\w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w are|strong="G1510"\w* \w still|strong="G2089"\w* \w fleshly|strong="G4559"\w*. \w For|strong="G1063"\w* insofar \w as|strong="G1722"\w* \w there|strong="G1510"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w jealousy|strong="G2205"\w*, \w strife|strong="G2054"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* factions amongst \w you|strong="G5210"\w*, \w aren’t|strong="G3780"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w fleshly|strong="G4559"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* don’t \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w walk|strong="G4043"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G2532"\w* ways \w of|strong="G1722"\w* \w men|strong="G0444"\w*? 

For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w when|strong="G3752"\w* \w one|strong="G5100"\w* \w says|strong="G3004"\w*, “\w I|strong="G1473"\w* follow \w Paul|strong="G3972"\w*,” \w and|strong="G1161"\w* \w another|strong="G2087"\w*, “\w I|strong="G1473"\w* follow \w Apollos|strong="G0625"\w*,” \w aren’t|strong="G3756"\w* \w you|strong="G3752"\w* fleshly? 

Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?

\w Who|strong="G3739"\w* \w then|strong="G2532"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w Apollos|strong="G0625"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w who|strong="G3739"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w Paul|strong="G3972"\w*, \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w servants|strong="G1249"\w* \w through|strong="G1223"\w* \w whom|strong="G3739"\w* \w you|strong="G3739"\w* \w believed|strong="G4100"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w each|strong="G1538"\w* \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w* \w gave|strong="G1325"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w him|strong="G1325"\w*? 

\w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w planted|strong="G5452"\w*. \w Apollos|strong="G0625"\w* \w watered|strong="G4222"\w*. \w But|strong="G0235"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w gave|strong="G4222"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w increase|strong="G0837"\w*. 

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

\w So|strong="G5620"\w* \w then|strong="G5620"\w* \w neither|strong="G3777"\w* \w he|strong="G1510"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w plants|strong="G5452"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w anything|strong="G5100"\w*, \w nor|strong="G3777"\w* \w he|strong="G1510"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w waters|strong="G4222"\w*, \w but|strong="G0235"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w gives|strong="G4222"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w increase|strong="G0837"\w*. 

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labour.

\w Now|strong="G1161"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w plants|strong="G5452"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w waters|strong="G4222"\w* \w are|strong="G1510"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w same|strong="G2532"\w*, \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w each|strong="G1538"\w* \w will|strong="G1510"\w* \w receive|strong="G2983"\w* \w his|strong="G2983"\w* \w own|strong="G2398"\w* \w reward|strong="G3408"\w* \w according|strong="G2596"\w* \w to|strong="G2596"\w* \w his|strong="G2983"\w* \w own|strong="G2398"\w* labour. 

For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w we|strong="G1510"\w* \w are|strong="G1510"\w* \w God’s|strong="G2316"\w* \w fellow|strong="G4904"\w* \w workers|strong="G4904"\w*. \w You|strong="G1510"\w* \w are|strong="G1510"\w* \w God’s|strong="G2316"\w* farming, \w God’s|strong="G2316"\w* \w building|strong="G3619"\w*. 

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

\w According|strong="G2596"\w* \w to|strong="G2596"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w grace|strong="G5485"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w which|strong="G3588"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w given|strong="G1325"\w* \w to|strong="G2596"\w* \w me|strong="G1325"\w*, \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w a|strong="G5613"\w* \w wise|strong="G4680"\w* \w master|strong="G0753"\w* \w builder|strong="G0753"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w laid|strong="G5087"\w* \w a|strong="G5613"\w* \w foundation|strong="G2310"\w*, \w and|strong="G1161"\w* \w another|strong="G0243"\w* \w builds|strong="G2026"\w* \w on|strong="G2596"\w* \w it|strong="G5087"\w*. \w But|strong="G1161"\w* let \w each|strong="G1538"\w* \w man|strong="G1538"\w* \w be|strong="G2316"\w* \w careful|strong="G0991"\w* \w how|strong="G4459"\w* \w he|strong="G1161"\w* \w builds|strong="G2026"\w* \w on|strong="G2596"\w* \w it|strong="G5087"\w*. 

