I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:

If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

Neither was the man created 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.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus and Timotheus.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
