- 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
- 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed on with our house which is from heaven:
- 5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
- 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed on, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
- 5:5 Now he that has worked us for the selfsame thing is God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
- 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
- 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
- 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
- 5:9 Why we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
- 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad.
- 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
- 5:12 For we commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that you may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
- 5:13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
- 5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
- 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not from now on live to themselves, but to him which died for them, and rose again.
- 5:16 Why from now on know we no man after the flesh: yes, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now from now on know we him no more.
- 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
- 5:18 And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
- 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
- 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be you reconciled to God.
- 5:21 For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

- 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
- 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
- 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
- 4:4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine to them.
- 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
- 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
- 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
- 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
- 4:9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
- 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
- 4:11 For we which live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
- 4:12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
- 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
- 4:14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
- 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
- 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
- 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
- 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

- 3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, letters of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
- 3:2 You are our letter written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
- 3:3 For as much as you are manifestly declared to be the letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
- 3:4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
- 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
- 3:6 Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.
- 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
- 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
- 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
- 3:10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excels.
- 3:11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remains is glorious.
- 3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
- 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
- 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same veil not taken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ.
- 3:15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, the veil is on their heart.
- 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
- 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
- 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.

- 2:1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
- 2:2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that makes me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
- 2:3 And I wrote this same to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
- 2:4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly to you.
- 2:5 But if any have caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
- 2:6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
- 2:7 So that contrariwise you ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
- 2:8 Why I beseech you that you would confirm your love toward him.
- 2:9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether you be obedient in all things.
- 2:10 To whom you forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
- 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
- 2:12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened to me of the Lord,
- 2:13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia.
- 2:14 Now thanks be to God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the aroma of his knowledge by us in every place.
- 2:15 For we are to God a sweet smell of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
- 2:16 To the one we are the smell of death to death; and to the other the smell of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?
- 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
