- 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
- 1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
- 1:4 Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of God.
- 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.
- 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
- 1:7 And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation.
- 1:8 For we would not, brothers, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life:
- 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead:
- 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
- 1:11 You also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed on us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
- 1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
- 1:13 For we write none other things to you, than what you read or acknowledge; and I trust you shall acknowledge even to the end;
- 1:14 As also you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as you also are our’s in the day of the Lord Jesus.
- 1:15 And in this confidence I was minded to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit;
- 1:16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia to you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
- 1:17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yes yes, and no no?
- 1:18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yes and no.
- 1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yes and no, but in him was yes.
- 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yes, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us.
- 1:21 Now he which establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God;
- 1:22 Who has also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
- 1:23 Moreover I call God for a record on my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet to Corinth.
- 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith you stand.

- 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do you.
- 16:2 On the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
- 16:3 And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality to Jerusalem.
- 16:4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
- 16:5 Now I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
- 16:6 And it may be that I will abide, yes, and winter with you, that you may bring me on my journey wherever I go.
- 16:7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
- 16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
- 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
- 16:10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do.
- 16:11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I look for him with the brothers.
- 16:12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
- 16:13 Watch you, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
- 16:14 Let all your things be done with charity.
- 16:15 I beseech you, brothers, (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
- 16:16 That you submit yourselves to such, and to every one that helps with us, and labors.
- 16:17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
- 16:18 For they have refreshed my spirit and your’s: therefore acknowledge you them that are such.
- 16:19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
- 16:20 All the brothers greet you. Greet you one another with an holy kiss.
- 16:21 The salutation of me Paul with my own hand.
- 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
- 16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
- 16:24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
1 Corinthians 15

- 15:1 Moreover, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;
- 15:2 By which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached to you, unless you have believed in vain.
- 15:3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
- 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
- 15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
- 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brothers at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some are fallen asleep.
- 15:7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
- 15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
- 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
- 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed on me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
- 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
- 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
- 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
- 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
- 15:15 Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
- 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
- 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.
- 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
- 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
- 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.
- 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
- 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
- 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
- 15:24 Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
- 15:25 For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.
- 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
- 15:27 For he has put all things under his feet. But when he said all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
- 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
- 15:29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
- 15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
- 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.
- 15:32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantages it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
- 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
- 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
- 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
- 15:36 You fool, that which you sow is not quickened, except it die:
- 15:37 And that which you sow, you sow not that body that shall be, but bore grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
- 15:38 But God gives it a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
- 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
- 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
- 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differs from another star in glory.
- 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
- 15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
- 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
- 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
- 15:46 However, that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
- 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
- 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
- 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
- 15:50 Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
- 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
- 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
- 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
- 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
- 15:55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
- 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
- 15:57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 14

- 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.
- 14:2 For he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to men, but to God: for no man understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
- 14:3 But he that prophesies speaks to men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
- 14:4 He that speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the church.
- 14:5 I would that you all spoke with tongues but rather that you prophesied: for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
- 14:6 Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
- 14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
- 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
- 14:9 So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for you shall speak into the air.
- 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
- 14:11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks shall be a barbarian to me.
- 14:12 Even so you, for as much as you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that you may excel to the edifying of the church.
- 14:13 Why let him that speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
- 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
- 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
- 14:16 Else when you shall bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupies the room of the unlearned say Amen at your giving of thanks, seeing he understands not what you say?
- 14:17 For you truly give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
- 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than you all:
- 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
- 14:20 Brothers, be not children in understanding: however, in malice be you children, but in understanding be men.
- 14:21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak to this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, said the LORD.
- 14:22 Why tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serves not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
- 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are mad?
- 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believes not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
- 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
- 14:26 How is it then, brothers? when you come together, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edifying.
- 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
- 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
- 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
- 14:30 If any thing be revealed to another that sits by, let the first hold his peace.
- 14:31 For you may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
- 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
- 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
- 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted to them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also said the law.
- 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
- 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it to you only?
- 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.
- 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
- 14:39 Why, brothers, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
- 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

