1 Corinthians 16:11 — 2 Corinthians 1:11

11 Let no one therefore ^adespise him, but ^bsend him forward in ^cpeace that he may come to me; for I am awaiting him with the brothers.

12 And ¹concerning our brother ^aApollos, ²I urged him many times to come to you with the brothers; yet it was ²not at all his desire to come now, but he ^bwill come when he has opportunity.

13 ^aWatch, ^1bstand firm in the ^2cfaith, be ^3dfull-grown men, be ^estrong.

14 Let all your matters be done in ^1alove.

15 Now I exhort you, brothers: You know the household of ^aStephanas, that it is the ^bfirstfruits of ^cAchaia, and they have set themselves to minister to the ^dsaints;

16 You also be ^asubject to such ones, and to everyone co-working and ^blaboring.

17 Now I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these have ^afilled up the lack caused by your absence;

18 For they ^1arefreshed my ^2bspirit and yours. ^cAcknowledge therefore such ones.

19 The ^achurches of ^bAsia greet you. ^cAquila and Prisca greet you much in the Lord, with the ¹church, which is in their ^dhouse.

20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy ^akiss.

21 ¹The greeting in my own ^ahand — Paul.

22 If anyone does not ^alove the Lord, let him be ^1baccursed! ²The ^cLord comes!

23 The ^1agrace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

24 My ^1alove in Christ Jesus be with you all.

CHAPTER 1

1 Paul, an ^aapostle of Christ Jesus through the ¹will of God, and ^bTimothy the brother, to the ^2cchurch of God which is ³in Corinth, ⁴with all the saints who are in the whole of ^5dAchaia:

2 ^aGrace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 ^aBlessed be the ^bGod and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of ¹compassions and God of all ^2ccomfort;

4 Who ^acomforts us in all our ^baffliction that we may be ¹able to comfort those who are in every affliction through the ^ccomforting with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 For even as the ^1asufferings of ²the Christ abound unto us, so through ²the Christ our comfort also abounds.

6 But whether we are ^aafflicted, it is for your comforting and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comforting, which operates in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

7 And our hope for you is firm, knowing that as you are partakers of the ^asufferings, so also you are of the comfort.

8 For we do not want you to be ^aignorant, brothers, of our affliction which befell us in ^bAsia, that we were excessively ^1cburdened, beyond ourpower, so that we ^2ddespaired even of ³living.

9 ¹Indeed we ourselves had the ²response of ^adeath in ourselves, that we should ^bnot base our ^cconfidence on ourselves but ^don ³God, who ^eraises the dead;

10 Who has ^adelivered us out of so great a death, and ¹will deliver us; in whom we have ^bhoped that He will also yet deliver us,

11 If you also ¹help in this by ^apetition on our behalf, that for the ²gift to us through many, ^bthanks may be given by many ³persons on our behalf.

1 Corinthians 15:45 — 1 Corinthians 16:10

45 So also it is written, “The first man, ^aAdam, became a ^bliving ¹soul”; the last Adam became a ^clife-giving ¹Spirit.

46 But ¹the spiritual is not first but ²the soulish, then the spiritual:

47 The first man is ¹out of the ^aearth, earthy; the ²second man is ³out of ^bheaven.

48 As ¹the earthy is, such are ²they also that are earthy; and as ³the heavenly is, such are ⁴they also that are ^aheavenly.

49 And even as we have borne the ^1aimage of the earthy, we will also bear the ^1bimage of the heavenly.

50 Now this I say, brothers, that ^1aflesh and blood cannot inherit the ^bkingdom of God, neither does ^ccorruption inherit ^dincorruption.

51 Behold, I tell you ^aa ¹mystery: We will not all ^2bsleep, but we will all be ^3cchanged,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the ¹last ^atrumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the ²dead will be ^braised incorruptible, and ³we will be changed.

53 For ¹this ^acorruptible must put on incorruption, and ¹this ^bmortal must put on immortality.

54 And ¹when this corruptible will put on incorruption and this mortal will put on immortality, then the word which is written will come to pass, ^a“Death has been ^bswallowed up ²unto ^3cvictory.”

55 ¹Where, ^aO death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your ^bsting?

56 The ¹sting of ^adeath is sin, and the ²power of ^bsin is the ^claw.

57 But ^athanks be to God who gives us the ^1bvictory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be ^1asteadfast, immovable, always abounding in the ^2bwork of the Lord, knowing that your ^3clabor is not ^din vain in the Lord.

CHAPTER 16

1 Now concerning the ^1acollection for the saints, ²just as I ^bdirected the ^cchurches of Galatia, so you also do.

2 On the ^1afirst day of the week each one of you should lay aside in store to himself whatever he may have been prospered, that no collections be made when I come.

3 And when I arrive, whomever you approve, I will ^asend them with letters to carry your ¹gift to ^bJerusalem;

4 And if it is fitting for me also to go, they will go with me.

5 Now I will ^acome to you when I pass through ^bMacedonia, for I will pass through Macedonia.

6 And perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the ^awinter, that you may ^bsend me forward wherever I may go.

