,,the ,,first ,,epistle ,,of ,,st4      
,,paul ,,to ,,the ,,corinthians    ,st4 
,paul1 having planted the faithful in   
,corinth1 where he had preached  a year 
and a half and converted a great many1  
went to ,ephesus4 ,after  being there   

three years1 he wrote this first        
,epistle to the ,corinthians  and sent  
it by the same persons1 ,stephanus1     
,fortunatus and ,achaicus1 who  had     
brought their letter to him4 ,it was    
written about twenty-four years  after  
our ,lord's ,ascension and contains     
several matters appertaining to  faith  
and morals and also to ecclesiastical   
discipline4      #a ,corinthians        
,chapter #a    ,he reproveth their      
dissensions about their teachers4 ,the  
world was to be  saved by preaching of  
the cross1 and not by human wisdom or   
eloquence4    #a3a4 ,paul1 called to be 
an apostle of ,jesus ,christ by the will
 of ,god1  and ,sosthenes a brother1    
#a3b4 ,to the church of ,god that is at 
,corinth1 to them that are  sanctified  
in ,christ ,jesus1 called to be saints1 
with all that invoke  the name of our   
,lord ,jesus ,christ in every place of  
theirs and ours4    #a3c4 ,grace to you 
and peace1 from ,god our father and from
 the ,lord ,jesus  ,christ4    #a3d4 ,i 

give thanks to my ,god always for you1  
for the grace of ,god that  is given you
 in ,christ ,jesus3    #a3e4 ,that in   
all things you are made rich in him1 in 
all utterance and  in all knowledge2    
#a3f4 ,as the testimony of ,christ was  
confirmed in you1    #a3g4 ,so that     
nothing is wanting to you in any grace1 
waiting for the  manifestation of our   
,lord ,jesus ,christ4    #a3h4 ,who also
 will confirm you unto the end without  
crime1 in the days  of the coming of our
 ,lord ,jesus ,christ4    #a3i4 ,god is 
faithful3 by whom you are called unto   
the fellowship of his  ,son1 ,jesus     
,christ our ,lord4    #a3aj4 ,now ,i    
beseech you1 brethren1 by the name of   
our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1  that you all 
speak the same thing and that there be  
no schisms among  you3 but that you be  
perfect in the same mind and in the same
 judgment4    #a3aa4 ,for it hath been  
signified unto me1 my brethren1 of you1 
by them  that are of the house of       
,chloe1 that there are contentions among

 you4    #a3ab4 ,now this ,i say1 that  
every one of you saith3 ,i indeed am of 
,paul2  and ,i am of ,apollo2 and ,i of 
,cephas2 and ,i of ,christ4    #a3ac4   
,is ,christ divided8 ,was ,paul then    
crucified for you8 ,or were you         
baptized in the name of ,paul8    #a3ad4
 ,i give ,god thanks1 that ,i baptized  
none of you but ,crispus and  ,caius3   
#a3ae4 ,lest any should say that you    
were baptized in my name4    #a3af4 ,and
 ,i baptized also the household of      
,stephanus4 ,besides1 ,i know  not      
whether ,i baptized any other4    #a3ag4
 ,for ,christ sent me not to baptize1   
but to preach the gospel3 not  in wisdom
 of speech1 lest the cross of ,christ   
should be made void4    #a3ah4 ,for the 
word of the cross1 to them indeed that  
perish1 is  foolishness3 but to them    
that are saved1 that is1 to us1 it is   
the power  of ,god4    #a3ai4 ,for it is
 written3 ,i will destroy the wisdom of 
the wise3 and the  prudence of the      
prudent ,i will reject4    #a3bj4 ,where

 is the wise8 ,where is the scribe8     
,where is the disputer of  this world8  
,hath not ,god made foolish the wisdom  
of this world8    #a3ba4 ,for1 seeing   
that in the wisdom of ,god1 the world1  
by wisdom1 knew  not ,god1 it pleased   
,god1 by the foolishness of our         
preaching1 to save  them that believe4  
#a3bb4 ,for both the ,jews require      
signs3 and the ,greeks seek after       
wisdom4    #a3bc4 ,but we preach ,christ
 crucified3 unto the ,jews indeed a     
stumblingblock1 and unto the ,gentiles  
foolishness3    #a3bd4 ,but unto them   
that are called1 both ,jews and ,greeks1
 ,christ1 the  power of ,god and the    
wisdom of ,god4    #a3be4 ,for the      
foolishness of ,god is wiser than men3  
and the weakness of  ,god is stronger   
than men4    ,the foolishness1 etc444   
,that is to say1 what appears foolish to
 the  world in the ways of ,god1 is     
indeed most wise2 and what appears weak 
is  indeed above all the strength and   
comprehension of man4    #a3bf4 ,for see

 your vocation1 brethren1 that there are
 not many wise  according to the flesh1 
not many mighty1 not many noble4        
#a3bg4 ,but the foolish things of the   
world hath ,god chosen1 that he may     
confound the wise3 and the weak things  
of the world hath ,god chosen1  that he 
may confound the strong4    #a3bh4 ,and 
the base things of the world and the    
things that are  contemptible1 hath ,god
 chosen3 and things that are not1 that  
he might  bring to nought things that   
are3    #a3bi4 ,that no flesh should    
glory in his sight4    #a3cj4 ,but of   
him are you in ,christ ,jesus1 who of   
,god is made unto us  wisdom and justice
 and sanctification and redemption3     
#a3ca4 ,that1 as it is written3 ,he that
 glorieth may glory in the ,lord4    #a 
,corinthians ,chapter #b    ,his        
preaching was not in loftiness of words1
 but in spirit and power4  ,and the     
wisdom he taught was not to be          
understood by the worldly wise or       
sensual man1 but only by the spiritual  

man4    #b3a4 ,and ,i1 brethren1 when ,i
 came to you1 came not in loftiness of  
speech or of wisdom1 declaring unto you 
the testimony of ,christ4    #b3b4 ,for 
,i judged not myself to know anything   
among you1 but ,jesus  ,christ3 and him 
crucified4    #b3c4 ,and ,i was with you
 in weakness and in fear and in much    
trembling4    #b3d4 ,and my speech and  
my preaching was not in the persuasive  
words of  human wisdom1 but in shewing  
of the ,spirit and power3    #b3e4 ,that
 your faith might not stand on the      
wisdom of men1 but on the  power of     
,god4    #b3f4 ,howbeit we speak wisdom 
among the perfect3 yet not the wisdom of
  this world1 neither of the princes of 
this world that come to nought4    #b3g4
 ,but we speak the wisdom of ,god in a  
mystery1 a wisdom which is  hidden1     
which ,god ordained before the world1   
unto our glory3    #b3h4 ,which none of 
the princes of this world knew4 ,for if 
they had known  it1 they would never    
have crucified the ,lord of glory4      

#b3i4 ,but1 as it is written3 ,that eye 
hath not seen1 nor ear heard3  neither  
hath it entered into the heart of man1  
what things ,god hath  prepared for them
 that love him4    #b3aj4 ,but to us    
,god hath revealed them by his ,spirit4 
,for the ,spirit  searcheth all things1 
yea1 the deep things of ,god4    #b3aa4 
,for what man knoweth the things of a   
man1 but the spirit of a man  that is in
 him8 ,so the things also that are of   
,god1 no man knoweth1 but  the ,spirit  
of ,god4    #b3ab4 ,now1 we have        
received not the spirit of this world1  
but the ,spirit  that is of ,god3 that  
we may know the things that are given us
 from ,god4    #b3ac4 ,which things also
 we speak3 not in the learned words of  
human  wisdom1 but in the doctrine of   
the ,spirit1 comparing spiritual things 
with spiritual4    #b3ad4 ,but the      
sensual man perceiveth not these things 
that are of the  ,spirit of ,god4 ,for  
it is foolishness to him3 and he cannot 
understand1  because it is spiritually  

examined4    ,the sensual man--the      
spiritual man444 ,the sensual man is    
either he who  is taken up with sensual 
pleasures1 with carnal and worldly      
affections2  or he who measureth divine 
mysteries by natural reason1 sense1 and 
human  wisdom only4 ,now such a man has 
little or no notion of the things of    
,god4 ,whereas the spiritual man is he  
who1 in the mysteries of religion1      
takes not human sense for his guide3 but
 submits his judgment to the  decisions 
of the church1 which he is commanded to 
hear and obey4 ,for  ,christ hath       
promised to remain to the end of the    
world with his church1  and to direct   
her in all things by the ,spirit of     
truth4    #b3ae4 ,but the spiritual man 
judgeth all things3 and he himself is   
judged  of no man4    #b3af4 ,for who   
hath known the mind of the ,lord1 that  
he may instruct him8  ,but we have the  
mind of ,christ4    #a ,corinthians     
,chapter #c    ,they must not contend   
about their teachers1 who are but ,god's