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w no|strong="G3762"\w* \w one|strong="G3762"\w* \w can|strong="G1410"\w* \w lay|strong="G5087"\w* \w any|strong="G3762"\w* \w other|strong="G0243"\w* \w foundation|strong="G2310"\w* \w than|strong="G3844"\w* \w that|strong="G3739"\w* \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w has|strong="G3739"\w* \w been|strong="G1510"\w* \w laid|strong="G5087"\w*, \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w Jesus|strong="G2424"\w* \w Christ|strong="G5547"\w*. 

But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w if|strong="G1487"\w* \w anyone|strong="G5100"\w* \w builds|strong="G2026"\w* \w on|strong="G1909"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w foundation|strong="G2310"\w* \w with|strong="G1909"\w* \w gold|strong="G5553"\w*, \w silver|strong="G0694"\w*, \w costly|strong="G5093"\w* \w stones|strong="G3037"\w*, \w wood|strong="G3586"\w*, \w hay|strong="G5528"\w*, \w or|strong="G1161"\w* \w straw|strong="G2562"\w*, 

each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

\w each|strong="G1538"\w* \w man’s|strong="G1538"\w* \w work|strong="G2041"\w* \w will|strong="G1510"\w* \w be|strong="G1510"\w* \w revealed|strong="G0601"\w*. \w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Day|strong="G2250"\w* \w will|strong="G1510"\w* declare \w it|strong="G0846"\w*, \w because|strong="G3754"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w revealed|strong="G0601"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w fire|strong="G4442"\w*; \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w fire|strong="G4442"\w* \w itself|strong="G0846"\w* \w will|strong="G1510"\w* \w test|strong="G1381"\w* \w what|strong="G3588"\w* sort \w of|strong="G2250"\w* \w work|strong="G2041"\w* \w each|strong="G1538"\w* \w man’s|strong="G1538"\w* \w work|strong="G2041"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w*. 

If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

\w If|strong="G1487"\w* \w any|strong="G5100"\w* \w man’s|strong="G5100"\w* \w work|strong="G2041"\w* \w remains|strong="G3306"\w* \w which|strong="G3739"\w* \w he|strong="G3739"\w* \w built|strong="G2026"\w* \w on|strong="G2026"\w* \w it|strong="G3739"\w*, \w he|strong="G3739"\w* \w will|strong="G3739"\w* \w receive|strong="G2983"\w* \w a|strong="G2983"\w* \w reward|strong="G3408"\w*. 

If any man’s work is burnt, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

\w If|strong="G1487"\w* \w any|strong="G5100"\w* \w man’s|strong="G5100"\w* \w work|strong="G2041"\w* \w is|strong="G5100"\w* burnt, \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w will|strong="G5100"\w* \w suffer|strong="G2210"\w* \w loss|strong="G2210"\w*, \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w himself|strong="G0846"\w* \w will|strong="G5100"\w* \w be|strong="G5100"\w* \w saved|strong="G4982"\w*, \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w through|strong="G1223"\w* \w fire|strong="G4442"\w*. 

Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

\w Don’t|strong="G3756"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w know|strong="G1492"\w* \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w are|strong="G1510"\w* \w God’s|strong="G2316"\w* \w temple|strong="G3485"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w God’s|strong="G2316"\w* \w Spirit|strong="G4151"\w* \w lives|strong="G3611"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w*? 

If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.

\w If|strong="G1487"\w* \w anyone|strong="G5100"\w* \w destroys|strong="G5351"\w* \w God’s|strong="G2316"\w* \w temple|strong="G3485"\w*, \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w will|strong="G2316"\w* \w destroy|strong="G5351"\w* him; \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w God’s|strong="G2316"\w* \w temple|strong="G3485"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w holy|strong="G0040"\w*, \w which|strong="G3748"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w are|strong="G1510"\w*. 

