thanks, but also all

Now I
beseech you, brethren, mark
them which cause divisions and offences contrary to
the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid
them.
Now I
urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who
create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to
the teaching you have learned. Turn away from
them.
For
they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but
their own
belly; and by good words and fair speeches
deceive the hearts of
the simple.
For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but
their own appetites. By smooth talk and
flattery they deceive the hearts of
the naive.

glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

Now to him that is of power to
stablish you according to my gospel, and
the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to
the revelation of
the mystery, which was kept secret since
the world began,
Now to Him who is able to
strengthen you by my gospel and by
the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to
the revelation of
the mystery concealed for ages past
But now is made manifest, and by
the scriptures of
the prophets, according to
the commandment of
the everlasting God, made known to all nations for
the obedience of faith:
but now revealed and made known through the writings of the prophets by the command of the eternal God, in order to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith—
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever.
Amen.
to
the only wise God be glory
forever through Jesus Christ!
Amen.

Unto
the church of God which is at Corinth, to
them that are
sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon
the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both
theirs and ours:
To
the church of God in Corinth, to those
sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
their Lord and ours:
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I
thank my God always on your behalf, for
the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
I always
thank my God for you because of
the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly
await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Who shall also
confirm you unto
the end, that ye may be
blameless in
the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He will
sustain you to
the end, so that you will be
blameless on
the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto
the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
Now I
beseech you, brethren, by
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak
the same thing, and that
there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in
the same mind and in
the same judgment.
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.
For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
Is Christ divided? was Paul
crucified for you? or were ye
baptized in
the name of Paul?
Is Christ divided? Was Paul
crucified for you? Were you
baptized into
the name of Paul?
And I
baptized also
the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I
baptized any other.
For Christ sent me not to
baptize, but to
preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest
the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
For Christ did not send me to
baptize, but to
preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest
the cross of Christ be
emptied of its power.
For
the preaching of
the cross is to
them that perish
foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is
the power of God.
For
the message of
the cross is
foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is
the power of God.
For it is written, I will destroy
the wisdom of
the wise, and will bring to nothing
the understanding of
the prudent.
For it is written: “I will destroy
the wisdom of
the wise;
the intelligence of
the intelligent I will
frustrate.”
Where is
the wise? where is
the scribe? where is
the disputer of this world? hath not God made
foolish the wisdom of this world?
Where is
the wise man? Where is
the scribe? Where is
the philosopher of this age? Has not God made
foolish the wisdom of
the world?
For after that in
the wisdom of God
the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by
the foolishness of preaching to save
them that believe.
For since in
the wisdom of God
the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through
the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom,
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Because
the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and
the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For
the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and
the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
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.
But God hath chosen
the foolish things of
the world to
confound the wise; and God hath chosen
the weak things of
the world to
confound the things which are mighty;
But God chose
the foolish things of
the world to shame
the wise; God chose
the weak things of
the world to shame
the strong.
And base things of
the world, and things which are
despised, hath God chosen,
yea, and things which are not, to bring to
nought things that are:
He chose
the lowly and
despised things of
the world, and
the things that are not, to
nullify the things that are,
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts
boast in
the Lord.”
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with
excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you
the testimony of God.
When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.
And my speech and my preaching was not with
enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of
the Spirit and of power:
My message and my preaching were not with
persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of
the Spirit’s power,
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
Howbeit we speak wisdom among
them that are perfect: yet not
the wisdom of this world, nor of
the princes of this world, that come to
nought:
Among
the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not
the wisdom of this age or of
the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
But we speak
the wisdom of God in a
mystery, even
the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before
the world unto our glory:
No, we speak of
the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began.
Which none of
the princes of this world knew: for had
they known it,
they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory.
None of
the rulers of this age understood it. For if
they had,
they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory.
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
But God hath revealed
them unto us by his Spirit: for
the Spirit searcheth all things,
yea,
the deep things of God.
But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
But
the natural man receiveth not
the things of
the Spirit of God: for
they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know
them, because
they are spiritually
discerned.
The natural man does not accept
the things that come from
the Spirit of God. For
they are
foolishness to him, and he cannot understand
them, because
they are spiritually
discerned.
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to
anyone’s judgment.
For who hath known
the mind of
the Lord, that he may
instruct him? But we have
the mind of Christ.
“For who has known
the mind of
the Lord, so as to
instruct Him?” But we have
the mind of Christ.
For ye are yet
carnal: for whereas
there is among you
envying, and
strife, and divisions, are ye not
carnal, and walk as men?
for you are still worldly. For since
there is jealousy and
dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in
the way of man?
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
What
then is Apollos? And what is Paul?
They are servants through whom you believed, as
the Lord has assigned to each his
role.
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
According to
the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid
the foundation, and another buildeth
thereon. But let every man take
heed how he buildeth
thereupon.
By
the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an
expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
his
workmanship will be evident, because
the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and
the fire will prove
the quality of each man’s work.
If any man’s work
abide which he hath built
thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.
If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Do you not know that you
yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
If any man
defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for
the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
If
anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
For
the wisdom of this world is
foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh
the wise in
their own
craftiness.
For
the wisdom of this world is
foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches
the wise in
their craftiness.”
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
And again, “
The Lord knows that
the thoughts of
the wise are
futile.”
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
Therefore, stop
boasting in men. All things are yours,
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or
Cephas, or
the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
whether Paul or Apollos or
Cephas or
the world or life or death or
the present or
the future. All of
them belong to you,
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not
hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is
the Lord.
My conscience is clear, but that does not
vindicate me. It is
the Lord who judges me.
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Therefore judge nothing before
the appointed time; wait until
the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will
expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
And
these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be
puffed up for one against another.
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.
For who maketh
thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou
didst not receive? now if thou
didst receive it, why
dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you
boast as though you did not?
For I think that God hath set forth us
the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a
spectacle unto
the world, and to angels, and to men.
For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at
the end of
the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a
spectacle to
the whole world, to angels as well as to men.
Being
defamed, we intreat: we are made as
the filth of
the world, and are
the offscouring of all things unto this day.
when we are
slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become
the scum of
the earth,
the refuse of
the world.
I write not
these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I
warn you.
I am not writing this to shame you, but to
warn you as my beloved children.
For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have
begotten you through
the gospel.
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.
Wherefore I
beseech you, be ye followers of me.
For this cause have I sent unto you
Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in
the Lord, who shall bring you into
remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
That is why I have sent you
Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in
the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.
But I will come to you shortly, if
the Lord will, and will know, not
the speech of
them which are
puffed up, but
the power.
But I will come to you shortly, if
the Lord is willing, and
then I will find out not only what
these arrogant people are saying, but what power
they have.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in
the spirit of
meekness?
Which do you
prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
It is reported commonly that
there is
fornication among you, and such
fornication as is not so much as named among
the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.
It is actually reported that
there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is
intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father’s wife.
And ye are
puffed up, and have not rather
mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been
stricken with grief and have removed from your
fellowship the man who did this?
For I
verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,
To deliver such an one unto
Satan for
the destruction of
the flesh, that
the spirit may be saved in
the day of
the Lord Jesus.
hand this man over to
Satan for
the destruction of
the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on
the Day of
the Lord.
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little
leaven leaveneth
the whole
lump?