 ministers  and accountable to him4     
,their works shall be tried by fire4    
#c3a4 ,and ,i1 brethren1 could not speak
 to you as unto spiritual1 but as  unto 
carnal4 ,as unto little ones in ,christ4
    #c3b4 ,i gave you milk to drink1 not
 meat3 for you were not able as yet4    
,but neither indeed are you now able3   
for you are yet carnal4    #c3c4 ,for1  
whereas there is among you envying and  
contention1 are you not  carnal and walk
 you not according to man8    #c3d4 ,for
 while one saith3 ,i indeed am of ,paul3
 and another3 ,i am of  ,apollo3 are you
 not men8 ,what then is ,apollo and what
 is ,paul8    #c3e4 ,the ministers of   
him whom you have believed3 and to every
 one as  the ,lord hath given4    #c3f4 
,i have planted1 ,apollo watered3 but   
,god gave the increase4    #c3g4        
,therefore1 neither he that planteth is 
any thing1 nor he that  watereth3 but   
,god that giveth the increase4    #c3h4 
,now he that planteth and he that       
watereth1 are one4 ,and every man  shall

 receive his own reward1 according to   
his own labour4    #c3i4 ,for we are    
,god's coadjutors4 ,you are ,god's      
husbandry3 you are ,god's  building4    
#c3aj4 ,according to the grace of ,god  
that is given to me1 as a wise          
architect1 ,i have laid the foundation3 
and another buildeth thereon4 ,but  let 
every man take heed how he buildeth     
thereupon4    #c3aa4 ,for other         
foundation no man can lay1 but that     
which is laid3 which  is ,christ ,jesus4
    #c3ab4 ,now1 if any man build upon  
this foundation1 gold1 silver1 precious 
stones1 wood1 hay1 stubble3    ,upon    
this foundation444 ,the foundation is   
,christ and his doctrine3 or  the true  
faith in him1 working through charity4  
,the building upon this  foundation     
gold1 silver1 and precious stones1      
signifies the more perfect  preaching   
and practice of the gospel2 the wood1   
hay1 and stubble1 such  preaching as    
that of the ,corinthian teachers 7who   
affected the pomp of  words and human   

eloquence7 and such practice as is mixed
 with much  imperfection1 and many      
lesser sins4 ,now the day of the ,lord1 
and his  fiery trial1 7in the particular
 judgment immediately after death17     
shall  make manifest of what sort every 
man's work has been3 of which1 during   
this life1 it is hard to make a         
judgment4 ,for then the fire of ,god's  
judgment shall try every man's work4    
,and they1 whose works1 like wood1  hay1
 and stubble1 cannot abide the fire1    
shall suffer loss2 these works  being   
found to be of no value2 yet they       
themselves1 having built upon  the right
 foundation1 7by living and dying in the
 true faith and in the  state of grace1 
though with some imperfection17 shall be
 saved yet so as  by fire2 being liable 
to this punishment1 by reason of the    
wood1 hay1  and stubble1 which was mixed
 with their building4    #c3ac4 ,every  
man's work shall be manifest4 ,for the  
day of the ,lord shall  declare it1     
because it shall be revealed in fire4   

,and the fire shall try  every man's    
work1 of what sort it is4    #c3ad4 ,if 
any man's work abide1 which he hath     
built thereupon1 he shall  receive a    
reward4    #c3ae4 ,if any mans work     
burn1 he shall suffer loss3 but he      
himself shall  be saved1 yet so as by   
fire4    #c3af4 ,know you not that you  
are the temple of ,god and that the     
,spirit of  ,god dwelleth in you8       
#c3ag4 ,but if any man violate the      
temple of ,god1 him shall ,god destroy4 
,for the temple of ,god is holy1 which  
you are4    #c3ah4 ,let no man deceive  
himself4 ,if any man among you seem to  
be wise  in this world1 let him become a
 fool1 that he may be wise4    #c3ai4   
,for the wisdom of this world is        
foolishness with ,god4 ,for it is       
written3 ,i will catch the wise in their
 own craftiness4    #c3bj4 ,and again3  
,the ,lord knoweth the thoughts of the  
wise1 that they  are vain4    #c3ba4    
,let no man therefore glory in men4     
#c3bb4 ,for all things are yours1       

whether it be ,paul or ,apollo or       
,cephas1  or the world1 or life1 or     
death1 or things present1 or things to  
come4  ,for all are yours4    #c3bc4    
,and you are ,christ's4 ,and ,christ is 
,god's4    #a ,corinthians ,chapter #d  
,god's ministers are not to be judged4  
,he reprehends their boasting of  their 
preachers and describes the treatment   
the apostles every where met  with4     
#d3a4 ,let a man so account of us as of 
the ministers of ,christ and the        
dispensers of the mysteries of ,god4    
#d3b4 ,here now it is required among the
 dispensers that a man be found         
faithful4    #d3c4 ,but to me it is a   
very small thing to be judged by you or 
by man's  day4 ,but neither do ,i judge 
my own self4    #d3d4 ,for ,i am not    
conscious to myself of anything4 ,yet am
 ,i not hereby  justified3 but he that  
judgeth me is the ,lord4    #d3e4       
,therefore1 judge not before the time3  
until the ,lord come1 who both  will    
bring to light the hidden things of     

darkness and will make manifest  the    
counsels of the hearts4 ,and then shall 
every man have praise from  ,god4       
#d3f4 ,but these things1 brethren1 ,i   
have in a figure transferred to  myself 
and to ,apollo1 for your sakes3 that in 
us you may learn that one  be not puffed
 up against the other for another1 above
 that which is  written4    #d3g4 ,for  
who distinguisheth thee8 ,or what hast  
thou that thou hast not  received1 and  
if thou hast received1 why dost thou    
glory1 as if thou  hadst not received   
it8    #d3h4 ,you are now full3 you are 
now become rich3 you reign without us2  
and ,i would to ,god you did reign1 that
 we also might reign with you4    #d3i4 
,for ,i think that ,god hath set forth  
us apostles1 the last1 as it  were men  
appointed to death4 ,we are made a      
spectacle to the world and to  angels   
and to men4    #d3aj4 ,we are fools for 
,christs sake1 but you are wise in      
,christ3 we are  weak1 but you are      
strong3 you are honourable1 but we      

without honour4    #d3aa4 ,even unto    
this hour we both hunger and thirst and 
are naked and  are buffeted and have no 
fixed abode4    #d3ab4 ,and we labour1  
working with our own hands4 ,we are     
reviled3 and we  bless4 ,we are         
persecuted3 and we suffer it4    #d3ac4 
,we are blasphemed3 and we entreat4 ,we 
are made as the refuse of  this world1  
the offscouring of all1 even until now4 
#d3ad4 ,i write not these things to     
confound you3 but ,i admonish you as my 
dearest children4    #d3ae4 ,for if you 
have ten thousand instructors in        
,christ1 yet not many  fathers4 ,for in 
,christ ,jesus1 by the gospel1 ,i have  
begotten you4    #d3af4 ,wherefore1 ,i  
beseech you1 be ye followers of me as ,i
 also am of  ,christ4    #d3ag4 ,for    
this cause have ,i sent to you ,timothy1
 who is my dearest son  and faithful in 
the ,lord4 ,who will put you in mind of 
my ways1 which are  in ,christ ,jesus3  
as ,i teach every where in every church4
    #d3ah4 ,as if ,i would not come to  

you1 so some are puffed up4    #d3ai4   
,but ,i will come to you shortly1 if the
 ,lord will3 and will know1  not the    
speech of them that are puffed up1 but  
the power4    #d3bj4 ,for the kingdom of
 ,god is not in speech1 but in power4   
#d3ba4 ,what will you8 ,shall ,i come to
 you with a rod8 ,or in charity and  in 
the spirit of meekness8    #a           
,corinthians ,chapter #e    ,he         
excommunicates the incestuous adulterer 
and admonishes them to purge  out the   
old leaven4    #e3a4 ,it is absolutely  
heard that there is fornication among   
you and such  fornication as the like is
 not among the heathens3 that one should
 have  his father's wife4    #e3b4 ,and 
you are puffed up and have not rather   
mourned3 that he might be  taken away   
from among you that hath done this      
thing4    #e3c4 ,i indeed1 absent in    
body but present in spirit1 have already
  judged1 as though ,i were present1 him
 that hath so done1    #e3d4 ,in the    
name of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 you   

being gathered together  and my spirit1 
with the power of our ,lord ,jesus3     
#e3e4 ,to deliver such a one to ,satan  
for the destruction of the flesh1  that 
the spirit may be saved in the day of   
our ,lord ,jesus ,christ4    #e3f4 ,your
 glorying is not good4 ,know you not    
that a little leaven  corrupteth the    
whole lump8    #e3g4 ,purge out the old 
leaven1 that you may be a new paste1 as 
you are  unleavened4 ,for ,christ our   
pasch is sacrificed4    #e3h4           
,therefore1 let us feast1 not with the  
old leaven1 nor with the  leaven of     
malice and wickedness3 but with the     
unleavened bread of  sincerity and      
truth4    #i4 ,i wrote to you in an     
epistle not to keep company with        
fornicators4    #e3aj4 ,i mean not with 
the fornicators of this world or with   
the covetous  or the extortioners or the
 servers of idols3 otherwise you must   
needs go  out of this world4    #e3aa4  
,but now ,i have written to you1 not to 
keep company1 if any man  that is named 

