Book 46 1 Corinthians46:001:001 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will 46:001:002 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are 46:001:003 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from 46:001:004 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God 46:001:005 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, 46:001:006 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 46:001:007 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of 46:001:008 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be 46:001:009 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of 46:001:010 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus 46:001:011 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them 46:001:012 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and 46:001:013 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye 46:001:014 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and 46:001:015 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 46:001:016 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I 46:001:017 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: 46:001:018 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish 46:001:019 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and 46:001:020 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer 46:001:021 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew 46:001:022 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 46:001:023 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a 46:001:024 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ 46:001:025 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the 46:001:026 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men 46:001:027 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to 46:001:028 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, 46:001:029 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 46:001:030 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us 46:001:031 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him 46:002:001 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency 46:002:002 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus 46:002:003 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much 46:002:004 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of 46:002:005 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in 46:002:006 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not 46:002:007 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden 46:002:008 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they 46:002:009 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, 46:002:010 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the 46:002:011 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of 46:002:012 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the 46:002:013 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's 46:002:014 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of 46:002:015 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is 46:002:016 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct 46:003:001 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, 46:003:002 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye 46:003:003 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, 46:003:004 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of 46:003:005 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye 46:003:006 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 46:003:007 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that 46:003:008 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every 46:003:009 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's 46:003:010 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a 46:003:011 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which 46:003:012 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, 46:003:013 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall 46:003:014 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he 46:003:015 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but 46:003:016 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit 46:003:017 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; 46:003:018 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be 46:003:019 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it 46:003:020 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that 46:003:021 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; 46:003:022 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or 46:003:023 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. 46:004:001 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and 46:004:002 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found 46:004:003 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged 46:004:004 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: 46:004:005 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, 46:004:006 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to 46:004:007 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou 46:004:008 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings 46:004:009 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as 46:004:010 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we 46:004:011 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and 46:004:012 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we 46:004:013 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the 46:004:014 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons 46:004:015 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet 46:004:016 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 46:004:017 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my 46:004:018 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. 46:004:019 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will 46:004:020 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 46:004:021 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, 46:005:001 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, 46:005:002 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he 46:005:003 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have 46:005:004 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered 46:005:005 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the 46:005:006 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven 46:005:007 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, 46:005:008 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither 46:005:009 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with 46:005:010 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with 46:005:011 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any 46:005:012 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do 46:005:013 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from 46:006:001 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law 46:006:002 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if 46:006:003 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things 46:006:004 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, 46:006:005 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man 46:006:006 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the 46:006:007 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye 46:006:008 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 46:006:009 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom 46:006:010 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor 46:006:011 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are 46:006:012 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not 46:006:013 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall 46:006:014 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up 46:006:015 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall 46:006:016 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one 46:006:017 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 46:006:018 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the 46:006:019 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy 46:006:020 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your 46:007:001 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good 46:007:002 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own 46:007:003 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and 46:007:004 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and 46:007:005 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a 46:007:006 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 46:007:007 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man 46:007:008 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for 46:007:009 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better 46:007:010 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let 46:007:011 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be 46:007:012 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a 46:007:013 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if 46:007:014 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the 46:007:015 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a 46:007:016 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy 46:007:017 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath 46:007:018 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become 46:007:019 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but 46:007:020 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. 46:007:021 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou 46:007:022 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the 46:007:023 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 46:007:024 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide 46:007:025 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet 46:007:026 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present 46:007:027 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou 46:007:028 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin 46:007:029 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, 46:007:030 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that 46:007:031 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the 46:007:032 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried 46:007:033 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the 46:007:034 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The 46:007:035 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a 46:007:036 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward 46:007:037 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no 46:007:038 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that 46:007:039 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; 46:007:040 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I 46:008:001 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all 46:008:002 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth 46:008:003 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 46:008:004 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are 46:008:005 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or 46:008:006 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all 46:008:007 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some 46:008:008 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are 46:008:009 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become 46:008:010 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in 46:008:011 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for 46:008:012 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak 46:008:013 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no 46:009:001 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus 46:009:002 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: 46:009:003 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this, 46:009:004 Have we not power to eat and to drink? 46:009:005 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as 46:009:006 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? 46:009:007 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth 46:009:008 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same 46:009:009 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle 46:009:010 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no 46:009:011 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing 46:009:012 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we 46:009:013 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live 46:009:014 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the 46:009:015 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written 46:009:016 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: 46:009:017 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if 46:009:018 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, 46:009:019 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself 46:009:020 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the 46:009:021 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not 46:009:022 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am 46:009:023 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker 46:009:024 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one 46:009:025 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in 46:009:026 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one 46:009:027 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest 46:010:001 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, 46:010:002 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 46:010:003 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 46:010:004 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of 46:010:005 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were 46:010:006 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should 46:010:007 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is 46:010:008 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, 46:010:009 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and 46:010:010 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were 46:010:011 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and 46:010:012 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he 46:010:013 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to 46:010:014 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 46:010:015 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 46:010:016 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of 46:010:017 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all 46:010:018 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the 46:010:019 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is 46:010:020 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they 46:010:021 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye 46:010:022 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 46:010:023 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not 46:010:024 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. 