mnt - 1Corinthians:1:18-2

mnt@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For thus it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the philosophers, And the prudence of the prudent will I confound.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Sage, rabbi, skeptic of this present age - where are they all? Has not God made foolish the philosophy of the world?

mnt@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:22 @ Jews continue to ask for miracles and Greeks are ever wanting philosophy,

mnt@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we come preaching a crucified Messiah - to Jews a stumbling- block, to Greeks foolishness,

mnt@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:25 @ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your own calling, brothers, that not many wise in earthly wisdom, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, have been called.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:27 @ No, God has chosen the worlds folly to confound its philosophy; and the worlds weakness to confound its strength.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:28 @ The worlds base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are;

mnt@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no mortal man should glory in his presence.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

mnt@1Corinthians:1:31 @ so that as Scripture says, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I would not have you ignorant, brothers, how our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

mnt@1Corinthians:10:2 @ and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:3 @ They all ate of the same spiritual bread,

mnt@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank from the same spiritual stream, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But in most of them God was not well pleased, for they were laid low in the desert.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now this happened as a warning for us, that we might not long for evil things as they longed.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And you must not be idolaters like some of them. as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, And they rose up for idol dances.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor must we act licentiously, as some of them did, and fell in a single day, twenty-three thousand of them.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Neither must we presume upon the patience of our Lord, as some of them presumed, and were destroyed by the serpents;

mnt@1Corinthians:10:10 @ nor murmur, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the Destroying Angel.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things were happening to them typically, but were written down for our admonition who stand at the meeting of the ages.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:12 @ So then let him who imagines that he is standing so securely beware lest he fall.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you that is beyond mans power; but God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will, with every temptation, provide the way of escape also, so that you may be able to withstand.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:14 @ So then, my beloved, continually flee from idolatry.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I am speaking to men of sense; do you yourselves judge what I say.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:16 @ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a common participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a common participation in the body of Christ?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Because we who are many are one bread, one body, for we all do share in the one loaf.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Look at Israel according to the flesh; are not those who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What then shall we say? that an offering to an idol is anything? or that an idol is really anything?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:20 @ On the contrary, what the heathen sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have communion with demons.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and also the cup of demons; you cannot be partakers in the Lords table and in the table of demons.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:22 @ What! would we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:23 @ "All things are lawful," you say? But not all things are expedient; "all things are lawful"; but not all build up.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let not each one be always seeking his own, but rather his neighbors good.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat anything that is for sale in the markets, asking no questions for conscience sake;

mnt@1Corinthians:10:26 @ for the earth and its fulness are the Lords.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one who is not a believer invites you to his house, and you wish to go, eat everything that is set before you, without asking questions for conscience sake.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice," do not eat it, for the sake of him who told you,

mnt@1Corinthians:10:29 @ and for your conscience sake - his conscience, not your own. "But," you may object, "why should my freedom be decided upon anothers scruples of conscience?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I eat after giving thanks, why am I denounced for eating that for which I have given thanks?"

mnt@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Because whether you are eating or whether you are drinking, you are to do it all for the glory of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Do not be a cause of stumbling either to Jews of to Gentiles, or to the church of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:33 @ For so I also try to please all men in every way, not by seeking my own good, but the good of the many, that they may be saved.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am an imitator of Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Indeed I praise you for remembering me in everything, and because you are holding fast to the traditions just as you received them.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Every man who prays or prophesies with head veiled dishonors his Head;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:5 @ but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head (her husband). for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:6 @ If a woman does not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair; now if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her be veiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:7 @ A man, indeed, ought not to have his head veiled, for he is an image and glory of God; but woman is a glory of man.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For it is not man who was made from woman, but woman was made from man.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:9 @ And man was not created for woman, but woman for man.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:10 @ For this reason the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of her guardian angels.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:11 @ However, in the Lord neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:12 @ for just as the woman was made from the man, so also is the man born of the woman, while they both come from God.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge of this for your own selves. It is fitting that a woman should pray to God with her head unveiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Nor does nature itself teach you that it is a disgrace to a man to have long hair,

