1 Corinthians 1:1; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 1 Corinthians 1:3; 1 Corinthians 1:5; 1 Corinthians 1:8; 1 Corinthians 1:10; 1 Corinthians 1:14; 1 Corinthians 1:16; 1 Corinthians 1:19; 1 Corinthians 1:22; 1 Corinthians 1:24; 1 Corinthians 1:25; 1 Corinthians 1:27; 1 Corinthians 1:28; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Corinthians 2:2; 1 Corinthians 2:3; 1 Corinthians 2:4; 1 Corinthians 2:9; 1 Corinthians 2:10; 1 Corinthians 2:11; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 1 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 3:1; 1 Corinthians 3:2; 1 Corinthians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 3:5; 1 Corinthians 3:8; 1 Corinthians 3:13; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 3:20; 1 Corinthians 4:1; 1 Corinthians 4:5; 1 Corinthians 4:6; 1 Corinthians 4:8; 1 Corinthians 4:9; 1 Corinthians 4:11; 1 Corinthians 4:12; 1 Corinthians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 4:19; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 1 Corinthians 5:2; 1 Corinthians 5:4; 1 Corinthians 5:7; 1 Corinthians 5:8; 1 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Corinthians 5:12; 1 Corinthians 5:13; 1 Corinthians 6:1; 1 Corinthians 6:2; 1 Corinthians 6:6; 1 Corinthians 6:8; 1 Corinthians 6:11; 1 Corinthians 6:13; 1 Corinthians 6:14; 1 Corinthians 6:19; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Corinthians 7:2; 1 Corinthians 7:3; 1 Corinthians 7:4; 1 Corinthians 7:5; 1 Corinthians 7:7; 1 Corinthians 7:8; 1 Corinthians 7:11; 1 Corinthians 7:12; 1 Corinthians 7:13; 1 Corinthians 7:14; 1 Corinthians 7:17; 1 Corinthians 7:19; 1 Corinthians 7:22; 1 Corinthians 7:28; 1 Corinthians 7:29; 1 Corinthians 7:30; 1 Corinthians 7:31; 1 Corinthians 7:34; 1 Corinthians 7:35; 1 Corinthians 7:36; 1 Corinthians 7:37; 1 Corinthians 7:38; 1 Corinthians 8:4; 1 Corinthians 8:5; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 1 Corinthians 8:7; 1 Corinthians 8:11; 1 Corinthians 8:12; 1 Corinthians 9:4; 1 Corinthians 9:5; 1 Corinthians 9:6; 1 Corinthians 9:7; 1 Corinthians 9:10; 1 Corinthians 9:14; 1 Corinthians 9:20; 1 Corinthians 9:27; 1 Corinthians 10:1; 1 Corinthians 10:2; 1 Corinthians 10:3; 1 Corinthians 10:4; 1 Corinthians 10:7; 1 Corinthians 10:8; 1 Corinthians 10:9; 1 Corinthians 10:10; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 1 Corinthians 10:20; 1 Corinthians 10:21; 1 Corinthians 10:26; 1 Corinthians 10:27; 1 Corinthians 10:28; 1 Corinthians 10:32; 1 Corinthians 11:2; 1 Corinthians 11:5; 1 Corinthians 11:6; 1 Corinthians 11:7; 1 Corinthians 11:12; 1 Corinthians 11:18; 1 Corinthians 11:19; 1 Corinthians 11:21; 1 Corinthians 11:22; 1 Corinthians 11:23; 1 Corinthians 11:24; 1 Corinthians 11:25; 1 Corinthians 11:26; 1 Corinthians 11:27; 1 Corinthians 11:28; 1 Corinthians 11:29; 1 Corinthians 11:30; 1 Corinthians 12:3; 1 Corinthians 12:5; 1 Corinthians 12:6; 1 Corinthians 12:11; 1 Corinthians 12:12; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 1 Corinthians 12:16; 1 Corinthians 12:23; 1 Corinthians 12:26; 1 Corinthians 12:27; 1 Corinthians 12:28; 1 Corinthians 12:31; 1 Corinthians 13:1; 1 Corinthians 13:2; 1 Corinthians 13:3; 1 Corinthians 13:9; 1 Corinthians 13:12; 1 Corinthians 14:3; 1 Corinthians 14:8; 1 Corinthians 14:9; 1 Corinthians 14:10; 1 Corinthians 14:11; 1 Corinthians 14:12; 1 Corinthians 14:15; 1 Corinthians 14:19; 1 Corinthians 14:21; 1 Corinthians 14:23; 1 Corinthians 14:25; 1 Corinthians 14:27; 1 Corinthians 14:28; 1 Corinthians 14:29; 1 Corinthians 14:31; 1 Corinthians 14:32; 1 Corinthians 14:34; 1 Corinthians 14:39; 1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Corinthians 15:1; 1 Corinthians 15:2; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 1 Corinthians 15:4; 1 Corinthians 15:5; 1 Corinthians 15:6; 1 Corinthians 15:10; 1 Corinthians 15:11; 1 Corinthians 15:14; 1 Corinthians 15:15; 1 Corinthians 15:18; 1 Corinthians 15:21; 1 Corinthians 15:22; 1 Corinthians 15:24; 1 Corinthians 15:28; 1 Corinthians 15:29; 1 Corinthians 15:30; 1 Corinthians 15:32; 1 Corinthians 15:34; 1 Corinthians 15:37; 1 Corinthians 15:38; 1 Corinthians 15:40; 1 Corinthians 15:41; 1 Corinthians 15:42; 1 Corinthians 15:44; 1 Corinthians 15:45; 1 Corinthians 15:48; 1 Corinthians 15:49; 1 Corinthians 15:50; 1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Corinthians 15:53; 1 Corinthians 15:54; 1 Corinthians 16:1; 1 Corinthians 16:6; 1 Corinthians 16:9; 1 Corinthians 16:10; 1 Corinthians 16:12; 1 Corinthians 16:15; 1 Corinthians 16:16; 1 Corinthians 16:17; 1 Corinthians 16:18; 1 Corinthians 16:19; 1 Corinthians 16:24