7 For I do not wish to see you now just in ^apassing, for I am hoping to remain with you for some time, if the Lord ^bpermits.

8 But I will remain in ^1aEphesus until ^bPentecost,

9 For a ^adoor is opened to me, great and efficacious, and there are many ^bopposers.

10 Now if ^aTimothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; for he is working the ^bwork of the Lord, even as I am.

1 Corinthians 14:33 — 1 Corinthians 15:19

33 For God is not a God of ^aconfusion but of ¹peace. ²As in ^ball the ³churches of the ^csaints,

34 The ^awomen should be silent ^1bin the churches, for they are not permitted to ²speak; but they should be ^csubject, even as the ^3dlaw also says.

35 But if they desire to learn anything, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.

36 Or was it from you that the word of God went forth? Or ¹did it reach only to you?

37 If anyone thinks he is a ^1aprophet or ^bspiritual, let him fully know the things which I write to you, that they are the ^2ccommandment of the Lord.

38 But if anyone ^aignores this, let him ignore it.

39 So then, my brothers, ^1adesire earnestly the ^bprophesying, and ¹do not forbid the speaking in tongues.

40 But all things must be done ¹becomingly and in ^1aorder.

CHAPTER 15

1 Now I make known to you, brothers, the ^1agospel which I announced to you, which also you received, in which also you ^2bstand,

2 Through which also you are ¹being ^asaved, if you ^bhold fast the word which I announced to you as the gospel, unless you have believed ^cin vain.

3 For I delivered to you, first of all, that which also I ^areceived, that ¹Christ ^bdied for our ^csins according to the ^2dScriptures;

4 And that He was ^aburied, and that He has been ^braised on the ^cthird day according to the ^dScriptures;

5 And that He ¹appeared to ^aCephas, then to the ^btwelve;

6 Then He appeared to over five hundred brothers at one time, of whom the majority remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;

7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;

8 And last of all He appeared to ^ame also, as it were to one born prematurely.

9 For I am the ^aleast of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I ^bpersecuted the ^cchurch of God.

10 But by the ^1agrace of God I am what I am; and His ^bgrace unto me did not turn out to be ^cin vain, but, on the contrary, I ^dlabored more abundantly than all of them, yet ²not I but the grace of God which is with me.

11 Therefore whether it is I or they, so we preach and so you have believed.

12 But if Christ is proclaimed that He has been ^araised from the dead, how is it that some among you say that there is ¹no resurrection of the dead?

13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is ^1avain; your faith is ^1bvain also.

15 And also we are found to be false witnesses of God because we have testified concerning God that He ^araised Christ, whom He did not raise, if indeed the dead are not raised.

16 For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.

17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is ¹futile; you are ²still in your ^asins.

18 Then also those who have ^1afallen asleep in Christ have ²perished.

19 If it is ¹only that we have ^ahoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most miserable.

1 Corinthians 14:12 — 1 Corinthians 14:32

12 So also you, since you are zealous of ^1aspirits, seek that you may ²excel for the ^3bbuilding up of the church.

13 Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may ^ainterpret.

14 For if I pray in a tongue, my ^1aspirit prays, but my ^1bmind is unfruitful.

15 What then? I will pray with the ^aspirit, and I will pray ¹also ²with the mind; I will ^bsing with the spirit, and I will ^csing ¹also ²with the mind.

16 Otherwise if you ^abless with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the ¹unlearned in tongues say the ^2bAmen at your giving of ^cthanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

17 For you give thanks well, but the other is not ^1abuilt up.

18 I thank God, I speak in tongues more than all of you,

19 But in the church I would rather ^aspeak ¹five words ²with my mind, that I might instruct others also, than ¹ten thousand words in a tongue.

20 Brothers, do not be ^1achildren in your ²understanding, but in ^bmalice be ^cbabes and in your ²understanding be ^3dfull-grown.

21 In the ^1alaw it is written, ^2b“By those of other tongues and with the lips of others I will speak to this people; even so they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”

22 So then tongues are for a ¹sign, not to those who believe but to the unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign not to the unbelievers but to those who believe.

23 If therefore the whole church ^acomes together in one place, and ¹all speak in tongues, and some unlearned in tongues or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are ^2binsane?

24 But if ^1aall prophesy and some unbeliever or unlearned person enters, he is ²convicted by all, he is ²examined by all;

25 The secrets of his ^aheart become manifest; and so ^bfalling on his face, he will worship ¹God, declaring that indeed ¹God is ^camong you.

26 What then, brothers? Whenever you ^acome together, each one ¹has a ^bpsalm, has a ^cteaching, has a ^drevelation, has a ^etongue, has an ^finterpretation. Let all things be done for ^2gbuilding up.

27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by ^atwo, or at the most three, and in turn, and one should interpret;

28 But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent ^ain the ¹church, and speak to himself and to God.

29 And as to prophets, ^atwo or three should speak, and the others ^1bdiscern.

30 But if something is revealed to another sitting by, the first should be silent.

31 For ¹you can ^aall prophesy one by one that all may learn and all may be ²encouraged.

32 And the ^1aspirits of prophets are ^bsubject to prophets;
