722> Ephesus <2181>, what
<5101> advantageth <3786> it me, if <1487> the dead <3498> rise
<1453> not? let us eat <5315> and drink <4095>; for to morrow
<839> we die <599>.
33 Be not deceived <4105>: evil <2556> communications <3657>
corrupt <5351> good <5543> manners <2239>.
34 Awake <1594> to righteousness <1346>, and sin <264> not;
for some <5100> have <2192> not the knowledge <56> of God <2316>:
I speak <3004> [this] to your <5213> shame <1791>.
35. But some <5100> [man] will say <2046>, How <4459> are the
dead <3498> raised <1453> up? and with what <4169> body <4983>
do they come <2064>?
36 [Thou] fool <878>, that which <3739> thou sowest <4687> is
not quickened <2227>, except <3362> it die <599>:
37 And that which <3739> thou sowest <4687>, thou sowest
<4687> not that body <4983> that shall be, but bare <1131> grain
<2848>, it may chance <5177> of wheat <4621>, or <2228> of some
<5100> other <3062> [grain]:
38 But God <2316> giveth <1325> it a body <4983> as it hath
pleased <2309> him, and to every <1538> seed <4690> his own
<2398> body <4983>.
39 All <4561> flesh <4561> [is] not the same <846> flesh
<4561>: but [there is] one <243> [kind of] flesh <4561> of men
<444>, another <243> flesh <4561> of beasts <2934>, another
<243> of fishes <2486>, [and] another <243> of birds <4421>.
40 [There are] also <2532> celestial <2032> bodies <4983>, and
bodies <4983> terrestrial <1919>: but the glory <1391> of the
celestial <2032> [is] one <2087>, and the [glory <1391>] of the
terrestrial <1919> [is] another <2087>.
41 [There is] one <243> glory <1391> of the sun <2246>, and
another <243> glory <1391> of the moon <4582>, and another <243>
glory <1391> of the stars <792>: for [one] star <792> differeth
<1308> from [another] star <792> in glory <1391>.
42 So <3779> also <2532> [is] the resurrection <386> of the
dead <3498>. It is sown <4687> in corruption <5356>; it is
raised <1453> in incorruption <861>:
43 It is sown <4687> in dishonour <819>; it is raised <1453>
in glory <1391>: it is sown <4687> in weakness <769>; it is
raised <1453> in power <1411>:
44 It is sown <4687> a natural <5591> body <4983>; it is
raised <1453> a spiritual <4152> body <4983>. There is a natural
<5591> body <4983>, and there is a spiritual <4152> body <4983>.
45 And so <3779> it is written <1125>, The first <4413> man
<444> Adam <76> was made <1096> a living <2198> soul <5590>; the
last <2078> Adam <76> [was made] a quickening <2227> spirit
<4151>.
46 Howbeit <235> that [was] not first <4412> which is
spiritual <4152>, but that which is natural <5591>; and
afterward <1899> that which is spiritual <4152>.
47 The first <4413> man <444> [is] of the earth <1093>, earthy
<5517>: the second <1208> man <444> [is] the Lord <2962> from
heaven <3772>.
48 As [is] the earthy <5517>, such <5108> [are] they also
<2532> that are earthy <5517>: and as [is] the heavenly <2032>,
such <5108> [are] they also <2532> that are heavenly <2032>.
49 And as we have borne <5409> the image <1504> of the earthy
<5517>, we shall also <2532> bear <5409> the image of the
heavenly <2032>.
50 Now <1161> this <5124> I say <5346>, brethren <80>, that
flesh <4561> and blood <129> cannot <1410> inherit <2816> the
kingdom <932> of God <2316>; neither <3761> doth corruption
<5356> inherit <2816> incorruption <861>.
51. Behold <2400>, I shew <3004> you a mystery <3466>; We shall
not all <3956> sleep <2837>, but we shall all <3956> be changed
<236>,
52 In a moment <823>, in the twinkling <4493> of an eye <3788>,
at <1722> the last <2078> trump <4536>: for the trumpet shall
sound <4537>, and the dead <3498> shall be raised <1453>
incorruptible <862>, and we shall be changed <236>.
53 For this <5124> corruptible <5349> must <1163> put <1746>
on <1746> incorruption <861>, and this <5124> mortal <2349>
[must] put <1746> on <1746> immortality <110>.
54 So <1161> when <3752> this <5124> corruptible <5349> shall
have put <1746> on <1746> incorruption <861>, and this <5124>
mortal <2349> shall have put <1746> on <1746> immortality <110>,
then <5119> shall be brought <1096> to pass the saying <3056>
that is written <1125>, Death <2288> is swallowed <2666> up in
victory <3534>.
