Wherefore, my brethren ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be m j}arried to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that weshould bring forth fruit unto God. For when we were in th k}e flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.But now we are l}delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldne m}ss of the letter.What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not n} known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all ma o}nner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, p} sin revived, and I died.And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.For sin, taking occasion q} by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. r}Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that w s}hich is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carn t}al, sold under sin.For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.If then I d u}o that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth v}in me.For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perfo w}rm that which is good I find not.For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.Now if I do x}that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evi y}l is present with me.For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:But I see another law in my members, warring agai z}nst the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.O wretched man that I am! wh {}o shall deliver me from the body of this death?I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself ser |}ve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself ser 700039There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the S~}pirit.For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.For what the law co}uld not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, cond}emned sin in the flesh:That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after t}he Spirit.For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things o}f the Spirit.For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.Because the carnal mind is }enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.So then they that are in the flesh cannot} please God.But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man hav}e not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is li}fe because of righteousness.But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Chri}st from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.Therefore, brethren, we are debtor}s, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do m}ortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.For ye ha}ve not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Fathe}r.The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:And if children, then heirs; heirs of }God, and jointheirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.For I reckon that }the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.For the earne}st expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.For the creature was made subject to vanity,} not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,Because the creature itself also shall be delivered} from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.For we know that the whole creation groanet}h and travaileth in pain together until now.And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit,} even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.For we are saved by }hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?But if we hope for what we see not, }then do we with patience wait for it.Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray f}or as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which can not be uttered.And he that searche}th the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of }God.And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his pu}rpose.For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first}born among many brethren.Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified:} and whom he justified, them he also glorified.What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against }us?He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things}?Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ th}at died, yea, rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.Who sha}ll separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or} sword?As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.Nay, in a}ll these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor }angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature}, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. t, nor depth, nor any other creatureY00033I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,That I have great heavin}ess and continual sorrow in my heart.For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen acco}rding to the flesh:Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of }the law, and the service of God, and the promises;Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, wh}o is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel,} which are of Israel:Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be c}alled.That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise }are counted for the seed.For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.And not only} this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;(For the children being not yet born, neither ha}ving done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;})It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.What }shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will hav}e mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that ru}nneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up,} that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.Therefore hath he mercy on }whom he will have mercy, and whom he will be hardeneth.Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath }resisted his will?Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, }Why hast thou made me thus?Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and ano}ther unto dishonour?What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the} vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which }he had afore prepared unto glory,Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?As he saith a}lso in O'see, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.And it shall come} to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the} living God.Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a r}emnant shall be saved:For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord mak}e upon the earth.And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been m}ade like unto Gomorrha.What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to r}ighteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not a}ttained to the law of righteousness.Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. }For they stumbled at that stumblingstone.As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and w}hosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. s written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and w100021Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.For I bear them record that they} have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to estab}lish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.For Christ is the end of the law f}or righteousness to every one that believeth.For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which }doeth those things shall live by them.But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart,} Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to }bring up Christ again from the dead.)But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is,} the word of faith, which we preach;That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine hea}rt that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with} the mouth confession is made unto salvation.For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.For t}here is not difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.For who}soever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? a}nd how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?And how shall they }preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring }glad tidings of good things!But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?S}o then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went }into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will pro}voke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.But Esaias is very bold, and saith}, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.But to Israel he saith, All }day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people. ot after me.But to Israel he saith, All T00036I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe} of Benjamin.God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maket}h intercession to God against Israel, saying,Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am lef}t alone, and they seek my life.But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who }have not bowed the knee to the image of Ba'al.Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the ele}ction of grace.And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then i}t is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the el}ection hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, ey}es that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.And David saith, Let their table be made a s}nare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bo}w down their back alway.I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salv}ation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the} diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am t}he apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and mi}ght save some of them.For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, }but life from the dead?For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.A}nd if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partak}est of the root and fatness of the olive tree;Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, }but the root thee.Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.Well; because of unbelief th}ey were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:For if God spared not the natural branches, take} heed lest he also spare not thee.Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but towar}d thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.And they also, if they abide not st}ill in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree whic}h is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natu}ral branches, be graffed intotheir own olive tree? For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, le}st ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until thefulness of the Gentiles be} come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away} ungodliness from Jacob:For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.As concerning the gospel, they} are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.For the gifts and calling }of God are without repentance.For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbel}ief:Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.For God hath concluded the}m all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how }unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his }counsellor?Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?For of him, and through him, and to h}im, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. ll be recompensed unto him again?For of him, and through him, and to h600021I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, accepta }ble unto God, which is your reasonable service.And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of }your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.For I say, through the grace given }unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, ac }cording as God hath dealt to every man the measureof faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have no }t the same office:So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.Having then gifts differi }ng according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;Or min!}istry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth!}, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.Let love be withou!}t dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly !}love; in honour preferring one another;Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;Rejoicing in hope; pat!}ient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.Bless them !}which persecute you: bless, and curse not.Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.Be of the same mi!}nd one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.Recompens!}e to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live pe!}aceably with all men.Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance i! }s mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doin! }g thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. him drink: for in so doin d00014Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of % }God.Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselve% }s damnation.For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that w%}hich is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that whi%}ch is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon %}himthat doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.For for this cause%} pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.Render therefore to all their%} dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.Owe no man any thing,%} but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.For this, Thou shalt not commmit adultery, Thou %}shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other comm%}andment, it is brieflycomprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to %}his neighbour: therefore love is fulfilling of the law.And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of %}sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore ca%}st off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and %}drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not p%}rovision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. strife and envying.But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not p$600023Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.For one believeth that he may eat all thing)}s: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not )}judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he stand)}eth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.One man esteemeth one day above another: anoth)}er esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto ) }the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.

Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.L)*}et not then your good be evil spoken of:For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy )+}in the Holy Ghost.For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.Let us therefore fol),}low after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.For meat destroy not the work of God. )-}All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.It is good neither to eat flesh, not to drin).}k wine, not any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.Hast thou faith? have it to thyself bef)/}ore God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, b)0}ecause he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. alloweth.And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, b(G00033We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.Let every one of us ple-2}ase his neighbour for his good to edification.For even Christ pleased not himself: but, as it is written, The reproaches of -3}them that reproached thee fell on me.For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we thr-4}ough patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likemind-5}ed one toward another according to Christ Jesus:That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our -6}Lord Jesus Christ.Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.Now I say that Jesus Chr-7}ist was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:And that the Gent-8}iles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing un-9}to thy name.And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud-:} him, all ye people.And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentil-;}es; in him shall the Gentiles trust.Now the God of hope fill you with a joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in ho-<}pe, through the power of the Holy Ghost.And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodnes-=}s, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto ->}you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,That I should be the minister of J-?}esus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being s-@}anctified by the Holy Ghost.I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.-A}For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by wo-B}rd and deed,Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unt-C}o Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was na-D}med, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: a-E}nd they that have not heard shall understand.For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.But now havi-F}ng no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;Whensoever I take my journey in-G}to Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first -H}I be somewhat filled with your company.But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.For it hath pleased them of -I}Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.It hath pleased them verily; -J}and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to min-K}ister unto them in carnal things.When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by yo-L}u into Spain.And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.-M}Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with m-N}e in your prayers to God with me;That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judea; and that my service which I-O} have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be -P}refreshed.Now the God of peace be with you all.

For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chlo'e, that there are cont5{}entions among you.Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Chr5|}ist.Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?I thank God that I baptized none5}} of you, but Crispus and Gaius;Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.And I baptized also the household o5~}f Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: n5}ot with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.For the preaching of the cross is to them th5}at perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of th5}e wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disp5}uter of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisd5}om knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.For the Jews require a sign, and t5}he Greeks seek after wisdom:But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;5}But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.Because the foolishnes5}s of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not man5}y wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world 5}to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;And base thin5}gs of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things tha5}t are:That no flesh should glory in his presence.But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and 5}righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the L5}ord. ousness, and sanctification, and redemption:That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the L400016And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony 9}of God.For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.And I was with you in weaknes9}s, and in fear, and in much trembling.And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in dem9}onstration of the Spirit and of power:That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.Howbei9}t we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come 9}of nought:But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our 9}glory:Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.9}But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath9} prepared for them that love him.But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea,9} the deep things of God,For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things9} of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of 9}God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.Which things also we speak, not in the words which man9}'s wisdom teacheth; but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.But the natural man receive9}th not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritu9}ally discerned.But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.For who hath known the mind 9}of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. elf is judged of no man.For who hath known the mind 8H00023And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.I have f=}ed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.For ye are yet ca=}rnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?For while one sa=}ith, I am of Paul: and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by wh=}om ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.So then neith=}er is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth increase.Now he that planteth and he that wa=}tereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.For we are labourers together with Go=}d: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuild=}er, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.For othe=}r foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver,=} precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;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.If any man's work abide which he hath built=} thereupon, he shall receive a reward.If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved=}; yet so as by fire.Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?If any man defile=} the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.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.For the wisdom of this world=} is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.And again, The Lord knoweth the thou=}ghts of the wise, that they are vain.Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;Whether Paul or Apollos, o=}r Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;And ye are Christ's; and Chri=}st is God's. he world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;And ye are Christ's; and Chri<00021Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.Moreover it is requireA}d in stewards, that a man be found faithful.But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man'sA} judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth mA}e is the Lord.Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things oA}f darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every manhave praise of God. And these things,A} 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 A}men above that which is written,that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. For who maketh thee to differ from A}another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thouhadst A}not received it? Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, thatA} we also might reign with you.For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for wA}e are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; A}we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirsA}t, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;And labour, working with our own hands: being reviles,A} we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offsA}couring of all things unto this day.I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.For though ye A}have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the goA}spel.Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, aA}nd faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every A}church.Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and willA} know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.What wA}ill ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness? od is not in word, but in power.What w@V00013It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the E}Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done tE}his deed might be taken away from among you.For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as E}though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed.In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gatheredE} together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ.To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of tE}he flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaE}ven leaveneth the whole lump?Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even CE}hrist our passover is sacrificed for us:Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malE}ice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with E}fornicators:Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters;E} for then must ye needs go out of the world.But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called aE} brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one nonotE} to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?But them that are wE}ithout God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. e them that are within?But them that are wDR00020Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?Do ye not knoI}w that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matteI}rs?Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?If then ye have judgments of thinI}gs pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.I speak to your shame. It is so, that theI}re is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?But brother goeth to law with bI}rother, and that before the unbelievers.Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with anotI}her. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, I}and that your brethren.Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither forniI}cators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,Nor thieves, nor covetous, norI} drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.And such were some of you: but ye are washed, bI}ut ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.All things are lawfulI} 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.MI}eats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, butI} for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.KI}now ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of I}an harlot? God forbid.What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flI}esh.But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.Flee fornication. Every sin that man doeth is without the body; but hI}e that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost I}which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in yourI} body, and in your spirit, which are God's. are not your own?For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in yourH-00040Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.Nevertheless, to avoid fM}ornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.Let the husband render unto the wife dM}ue benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and liM}kewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consentM} for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your inM}continency.But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.For I would that all men were even as I myself. But everyM} man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.I say therefore to the unmarried and widows,M} It is good for them if they abide even as I.But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to bM}urn.And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, let not the wife depart from her husband:But and if she departM}, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.But to the rest speakM} 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 awM}ay.And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.FoM}r the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your chM}ildren unclean; but now are they holy.But if the unbelieving depart, let them depart. A brother or a sister is not under bonM}dage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or hM}ow knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called eM}very one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcM}ised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, buM}t the keeping of the commandments of God.Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.Art thou called beinM}g a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.For he that is called in the Lord, being a servM}ant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.Ye are bought with a price; be M}not ye the servants of men.Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.Now concerning virgins I hM}ave no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath ordained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.I supposeM} therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.Art thou bound unto a wife?N} seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a vN}irgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.But this I say, brethreN}n, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;And they that weep, as though N}they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;And they N}that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.But I would have you without carefulness.N} He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:But he that is married caretN}h for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. TheN} 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 N}careth for the things ofthe world, how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may castN } a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attendupon the Lord without distraction. But if any man thiN }nk that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do whN }at he will, he sinnethnot: let them marry. Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hatN }h power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doethwell. So then he that giveth N }her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.The wife is bound by the law as long as her N}husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.But she is haN}ppier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. l; only in the Lord.But she is haL[00013Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieR}th.And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.But if any man love God, the R}same is known of him.As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know thR}at an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.For though there be that are called gods, whethR}er in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)But to us there is but one God, that Father, of whom are aR}ll things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.Howbeit there is not in every manR} that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their consciR}ence being weak is defiled.But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat R}not, are we the worse.But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.FR}or 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 bR}e emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whoR}m Christ died?But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.Wherefore, ifR} meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. erefore, ifPr00027Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?If I be not V}an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.Mine answer to them tV}hat do examine me is this,Have we not power to eat and to drink?Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well aV }s other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Ce'phas?Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?V!}Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedetV"}h a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?For it iV#}s 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 oV$}xen?Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hV%}ope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a grV&}eat thing if we shall reap your carnal things?If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? NeverthelessV'} we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.Do ye not know that they whiV(}ch minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altarV)}?Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.But I have used none of these tV*}hings: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that anV+}y man should make my glorying void.For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon meV,}; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will,V-} a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may makeV.} the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.For though I be free from all men, yet have I V/}made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; toV0} them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;To them that are without law, V1}as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.To V2}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.V3}And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.Know ye not that they which run in a race runV4} all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in alV5}l things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fV6}ight I, not as one that beateth the air:But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, whenV7} I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, whenT<00033Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passZ9}ed through the sea;And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;And did all eat the same spiritual meat;AnZ:}d did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.Z;}But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.Now these things were our examplZ<}es, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; aZ=}s it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.Neither let us commit fornication, as some of theZ>}m committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and weZ?}re destroyed of serpents.Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.Now all thesZ@}e things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.ZA}Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.There hath no temptation taken you but such as is commonZB} to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation alsoZC} make a way toescape, that ye may be able to bear it. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.I speak as to wise mZD}en; judge ye what I say.The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which ZE}we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakZF}ers of that one bread.Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?What sZG}ay I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?But I say, that the thingZH}s which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship withZI} devils.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 tZJ}able of devils.Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?All things are lawful for me, but all things areZK} not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealZL}th.Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:For the earth is the Lord's, and thZM}e fulness thereof.If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before youZN}, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not ZO}for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:Conscience, I sayZP}, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?For if I by grace be a partaker,ZQ} why am I evil spoken of for that which I give thanks?Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to theZR} glory of God.Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:Even as I please all meZS}n in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. f God:Even as I please all meX_00034Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and ^U}keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the hea^V}d of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonou^W}reth his head.But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even al^X}l one as if she were shaven.For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be s^Y}horn or shaven, let her be covered.For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of G^Z}od: but the woman is the glory of the man.For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.Neither was the man cre^[}ated for the woman; but the woman for the man.For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels^\}.Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.For as the woman is of t^]}he man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto^^} God uncovered?Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?But if a woman ^_}have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.But if any man seem to be contentious, we hav^`}e no such custom, neithr the churches of God.Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not^a} for the better, but for the worse.For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions amo^b}ng you; and I partly believe it.For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest^c} among you.When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.For in eating every one tak^d}eth before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? ^e}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 ^f}you not.For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he^g} was betrayed took bread:And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken fo^h}r you: this do in remembrance of me.After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the ^i}new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.For as often as ye eat this bread, and dr^j}ink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the L^k}ord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that^l} bread, and drink of that cup.For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not disc^m}erning the Lord's body.For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.For if we would judge ourselves, w^n}e should not be judged.But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.^o}Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; tha^p}t ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come. man hunger, let him eat at home; tha\Y00031Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unbr}to these dumb idols, even as ye were led.Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God callebs}th Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.Now there are diversities of gifts,bt} but the same Spirit.And there are differences of administration, but the same Lord.And there are diversities of operationsbu}, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withalbv}.For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;To another faithbw} by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;To another the working of miracles; to another prophbx}ecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:But all by}these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.For as the body is one, and hath bz}many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.For by one Spirit are we allb{} baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into oneb|} Spirit.For the body is not one member, but many.If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; isb}} it therefore not of the body?And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not b~}of the body?If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?But nb}ow hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.And if they were all one member, where werb}e the body?But now are they many members, yet but one body.And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nob}r again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, b}are necessary:And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honourb}; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body togb}ether, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:That there should be no schism in the body; but that the b}members should have the same care one for another.And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one membb}er be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.And God hath set sb}ome in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helpsb}, governments, diversities of tongues.Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?Havb}e all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I ub}nto you a more excellent way. all speak with tongues? do all interpret?But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I u`00013Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinklinf}g cymbal.And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faitf}h, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, af}nd though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.Charity suffereth long, and is kind; chf}arity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is nof}t easily provoked, thinketh no evil;Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;Beareth all things, believeth allf} things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whef}ther there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.For we know in part, and we prophef}sy in part.But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.When I was a child, I spakf}e as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.For now we f}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.And nof}w abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. ll I know even as also I am known.And nodT00040Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.For he that speaketh in an unknown tj}ongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.But he j}that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifiej}th himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesiej}d: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receiveedj}ifying. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either j}by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe orj} harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?For if the trumpet give aj}n uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be unj}derstood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.There are, it may be, so many kinds of voicej}s in the world, and none of them is without signification.Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto j}him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of j}spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pj}ray that he may interpret.For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.What isj} 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 sj}ing with the understanding also.Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlej}arned say Amen at thy giving thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?For thou verily givest thanks well, but thj}e other is not edified.I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:Yet in the church I had rather speak five wordj}s with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.Brethren, j}be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.In the law it is written, Wij}th 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 Lj}ord.Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not foj}r them that believe not, but for them which believe.If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all sj}peak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?But if all j}prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:And thus aj}re the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in youj} of a truth.How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, j}hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let ij}t be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.But if there be no interpreter, let him keepj} silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judgj}e.If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.For ye may all prophesy one by one, thaj}t all may learn, and all may be comforted.And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.For God is not the auj}thor of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is notj} permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.And if they will learn anj}y thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.What? came the word of God j}out from you? or came it unto you only?If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the j}things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.Wherefore, brj}ethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.Let all things be done decently and in order. Wherefore, brhp