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise amongst you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

\w Let|strong="G1096"\w* \w no|strong="G3367"\w* \w one|strong="G5100"\w* \w deceive|strong="G1818"\w* \w himself|strong="G1438"\w*. \w If|strong="G1487"\w* \w anyone|strong="G5100"\w* \w thinks|strong="G1380"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w he|strong="G3778"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w wise|strong="G4680"\w* amongst \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w world|strong="G0165"\w*, \w let|strong="G1096"\w* \w him|strong="G1722"\w* \w become|strong="G1096"\w* \w a|strong="G1096"\w* \w fool|strong="G3474"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w he|strong="G3778"\w* \w may|strong="G2443"\w* \w become|strong="G1096"\w* \w wise|strong="G4680"\w*. 

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w wisdom|strong="G4678"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w world|strong="G2889"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w foolishness|strong="G3472"\w* \w with|strong="G1722"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w*. \w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w written|strong="G1125"\w*, “\w He|strong="G0846"\w* \w has|strong="G2316"\w* taken \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w wise|strong="G4680"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w their|strong="G0846"\w* \w craftiness|strong="G3834"\w*.”\x + \xo 3:19  \xt Job 5:13\x* 

And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”

\w And|strong="G2532"\w* \w again|strong="G3825"\w*, “\w The|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w* \w knows|strong="G1097"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* reasoning \w of|strong="G2962"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w wise|strong="G4680"\w*, \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w it|strong="G1510"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w worthless|strong="G3152"\w*.”\x + \xo 3:20  \xt Psalm 94:11\x* 

\w Therefore|strong="G5620"\w* \w let|strong="G1510"\w* \w no|strong="G3367"\w* \w one|strong="G3367"\w* \w boast|strong="G2744"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w men|strong="G0444"\w*. \w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w all|strong="G3956"\w* \w things|strong="G3956"\w* \w are|strong="G1510"\w* \w yours|strong="G4771"\w*,

So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.

\w So|strong="G2532"\w* \w let|strong="G3049"\w* \w a|strong="G5613"\w* \w man|strong="G0444"\w* \w think|strong="G3049"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* us \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w Christ’s|strong="G5547"\w* \w servants|strong="G5257"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w stewards|strong="G3623"\w* \w of|strong="G2316"\w* \w God’s|strong="G2316"\w* \w mysteries|strong="G3466"\w*. 

Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

\w Here|strong="G5602"\w*, moreover, \w it|strong="G2147"\w* \w is|strong="G5100"\w* required \w of|strong="G5100"\w* \w stewards|strong="G3623"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w they|strong="G2147"\w* \w be|strong="G5100"\w* \w found|strong="G2147"\w* \w faithful|strong="G4103"\w*. 

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w with|strong="G1519"\w* \w me|strong="G1473"\w* \w it|strong="G1161"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w a|strong="G1510"\w* \w very|strong="G1646"\w* \w small|strong="G1646"\w* \w thing|strong="G1646"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w should|strong="G2443"\w* \w be|strong="G1510"\w* judged \w by|strong="G5259"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w*, \w or|strong="G2228"\w* \w by|strong="G5259"\w* \w a|strong="G1510"\w* \w human|strong="G0442"\w* \w court|strong="G2250"\w*. \w Yes|strong="G0235"\w*, \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w don’t|strong="G3761"\w* \w even|strong="G3761"\w* \w judge|strong="G0350"\w* \w my|strong="G5259"\w* \w own|strong="G1683"\w* self. 

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* know \w nothing|strong="G3762"\w* \w against|strong="G1722"\w* \w myself|strong="G1683"\w*. \w Yet|strong="G1161"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w am|strong="G1510"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w justified|strong="G1344"\w* \w by|strong="G1722"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w*, \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w he|strong="G3778"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* judges \w me|strong="G1473"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w*. 

