1Cor 5:9 I wrote unto you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators; 1Cor 5:10 not at all meaning with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world: 1Cor 5:11 but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. 1Cor 5:12 For what have I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within? 1Cor 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves. 1Cor 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 1Cor 6:2 Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 1Cor 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life? 1Cor 6:4 If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church? 1Cor 6:5 I say this to move you to shame. What, cannot there be found among you one wise man who shall be able to decide between his brethren, 1Cor 6:6 but brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers? 1Cor 6:7 Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded? 1Cor 6:8 Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 1Cor 6:9 Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, 1Cor 6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1Cor 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God. 1Cor 6:12 All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1Cor 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body: 1Cor 6:14 and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up us through his power.
1Cor 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid. 1Cor 6:16 Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh. 1Cor 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1Cor 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1Cor 6:19 Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; 1Cor 6:20 for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body. 1Cor 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 1Cor 7:2 But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 1Cor 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 1Cor 7:4 The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.
1Cor 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency. 1Cor 7:6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment. 1Cor 7:7 Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that. 1Cor 7:8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 1Cor 7:9 But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 1Cor 7:10 But unto the married I give charge, yea not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband 1Cor 7:11 (but should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife. 1Cor 7:12 But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her. 1Cor 7:13 And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.
1Cor 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 1Cor 7:15 Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us in peace. 1Cor 7:16 For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 1Cor 7:17 Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches. 1Cor 7:18 Was any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. 1Cor 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God. 1Cor 7:20 Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called. 1Cor 7:21 Wast thou called being a bondservant? care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use it rather. 1Cor 7:22 For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord’s freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christ’s bondservant.
1Cor 7:23 Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men. 1Cor 7:24 Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God. 1Cor 7:25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy. 1Cor 7:26 I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, namely, that it is good for a man to be as he is. 1Cor 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 1Cor 7:28 But shouldest thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you. 1Cor 7:29 But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none; 1Cor 7:30 and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not; 1Cor 7:31 and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
1Cor 7:32 But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 1Cor 7:33 but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife, 1Cor 7:34 and is divided. So also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 1Cor 7:35 And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. 1Cor 7:36 But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin daughter, if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry. 1Cor 7:37 But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching his own will, and hath determined this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, shall do well.
1Cor 7:38 So then both he that giveth his own virgin daughter in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better. 1Cor 7:39 A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 1Cor 7:40 But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God. 1Cor 8:1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth. 1Cor 8:2 If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know; 1Cor 8:3 but if any man loveth God, the same is known by him. 1Cor 8:4 Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God but one. 1Cor 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many; 1Cor 8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.
1Cor 8:7 Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 1Cor 8:8 But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better. 1Cor 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak. 1Cor 8:10 For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols? 1Cor 8:11 For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died. 1Cor 8:12 And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ. 1Cor 8:13 Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble. 1Cor 9:1 Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? 1Cor 9:2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
1Cor 9:3 My defence to them that examine me is this. 1Cor 9:4 Have we no right to eat and to drink? 1Cor 9:5 Have we no right to lead about a wife that is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 1Cor 9:6 Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working? 1Cor 9:7 What soldier ever serveth at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? 1Cor 9:8 Do I speak these things after the manner of men? or saith not the law also the same? 1Cor 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. Is it for the oxen that God careth, 1Cor 9:10 or saith he it assuredly for our sake? Yea, for our sake it was written: because he that ploweth ought to plow in hope, and he that thresheth, to thresh in hope of partaking. 1Cor 9:11 If we sowed unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your carnal things? 1Cor 9:12 If others partake of this right over you, do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right; but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
1Cor 9:13 Know ye not that they that minister about sacred things eat of the things of the temple, and they that wait upon the altar have their portion with the altar? 1Cor 9:14 Even so did the Lord ordain that they that proclaim the gospel should live of the gospel. 1Cor 9:15 But I have used none of these things: and I write not these things that it may be so done in my case; for it were good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 1Cor 9:16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel. 1Cor 9:17 For if I do this of mine own will, I have a reward: but if not of mine own will, I have a stewardship intrusted to me. 1Cor 9:18 What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel without charge, so as not to use to the full my right in the gospel. 1Cor 9:19 For though I was free from all men, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
1Cor 9:20 And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 1Cor 9:21 to them that are without law, as without law, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law. 1Cor 9:22 To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak: I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some. 1Cor 9:23 And I do all things for the gospel’s sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof. 1Cor 9:24 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. 1Cor 9:25 And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 1Cor 9:26 I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air: 1Cor 9:27 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. 1Cor 10:1 For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 1Cor 10:2 and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 1Cor 10:3 and did all eat the same spiritual food; 1Cor 10:4 and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ. 1Cor 10:5 Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 1Cor 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 1Cor 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 1Cor 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 1Cor 10:9 Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents. 1Cor 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer. 1Cor 10:11 Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. 1Cor 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1Cor 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. 1Cor 10:14 Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 1Cor 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 1Cor 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ? 1Cor 10:17 seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of the one bread. 1Cor 10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with the altar? 1Cor 10:19 What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 1Cor 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. 1Cor 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. 1Cor 10:22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
1Cor 10:23 All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify. 1Cor 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbor’s good. 1Cor 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake; 1Cor 10:26 for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof. 1Cor 10:27 If one of them that believe not biddeth you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake. 1Cor 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that showed it, and for conscience’ sake: 1Cor 10:29 conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience? 1Cor 10:30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 1Cor 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1Cor 10:32 Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God: 1Cor 10:33 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved. 1Cor 11:1 Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
1Cor 11:2 Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you. 1Cor 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 1Cor 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. 1Cor 11:5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. 1Cor 11:6 For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. 1Cor 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 1Cor 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man: 1Cor 11:9 for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man: 1Cor 11:10 for this cause ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels. 1Cor 11:11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.
