Who

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

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

For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman. Conversely, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.

For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman. Conversely, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.

Now about virgins, I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.

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

What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;

…those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

…those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

…those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

…and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.

But the man who is firmly established in his heart and under no constraint, with control over his will and resolve in his heart not to marry the virgin, he will do well.

So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.

So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.

The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.

But the one who loves God is known by God.

For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?

This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:

Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?

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

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

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

Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?

Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?

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

Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.

So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.

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?

But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—

Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.

Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!

For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

Therefore I inform you 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.

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

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.

The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.

I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.

Again, if the trumpet sounds a muffled call, who will prepare for battle?

Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

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?

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?

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

Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

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

For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.

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.

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?

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.

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

…who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”

Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,

For if I grieve you, who is left to cheer me but those whom I have grieved?

I wrote as I did so that on my arrival I would not be grieved by those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would share my joy.

But thanks be to God, who always leads us triumphantly as captives in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.

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.

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 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.

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

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.

And in keeping with what is written, “I believed, therefore I have spoken,” we who have the same spirit of faith also believe and therefore speak,

…knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.

And it is God who has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.

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.

And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.

And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.

All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,

So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the one who was harmed, but rather that your earnestness on our behalf would be made clear to you in the sight of God.

So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the one who was harmed, but rather that your earnestness on our behalf would be made clear to you in the sight of God.

As it is written: “He who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”

As it is written: “He who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”

But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you.

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

And we are sending along with them our brother who has proven his earnestness to us many times and in many ways, and now even more so by his great confidence in you.

Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your store of seed and will increase the harvest of your righteousness.

Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.

I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.

We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.

Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.

But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast.

In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.