a brother be a fornicator or covetous or
 a server of idols  or a railer or a    
drunkard or an extortioner3 with such a 
one1 not so  much as to eat4    #e3ab4  
,for what have ,i to do to judge them   
that are without8 ,do not you  judge    
them that are within8    #e3ac4 ,for    
them that are without1 ,god will judge4 
,put away the evil one  from among      
yourselves4    #a ,corinthians ,chapter 
#f    ,he blames them for going to law  
before unbelievers4 ,of sins that       
exclude  from the kingdom of heaven4    
,the evil of fornication4    #f3a4 ,dare
 any of you1 having a matter against    
another1 go to be judged  before the    
unjust3 and not before the saints8      
#f3b4 ,know you not that the saints     
shall judge this world8 ,and if the     
world shall be judged by you1 are you   
unworthy to judge the smallest  matters8
    #f3c4 ,know you not that we shall   
judge angels8 ,how much more things of  
this world8    #f3d4 ,if therefore you  
have judgments of things pertaining to  

this world1  set them to judge who are  
the most despised in the church4        
#f3e4 ,i speak to your shame4 ,is it so 
that there is not among you any one     
wise man that is able to judge between  
his brethren8    #f3f4 ,but brother     
goeth to law with brother3 and that     
before unbelievers4    #f3g4 ,already   
indeed there is plainly a fault among   
you1 that you have  law suits one with  
another4 ,why do you not rather take    
wrong8 ,why do you  not rather suffer   
yourselves to be defrauded8    ,a       
fault444 ,lawsuits can hardly ever be   
without a fault1 on the one side  or the
 other2 and oftentimes on both sides4   
#f3h4 ,but you do wrong and defraud3 and
 that to your brethren4    #f3i4 ,know  
you not that the unjust shall not       
possess the kingdom of ,god8  ,do not   
err3 ,neither fornicators nor idolaters 
nor adulterers3    #f3aj4 ,nor the      
effeminate nor liers with mankind nor   
thieves nor covetous  nor drunkards nor 
railers nor extortioners shall possess  

the kingdom of  ,god4    #f3aa4 ,and    
such some of you were4 ,but you are     
washed3 but you are  sanctified3 but you
 are justified3 in the name of our ,lord
 ,jesus ,christ  and the ,spirit of our 
,god4    #f3ab4 ,all things are lawful  
to me3 but all things are not expedient4

,that is1 all indifferent things are    
indeed  lawful1 inasmuch as they are not
 prohibited2 but oftentimes they are not
  expedient2 as in the case of lawsuits1

expedient to be enslaved by an irregular

 you not that your members are the

you1 whom you have from ,god3 and you

things whereof you wrote to me3 ,it is  
good for a  man not to touch a woman4   

#g3b4 ,but for fear of fornication1 let 
every man have his own wife3 and  let   
every woman have her own husband4       
,have his own wife444 ,that is1 keep to 
his wife1 which he hath4  ,his  meaning 
is not to exhort the unmarried to marry3
 on the contrary1 he  would have them   
rather continue as they are1 7,ver4     
#g3h47 ,but he speaks  here to them that
 are already married2 who must not      
depart from one  another1 but live      
together as they ought to do in the     
marriage state4    #g3c4 ,let the       
husband render the debt to his wife3 and
 the wife also in  like manner to the   
husband4    #g3d4 ,the wife hath not    
power of her own body3 but the husband4 
,and in  like manner the husband also   
hath not power of his own body3 but the 
wife4    #g3e4 ,defraud not one another1
 except1 perhaps1 by consent1 for a     
time1  that you may give yourselves to  
prayer3 and return together again1 lest 
,satan tempt you for your incontinency4 
#g3f4 ,but ,i speak this by indulgence1 

not by commandment4    ,by indulgence444
 ,that is1 by a condescension to your   
weakness4    #g3g4 ,for ,i would that   
all men were even as myself4 ,but every 
one hath  his proper gift from ,god3 one
 after this manner1 and another after   
that4    #g3h4 ,but ,i say to the       
unmarried and to the widows3 ,it is good
 for them  if they so continue1 even as 
,i4    #g3i4 ,but if they do not contain
 themselves1 let them marry4 ,for it is 
better to marry than to be burnt4    ,if
 they do not contain1 etc444 ,this is   
spoken of such as are free1 and  not of 
such as1 by vow1 have given their first 
faith to ,god2 to whom if  they will use
 proper means to obtain it1 ,god will   
never refuse the gift  of continency4   
,some translators have corrupted this   
text1 by rendering  it1 if they cannot  
contain4    #g3aj4 ,but to them that are
 married1 not ,i1 but the ,lord1        
commandeth that  the wife depart not    
from her husband4    #g3aa4 ,and if she 
depart1 that she remain unmarried or be 

reconciled to  her husband4 ,and let not
 the husband put away his wife4         
#g3ab4 ,for to the rest ,i speak1 not   
the ,lord4 ,if any brother hath a wife  
that believeth not and she consent to   
dwell with him3 let him not put  her    
away4    ,i speak1 not the ,lord444

ordinance4    #g3ac4 ,and if any woman  
hath a husband that believeth not and he
 consent  to dwell with her3 let her not

the unbelieving husband is sanctified by

unbelieving wife is sanctified by the   
believing husband4  ,otherwise your     
children should be unclean3 but now they
 are holy4    ,is sanctified444 ,the    
meaning is not1 that the faith of the   
husband or  the wife is of itself       
sufficient to put the unbelieving party1
 or their  children1 in the state of    
grace and salvation2 but that it is very
 often  an occasion of their            
sanctification1 by bringing them to the 

true faith4    #g3ae4 ,but if the       
unbeliever depart1 let him depart4 ,for 
a brother or  sister is not under       
servitude in such cases4 ,but ,god hath 
called us in  peace4    #g3af4 ,for how 
knowest thou1 ,o wife1 whether thou     
shalt save thy husband8  ,or how knowest
 thou1 ,o man1 whether thou shalt save

if thou  mayest be made free1 use it    
rather4    #g3bb4 ,for he that is called

 in the ,lord1 being a bondman1 is the  
freeman  of the ,lord4 ,likewise he that

abide with  ,god4    #g3be4 ,now1       
concerning virgins1 ,i have no          
commandment of the ,lord3 but ,i  give  
counsel1 as having obtained mercy of the
 ,lord1 to be faithful4    #g3bf4 ,i    
think therefore that this is good for

for a man so to be4    #g3bg4 ,art thou 
bound to a wife8 ,seek not to be loosed4
 ,art thou loosed  from a wife8 ,seek   
not a wife4    #g3bh4 ,but if thou take 
a wife1 thou hast not sinned4 ,and if a 
virgin  marry1 she hath not sinned3     
nevertheless1 such shall have           
tribulation of  the flesh4 ,but ,i spare
 you4    #g3bi4 ,this therefore ,i say1 
brethren3 ,the time is short4 ,it       
remaineth1  that they also who have     

wives be as if they had none3    #g3cj4 
,and they that weep1 as though they wept
 not3 and they that  rejoice1 as if they
 rejoiced not3 and they that buy as if  
they possessed  not3    #g3ca4 ,and they
 that use this world1 as if they used it
 not4 ,for the  fashion of this world   
passeth away4    #g3cb4 ,but ,i would   
have you to be without solicitude4 ,he  
that is without  a wife is solicitous   
for the things that belong to the ,lord3
 how he may  please ,god4    #g3cc4 ,but
 he that is with a wife is solicitous   
for the things of the  world3 how he may
 please his wife4 ,and he is divided4   
#g3cd4 ,and the unmarried woman and the 
virgin thinketh on the things of  the   
,lord3 that she may be holy both in body
 and in spirit4 ,but she that  is       
married thinketh on the things of the   
world3 how she may please her  husband4 
#g3ce4 ,and this ,i speak for your      
profit1 not to cast a snare upon you1   
but for that which is decent and which  
may give you power to attend upon  the  

