They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.

So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.

So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.

I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.

Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.

Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,

…so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.

I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea.

Welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her with anything she may need from you. For she has been a great help to many people, including me.

…who have risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my beloved Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.

Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me as well.

Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them.

Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

Now to Him who is able to strengthen you by my gospel and by the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery concealed for ages past

…but now revealed and made known through the writings of the prophets by the command of the eternal God, in order to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith—

…but now revealed and made known through the writings of the prophets by the command of the eternal God, in order to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith—

…to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

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

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

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

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

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

He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

…but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

…but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

…but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

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.

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.

He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

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

I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.

Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.

“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.

He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.

…his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.

…whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,

…and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

…and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

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 men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.

For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at the end of the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.

To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.

…when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.

I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

Therefore I urge you to imitate me.

Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.

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

Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?

…hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.

I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

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

If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?

I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers?

I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers?

Instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers!

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts,

Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.

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

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

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

Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.

Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.

But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.

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

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