- 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
- 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
- 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profits me nothing.
- 13:4 Charity suffers long, and is kind; charity envies not; charity braggs not itself, is not puffed up,
- 13:5 Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;
- 13:6 Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
- 13:7 Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
- 13:8 Charity never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
- 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
- 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
- 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
- 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
- 13:13 And now stays faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

- 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I would not have you ignorant.
- 12:2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, even as you were led.
- 12:3 Why I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
- 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
- 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
- 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which works all in all.
- 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit with.
- 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
- 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
- 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
- 12:11 But all these works that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
- 12:12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
- 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
- 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
- 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
- 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
- 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
- 12:18 But now has God set the members every one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.
- 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
- 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
- 12:21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
- 12:22 No, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
- 12:23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
- 12:24 For our comely parts have no need: but God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked.
- 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
- 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it.
- 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
- 12:28 And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
- 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
- 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
- 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I to you a more excellent way.

- 11:1 Be you followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
- 11:2 Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
- 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
- 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
- 11:5 But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
- 11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
- 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, for as much as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
- 11:8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
- 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
- 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
- 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
- 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
- 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray to God uncovered?
- 11:14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame to him?
- 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
- 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
- 11:17 Now in this that I declare to you I praise you not, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.
- 11:18 For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
- 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
- 11:20 When you come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
- 11:21 For in eating every one takes before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
- 11:22 What? have you not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise you the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
- 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
- 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
- 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do you, as oft as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
- 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord’s death till he come.
- 11:27 Why whoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
- 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
- 11:29 For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
- 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
- 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
- 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
- 11:33 Why, my brothers, when you come together to eat, tarry one for another.
- 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that you come not together to condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

- 10:1 Moreover, brothers, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
- 10:2 And were all baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
- 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
- 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
- 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
- 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
- 10:7 Neither be you idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
- 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
- 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
- 10:10 Neither murmur you, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
- 10:11 Now all these things happened to them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the world are come.
- 10:12 Why let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
- 10:13 There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.
- 10:14 Why, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
- 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.
- 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
- 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
- 10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
- 10:19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
- 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with devils.
- 10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.
- 10:22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
- 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
- 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
- 10:25 Whatever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
- 10:26 For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.
- 10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and you be disposed to go; whatever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
- 10:28 But if any man say to you, This is offered in sacrifice to idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof:
- 10:29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?
- 10:30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
- 10:31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
- 10:32 Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
- 10:33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
1 Corinthians 9

- 9:1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not you my work in the Lord?
- 9:2 If I be not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of my apostleship are you in the Lord.
- 9:3 My answer to them that do examine me is this,
- 9:4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
- 9:5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
- 9:6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
- 9:7 Who goes a warfare any time at his own charges? who plants a vineyard, and eats not of the fruit thereof? or who feeds a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock?
- 9:8 Say I these things as a man? or said not the law the same also?
- 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, You shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treads out the corn. Does God take care for oxen?
- 9:10 Or said he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that plows should plow in hope; and that he that threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.
- 9:11 If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
- 9:12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
- 9:13 Do you not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
- 9:14 Even so has the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
- 9:15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
- 9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid on me; yes, woe is to me, if I preach not the gospel!
- 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed to me.
- 9:18 What is my reward then? Truly that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
- 9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant to all, that I might gain the more.
- 9:20 And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
- 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
- 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
- 9:23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
- 9:24 Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.
- 9:25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
- 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beats the air:
- 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

- 8:1 Now as touching things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but charity edifies.
- 8:2 And if any man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
- 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
- 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
- 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
- 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
- 8:7 However, there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol to this hour eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
- 8:8 But meat commends us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
- 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your’s become a stumbling block to them that are weak.
- 8:10 For if any man see you which have knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
- 8:11 And through your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
- 8:12 But when you sin so against the brothers, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
- 8:13 Why, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world stands, lest I make my brother to offend.