,lord1 without impediment4    #g3cf4    
,but if any man think that he seemeth   
dishonoured with regard to  his virgin1 
for that she is above the age1 and it   
must so be3 let him do  what he will4   
,he sinneth not if she marry4    ,let   
him do what he will2 he sinneth not1    
etc444 ,the meaning is not1 as          
libertines would have it1 that persons  
may do what they will and not  sin1     
provided they afterwards marry2 but that
 the father1 with regard to  the giving 
his virgin in marriage1 may do as he    
pleaseth2 and that it  will be no sin to
 him if she marry4    #g3cg4 ,for he    
that hath determined1 being steadfast in
 his heart1 having  no necessity1 but   
having power of his own will3 and hath  
judged this in  his heart1 to keep his  
virgin1 doth well4    #g3ch4 ,therefore 
both he that giveth his virgin in       
marriage doth well3  and he that giveth 
her not doth better4    #g3ci4 ,a woman 
is bound by the law as long as her      
husband liveth3 but if  her husband die1

 she is at liberty4 ,let her marry to   
whom she will3 only  in the ,lord4      
#g3dj4 ,but more blessed shall she be1  
if she so remain1 according to my       
counsel4 ,and ,i think that ,i also have
 the spirit of ,god4    #a ,corinthians 
,chapter #h    ,though an idol be       
nothing1 yet things offered up to idols 
are not to be  eaten1 for fear of       
scandal4    #h3a4 ,now concerning those 
things that are sacrificed to idols3 we 
know  we all have knowledge4 ,knowledge 
puffeth up3 but charity edifieth4       
,knowledge puffeth up1 etc444           
,knowledge1 without charity and         
humility1  serveth only to puff persons 
up4    #h3b4 ,and if any man think that 
he knoweth any thing1 he hath not yet   
known as he ought to know4    #h3c4 ,but
 if any man love ,god1 the same is known
 by him4    #h3d4 ,but as for the meats 
that are sacrificed to idols1 we know   
that an  idol is nothing in the world   
and that there is no ,god but one4      
#h3e4 ,for although there be that are   

called gods1 either in heaven or on     
earth 7for there be gods many and lords 
many73    ,gods many1 etc444 ,reputed   
for such among the heathens4    #h3f4   
,yet to us there is but one ,god1 the   
,father1 of whom are all things1  and we
 unto him3 and one ,lord ,jesus ,christ1
 by whom are all things1 and  we by him4
    #h3g4 ,but there is not knowledge in
 every one4 ,for some until this        
present1 with conscience of the idol1   
eat as a thing sacrificed to an  idol3  
and their conscience1 being weak1 is    
defiled4    #h3h4 ,but meat doth not    
commend us to ,god4 ,for neither1 if we 
eat1 shall  we have the more3 nor1 if we
 eat not1 shall we have the less4       
#h3i4 ,but take heed lest perhaps this  
your liberty become a  stumblingblock to
 the weak4    #h3aj4 ,for if a man see  
him that hath knowledge sit at meat in  
the idol's  temple1 shall not his       
conscience1 being weak1 be emboldened to
 eat those  things which are sacrificed 
to idols8    #h3aa4 ,and through thy    

knowledge shall the weak brother perish1
 for whom  ,christ hath died8    #h3ab4 
,now when you sin thus against the      
brethren and wound their weak           
conscience1 you sin against ,christ4    
#h3ac4 ,wherefore1 if meat scandalize my
 brother1 ,i will never eat flesh1  lest
 ,i should scandalize my brother4    ,if
 meat scandalize444 ,that is1 if my     
eating cause my brother to sin4    #a   
,corinthians ,chapter #i    ,the apostle
 did not make use of his power of being 
maintained at the  charges of those to  
whom he preached1 that he might give no 
hindrance to  the gospel4 ,of running in
 the race and striving for the mastery4 
#i3a4 ,am ,i not ,i free8 ,am not ,i an 
apostle8 ,have not ,i seen ,christ      
,jesus  our ,lord8 ,are not you my work 
in the ,lord8    #i3b4 ,and if unto     
others ,i be not an apostle1 but yet to 
you ,i am4  ,for  you are the seal of my
 apostleship in the ,lord4    #i3c4 ,my 
defence with them that do examine me is 
this4    #i3d4 ,have not we power to eat

 and to drink8    #i3e4 ,have we not    
power to carry about a woman1 a sister  
as well as the  rest of the apostles and
 the brethren of the ,lord and ,cephas8 
,a woman1 a sister444 ,some erroneous   
translators have corrupted this text  by
 rendering it1 a sister1 a wife3        
whereas1 it is certain1 ,st4 ,paul had  
no wife 7chap4 #g ver4 #g1 #h7 and that 
he only speaks of such devout  women1   
as1 according to the custom of the      
,jewish nation1 waited upon the         
preachers of the gospel1 and supplied   
them with necessaries4    #i3f4 ,or ,i  
only and ,barnabas1 have not we power to
 do this8    #i3g4 ,who serveth as a    
soldier1 at any time1 at his own        
charges8  ,who  planteth a vineyard and 
eateth not of the fruit thereof8  ,who  
feedeth  the flock and eateth not of the
 milk of the flock8    #i3h4 ,speak ,i  
these things according to man8 ,or doth 
not the law also  say2 these things8    
#i3i4 ,for it is written in the law of  
,moses3 ,thou shalt not muzzle the      

mouth of the ox that treadeth out the   
corn4 ,doth ,god take care for oxen8    
#i3aj4 ,or doth he say this indeed for  
our sakes8 ,for these things are        
written for our sakes3 that he that     
plougheth1 should plough in hope and  he
 that thrasheth1 in hope to receive     
fruit4    #i3aa4 ,if we have sown unto  
you spiritual things1 is it a great     
matter if  we reap your carnal things8  
#i3ab4 ,if others be partakers of this  
power over you1 why not we rather8      
,nevertheless1 we have not used this    
power3 but we bear all things1 lest  we 
should give any hindrance to the gospel 
of ,christ4    #i3ac4 ,know you not that
 they who work in the holy place eat the
 things  that are of the holy place2 and
 they that serve the altar partake with 
the altar8    #i3ad4 ,so also the ,lord 
ordained that they who preach the gospel
 should  live by the gospel4    #i3ae4  
,but ,i have used none of these things4 
,neither have ,i written these  things1 
that they should be so done unto me3 for

 it is good for me to  die rather than  
that any man should make my glory void4 
#i3af4 ,for if ,i preach the gospel1 it 
is no glory to me3 for a necessity      
lieth upon me4 ,for woe is unto me if ,i
 preach not the gospel4    ,it is no    
glory444 ,that is1 ,i have nothing to   
glory of4    #i3ag4 ,for if ,i do this  
thing willingly1 ,i have a reward3 but  
if against  my will1 a dispensation is  
committed to me4    #i3ah4 ,what is my  
reward then8 ,that preaching the gospel1
 ,i may deliver  the gospel without     
charge1 that ,i abuse not my power in   
the gospel4    #i3ai4 ,for whereas ,i   
was free as to all1 ,i made myself the  
servant of  all1 that ,i might gain the 
more4    #i3bj4 ,and ,i became to the   
,jews a ,jew1 that ,i might gain the    
,jews3    #i3bb4 ,to the weak ,i became 
weak1 that ,i might gain the weak4 ,i   
became  all things to all men1 that ,i  
might save all4    #i3bc4 ,and ,i do all
 things for the gospel's sake1 that ,i  
may be made  partaker thereof4    #i3bd4

 ,know you not that they that run in the
 race1 all run indeed1 but  one         
receiveth the prize4 ,so run that you   
may obtain4    #i3be4 ,and every one    
that striveth for the mastery refraineth
 himself  from all things4 ,and they    
indeed that they may receive a          
corruptible  crown3 but we an           
incorruptible one4    #i3bf4 ,i         
therefore so run1 not as at an          
uncertainty3 ,i so fight1 not as  one   
beating the air4    #i3bg4 ,but ,i      
chastise my body and bring it into      
subjection3 lest perhaps1  when ,i have 
preached to others1 ,i myself should    
become a castaway4    ,i chastise1      
etc444 ,here ,st4 ,paul shews the       
necessity of self-denial and            
mortification1 to subdue the flesh1 and 
its inordinate desires4    #a           
,corinthians ,chapter #aj    ,by the    
example of the ,israelites1 he shews    
that we are not to build too  much upon 
favours received but to avoid their sins
 and fly from the  service of idols and 

from things offered to idols4    #aj3a4 
,for ,i would not have you ignorant1    
brethren1 that our fathers were  all    
under the cloud3 and all passed through 
the sea4    #aj3b4 ,and all in ,moses   
were baptized1 in the cloud and in the  
sea3    ,in ,moses444 ,under the conduct
 of ,moses1 they received baptism in    
figure1  by passing under the cloud1 and
 through the sea2 and they partook of   
the  body and blood of ,christ in       
figure1 by eating of the manna1 7called 
here  a spiritual food because it was a 
figure of the true bread which comes    
down from heaven17 and drinking the     
water1 miraculously brought out of  the 
rock1 called here a spiritual rock1     
because it was also a figure of         
,christ4    #aj3c4 ,and did all eat the 
same spiritual food3    #aj3d4 ,and all 
drank the same spiritual drink3 7,and   
they drank of the  spiritual rock that  
followed them3 and the rock was         
,christ47    #aj3e4 ,but with most of   
them ,god was not well pleased3 for they