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.

But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.

There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.

\w This|strong="G3778"\w* \w I|strong="G2532"\w* \w say|strong="G3004"\w* \w for|strong="G4314"\w* \w your|strong="G2962"\w* \w own|strong="G0846"\w* \w benefit|strong="G4851"\w*, \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w I|strong="G2532"\w* \w may|strong="G2532"\w* ensnare \w you|strong="G5210"\w*, \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w for|strong="G4314"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w which|strong="G3588"\w* \w is|strong="G3778"\w* \w appropriate|strong="G2158"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w may|strong="G2532"\w* attend \w to|strong="G4314"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w* \w without|strong="G3756"\w* distraction. 

But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately towards his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w if|strong="G1487"\w* \w any|strong="G5100"\w* \w man|strong="G5100"\w* \w thinks|strong="G3543"\w* \w that|strong="G3739"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* behaving inappropriately towards \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w virgin|strong="G3933"\w*, \w if|strong="G1487"\w* \w she|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w past|strong="G5230"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* flower \w of|strong="G1909"\w* \w her|strong="G0846"\w* age, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w if|strong="G1487"\w* need \w so|strong="G2532"\w* requires, \w let|strong="G1096"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w* \w do|strong="G4160"\w* \w what|strong="G3739"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w desires|strong="G2309"\w*. \w He|strong="G2532"\w* \w doesn’t|strong="G3756"\w* \w sin|strong="G0264"\w*. \w Let|strong="G1096"\w* \w them|strong="G0846"\w* \w marry|strong="G1060"\w*. 

But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w who|strong="G3739"\w* \w stands|strong="G2476"\w* \w steadfast|strong="G1476"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w heart|strong="G2588"\w*, \w having|strong="G2192"\w* \w no|strong="G3361"\w* urgency, \w but|strong="G1161"\w* \w has|strong="G2192"\w* \w power|strong="G1849"\w* \w over|strong="G5083"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w own|strong="G2398"\w* \w will|strong="G2307"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w has|strong="G2192"\w* \w determined|strong="G2919"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w own|strong="G2398"\w* \w heart|strong="G2588"\w* \w to|strong="G2532"\w* \w keep|strong="G5083"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w own|strong="G2398"\w* \w virgin|strong="G3933"\w*, \w does|strong="G4160"\w* \w well|strong="G2573"\w*.

A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.

Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.

However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w food|strong="G1033"\w* \w will|strong="G2316"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w commend|strong="G3936"\w* us \w to|strong="G2316"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w*. \w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w neither|strong="G3777"\w*, \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w we|strong="G2249"\w* \w don’t|strong="G3756"\w* \w eat|strong="G2068"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w we|strong="G2249"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w worse|strong="G5302"\w*, \w nor|strong="G3777"\w* \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w we|strong="G2249"\w* \w eat|strong="G2068"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w we|strong="G2249"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w better|strong="G4052"\w*. 

But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w be|strong="G1096"\w* \w careful|strong="G0991"\w* \w that|strong="G3778"\w* \w by|strong="G1096"\w* \w no|strong="G3361"\w* means \w does|strong="G1096"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w liberty|strong="G1849"\w* \w of|strong="G1849"\w* \w yours|strong="G4771"\w* \w become|strong="G1096"\w* \w a|strong="G1096"\w* \w stumbling|strong="G4348"\w* \w block|strong="G4348"\w* \w to|strong="G1849"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w weak|strong="G0772"\w*. 

