But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. 17 factions 5 Or, 6 Or, have 7 Or, shall I praise you? In this I praise you not. 8 Many ancient authorities read is broken for you. But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but 18 for the worse. For first of all, when ye come together 2in the church, I hear that 3 divisions exist among you; and I partly 19 believe it. For there must be also 4heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 20 When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord's sup21 per: for in your eating each one taketh before other his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the 5 church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? 11 Gr. discrimi7 shall I praise you in this? I nated. 23 praise you not. For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, how that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took 24 bread; and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which 8 is for you: this do in remembrance 9 Or, 10 Gr. 12 Or, when we are judged of the Lord, we of me. In like manner also 25 the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new 9 covenant in my blood: this do, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat 26 this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore who- 27 soever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But let a man prove 28 himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. For he that eateth and 29 drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgement unto himself, if he 10 discern not the body. For 30 this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a ed ourselves, we should not be few sleep. But if we 11 discern- 31 judged. But 12 when we are 32 judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when 33 ye come together to eat, wait one for another. If any man 34 is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgement. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come. Now concerning spiritual 12 gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know 2 that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led. Wherefore I give you 3 to understand, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit. Now there are diversities of 4 gifts, but the same Spirit. And 5 there are diversities of minisare chas-trations, and the same Lord. And there are diversities of 6 workings, but the same God, tened powers. who worketh all things in all. 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to 8 profit withal. For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to an- 1 Gr. other the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: 9 to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; 10 and to another workings of 1 miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation 11 of tongues: but all these work 12 eth the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so 13 also is Christ. For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of 14 one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore 16 not of the body. And if the 2 Or, put on 3 Or, glorified 4 Or, members each in his part rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: and those 23 parts of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we 2 bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; whereas 24 our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honour to that part which lacked; that there should 25 be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suf- 26 fereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is 3 honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are 27 the body of Christ, and 4 severally members thereof. And 28 God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then Imiracles, then gifts of healings, helps, 5 governments, divers kinds of tongues. Are 29 all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of 1miracles? have all gifts 30 of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But 31 desire earnestly the greater ear shall say, Because I am 5 Or, wise gifts. And a still more excel not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not 17 of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smell counsels ancient authorities read that I 18 ing? But now hath God set 6 Many the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased 19 him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now they are many mem21 bers, but one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have 22 no need of you. Nay, much may glory. lent way shew I unto you. If I speak with the tongues 13 of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift 2 of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And 3 if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, 4 and is kind; love envieth not; 1 Or, covereth church may receive edifying. But now, brethren, if I come 6 unto you with speaking tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching? 3 Gr. knowing a voice, whether pipe or Even things without life, giv- 7 fully. riddle. 4 Gr. known fully. love vaunteth not itself, is not 5 puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, tak6 eth not account of evil; rejoiceth not in unrighteous-2 Gr. in a ness, but rejoiceth with the 7 truth; 1 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. 9 For we know in part, and we 10 prophesy in part: but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be 11 done away.

For if the 8 trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war? So also ye, unless 9 ye utter by the tongue speech easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air. There are, 10 it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and 9 no kind is without signification.

Wherefore let him that speak- 13 eth in a tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray 14 in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I 15 will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with eth up. without voice my case me. sire earnestly spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may pro2 phesy. For he that speaketh 10 Or, in in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man 7 understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mys3 teries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and comfort, and 12 Or, him the spirit, and I will sing with 11 Gr. that is without gifts: and so in ver. 23, 24. 4 consolation. He that speak- builded the understanding also. Else 16 if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of 12 the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest? For thou 17 verily givest thanks well, but the other is not 18 edified. I 18 thank God, I speak with tongues Brethren, be not children in mind: howbeit in malice be ye babes, but in mind be 1men. 21 In the law it is written, By 1 Gr. of full age. 2 Or, convicted discriminate. 5 Or, exhorted men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will 3 Or, in I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear 22 me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, 4 Gr. not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to them 23 that believe. If therefore the whole church be assembled together, and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, 6 Many will they not say that ye are 24 mad? But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving But if or unlearned, he is 2 reproved 25 by all, he is judged by all; the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is 3 among you indeed. 26 ancient authorities read any man knoweth not, he is not known. 7 Or, saved, if ye hold fast what I preached unto you, except &c. What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto 27 edifying. If any man speaketh in a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most three, and that in turn; and let one in-8 Gr. with 28 terpret: but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 And let the prophets speak 9 Or, by two or three, and let the 30 others 4 discern. But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep what word. without cause silence. For ye all can pro- 31 phesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be 5 comforted; and the spirits of the 32 prophets are subject to the prophets; for God is not a God of 33 confusion, but of peace; as in all the churches of the saints. Let the women keep silence 34 in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law. And 35 if they would learn any thing, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church. What? 36 was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone? If any man thinketh himself 37 to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord. But if 38 any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant. Wherefore, my brethren, de- 39 sire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. But let all things be 40 done decently and in order. Now I make known unto 15 you, brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, by which also 2 ye are 7 saved; I make known, I say, 8in what words I preached it unto you, if ye hold it fast, except ye believed in vain. For I de- 3 livered unto you first of all that which also I received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was 4 buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures; and that he appeared to Ce- 5 phas; then to the twelve; 1 Or, void 2 Some our. 3 Gr. the 4 Or, If we 6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some 7 are fallen asleep; then he appeared to James; then to 8 all the apostles; and last of all, as unto one born out of due time, he appeared to 9 me also. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the 10 church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found 1 vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they 6 Gr. the all: yet not I, but the grace of 11 God which was with me. Whether then it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resur13 rection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been 14 raised and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching 1 vain, 2 your faith 15 also is 1 vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up 3 Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not 16 raised. For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ 17 been raised: and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in 18 your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in 19 Christ have perished. 4 If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable. 20 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep. 21 For since by man came death, hoped in Christ in this life by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as 22 in Adam all die, so also in 3 Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own 23 ties read order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ's, at his 5 coming. Then cometh 24 the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath 25 put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that 26 shall be abolished is death. For, He put all things in sub- 27 jection under his feet. 7But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him. And when all things 28 have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all. 5 Gr.