 were  overthrown in the desert4        
#aj3f4 ,now these things were done in a 
figure of us1 that we should not  covet 
evil things1 as they also coveted4      
#aj3g4 ,neither become ye idolaters1 as 
some of them1 as it is written3  ,the   
people sat down to eat and drink and    
rose up to play4    #aj3h4 ,neither let 
us commit fornication1 as some of them  
that committed  fornication3 and there  
fell in one day three and twenty        
thousand4    #aj3i4 ,neither let us     
tempt ,christ1 as some of them tempted  
and perished  by the serpent4    #aj3aj4
 ,neither do you murmur1 as some of them
 murmured and were  destroyed by the    
destroyer4    #aj3aa4 ,now all these    
things happened to them in figure3 and  
they are  written for our correction1   
upon whom the ends of the world are     
come4    ,the ends of the world444 ,that
 is1 the last ages4    #aj3ab4          
,wherefore1 he that thinketh himself to 
stand1 let him take heed  lest he fall4 
#aj3ac4 ,let no temptation take hold on 

you1 but such as is human4  ,and  ,god  
is faithful1 who will not suffer you to 
be tempted above that which  you are    
able3 but will make also with temptation
 issue1 that you may be  able to bear   
it4    ,or444 no temptation hath taken  
hold of you444 or come upon you as yet1 
but what is human1 or incident to man4  
,issue444 or a way to escape4    #aj3ad4
 ,wherefore1 my dearly beloved1 fly from
 the service of idols4    #aj3ae4 ,i    
speak as to wise men3 judge ye          
yourselves what ,i say4    #aj3af4 ,the 
chalice of benediction which we bless1  
is it not the  communion of the blood of
 ,christ8 ,and the bread which we break1
 is it  not the partaking of the body of
 the ,lord8    ,which we bless444 ,here 
the apostle puts them in mind of their  
partaking  of the body and blood of     
,christ in the sacred mysteries1 and    
becoming  thereby one mystical body with
 ,christ4  ,from whence he infers1 ver4 
#ba1  that they who are made partakers  
with ,christ1 by the eucharistic        

sacrifice and sacrament1 must not be    
made partakers with devils by  eating of
 the meats sacrificed to them4          
#aj3ag4 ,for we1 being many1 are one    
bread1 one body3 all that partake of    
one bread4    ,one bread444 or1 as it   
may be rendered1 agreeably both to the  
,latin and  ,greek1 because the bread is
 one1 all we1 being many1 are one body1 
who  partake of that one bread4 ,for it 
is by our communicating with ,christ1   
and with one another1 in this blessed   
sacrament1 that we are formed into  one 
mystical body2 and made1 as it were1 one
 bread1 compounded of many  grains of   
corn1 closely united together4          
#aj3ah4 ,behold ,israel according to the
 flesh4 ,are not they that eat of  the  
sacrifices partakers of the altar8      
#aj3ai4 ,what then8 ,do ,i say that what
 is offered in sacrifice to idols is    
any thing8 ,or that the idol is any     
thing8    #aj3bj4 ,but the things which 
the heathens sacrifice1 they sacrifice  
to  devils and not to ,god4 ,and ,i

 sake4    #aj3bh4 ,but if any man say3  
,this has been sacrificed to idols3 do  
not eat  of it1 for his sake that told  
it and for conscience' sake4    #aj3bi4 

,conscience ,i say1 not thy own1 but the
 other's4 ,for why is my  liberty judged
 by another man's conscience8    #aj3cj4
 ,if ,i partake with thanksgiving1 why  
am ,i evil spoken of for that  for which
 ,i give thanks8    #aj3ca4 ,therefore1 
whether you eat or drink1 or whatsoever 
else you do1  do all to the glory of    
,god4    #aj3cb4 ,be without offence to 
the ,jew1 and to the ,gentiles and to   
the  church of ,god3    #aj3cc4 ,as ,i  
also in all things please all men1 not  
seeking that which is  profitable to    
myself but to many3 that they may be    
saved4    #a ,corinthians ,chapter #aa  
,women must have a covering over their  
heads4 ,he blameth the abuses of  their 
love feasts and upon that occasion      
treats of the ,blessed  ,sacrament4     
#aa3a4 ,be ye followers of me1 as ,i    
also am of ,christ4    #aa3b4 ,now ,i   
praise you1 brethren1 that in all things
 you are mindful of  me and keep my     
ordinances as ,i have delivered them to 
you4    #aa3c4 ,but ,i would have you   

know that the head of every man is      
,christ3  and the head of the woman is  
the man3 and the head of ,christ is     
,god4    #aa3d4 ,every man praying or   
prophesying with his head covered       
disgraceth  his head4    #aa3e4 ,but    
every woman praying or prophesying with 
her head not covered  disgraceth her    
head3 for it is all one as if she were  
shaven4    #aa3f4 ,for if a woman be not
 covered1 let her be shorn4 ,but if it  
be a  shame to a woman to be shorn or   
made bald1 let her cover her head4      
#aa3g4 ,the man indeed ought not to     
cover his head3 because he is the  image
 and glory of ,god4 ,but the woman is   
the glory of the man4    #aa3h4 ,for the
 man is not of the woman3 but the woman 
of the man4    #aa3i4 ,for the man was  
not created for the woman3 but the woman
 for the  man4    #aa3aj4 ,therefore    
ought the woman to have a power over her
 head1 because  of the angels4    ,a    
power444 that is1 a veil or covering1 as
 a sign that she is under the  power of 

her husband3 and this1 the apostle adds1
 because of the angels1  who are present
 in the assemblies of the faithful4     
#aa3aa4 ,but yet neither is the man     
without the woman1 nor the woman        
without the man1 in the ,lord4          
#aa3ab4 ,for as the woman is of the man1
 so also is the man by the woman3  but  
all things of ,god4    #aa3ac4 ,you     
yourselves judge4 ,doth it become a     
woman to pray unto ,god  uncovered8     
#aa3ad4 ,doth not even nature itself    
teach you that a man indeed1 if he      
nourish his hair1 it is a shame unto    
him8    #aa3ae4 ,but if a woman nourish 
her hair1 it is a glory to her2 for her 
hair is given to her for a covering4    
#aa3af4 ,but if any man seem to be      
contentious1 we have no such custom1    
nor the ,church of ,god4    #aa3ag4 ,now
 this ,i ordain3 not praising you1 that 
you come together1 not  for the better1 
but for the worse4    #aa3ah4 ,for first
 of all ,i hear that when you come      
together in the  church1 there are      

schisms among you4 ,and in part ,i      
believe it4    #aa3ai4 ,for there must  
be also heresies3 that they also1 who   
are approved  may be made manifest among
 you4    ,there must be also heresies444
 ,by reason of the pride and perversity 
of  man's heart2 not by ,god's will or  
appointment2 who nevertheless draws     
good out of this evil1 manifesting1 by  
that occasion1 who are the good  and    
firm ,christians1 and making their faith
 more remarkable4    #aa3bj4 ,when you  
come therefore together into one place1 
it is not now to  eat the ,lord's       
supper4    ,the ,lord's supper444 ,so   
the apostle here calls the charity      
feasts  observed by the primitive       
,christians2 and reprehends the abuses  
of the  ,corinthians1 on these          
occasions2 which were the more criminal1
 because  these feasts were accompanied 
with the celebrating of the eucharistic 
sacrifice and sacrament4    #aa3ba4 ,for
 every one taketh before his own supper 
to eat4 ,and one indeed  is hungry and  

another is drunk4    #aa3bb4 ,what1 have
 you no houses to eat and to drink in8  
,or despise ye  the church of ,god and  
put them to shame that have not8 ,what  
shall ,i say  to you8 ,do ,i praise you8
 ,in this ,i praise you not4    #aa3bc4 
,for ,i have received of the ,lord that 
which also ,i delivered unto  you1 that 
the ,lord ,jesus1 the same night in     
which he was betrayed1 took  bread1     
#aa3bd4 ,and giving thanks1 broke and   
said3 ,take ye and eat3 ,this is my     
body1 which shall be delivered for you4 
,this do for the commemoration of  me4  
#aa3be4 ,in like manner also the        
chalice1 after he had supped1 saying3   
,this chalice is the new testament in my
 blood4 ,this do ye1 as often as  you   
shall drink1 for the commemoration of   
me4    #aa3bf4 ,for as often as you     
shall eat this bread and drink the      
chalice1  you shall shew the death of   
the ,lord1 until he come4    #aa3bg4    
,therefore1 whosoever shall eat this    
bread1 or drink the chalice  of the     