For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w a|strong="G2192"\w* \w man|strong="G5100"\w* \w sees|strong="G3708"\w* \w you|strong="G4771"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w have|strong="G2192"\w* \w knowledge|strong="G1108"\w* \w sitting|strong="G2621"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w an|strong="G2192"\w* \w idol’s|strong="G1493"\w* \w temple|strong="G0846"\w*, \w won’t|strong="G3780"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w conscience|strong="G4893"\w*, \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w weak|strong="G0772"\w*, \w be|strong="G1510"\w* emboldened \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w eat|strong="G2068"\w* \w things|strong="G0846"\w* \w sacrificed|strong="G1494"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w idols|strong="G1494"\w*? 

And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

\w And|strong="G0080"\w* \w through|strong="G1223"\w* \w your|strong="G4674"\w* \w knowledge|strong="G1108"\w*, \w he|strong="G3739"\w* \w who|strong="G3739"\w* \w is|strong="G3739"\w* \w weak|strong="G0770"\w* \w perishes|strong="G0622"\w*, \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w brother|strong="G0080"\w* \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w whose|strong="G3739"\w* \w sake|strong="G1223"\w* \w Christ|strong="G5547"\w* \w died|strong="G0599"\w*. 

Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

\w Thus|strong="G3779"\w*, \w sinning|strong="G0264"\w* \w against|strong="G1519"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w brothers|strong="G0080"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w wounding|strong="G5180"\w* \w their|strong="G0846"\w* \w conscience|strong="G4893"\w* \w when|strong="G2532"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G3588"\w* \w weak|strong="G0770"\w*, \w you|strong="G3779"\w* \w sin|strong="G0264"\w* \w against|strong="G1519"\w* \w Christ|strong="G5547"\w*. 

Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonours his head.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonours her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w every|strong="G3956"\w* \w woman|strong="G1135"\w* \w praying|strong="G4336"\w* \w or|strong="G2228"\w* \w prophesying|strong="G4395"\w* \w with|strong="G2532"\w* \w her|strong="G0846"\w* \w head|strong="G2776"\w* \w uncovered|strong="G0177"\w* dishonours \w her|strong="G0846"\w* \w head|strong="G2776"\w*. \w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w one|strong="G1520"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w the|strong="G3956"\w* \w same|strong="G0846"\w* \w thing|strong="G1520"\w* \w as|strong="G2532"\w* \w if|strong="G2532"\w* \w she|strong="G0846"\w* \w were|strong="G1510"\w* \w shaved|strong="G3587"\w*. 

For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonour to him?

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w a|strong="G1510"\w* \w woman|strong="G1135"\w* \w has|strong="G3748"\w* \w long|strong="G2863"\w* \w hair|strong="G2863"\w*, \w it|strong="G0846"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w a|strong="G1510"\w* \w glory|strong="G1391"\w* \w to|strong="G1325"\w* \w her|strong="G0846"\w*, \w for|strong="G3754"\w* \w her|strong="G0846"\w* \w hair|strong="G2863"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w given|strong="G1325"\w* \w to|strong="G1325"\w* \w her|strong="G0846"\w* \w for|strong="G3754"\w* \w a|strong="G1510"\w* \w covering|strong="G4018"\w*.

For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist amongst you, and I partly believe it.

When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.

What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w as|strong="G2532"\w* \w often|strong="G3740"\w* \w as|strong="G2532"\w* \w you|strong="G3739"\w* \w eat|strong="G2068"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w bread|strong="G0740"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w drink|strong="G4095"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w cup|strong="G4221"\w*, \w you|strong="G3739"\w* \w proclaim|strong="G2605"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord’s|strong="G2962"\w* \w death|strong="G2288"\w* \w until|strong="G0891"\w* \w he|strong="G2532"\w* \w comes|strong="G2064"\w*. 

Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgement to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.

For this cause many amongst you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w when|strong="G1161"\w* \w we|strong="G1161"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w judged|strong="G2919"\w*, \w we|strong="G1161"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w disciplined|strong="G3811"\w* \w by|strong="G5259"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w*, \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w we|strong="G1161"\w* \w may|strong="G2443"\w* \w not|strong="G3361"\w* \w be|strong="G2962"\w* \w condemned|strong="G2632"\w* \w with|strong="G4862"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w world|strong="G2889"\w*. 

Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

\w Therefore|strong="G5620"\w*, my \w brothers|strong="G0080"\w*, \w when|strong="G4905"\w* \w you|strong="G5620"\w* \w come|strong="G4905"\w* \w together|strong="G4905"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w eat|strong="G2068"\w*, \w wait|strong="G1551"\w* \w for|strong="G1519"\w* \w one|strong="G0240"\w* \w another|strong="G0240"\w*. 

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgement. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

\w Now|strong="G1161"\w* \w concerning|strong="G4012"\w* \w spiritual|strong="G4152"\w* \w things|strong="G4152"\w*, \w brothers|strong="G0080"\w*, \w I|strong="G1161"\w* \w don’t|strong="G3756"\w* \w want|strong="G2309"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w to|strong="G2309"\w* \w be|strong="G3756"\w* \w ignorant|strong="G0050"\w*. 

You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

\w You|strong="G3754"\w* \w know|strong="G1492"\w* \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w when|strong="G3753"\w* \w you|strong="G3754"\w* \w were|strong="G1510"\w* heathen,\f + \fr 12:2  \ft or Gentiles\f* \w you|strong="G3754"\w* \w were|strong="G1510"\w* \w led|strong="G0071"\w* \w away|strong="G0520"\w* \w to|strong="G4314"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w mute|strong="G0880"\w* \w idols|strong="G1497"\w*, \w however|strong="G5613"\w* \w you|strong="G3754"\w* \w might|strong="G1484"\w* \w be|strong="G1510"\w* \w led|strong="G0071"\w*. 

Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.

For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w now|strong="G1161"\w* \w Christ|strong="G5547"\w* \w has|strong="G5547"\w* \w been|strong="G5547"\w* \w raised|strong="G1453"\w* \w from|strong="G1537"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w dead|strong="G3498"\w*. \w He|strong="G1161"\w* became \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w first|strong="G0536"\w* fruit \w of|strong="G1537"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w asleep|strong="G2837"\w*. 

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

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w since|strong="G1894"\w* \w death|strong="G2288"\w* \w came|strong="G1223"\w* \w by|strong="G1223"\w* \w man|strong="G0444"\w*, \w the|strong="G1223"\w* \w resurrection|strong="G0386"\w* \w of|strong="G1223"\w* \w the|strong="G1223"\w* \w dead|strong="G3498"\w* \w also|strong="G2532"\w* \w came|strong="G1223"\w* \w by|strong="G1223"\w* \w man|strong="G0444"\w*. 

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w each|strong="G1538"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w own|strong="G2398"\w* \w order|strong="G5001"\w*: \w Christ|strong="G5547"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w first|strong="G0536"\w* \w fruits|strong="G0536"\w*, \w then|strong="G1161"\w* \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w Christ’s|strong="G5547"\w* \w at|strong="G1722"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w coming|strong="G3952"\w*.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

\w Therefore|strong="G5620"\w*, \w my|strong="G1722"\w* \w beloved|strong="G0027"\w* \w brothers|strong="G0080"\w*, \w be|strong="G1510"\w* \w steadfast|strong="G1476"\w*, \w immovable|strong="G0277"\w*, \w always|strong="G3842"\w* \w abounding|strong="G4052"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord’s|strong="G2962"\w* \w work|strong="G2041"\w*, \w because|strong="G3754"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w know|strong="G1492"\w* \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w your|strong="G2962"\w* labour \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w vain|strong="G2756"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w*.

On the first day of every week, let each one of you save as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.