1 Corinthians 1:1

1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

1 Corinthians 1:2

2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours:

1 Corinthians 1:3

3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:5

5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge—

1 Corinthians 1:8

8 He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:10

10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

1 Corinthians 1:14

14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

1 Corinthians 1:16

16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.)

1 Corinthians 1:19

19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

1 Corinthians 1:22

22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom,

1 Corinthians 1:24

24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

1 Corinthians 1:25

25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

1 Corinthians 1:27

27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

1 Corinthians 1:28

28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,

1 Corinthians 1:30

30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.

1 Corinthians 2:2

2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

1 Corinthians 2:3

3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.

1 Corinthians 2:4

4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

1 Corinthians 2:9

9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him—

1 Corinthians 2:10

10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

1 Corinthians 2:11

11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

1 Corinthians 2:13

13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.

1 Corinthians 2:14

14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 3:1

1 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:2

2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.

1 Corinthians 3:3

3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?

1 Corinthians 3:5

5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task.

1 Corinthians 3:8

8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.

1 Corinthians 3:13

13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.

1 Corinthians 3:16

16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

1 Corinthians 3:20

20 and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”

1 Corinthians 4:1

1 This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed.

1 Corinthians 4:5

5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.

1 Corinthians 4:6

6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.

1 Corinthians 4:8

8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! You have begun to reign—and that without us! How I wish that you really had begun to reign so that we also might reign with you!

1 Corinthians 4:9

9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings.

1 Corinthians 4:11

11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.

1 Corinthians 4:12

12 We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

1 Corinthians 4:17

17 For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.

1 Corinthians 4:19

19 But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have.

1 Corinthians 5:1

1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife.

1 Corinthians 5:2

2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this?

1 Corinthians 5:4

4 So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,

1 Corinthians 5:7

7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

1 Corinthians 5:8

8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

1 Corinthians 5:10

10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

1 Corinthians 5:12

12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

1 Corinthians 5:13

13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”

1 Corinthians 6:1

1 If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people?

1 Corinthians 6:2

2 Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

1 Corinthians 6:6

6 But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!

1 Corinthians 6:8

8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.

1 Corinthians 6:11

11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Corinthians 6:13

13 You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

1 Corinthians 6:14

14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.

1 Corinthians 6:19

19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

1 Corinthians 6:20

20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

1 Corinthians 7:2

2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.

1 Corinthians 7:3

3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.

1 Corinthians 7:4

4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.

1 Corinthians 7:5

5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

1 Corinthians 7:7

7 I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

1 Corinthians 7:8

8 Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.

1 Corinthians 7:11

11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

1 Corinthians 7:12

12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.

1 Corinthians 7:13

13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.

1 Corinthians 7:14

14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

1 Corinthians 7:17

17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.

1 Corinthians 7:19

19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts.

1 Corinthians 7:22

22 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave.

1 Corinthians 7:28

28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

1 Corinthians 7:29

29 What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not;

1 Corinthians 7:30

30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep;

1 Corinthians 7:31

31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.

1 Corinthians 7:34

34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband.

1 Corinthians 7:35

35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

1 Corinthians 7:36

36 If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are too strong and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married.

1 Corinthians 7:37

37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing.

1 Corinthians 7:38

38 So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does better.

1 Corinthians 8:4

4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.”

1 Corinthians 8:5

5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”),

1 Corinthians 8:6

6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

1 Corinthians 8:7

7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

1 Corinthians 8:11

11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.