,lord unworthily1 shall be guilty of the
 body and of the blood of  the ,lord4   
,or drink444 ,here erroneous translators
 corrupted the text1 by putting  and    
drink 7contrary to the original7 instead
 of or drink4    ,guilty of the body1   
etc41 not discerning the body1 etc444   
,this  demonstrates the real presence of
 the body and blood of ,christ1 even to 
the unworthy communicant2 who otherwise 
could not be guilty of the body  and    
blood of ,christ1 or justly condemned   
for not discerning the ,lord's  body4   
#aa3bh4 ,but let a man prove himself3   
and so let him eat of that bread and    
drink of the chalice4    ,drink of the  
chalice444 ,this is not said by way of  
command1 but by way  of allowance1 viz41
 where and when it is agreeable to the  
practice and  discipline of the church4 
#aa3bi4 ,for he that eateth and drinketh
 unworthily eateth and drinketh         
judgment to himself1 not discerning the 
body of the ,lord4    #aa3cj4 ,therefore
 are there many infirm and weak among   

you3 and many  sleep4    #aa3ca4 ,but if
 we would judge ourselves1 we should not
 be judged4    #aa3cb4 ,but whilst we   
are judged1 we are chastised by the     
,lord1 that we  be not condemned with   
this world4    #aa3cc4 ,wherefore1 my   
brethren1 when you come together to eat1
 wait for  one another4    #aa3cd4 ,if  
any man be hungry1 let him eat at home2 
that you come not  together unto        
judgment4 ,and the rest ,i will set in  
order1 when ,i come4    #a ,corinthians 
,chapter #ab    ,of the diversity of    
spiritual gifts4 ,the members of the    
mystical body1  like those of the       
natural body1 must mutually cherish one 
another4    #ab3a4 ,now concerning      
spiritual things1 my brethren1 ,i would 
not have you  ignorant4    #ab3b4 ,you  
know that when you were heathens1 you   
went to dumb idols1  according as you   
were led4    #ab3c4 ,wherefore1 ,i give 
you to understand that no man1 speaking 
by the  ,spirit of ,god1 saith ,anathema
 to ,jesus4 ,and no man can say ,the    

,lord  ,jesus1 but by the ,holy ,ghost4 
#ab3d4 ,now there are diversities of    
graces1 but the same ,spirit4    #ab3e4 
,and there are diversities of ministries
 but the same ,lord4    #ab3f4 ,and     
there are diversities of operations1 but
 the same ,god1 who  worketh all in all4
    #ab3g4 ,and the manifestation of the
 ,spirit is given to every man unto     
profit4    #ab3h4 ,to one indeed1 by the
 ,spirit1 is given the word of wisdom3  
and to  another1 the word of knowledge1 
according to the same ,spirit3    #ab3i4
 ,to another1 faith in the same spirit3 
to another1 the grace of  healing in one
 ,spirit3    #ab3aj4 ,to another the    
working of miracles3 to another1        
prophecy3 to  another1 the discerning of
 spirits3 to another1 diverse kinds of  
tongues3 to another1 interpretation of  
speeches4    #ab3aa4 ,but all these     
things1 one and the same ,spirit        
worketh1 dividing  to every one         
according as he will4    #ab3ab4 ,for as
 the body is one and hath many members2 

and all the members  of the body1       
whereas they are many1 yet are one body3
 ,so also is ,christ4    #ab3ac4 ,for in
 one ,spirit were we all baptized into  
one body1 whether  ,jews or ,gentiles1  
whether bond or free3 and in one ,spirit
 we have all  been made to drink4       
#ab3ad4 ,for the body also is not one   
member1 but many4    #ab3ae4 ,if the    
foot should say3 ,because ,i am not the 
hand1 ,i am not of  the body3 ,is it    
therefore not of the ,body8    #ab3af4  
,and if the ear should say3 ,because ,i 
am not the eye1 ,i am not of  the body3 
,is it therefore not of the body8       
#ab3ag4 ,if the whole body were the eye1
 where would be the hearing8  ,if  the  
whole were hearing1 where would be the  
smelling8    #ab3ah4 ,but now ,god hath 
set the members1 every one of them1 in  
the body  as it hath pleased him4       
#ab3ai4 ,and if they all were one       
member1 where would be the body8        
#ab3bj4 ,but now there are many members 
indeed1 yet one body4    #ab3ba4 ,and   

the eye cannot say to the hand3 ,i need 
not thy help4  ,nor  again the head to  
the feet3 ,i have no need of you4       
#ab3bb4 ,yea1 much1 more those that seem
 to be the more feeble members of  the  
body are more necessary4    #ab3bc4 ,and
 such as we think to be the less        
houourable members of the  body1 about  
these we put more abundant honour3 and  
those that are our  uncomely parts have 
more abundant comeliness4    #ab3bd4    
,but our comely parts have no need3 but 
,god hath tempered the body  together1  
giving to that which wanted the more    
abundant honour4    #ab3be4 ,that there 
might be no schism in the body3 but the 
members might  be mutually careful one  
for another4    #ab3bf4 ,and if one     
member suffer any thing1 all the members
 suffer with  it3 or if one member      
glory1 all the members rejoice with it4 
#ab3bg4 ,now you are the body of ,christ
 and members of member4    #ab3bh4 ,and 
,god indeed hath set some in the church2
 first apostles1  secondly prophets1    

thirdly doctors3 after that miracles3   
then the graces  of healings1 helps1

 ,are all apostles8 ,are all prophets8  
,are all doctors8    #ab3cj4 ,are all   
workers of miracles8 ,have all the grace
 of healing8  ,do  all speak with       
tongues8 ,do all interpret8    #ab3ca4  
,but be zealous for the better gifts4   
,and ,i shew unto you yet a  more       
excellent way4    #a ,corinthians       
,chapter #ac    ,charity is to be       
preferred before all gifts4    #ac3a4   
,if ,i speak with the tongues of men and
 of angels1 and have not  charity1 ,i am
 become as sounding brass1 or a tinkling
 cymbal4    #ac3b4 ,and if ,i should    
have prophecy and should know all       
mysteries and  all knowledge1 and if ,i 
should have all faith1 so that ,i could 
remove  mountains1 and have not charity1
 ,i am nothing4    #ac3c4 ,and if ,i    
should distribute all my goods to feed  
the poor1 and if ,i  should deliver my  

body to be burned1 and have not charity1
 it profiteth  me nothing4    #ac3d4    
,charity is patient1 is kind3 charity   
envieth not1 dealeth not  perversely1 is
 not puffed up1    #ac3e4 ,is not       
ambitious1 seeketh not her own1 is not  
provoked to anger1  thinketh no evil3   
#ac3f4 ,rejoiceth not in iniquity1 but  
rejoiceth with the truth3    #ac3g4     
,beareth all things1 believeth all      
things1 hopeth all things1  endureth all
 things4    #ac3h4 ,charity never       
falleth away3 whether prophecies shall  
be made void  or tongues shall cease or 
knowledge shall be destroyed4    #ac3i4 
,for we know in part3 and we prophesy in
 part4    #ac3aj4 ,but when that which  
is perfect is come1 that which is in    
part  shall be done away4    #ac3aa4    
,when ,i was a child1 ,i spoke as a     
child1 ,i understood as a child1  ,i    
thought as a child4 ,but1 when ,i became
 a man1 ,i put away the things of  a    
child4    #ac3ab4 ,we see now through a 
glass in a dark manner3 but then face to

  face4 ,now ,i know in part3 but then  
,i shall know even as ,i am known4      
#ac3ac4 ,and now there remain faith1    
hope1 and charity1 these three3 but  the
 greatest of these is charity4    #a    
,corinthians ,chapter #ad    ,the gift  
of prophesying is to be preferred before
 that of speaking  strange tongues4     
#ad3a4 ,follow after charity1 be zealous
 for spiritual gifts2 but rather  that  
you may prophesy4    ,prophesy444 ,that 
is1 declare or expound the mysteries of 
faith4    #ad3b4 ,for he that speaketh  
in a tongue speaketh not unto men1 but  
unto  ,god3 for no man heareth4 ,yet by 
the ,spirit he speaketh mysteries4      
,not unto men444 ,viz41 so as to be     
heard1 that is1 so as to be understood  
by them4    #ad3c4 ,but he that         
prophesieth speaketh to men unto        
edification and  exhortation and        
comfort4    #ad3d4 ,he that speaketh in 
a tongue edifieth himself3 but he that  
prophesieth1 edifieth the church4       
#ad3e4 ,and ,i would have you all to    

speak with tongues1 but rather to       
prophesy4 ,for greater is he that       
prophesieth than he that speaketh with  
tongues3 unless perhaps he interpret1   
that the church may receive             
edification4    #ad3f4 ,but now1        
brethren1 if ,i come to you speaking    
with tongues1 what  shall ,i profit you1
 unless ,i speak to you either in       
revelation or in  knowledge or in       
prophecy or in doctrine8    #ad3g4 ,even
 things without life that give sound1   
whether pipe or harp1  except they give 
a distinction of sounds1 how shall it be
 known what is  piped or harped8        
#ad3h4 ,for if the trumpet give an      
uncertain sound1 who shall prepare      
himself to the battle8    #ad3i4 ,so    
likewise you1 except you utter by the   
tongue plain speech1 how  shall it be   
known what is said8 ,for you shall be   
speaking into the air4    #ad3aj4 ,there
 are1 for example1 so many kinds of     
tongues in this world3  and none is     
without voice4    #ad3aa4 ,if then ,i   