I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

\w I|strong="G1161"\w* \w will|strong="G2064"\w* \w come|strong="G2064"\w* \w to|strong="G4314"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w when|strong="G3752"\w* \w I|strong="G1161"\w* have \w passed|strong="G1330"\w* \w through|strong="G1330"\w* \w Macedonia|strong="G3109"\w*, \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w I|strong="G1161"\w* am \w passing|strong="G1330"\w* \w through|strong="G1330"\w* \w Macedonia|strong="G3109"\w*. 

But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

\w But|strong="G1161"\w* \w with|strong="G4314"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w it|strong="G1437"\w* \w may|strong="G2532"\w* \w be|strong="G2532"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w will|strong="G2532"\w* stay \w with|strong="G4314"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w*, \w or|strong="G2228"\w* \w even|strong="G2532"\w* \w winter|strong="G3914"\w* \w with|strong="G4314"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w*, \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w may|strong="G2532"\w* \w send|strong="G4311"\w* \w me|strong="G1473"\w* \w on|strong="G4311"\w* \w my|strong="G2532"\w* \w journey|strong="G4311"\w* \w wherever|strong="G3757"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w go|strong="G4198"\w*. 

For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w I|strong="G1437"\w* \w do|strong="G3708"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w wish|strong="G2309"\w* \w to|strong="G4314"\w* \w see|strong="G3708"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w now|strong="G0737"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w passing|strong="G3938"\w*, \w but|strong="G1063"\w* \w I|strong="G1437"\w* \w hope|strong="G1679"\w* \w to|strong="G4314"\w* \w stay|strong="G1961"\w* \w a|strong="G3708"\w* \w while|strong="G1722"\w* \w with|strong="G1722"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w*, \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w* \w permits|strong="G2010"\w*.

for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

\w Now|strong="G1161"\w* \w if|strong="G1437"\w* \w Timothy|strong="G5095"\w* \w comes|strong="G2064"\w*, \w see|strong="G0991"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w he|strong="G1437"\w* \w is|strong="G2962"\w* \w with|strong="G4314"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w without|strong="G0870"\w* \w fear|strong="G0870"\w*, \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w he|strong="G1437"\w* \w does|strong="G2038"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w work|strong="G2041"\w* \w of|strong="G2041"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w Lord|strong="G2962"\w*, \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w I|strong="G1437"\w* \w also|strong="G1161"\w* \w do|strong="G1096"\w*. 

Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

\w Therefore|strong="G3767"\w* \w let|strong="G2443"\w* \w no|strong="G3361"\w* \w one|strong="G5100"\w* \w despise|strong="G1848"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w*. \w But|strong="G1161"\w* set \w him|strong="G0846"\w* forward \w on|strong="G1722"\w* \w his|strong="G0846"\w* \w journey|strong="G4311"\w* \w in|strong="G1722"\w* \w peace|strong="G1515"\w*, \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w he|strong="G0846"\w* \w may|strong="G2443"\w* \w come|strong="G2064"\w* \w to|strong="G4314"\w* \w me|strong="G1473"\w*; \w for|strong="G1063"\w* \w I|strong="G1473"\w* \w expect|strong="G1551"\w* \w him|strong="G0846"\w* \w with|strong="G3326"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w brothers|strong="G0080"\w*. 

Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

Now I beg you, brothers—you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints—

\w Now|strong="G1161"\w* \w I|strong="G2532"\w* \w beg|strong="G3870"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w*, \w brothers|strong="G0080"\w*—\w you|strong="G5210"\w* \w know|strong="G1492"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w house|strong="G3614"\w* \w of|strong="G0080"\w* \w Stephanas|strong="G4734"\w*, \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w it|strong="G1161"\w* \w is|strong="G1510"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w first|strong="G0536"\w* \w fruits|strong="G0536"\w* \w of|strong="G0080"\w* \w Achaia|strong="G0882"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w they|strong="G2532"\w* \w have|strong="G1510"\w* \w set|strong="G5021"\w* \w themselves|strong="G1438"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w serve|strong="G1248"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w saints|strong="G0040"\w*—