1Cor 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God. 1Cor 11:13 Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled? 1Cor 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him? 1Cor 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 1Cor 11:16 But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. 1Cor 11:17 But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but for the worse. 1Cor 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it. 1Cor 11:19 For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you. 1Cor 11:20 When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper: 1Cor 11:21 for in your eating each one taketh before other his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
1Cor 11:22 What, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not. 1Cor 11:23 For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread; 1Cor 11:24 and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me. 1Cor 11:25 In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 1Cor 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he come. 1Cor 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 1Cor 11:28 But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. 1Cor 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body. 1Cor 11:30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 1Cor 11:31 But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Cor 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 1Cor 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another. 1Cor 11:34 If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come. 1Cor 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 1Cor 12:2 Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led. 1Cor 12:3 Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit. 1Cor 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 1Cor 12:5 And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. 1Cor 12:6 And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all. 1Cor 12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal. 1Cor 12:8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: 1Cor 12:9 to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; 1Cor 12:10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues: 1Cor 12:11 but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will. 1Cor 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. 1Cor 12:13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. 1Cor 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many. 1Cor 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. 1Cor 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. 1Cor 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 1Cor 12:18 But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. 1Cor 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
1Cor 12:20 But now they are many members, but one body. 1Cor 12:21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 1Cor 12:22 Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: 1Cor 12:23 and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; 1Cor 12:24 whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked; 1Cor 12:25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 1Cor 12:26 And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 1Cor 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. 1Cor 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues. 1Cor 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1Cor 12:30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 1Cor 12:31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you. 1Cor 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 1Cor 13:2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1Cor 13:3 And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. 1Cor 13:4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 1Cor 13:5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; 1Cor 13:6 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; 1Cor 13:7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 1Cor 13:8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away.
1Cor 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 1Cor 13:10 but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. 1Cor 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. 1Cor 13:12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. 1Cor 13:13 But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. 1Cor 14:1 Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 1Cor 14:2 For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1Cor 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and consolation. 1Cor 14:4 He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 1Cor 14:5 Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
1Cor 14:6 But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching? 1Cor 14:7 Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? 1Cor 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war? 1Cor 14:9 So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air. 1Cor 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no kind is without signification. 1Cor 14:11 If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me. 1Cor 14:12 So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church. 1Cor 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 1Cor 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
1Cor 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 1Cor 14:16 Else if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest? 1Cor 14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 1Cor 14:18 I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all: 1Cor 14:19 howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 1Cor 14:20 Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men. 1Cor 14:21 In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord. 1Cor 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe.
1Cor 14:23 If therefore the whole church be assembled together and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad? 1Cor 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all; 1Cor 14:25 the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed. 1Cor 14:26 What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 1Cor 14:27 If any man speaketh in a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most three, and that in turn; and let one interpret: 1Cor 14:28 but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 1Cor 14:29 And let the prophets speak by two or three, and let the others discern. 1Cor 14:30 But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence. 1Cor 14:31 For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted; 1Cor 14:32 and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets; 1Cor 14:33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, 1Cor 14:34 let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law. 1Cor 14:35 And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church. 1Cor 14:36 What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone? 1Cor 14:37 If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord. 1Cor 14:38 But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant. 1Cor 14:39 Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 1Cor 14:40 But let all things be done decently and in order. 1Cor 15:1 Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, 1Cor 15:2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.
1Cor 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1Cor 15:4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures; 1Cor 15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve; 1Cor 15:6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep; 1Cor 15:7 then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles; 1Cor 15:8 and last of all, as to the child untimely born, he appeared to me also. 1Cor 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 1Cor 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 1Cor 15:11 Whether then it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 1Cor 15:12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 1Cor 15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised: 1Cor 15:14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain. 1Cor 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised. 1Cor 15:16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised: 1Cor 15:17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 1Cor 15:18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 1Cor 15:19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable. 1Cor 15:20 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep. 1Cor 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 1Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 1Cor 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming. 1Cor 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power. 1Cor 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
1Cor 15:26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. 1Cor 15:27 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him. 1Cor 15:28 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all. 1Cor 15:29 Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? 1Cor 15:30 why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour? 1Cor 15:31 I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 1Cor 15:32 If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. 1Cor 15:33 Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals. 1Cor 15:34 Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak this to move you to shame. 1Cor 15:35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