know not the power of the voice1 ,i     
shall be to him to  whom ,i speak a     
barbarian3 and he that speaketh a       
barbarian to me4    #ad3ab4 ,so you     
also1 forasmuch as you are zealous of   
spirits1 seek to  abound unto the       
edifying of the church4    ,of          
spirits444 ,of spiritual gifts4         
#ad3ac4 ,and therefore he that speaketh 
by a tongue1 let him pray that he  may  
interpret4    #ad3ad4 ,for if ,i pray in
 a tongue1 my spirit prayeth3 but my    
understanding is without fruit4         
#ad3ae4 ,what is it then8 ,i will pray  
with the spirit1 ,i will pray also  with
 the understanding1 ,i will sing with   
the spirit1 ,i will sing also  with the 
understanding4    #ad3af4 ,else1 if thou
 shalt bless with the spirit1 how shall 
he that  holdeth the place of the       
unlearned say1 ,amen1 to thy blessing8  
,because  he knoweth not what thou      
sayest4    ,amen444 ,the unlearned1 not 
knowing that you are then blessing1 will
 not  be qualified to join with you by  

saying ,amen to your blessing4 ,the use 
or abuse of strange tongues1 of which   
the apostle here speaks1 does not       
regard the public liturgy of the church1
 7in which strange tongues were  never  
used17 but certain conferences of the   
faithful1 ver4 #bf1 etc41 in  which1    
meeting together1 they discovered to one
 another their various  miraculous gifts
 of the ,spirit1 common in those        
primitive times2 amongst  which the     
apostle prefers that of prophesying     
before that of speaking  strange        
tongues1 because it was more to the     
public edification4 ,where  also not1   
that the ,latin1 used in our liturgy1 is
 so far from being a  strange or unknown
 tongue1 that it is perhaps the best    
known tongue in  the world4    #ad3ag4  
,for thou indeed givest thanks well3 but
 the other is not edified4    #ad3ah4 ,i
 thank my ,god ,i speak with all your   
tongues4    #ad3ai4 ,but in the church  
,i had rather speak five words with my  
understanding1 that ,i may instruct     

others also3 than ten thousand words  in
 a tongue4    #ad3bj4 ,brethren1 do not 
become children in sense4 ,but in malice
 be  children3 and in sense be perfect4 
#ad3ba4 ,in the law it is written3 ,in  
other tongues and other lips ,i will    
speak to this people3 and neither so    
will they hear me1 saith the ,lord4     
#ad3bb4 ,wherefore tongues are for a    
sign1 not to believers but to           
unbelievers3 but prophecies1 not to     
unbelievers but to believers4    #ad3bc4
 ,if therefore the whole church come    
together into one place1 and  all speak 
with tongues1 and there come in         
unlearned persons or infidels1  will    
they not say that you are mad8          
#ad3bd4 ,but if all prophesy1 and there 
come in one that believeth not or  an   
unlearned person1 he is convinced of    
all3 he is judged of all4    #ad3be4    
,the secrets of his heart are made      
manifest4 ,and so1 falling down  on his 
face1 he will adore ,god1 affirming that
 ,god is among you indeed4    #ad3bf4   

,how is it then1 brethren8 ,when you    
come together1 every one of  you hath a 
psalm1 hath a doctrine1 hath a          
revelation1 hath a tongue1  hath an     
interpretation3 let all things be done  
to edification4    #ad3bg4 ,if any speak
 with a tongue1 let it be by two1 or at 
the most by  three1 and in course3 and  
let one interpret4    #ad3bh4 ,but if   
there be no interpreter1 let him hold   
his peace in the  church and speak to   
himself and to ,god4    #ad3bi4  ,and   
let the prophets speak1 two or three3   
and let the rest  judge4    #ad3cj4 ,but
 if any thing be revealed to another    
sitting1 let the first  hold his peace4 
#ad3ca4 ,for you may all prophesy1 one  
by one1 that all may learn and all  may 
be exhorted4    #ad3cb4 ,and the spirits
 of the prophets are subject to the     
prophets4    #ad3cc4 ,for ,god is not   
the ,god of dissension1 but of peace3 as
 also ,i  teach in all the churches of  
the saints4    #ad3cd4 ,let women keep  
silence in the churches3 for it is not  

permitted  them to speak but to be      
subject1 as also the law saith4         
#ad3ce4 ,but if they would learn        
anything1 let them ask their husbands at
  home4 ,for it is a shame for a woman  
to speak in the church4    #ad3cf4 ,or  
did the word of ,god come out from you8 
,or came it only unto  you8    #ad3cg4  
,if any seem to be a prophet or         
spiritual1 let him know the things  that
 ,i write to you1 that they are the     
commandments of the ,lord4    #ad3ch4   
,but if any man know not1 he shall not  
be known4    #ad3ci4 ,wherefore1        
brethren1 be zealous to prophesy3 and   
forbid not to  speak with tongues4      
#ad3dj4 ,but let all things be done     
decently and according to order4    #a  
,corinthians ,chapter #ae    ,christ's  
resurrection and ours4 ,the manner of   
our resurrection4    #ae3a4 ,now ,i make
 known unto you1 brethren1 the gospel   
which ,i preached  to you1 which also   
you have received and wherein you stand4
    #ae3b4 ,by which also you are saved1

 if you hold fast after what manner ,i  
preached unto you1 unless you have      
believed in vain4    #ae3c4 ,for ,i     
delivered unto you first of all1 which  
,i also received3 how  that ,christ died
 for our sins1 according to the         
scriptures3    #ae3d4 ,and that he was  
buried3 and that he rose again according
 to the  scriptures3    #ae3e4 ,and that
 he was seen by ,cephas1 and after that 
by the eleven4    #ae3f4 ,then was he   
seen by more than five hundred brethren 
at once3 of  whom many remain until this
 present1 and some are fallen asleep4   
#ae3g4 ,after that1 he was seen by      
,james3 then by all the apostles4       
#ae3h4 ,and last of all1 he was seen    
also by me1 as by one born out of due   
tine4    #ae3i4 ,for ,i am the least of 
the apostles1 who am not worthy to be   
called  an apostle1 because ,i          
persecuted the church of ,god4          
#ae3aj4 ,but by the grace of ,god1 ,i am
 what ,i am4 ,and his grace in me hath  
not been void3 but ,i have laboured more

 abundantly than all they4 ,yet  not ,i1
 but the grace of ,god with me3         
#ae3aa4 ,for whether ,i or they1 so we  
preach3 and so you have believed4       
#ae3ab4 ,now if ,christ be preached1    
that he arose again from the dead1 how  
do some among you say that there is no  
resurrection of the dead8    #ae3ac4    
,but if there be no resurrection of the 
dead1 then ,christ is not  risen again4 
#ae3ad4 ,and if ,christ be not risen    
again1 then is our preaching vain3 and  
your faith is also vain4    #ae3ae4     
,yea1 and we are found false witnesses  
of ,god3 because we have  given         
testimony against ,god1 that he hath    
raised up ,christ1 whom he hath  not    
raised up1 if the dead rise not again4  
#ae3af4 ,for if the dead rise not again1
 neither is ,christ risen again4        
#ae3ag4 ,and if ,christ be not risen    
again1 your faith is vain3 for you are  
yet in your sins4    #ae3ah4 ,then they 
also that are fallen asleep in ,christ  
are perished4    #ae3ai4 ,if in this    

life only we have hope in ,christ1 we   
are of all men  most miserable4         
#ae3bj4 ,but now ,christ is risen from  
the dead1 the firstfruits of them  that 
sleep3    #ae3ba4 ,for by a man came    
death3 and by a man the resurrection of 
the  dead4    #ae3bb4 ,and as in ,adam  
all die1 so also in ,christ all shall be
 made  alive4    #ae3bc4 ,but every one 
in his own order3 the firstfruits1      
,christ3 then  they that are of ,christ1
 who have believed in his coming4       
#ae3bd4 ,afterwards the end3 when he    
shall have delivered up the kingdom  to 
,god and the ,father3 when he shall have
 brought to nought all  principality and
 power and virtue4    #ae3be4 ,for he   
must reign1 until he hath put all his   
enemies under his  feet4    #ae3bf4 ,and
 the enemy1 death1 shall be destroyed   
last3 ,for he hath put  all things under
 his feet4 ,and whereas he saith3       
#ae3bg4 ,all things are put under him2  
undoubtedly1 he is excepted1 who  put   
all things under him4    #ae3bh4 ,and   

