to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to

1. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me,
saying, It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
|
1. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me:
It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
|
2. Nevertheless, I say, to avoid fornication, let every
man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
|
2. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man
have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
|
5. Depart ye not one from the other, except it be with
consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and
come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
|
5. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with
consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and
come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
|
6. And now what I speak is by permission, and not by
commandment.
|
6. But I speak this by permission, and not of
commandment.
|
7. For I would that all men were even as myself. But
every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another
after that.
|
7. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But
every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another
after that.
|
9. But if they cannot abide, let them marry; for it is
better to marry than that any should commit sin.
|
9. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is
better to marry than to burn.
|
11. But if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be
reconciled to her husband; but let not the husband put away his wife.
|
11. But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or
be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
|
26. I suppose therefore that this is good for the
present distress, for a man so to remain that he may do greater good.
|
26. I suppose therefore that this is good for the
present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
|
28. But if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a
virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless, such shall have trouble
in the flesh. For I spare you not.
|
28. But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if
a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble
in the flesh: but I spare you.
|
29. But I speak unto you who are called unto the
ministry. For this I say, brethren, the time that remaineth is but short,
that ye shall be sent forth unto the ministry. Even they who have wives,
shall be as though they had none; for ye are called and chosen to do the
Lord's work.
|
29. But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it
remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
|
30. And it shall be with them who weep, as though they
wept not; and them who rejoice, as though they rejoiced not, and them who
buy, as though they possessed not;.
|
30. And they that weep, as though they wept not; and
they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as
though they possessed not;
|
31. And them who use this world, as not using it; for
the fashion of this world passeth away.
|
31. And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for
the fashion of this world passeth away.
|
32. But I would, brethren, that ye magnify your calling.
I would have you without carefulness. For he who is unmarried, careth for
the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord; therefore
he prevaileth.
|
32. But I would have you without carefulness. He that is
unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please
the Lord:
|
33. But he who is married, careth for the things that
are of the world, how he may please his wife; therefore there is a
difference, for he is hindered.
|
33. But he that is married careth for the things that
are of the world, how he may please his wife.
|
34. There is a difference also, between a wife and a
virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she
may be holy both in body and in spirit; but she that is married careth for
the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
|
34. There is difference also between a wife and a
virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she
may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for
the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
|
36. But if any man think that he behaveth himself
uncomely toward his virgin whom he hath expoused, if she pass the flower
of age, and need so require, let him do what he hath promised, he sinneth
not; let them marry.
|
36. But if any man think that he behaveth himself
uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so
require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
|
38. So then he that giveth himself in marriage doeth
well; but he that giveth himself not in marriage doeth better.
|
38. So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well;
but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

4. As concerning therefore the eating of those things
which are in the world offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an
idol is nothing, and that there is nothing, and that there is none other
God but one.
|
4. As concerning therefore the eating of those things
that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing
in the world, and that there is none other God but one.

but only one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
|
11. Now, all these things happened unto them for
ensamples; and they were written for our admonition also, and for an
admonition for those upon whom the end of the world shall come.
|
11. Now all these things happened unto them for
ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of
the world are come.
|
23. All things are not lawful for me, for all things are
not expedient? all things are not lawful, for all things edify not.
|
23. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not
expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
|
24. Let no man seek therefore his own, but every man
another's good.
|
24. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's
wealth.
|
27. If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast,
and ye be disposed to eat; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no
questions for conscience' sake.
|
27. 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.
|
33. Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking
mine own profit, but of the many, that they may be saved.
|
33. Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking
mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

CHAPTER 11
|
5. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her
head uncovered dishonoreth her head; for that is even all one as if she
were shaven.
|
5. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her
head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she
were shaven.
|
6. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be
shorn; but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be
covered.
|
6. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be
shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be
covered.
|
10. For this cause ought the woman to have a covering on
her head because of the angels.
|
10. For this cause ought the woman to have power on her
head because of the angels.
|
19. For there must be also divisions among you, that
they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
|
19. For there must be also heresies among you, that they
which are approved may be made manifest among you.
|
20. When ye come together into one place, is it not to
eat the Lord's supper?.
|
20. When ye come together therefore into one place, this
is not to eat the Lord's supper.
|
21. But in eating everyone taketh before his own supper;
and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
|
21. For in eating every one taketh before other his own
supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
|
29. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth
and drinketh condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
|
29. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth
and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

1. Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not
have you ignorant.
|
31. I say unto you, Nay; for I have shown unto you a
more excellent way, therefore covet earnestly the best gifts.
|

unto you a more excellent way.

CHAPTER 14
|
2. For he that speaketh in another tongue speaketh not
unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the
spirit he speaketh mysteries.
|
2. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh
not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the
spirit he speaketh mysteries.
|
4. He that speaketh in another tongue edifieth himself;
but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
|
4. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth
himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
|
13. Wherefore let him that speaketh in another tongue
pray that he may interpret.
|
13. Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue
pray that he may interpret.
|
14. For if I pray in another tongue, my spirit prayeth,
but my understanding is unfruitful.
|
14. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit
prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
|
19. 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 another tongue.

interpret.

saith the law.

is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under

husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to rule in the church.
|
35. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their
husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with
me.

delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put
down all rule, and all authority and power.

the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule
and all authority and power.
|
26. The last enemy, death, shall be destroyed.
|
26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
|
27. For he saith, When it is manifest that he hath put
all things under his feet, and that all things are put under, he is
excepted of the Father who did put all things under him.
|
27. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when
he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is
excepted, which did put all things under him.
|
31. I protest unto you the resurrection of the dead; and
this is my rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord daily, though I
die.
|
31. I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ
Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
|
37. And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that
body which shall be, but grain, it may be of wheat, or some other;
|
37. And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that
body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some
other grain:
|
40. Also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial, and
bodies telestial; but the glory of the celestial, one; and the
terrestrial, another; and the telestial, another.
|
40. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies
terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the
terrestrial is another.
|
46. Howbeit, that which is natural first, and not that
which is spiritual; but afterwards, that which is spiritual;

46. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but
that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
