Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
I want you to be free from
concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.
But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,
There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.
And this I speak for your own profit; not
that I may cast a
snare upon you, but for
that which is comely, and
that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
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.
But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his
betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not
sinning; they should get married.
Nevertheless he
that standeth
stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart
that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
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 that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.
But she is happier if she so
abide, after my judgment: and I think also
that I have the Spirit of God.
In my judgment, however, she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
As concerning therefore the eating of those things
that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know
that an
idol is nothing in the world, and
that there is none other God but one.
So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know
that an
idol is nothing at all in the world, and
that there is no God but one.
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
Howbeit there is not in every man
that knowledge: for some with conscience of the
idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an
idol; and their conscience being weak is
defiled.
But not
everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols
that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an
idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is
defiled.
But take
heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them
that are weak.
Be careful, however,
that your freedom does not become a
stumbling block to the weak.
Wherefore, if meat make my brother to
offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to
offend.
Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to
stumble, I will never eat meat again, so
that I will not cause him to
stumble.
Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not
muzzle the mouth of the ox
that treadeth out the corn.
Doth God take care for oxen?
For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not
muzzle an ox while it is
treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen
that God is concerned?
Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written:
that he
that ploweth should
plow in hope; and
that he
that thresheth in hope should be
partaker of his hope.
Isn’t He actually speaking on our behalf? Indeed, this was written for us, because when the
plowman plows and the
thresher threshes, they should also expect to share in the harvest.
Do ye 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?
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?
Even so hath the Lord ordained
that they which
preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
In the same way, the Lord has prescribed
that those who
preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest
that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let
anyone nullify my
boast.
What is my reward then?
Verily that, when I
preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge,
that I
abuse not my power in the gospel.
What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.
For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
Though I am free of obligation to
anyone, I make myself a slave to
everyone, to
win as many as possible.
And unto 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;
To the Jews I became like a
Jew, to
win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to
win those under the law.
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.
To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to
win those without the law.
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.
To the weak I became weak, to
win the weak. I have become all things to all people so
that by all possible means I might save some.
And this I do for the gospel’s sake,
that I might be
partaker thereof with you.
I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.
And every man
that striveth for the
mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
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.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.
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.
No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they
drank of
that spiritual Rock
that followed them: and
that Rock was Christ.
and
drank the same spiritual drink; for they
drank from the spiritual rock
that accompanied them, and
that rock was Christ.
Wherefore let him
that thinketh he standeth take
heed lest he fall.
So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
There hath 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 ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it.
No
temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be
tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are
tempted, He will also provide an escape, so
that you can stand up under it.
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?
For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
Because there is one
loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all
partake of the one
loaf.
What say I then?
that the
idol is any thing, or
that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
Am I suggesting, then,
that food sacrificed to an
idol is anything, or
that an
idol is anything?
But I say,
that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not
that ye should have
fellowship with devils.
No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.
Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
If any of them
that believe not
bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go;
whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake
that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the
fulness thereof:
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—
For if I by grace be a
partaker, why am I evil spoken of for
that for which I give
thanks?
Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
as I also try to please
everyone in all I do. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many,
that they may be saved.
Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
Now I
commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.
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.
But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
But every woman
that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for
that is even all one as if she were
shaven.
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 in
yourselves: is it comely
that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
Judge for
yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
Doth not even nature itself teach you,
that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,
But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more
harm than good.
For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
For there must be also
heresies among you,
that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.
What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or
despise ye 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.
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 I have received of the Lord
that which also I delivered unto you,
That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was
betrayed took bread:
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was
betrayed, took bread,
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.
For
anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen
asleep.
But when we are judged, we are
chastened of the Lord,
that we should not be condemned with the world.
But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.
And if any man hunger, let him eat at home;
that ye come not together unto
condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
If
anyone is
hungry, he should eat at home, so
that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.
Ye know
that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these
dumb idols, even as ye were led.
You know
that when you were pagans, you were influenced and led
astray to
mute idols.
Wherefore I give you to understand,
that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus
accursed: and
that no man can say
that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
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.
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of
healing by the same Spirit;
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of
healing by
that one Spirit,
But all these worketh
that one and the
selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
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.
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
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?
And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
That there should be no
schism in the body; but
that the members should have the same care one for another.
so
that there should be no division in the body, but
that its members should have mutual
concern for one another.
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,
secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after
that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments,
diversities of tongues.
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.
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.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can
fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather
that ye may
prophesy.
Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
For he
that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him;
howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
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.
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
I would
that ye all spake with tongues, but rather
that ye
prophesied: for greater is he
that prophesieth than he
that speaketh with tongues, except he
interpret,
that the church may receive
edifying.
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.
Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him
that speaketh a
barbarian, and he
that speaketh shall be a
barbarian unto me.
If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.
It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts,
strive to
excel in gifts
that build up the church.
Wherefore let him
that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray
that he may
interpret.
Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray
that he may
interpret.
Else when thou shalt
bless with the spirit, how shall he
that occupieth the room of the unlearned say
Amen at thy giving of
thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
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?
I
thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
I
thank God
that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
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.
But in the church, I would rather speak five
coherent words to
instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not
listen to Me, says the Lord.”
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them
that believe, but to them
that believe not: but
prophesying serveth not for them
that believe not, but for them which believe.
Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.
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 ye are
mad?
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?
But if all
prophesy, and there come in one
that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is
convinced of all, he is judged of all:
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.
and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God,
proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”
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.
If
anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must
interpret.
If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.
For ye may all
prophesy one by one,
that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
If
anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge
that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
And
that he was seen of
Cephas, then of the twelve:
and
that He appeared to
Cephas and then to the Twelve.
After
that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen
asleep.
After
that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen
asleep.
After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
For I am the least of the apostles,
that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I
persecuted the church of God.
For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I
persecuted the church of God.
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
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.