46:010:025 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no 46:010:026 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. 46:010:027 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be 46:010:028 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto 46:010:029 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is 46:010:030 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for 46:010:031 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do 46:010:032 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, 46:010:033 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own 46:011:001 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 46:011:002 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, 46:011:003 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is 46:011:004 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, 46:011:005 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head 46:011:006 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if 46:011:007 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he 46:011:008 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. 46:011:009 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for 46:011:010 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head 46:011:011 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the 46:011:012 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the 46:011:013 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God 46:011:014 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have 46:011:015 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her 46:011:016 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, 46:011:017 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye 46:011:018 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear 46:011:019 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are 46:011:020 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to 46:011:021 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: 46:011:022 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye 46:011:023 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered 46:011:024 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, 46:011:025 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had 46:011:026 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do 46:011:027 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup 46:011:028 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that 46:011:029 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and 46:011:030 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many 46:011:031 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 46:011:032 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we 46:011:033 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry 46:011:034 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not 46:012:001 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you 46:012:002 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb 46:012:003 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by 46:012:004 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 46:012:005 And there are differences of administrations, but the same 46:012:006 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same 46:012:007 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to 46:012:008 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to 46:012:009 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of 46:012:010 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to 46:012:011 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, 46:012:012 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the 46:012:013 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether 46:012:014 For the body is not one member, but many. 46:012:015 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of 46:012:016 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not 46:012:017 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the 46:012:018 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the 46:012:019 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 46:012:020 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 46:012:021 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: 46:012:022 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be 46:012:023 And those members of the body, which we think to be less 46:012:024 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the 46:012:025 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the 46:012:026 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; 46:012:027 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 46:012:028 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, 46:012:029 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all 46:012:030 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do 46:012:031 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a 46:013:001 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have 46:013:002 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all 46:013:003 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though 46:013:004 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; 46:013:005 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not 46:013:006 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 46:013:007 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, 46:013:008 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they 46:013:009 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 46:013:010 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in 46:013:011 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a 46:013:012 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: 46:013:013 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the 46:014:001 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather 46:014:002 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto 46:014:003 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and 46:014:004 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he 46:014:005 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye 46:014:006 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what 46:014:007 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or 46:014:008 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare 46:014:009 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be 46:014:010 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, 46:014:011 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be 46:014:012 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, 46:014:013 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that 46:014:014 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my 46:014:015 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray 46:014:016 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that 46:014:017 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not 46:014:018 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 46:014:019 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my 46:014:020 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice 46:014:021 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other 46:014:022 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, 46:014:023 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, 46:014:024 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, 46:014:025 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so 46:014:026 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of 46:014:027 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at 46:014:028 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the 46:014:029 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. 46:014:030 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the 46:014:031 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and 46:014:032 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 46:014:033 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in 46:014:034 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not 46:014:035 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands 46:014:036 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you 46:014:037 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let 46:014:038 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 46:014:039 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to 46:014:040 Let all things be done decently and in order. 46:015:001 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I 46:015:002 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I 46:015:003 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also 46:015:004 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day 46:015:005 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 46:015:006 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at 46:015:007 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 46:015:008 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of 46:015:009 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be 46:015:010 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which 46:015:011 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye 46:015:012 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say 46:015:013 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ 46:015:014 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and 46:015:015 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have 46:015:016 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 46:015:017 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in 46:015:018 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 46:015:019 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men 46:015:020 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the 46:015:021 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection 46:015:022 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made 46:015:023 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; 46:015:024 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the 46:015:025 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his 46:015:026 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 46:015:027 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith 46:015:028 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the 46:015:029 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if 46:015:030 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 46:015:031 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our 46:015:032 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at 46:015:033 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 46:015:034 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the 46:015:035 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with 46:015:036 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it 46:015:037 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that 46:015:038 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every 46:015:039 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of 46:015:040 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but 46:015:041 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, 46:015:042 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in 46:015:043 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in 46:015:044 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. 46:015:045 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living 46:015:046 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which 46:015:047 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the 46:015:048 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as 46:015:049 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also 46:015:050 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit 46:015:051 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we 46:015:052 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: 46:015:053 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal 46:015:054 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and 46:015:055 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 46:015:056 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 46:015:057 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our 46:015:058 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, 46:016:001 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given 46:016:002 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him 46:016:003 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, 46:016:004 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. 46:016:005 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: 46:016:006 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, 46:016:007 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a 46:016:008 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. 46:016:009 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there 46:016:010 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without 46:016:011 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in 46:016:012 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come 46:016:013 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be 46:016:014 Let all your things be done with charity. 46:016:015 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that 46:016:016 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that 46:016:017 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and 46:016:018 For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore 46:016:019 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute 46:016:020 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy 46:016:021 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. 46:016:022 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema 46:016:023 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 46:016:024 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.
Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.
Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg
These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.
Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
