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

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

The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

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.

Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers with them.

Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the saints with them.

Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send you greetings.

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

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:

God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

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.

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.

My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

…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.

Already you have all you want. Already you have become rich. Without us, you have become kings. How I wish you really were kings, so that we might be kings with you!

We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

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

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

And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?

Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,

When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.

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

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.

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

Or don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”

Or don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”

But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.

But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.

…you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

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

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.

And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.

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.

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?

If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.

If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.

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.

Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.

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

If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

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.

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

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

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.

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

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

If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.

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.

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.

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

What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.

What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.

What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.

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

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.

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

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.

For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

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.”

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.”

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.

Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.

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

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.

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.

All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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:

…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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,

For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!

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 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.

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

For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,

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