55 O death <2288>, where <4226> [is] thy sting <2759>? O grave
<86>, where <4226> [is] thy victory <3534>?
56 The sting <2759> of death <2288> [is] sin <266>; and the
strength <1411> of sin <266> [is] the law <3551>.
57 But thanks <5485> [be] to God <2316>, which <3588> giveth
<1325> us the victory <3534> through <1223> our Lord <2962>
Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
58. Therefore <5620>, my beloved <27> brethren <80>, be ye
stedfast <1476>, unmoveable <277>, always <3842> abounding
<4052> in the work <2041> of the Lord <2962>, forasmuch as ye
know <1492> that your <5216> labour <2873> is not in vain <2756>
in the Lord <2962>.
1Corinthians 16
1. Now <1161> concerning <4012> the collection <3048> for the
saints <40>, as I have given order <1299> to the churches <1577>
of Galatia <1053>, even <2532> so <3779> do <4160> ye.
2 Upon the first <3391> [day] of the week <4521> let every
<1538> one of you lay <5087> by him in store <2343>, as [God]
hath prospered <2137> him, that there be no <3361> gatherings
<3048> when <3752> I come <2064>.
3 And when <3752> I come <3854>, whomsoever <1437> ye shall
approve <1381> by [your] letters <1992>, them will I send <3992>
to bring <667> your <5216> liberality <5485> unto Jerusalem
<2419>.
4 And if <1437> it be meet <514> that I go <4198> also <2504>,
they shall go <4198> with me.
5. Now <1161> I will come <2064> unto you, when <3752> I shall
pass <1330> through <1330> Macedonia <3109>: for I do pass
<1330> through <1330> Macedonia <3109>.
6 And it may be that I will abide <3887>, yea <2228>, and
winter <3914> with you, that ye may bring <4311> me on my
journey whithersoever <1437> I go <4198>.
7 For I will <2309> not see <1492> you now <737> by the way
<3938>; but I trust <1679> to tarry <1961> a while <5099> with
you, if <1437> the Lord <2962> permit <2010>.
8 But I will tarry <1961> at <1722> Ephesus <2181> until
<2193> Pentecost <4005>.
9 For a great <3173> door <2374> and effectual <1756> is
opened <455> unto me, and [there are] many <4183> adversaries
<480>.
10. Now <1161> if <1437> Timotheus <5095> come <2064>, see
<991> that he may be with you without <870> fear <870>: for he
worketh <2038> the work <2041> of the Lord <2962>, as I also
<2532> [do].
11 Let no <3361> man <5100> therefore <3767> despise <1848>
him: but conduct <4311> him forth <4311> in peace <1515>, that
he may come <2064> unto me: for I look <1551> for him with the
brethren <80>.
12 As touching <4012> [our] brother <80> Apollos <625>, I
greatly <4183> desired <3870> him to come <2064> unto you with
the brethren <80>: but his will <2307> was not at <3843> all
<3843> to come <2064> at <3568> this <3568> time <3598>; but he
will come <2064> when <3752> he shall have convenient <2119>
time <2119>.
13. Watch <1127> ye, stand <4739> fast in the faith <4102>,
quit <407> you like <407> men <407>, be strong <2901>.
14 Let all <3956> your <5216> things be done <1096> with
charity <26>.
15 I beseech <3870> you, brethren <80>, (ye know <1492> the
house <3614> of Stephanas <4734>, that it is the firstfruits
<536> of Achaia <882>, and [that] they have addicted <5021>
themselves <1438> to the ministry <1248> of the saints <40>,)
16 That ye submit <5293> yourselves unto such <5108>, and to
every <3956> one that helpeth <4903> with [us], and laboureth
<2872>.
17 I am glad <5463> of the coming <3952> of Stephanas <4734>
and Fortunatus <5415> and Achaicus <883>: for that which was
lacking <5303> on your <5216> part they have supplied <378>.
18 For they have refreshed <373> my spirit <4151> and yours
<5216>: therefore <3767> acknowledge <1921> ye them that are
such <5108>.
19. The churches <1577> of Asia <773> salute <782> you. Aquila
<207> and Priscilla <4252> salute <782> you much <4183> in the
Lord <2962>, with the church <1577> that is in their house
<3624>.
20 All <3956> the brethren <80> greet <782> you. Greet <782>
ye one <240> another <240> with an holy <40> kiss <5370>.
21 The salutation <783> of [me] Paul <3972> with mine <1699>
own <1699> hand <5495>.
22 If <1487> any <1536> man love <5368> not the Lord <2962>
Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, let him be Anathema <331> Maranatha
<3134>.
23 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547> [be] with you.
24 My love <26> [be] with you all <3956> in Christ <5547>
Jesus <2424>. Amen <281>.
