Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.

Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?

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

Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.

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

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

There are different gifts, but the same Spirit.

There are different ministries, but the same Lord.

There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.

All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.

The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

…and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,

Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.

Even in the case of lifeless instruments, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone recognize the tune they are playing unless the notes are distinct?

Even in the case of lifeless instruments, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone recognize the tune they are playing unless the notes are distinct?

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.

Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.

It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.

Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.

So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who are uninstructed or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?

The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.

If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.

Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?

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

After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

In that case, we are also exposed as 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.

In that case, we are also exposed as 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.

For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.

If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?

If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?

If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for human motives, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.

But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.

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

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

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

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

Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:

If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.

If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.

For this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.

For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.

Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.

…in order that Satan should not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

To the one we are an odor that brings death, to the other a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?

For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

You yourselves are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by everyone.

It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.

Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.

We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.

We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;

For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.

For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.

…because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.

For while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.

Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.

Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.

Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.

We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

So we aspire to please Him, whether we are at home in this body or away from it.

Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.

We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.

We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.

If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.

Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.

We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are open wide.

What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”

On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.

It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality.

Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel.
