…to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

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

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.

If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”

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

…whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Now we see but a dim 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.

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.

Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.

If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.

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

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?

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

Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.

It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”

It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”

But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,

What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.

But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.

And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.

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.

So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.

Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.

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

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

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

…that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

…and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.

…and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.

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

Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.

And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.

For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

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

But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.

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

The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.

And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.

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

You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.

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

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

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

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

Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.

After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.

For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

…because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.

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

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

No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.

Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,

…to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.

…to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.

…to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.

For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:

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

For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.

We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.

…as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.

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 we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,

Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.

I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.
