Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
Neither let us commit
fornication, as some of
them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
Neither let us
tempt Christ, as some of
them also
tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.
Neither
murmur ye, as some of
them also
murmured, and were destroyed of
the destroyer.
And do not
complain, as some of
them did, and were killed by
the destroying angel.
Now all
these things happened unto
them for ensamples: and
they are written for our
admonition, upon whom
the ends of
the world are come.
Now
these things happened to
them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom
the fulfillment of
the ages has come.
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.
Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?
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.
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.
You cannot drink
the cup of
the Lord and
the cup of demons too; you cannot
partake in
the table of
the Lord and
the table of demons too.
Do we
provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
Are we trying to
provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.
Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
For
the earth is
the Lord’s, and
the fulness thereof.
for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
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—
Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?
the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
For if I by grace be a
partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give
thanks?
Whether
therefore ye eat, or drink, or
whatsoever ye do, do all to
the glory of God.
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.
Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
Do not become a
stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or
the church of God—
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.
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.
If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or
shaved off, she should cover her head.
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head,
forasmuch as he is
the image and glory of God: but
the woman is
the glory of
the man.
A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
But if any man seem to be
contentious, we have no such custom, neither
the churches of God.
If
anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do
the churches of God.
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.
When ye come together
therefore into one place, this is not to eat
the Lord’s
supper.
Now
then, when you come together, it is not
the Lord’s
Supper you eat.
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,
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 ye, as
oft as ye drink it, in
remembrance of me.
In
the same way, after
supper He took
the cup, saying, “This cup is
the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in
remembrance of Me.”
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do
shew the Lord’s death till he come.
For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you
proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
Wherefore
whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of
the Lord,
unworthily, shall be guilty of
the body and blood of
the Lord.
Therefore,
whoever eats
the bread or drinks
the cup of
the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of
sinning against
the body and blood of
the Lord.
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.
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.
Now
there are
diversities of gifts, but
the same Spirit.
There are different gifts, but the same Spirit.
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
There are different ministries, but the same Lord.
And
there are
diversities of operations, but it is
the same God which worketh all in all.
There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.
Now to each one
the manifestation of
the Spirit is given for
the common good.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same 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,
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:
to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
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.
For the body is not one member, but many.
For the body does not consist of one part, but of many.
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.
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
If they were all one part, where would the body be?
But now are they many members, yet but one body.
As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”
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,
And those members of
the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon
these we
bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant
comeliness.
and
the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special
modesty,
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 whether one member suffer, all
the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all
the members
rejoice with it.
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.
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.
But
covet earnestly
the best gifts: and yet
shew I unto you a more excellent way.
But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.
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.
If I speak in
the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing
gong or a
clanging cymbal.
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.
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 profiteth me nothing.
If I give all I possess to
the poor and
exult in
the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.
Charity never faileth: but whether
there be
prophecies,
they shall fail; whether
there be tongues,
they shall cease; whether
there be knowledge, it shall
vanish away.
Love never fails. But where
there are
prophecies,
they will cease; where
there are tongues,
they will be restrained; where
there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.
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.
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.
Now we see but a
dim reflection as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
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.
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?
Even in
the case of lifeless instruments, such as
the flute or
harp, how will
anyone recognize
the tune they are playing unless
the notes are distinct?
For if
the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to
the battle?
Again, if
the trumpet sounds a
muffled call, who will prepare for battle?
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will
anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into
the air.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
Assuredly,
there are many different languages in
the world, yet none of
them is without meaning.
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.
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.
What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.
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?
You may be giving
thanks well enough, but
the other one is not
edified.
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.”