when all things shall be subdued unto   
him1 then the ,son also  himself shall  
be subject unto him that put all things 
under him1 that  ,god may be all in all4
    ,the ,son also himself shall be     
subject unto him444 ,that is1 the ,son  
will  be subject to the ,father1        
according to his human nature1 even     
after the  general resurrection2 and    
also the whole mystical body of ,christ 
will be  entirely subject to ,god1      
obeying him in every thing4    #ae3bi4  
,otherwise1 what shall they do that are 
baptized for the dead1 if  the dead rise
 not again at all8 ,why are they then   
baptized for them8    ,that are baptized
 for the dead444 ,some think the apostle
 here alludes to  a ceremony then in    
use2 but others1 more probably1 to the  
prayers and  penitential labours1       
performed by the primitive ,christians  
for the souls  of the faithful departed2
 or to the baptism of afflictions and   
sufferings undergone for sinners        
spiritually dead4    #ae3cj4 ,why also  

are we in danger every hour8    #ae3ca4 
,i die daily1 ,i protest by your glory1 
brethren1 which ,i have in  ,christ     
,jesus our ,lord4    #ae3cb4 ,if        
7according to man7 ,i fought with beasts
 at ,ephesus1 what doth  it profit me1  
if the dead rise not again8 ,let us eat 
and drink1 for to  morrow we shall die4 
,let us eat and drink1 etc444 ,that is1 
if we did not believe that we were  to  
rise again from the dead1 we might live 
like the impious and wicked1  who have  
no belief in the resurrection4          
#ae3cc4 ,be not seduced3 ,evil          
communications corrupt good manners4    
#ae3cd4 ,awake1 ye just1 and sin not4   
,for some have not the knowledge of     
,god4 ,i speak it to your shame4        
#ae3ce4 ,but some man will say3 ,how do 
the dead rise again8 ,or with what      
manner of body shall they come8         
#ae3cf4 ,senseless man1 that which thou 
sowest is not quickened1 except it  die 
first4    #ae3cg4 ,and that which thou  
sowest1 thou sowest not the body that   

shall  be3 but bare grain1 as of wheat1 
or of some of the rest4    #ae3ch4 ,but 
,god giveth it a body as he will3 and to
 every seed its proper  body4    #ae3ci4
 ,all flesh is not the same flesh3 but  
one is the flesh of men1  another of    
beasts1 other of birds1 another of      
fishes4    #ae3dj4 ,and there are bodies
 celestial and bodies terrestrial3 but1 
one  is the glory of the celestial1 and 
another of the terrestrial4    #ae3da4  
,one is the glory of the sun1 another   
the glory of the moon1 and  another the 
glory of the stars4 ,for star differeth 
from star in glory4    #ae3db4 ,so also 
is the resurrection of the dead4 ,it is 
sown in  corruption3 it shall rise in   
incorruption4    #ae3dc4 ,it is sown in 
dishonour3 it shall rise in glory4 ,it  
is sown in  weakness3 it shall rise in  
power4    #ae3dd4 ,it is sown a natural 
body3 it shall rise a spiritual body4   
,if  there be a natural body1 there is  
also a spiritual body1 as it is         
written3    #ae3de4 ,the first man ,adam

 was made into a living soul2 the last  
,adam  into a quickening spirit4        
#ae3df4 ,yet that was not first which is
 spiritual1 but that which is  natural3 
afterwards that which is spiritual4     
#ae3dg4 ,the first man was of the earth1
 earthly3 the second man1 from  heaven1 
heavenly4    #ae3dh4 ,such as is the    
earthly1 such also are the earthly3 and 
such as is  the heavenly1 such also are 
they that are heavenly4    #ae3di4      
,therefore1 as we have borne the image  
of the earthly1 let us bear  also the   
image of the heavenly4    #ae3ej4 ,now  
this ,i say1 brethren1 that flesh and   
blood cannot possess the  kingdom of    
,god3 neither shall corruption possess  
incorruption4    #ae3ea4 ,behold1 ,i    
tell you a mystery4 ,we shall all indeed
 rise again3 but  we shall not all be   
changed4    #ae3eb4 ,in a moment1 in the
 twinkling of an eye1 at the last       
trumpet3 for  the trumpet shall sound   
and the dead shall rise again           
incorruptible4 ,and  we shall be        

changed4    #ae3ec4 ,for this           
corruptible must put on incorruption3   
and this mortal  must put on            
immortality4    #ae3ed4 ,and when this  
mortal hath put on immortality1 then    
shall come to  pass the saying that is  
written3 ,death is swallowed up in      
victory4    #ae3ee4 ,o death1 where is  
thy victory8 ,o death1 where is thy     
sting8    #ae3ef4 ,now the sting of     
death is sin3 and the power of sin is   
the law4    #ae3eg4 ,but thanks be to   
,god1 who hath given us the victory     
through our  ,lord ,jesus ,christ4      
#ae3eh4 ,therefore1 my beloved brethren1
 be ye steadfast and unmoveable3  always
 abounding in the work of the ,lord1    
knowing that your labour is  not in vain
 in the ,lord4    #a ,corinthians       
,chapter #af    ,of collection of alms4 
,admonitions and salutations4    #af3a4 
,now concerning the collections that are
 made for the saints3 as ,i  have given 
order to the churches of ,galatia1 so do
 ye also4    #af3b4 ,on the first day of

 the week1 let every one of you put     
apart with  himself1 laying up what it  
shall well please him3 that when ,i     
come1 the  collections be not then to be
 made4    #af3c4 ,and when ,i shall be  
with you1 whomsoever you shall approve  
by  letters1 them will ,i send to carry 
your grace to ,jerusalem4    #af3d4 ,and
 if it be meet that ,i also go1 they    
shall go with me4    #af3e4 ,now ,i will
 come to you1 when ,i shall have passed 
through  ,macedonia4 ,for ,i shall pass 
through ,macedonia4    #af3f4 ,and with 
you perhaps ,i shall abide1 or even     
spend the winter3 that  you may bring me
 on my way whithersoever ,i shall go4   
#af3g4 ,for ,i will not see you now by  
the way3 for ,i trust that ,i shall     
abide with you some time1 if the ,lord  
permit4    #af3h4 ,but ,i will tarry at 
,ephesus1 until ,pentecost4    #af3i4   
,for a great door and evident is opened 
unto me3 and many  adversaries4         
#af3aj4 ,now if ,timothy come1 see that 
he be with you without fear3 for he     

worketh the work of the ,lord1 as ,i    
also do4    #af3aa4 ,let no man         
therefore despise him3 but conduct ye   
him on his way  in peace1 that he may   
come to me4 ,for ,i look for him with   
the brethren4    #af3ab4 ,and touching  
our brother ,apollo1 ,i give you to     
understand that ,i  much entreated him  
to come unto you with the brethren3 and 
indeed it was  not his will at all to   
come at this time4 ,but he will come    
when he shall  have leisure4    #af3ac4 
,watch ye3 stand fast in the faith3 do  
manfully and be  strengthened4          
#af3ad4 ,let all your things be done in 
charity4    #af3ae4 ,and ,i beseech you1
 brethren1 you know the house of        
,stephanus1 and  of ,fortunatus1 and of 
,achaicus1 that they are the firstfruits
 of ,achaia1  and have dedicated        
themselves to the ministry of the       
saints3    #af3af4 ,that you also be    
subject to such and to every one that   
worketh  with us and laboureth4         
#af3ag4 ,and ,i rejoice in the presence 

of ,stephanus and ,fortunatus and       
,achaicus3 because that which was       
wanting on your part1 they have         
supplied4    #af3ah4 ,for they have     
refreshed both my spirit and yours4     
,know them1  therefore1 that are such4  
#af3ai4 ,the churches of ,asia salute   
you4 ,aquila and ,priscilla salute you  
much in the ,lord1 with the church that 
is in their house1 with whom ,i  also   
lodge4    #af3bj4 ,all the brethren     
salute you4 ,salute one another with a  
holy kiss4    #af3ba4 ,the salutation of
 me ,paul1 with my own hand4    #af3bb4 
,if any man love not our ,lord ,jesus   
,christ1 let him be anathema1           
maranatha4    ,let him be anathema1     
maranatha444 ,anathema signifies here a 
thing  accursed4 ,maran-atha1 which1    
according to ,st4 ,jerome and ,st4      
,chrysostom1  signify1 ,the ,lord is    
come' already1 and therefore is to be   
taken as an  admonition to those who    
doubted of the resurrection1 and to put 
them in  mind that ,christ1 the judge of

 the living and the dead1 is come       
already4  ,others explain ,maran-atha3  
,may our ,lord come'1 that is1 to judge 
and  punish those with exemplary        
judgments and punishments1 that do not  
love  the ,lord ,jesus ,christ4         
#af3bc4 ,the grace of our ,lord ,jesus  
,christ be with you4    #af3bd4 ,my     
charity be with you all in ,christ
