Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.

If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.

It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.

Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

…so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”

I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.

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.

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

Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.

…so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

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.

Even if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

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

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?

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

Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers!

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!

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;

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;

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

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.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.

I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but in order to promote proper decorum and undivided devotion to the Lord.

Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.

By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

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.

…the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?

In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good.

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!

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.

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?

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

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 Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.

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

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

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

“Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?”

“Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?”

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.

If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven it in the presence of Christ for your sake,

For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is extending to more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow, to the glory of God.

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.

As a fair exchange—I speak as to my children—open wide your hearts also.

Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.

…and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.

…and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.

…yet now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us.

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 we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it.

I am not giving a command, but I am testing the sincerity of your love through the earnestness of others.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

Now finish the work, so that you may complete it with the same eager desire, according to your means.

At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. This way there will be equality.

At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. This way there will be equality.

In full view of the churches, then, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.

For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting to the Macedonians that since last year you in Achaia were prepared to give. And your zeal has stirred most of them to do likewise.

For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting to the Macedonians that since last year you in Achaia were prepared to give. And your zeal has stirred most of them to do likewise.

So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you beforehand and make arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. This way, your gift will be prepared generously and not begrudgingly.

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 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.

You will be enriched in every way to be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will produce thanksgiving to God.

Because of the proof this ministry provides, the saints will glorify God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all the others.

Because of the proof this ministry provides, the saints will glorify God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all the others.

And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.

Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,

I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.

I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.

See, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not be a burden, because I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

And for the sake of your souls, I will most gladly spend my money and myself. If I love you more, will you love me less?

In fact, we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong, and our prayer is for your perfection.

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.

The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.

What then has become of your blessing? For I can testify that, if it were possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

What then has become of your blessing? For I can testify that, if it were possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love.

The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