1 Corinthians 8:12

12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:4

4 Don’t we have the right to food and drink?

1 Corinthians 9:5

5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas ?

1 Corinthians 9:6

6 Or is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living?

1 Corinthians 9:7

7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk?

1 Corinthians 9:10

10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.

1 Corinthians 9:14

14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:20

20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.

1 Corinthians 9:27

27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

1 Corinthians 10:1

1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.

1 Corinthians 10:2

2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

1 Corinthians 10:3

3 They all ate the same spiritual food

1 Corinthians 10:4

4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:7

7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”

1 Corinthians 10:8

8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.

1 Corinthians 10:9

9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.

1 Corinthians 10:10

10 And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.

1 Corinthians 10:13

13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:20

20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.

1 Corinthians 10:21

21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.

1 Corinthians 10:26

26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”

1 Corinthians 10:27

27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience.

1 Corinthians 10:28

28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.

1 Corinthians 10:32

32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—

1 Corinthians 11:2

2 I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.

1 Corinthians 11:5

5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.

1 Corinthians 11:6

6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

1 Corinthians 11:7

7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

1 Corinthians 11:12

12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

1 Corinthians 11:18

18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.

1 Corinthians 11:19

19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.

1 Corinthians 11:21

21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.

1 Corinthians 11:22

22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!

1 Corinthians 11:23

23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,

1 Corinthians 11:24

24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

1 Corinthians 11:25

25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

1 Corinthians 11:26

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

1 Corinthians 11:27

27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 11:28

28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.

1 Corinthians 11:29

29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.

1 Corinthians 11:30

30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

1 Corinthians 12:3

3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:5

5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.

1 Corinthians 12:6

6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

1 Corinthians 12:11

11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

1 Corinthians 12:12

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:13

13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

1 Corinthians 12:16

16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.

1 Corinthians 12:23

23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,

1 Corinthians 12:26

26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

1 Corinthians 12:27

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

1 Corinthians 12:28

28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.

1 Corinthians 12:31

31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.

1 Corinthians 13:1

1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

1 Corinthians 13:2

2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

1 Corinthians 13:3

3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

1 Corinthians 13:9

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

1 Corinthians 13:12

12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

1 Corinthians 14:3

3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.

1 Corinthians 14:8

8 Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?

1 Corinthians 14:9

9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.

1 Corinthians 14:10

10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.

1 Corinthians 14:11

11 If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me.

1 Corinthians 14:12

12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.

1 Corinthians 14:15

15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding.

1 Corinthians 14:19

19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.

1 Corinthians 14:21

21 In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 14:23

23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?

1 Corinthians 14:25

25 as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”

1 Corinthians 14:27

27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret.

1 Corinthians 14:28

28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.

1 Corinthians 14:29

29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

1 Corinthians 14:31

31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.

1 Corinthians 14:32

32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.

1 Corinthians 14:34

34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.

1 Corinthians 14:39

39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

1 Corinthians 14:40

40 But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.

1 Corinthians 15:1

1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.

1 Corinthians 15:2

2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:3

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

1 Corinthians 15:4

4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

1 Corinthians 15:5

5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.

1 Corinthians 15:6

6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

1 Corinthians 15:10

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

1 Corinthians 15:11

11 Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

1 Corinthians 15:14

14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.

1 Corinthians 15:15

15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised.

1 Corinthians 15:18

18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.

1 Corinthians 15:21

21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

1 Corinthians 15:22

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

1 Corinthians 15:24

24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.

1 Corinthians 15:28

28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

1 Corinthians 15:29

29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?

1 Corinthians 15:30

30 And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour?

1 Corinthians 15:32

32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

1 Corinthians 15:34

34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.

1 Corinthians 15:37

37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

1 Corinthians 15:38

38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.

1 Corinthians 15:40

40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.

1 Corinthians 15:41

41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

1 Corinthians 15:42

42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;

1 Corinthians 15:44

44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

1 Corinthians 15:45

45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being” ; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

1 Corinthians 15:48

48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.

1 Corinthians 15:49

49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.

1 Corinthians 15:50

50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

1 Corinthians 15:52

52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

1 Corinthians 15:53

53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

1 Corinthians 15:54

54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

1 Corinthians 16:1

1 Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do.

1 Corinthians 16:6

6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.

1 Corinthians 16:9

9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.

1 Corinthians 16:10

10 When Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord, just as I am.

1 Corinthians 16:12

12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was quite unwilling to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

1 Corinthians 16:15

15 You know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the Lord’s people. I urge you, brothers and sisters,

1 Corinthians 16:16

16 to submit to such people and to everyone who joins in the work and labors at it.

1 Corinthians 16:17

17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.

1 Corinthians 16:18

18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.

1 Corinthians 16:19

19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.

1 Corinthians 16:24

24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