mnt@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but it is womans glory, because her hair has been given her instead of a veil.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If, however, any one is inclined to be disputatious regarding such a custom, let him know that neither I nor the churches of God hold to such a custom.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But in giving you the following instructions, I cannot praise you; your solemn assemblies do more harm than good.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:18 @ To begin with, I am told - and I believe there is some truth in it - that when you meet at a church there are divisions among you.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must needs be also parties among you, in order that the good may be tested and made known.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Again, when you meet together, there is no true eating of the Lords Supper;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for each one of you begins to eat his own supper; one goes hungry, while another gets drunk.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! Have you no houses in which to eat or drink? or do you wish to show your contempt for the church of God, and to shame those who have no homes to eat in? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I certainly do not praise you.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I passed on to you the account, which I myself received from the Lord; how the Lord Jesus, on the very night he was betrayed, took bread,

mnt@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when he had given thanks, he broke it, saying, "This is my body, broken for you; this do in memory of me."

mnt@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way also, he took the cup after supper, saying. "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in memory of me."

mnt@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are proclaiming your Lords death until he come.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:27 @ So he that eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthy must answer for a sin against the body and blood of the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:28 @ Let each man scrutinize himself, and thus let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For whoever eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks condemnation to himself.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:30 @ This is why many among you are feeble and sickly, and many sleep.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:31 @ If however, we were judging ourselves aright, we should not now be condemned;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:32 @ but through our condemnation by the Lord, we are trained so that we may not be condemned;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So, my brothers, whenever you come together for this meal, wait for one another.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, so that your meetings do not bring condemnation upon you. The other matters I will adjust when I come.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were heathen you went astray after dumb idols, wherever he be led.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Wherefore I want you to understand that no one who speaks in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:4 @ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:5 @ there are various forms of service, and the same Lord;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:6 @ and varieties of work, and the same God, who works in all.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:7 @ Now to each man has been given his manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:8 @ For to one man by the Spirit has been given a word of wisdom, to another a word of insight by the same Spirit;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to one man by the same Spirit is given faith, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the powers which work miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But the one and the same Spirit gives power to all, distributing his gifts to each as he wills.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, although they be many, are one body; so also is Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:13 @ And we can see this, for in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jew or Gentile, whether slave or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body is not one member, but many.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, "Because I am a hand, I am not part a part the body," would it not indeed be a part of the body?

mnt@1Corinthians:12:16 @ Or if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," would it be any less a part of the body?

mnt@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where were hearing? If all were hearing, where were smelling?

mnt@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as it has pleased him.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If all were one member, where would the body be?

mnt@1Corinthians:12:20 @ But now there are many members, but one body.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you". nor again of head to the feet, "I have no need for you."

mnt@1Corinthians:12:22 @ On the contrary, we need those members of the body which seem to be weaker;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:23 @ upon those parts of the body which we esteem less honorable, we bestow more abundant honor, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:24 @ For whereas our comely parts have no need, God has tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that member in which lacked;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there should be no disunion in the body, but that members mutual care for one another.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:26 @ When one member suffers, all the others suffer with it; and when one member is honored, all the members are glad with it.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed those in the church to be first of all apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers. then workers of miracles, healers, helpers, administrators, users of various kinds of "tongues."

mnt@1Corinthians:12:29 @ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? teachers? workers of miracles?

mnt@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Have all gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

mnt@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Desire earnestly the greater gifts. And yet I will go on to show you a still more excellent way.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:1 @ Though I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am become a clanging brass, or a clashing cymbal.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:2 @ Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And though I sell all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it avails me nothing.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love makes no parade, is not puffed up,

mnt@1Corinthians:13:5 @ is not rude, nor selfish, nor easily provoked. Love bears no malice, never rejoices over wrong-doing,

mnt@1Corinthians:13:6 @ but rejoices when the truth rejoices.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:7 @ It knows how to be silent, it is trustful, hopeful, patient, enduring.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails; but though there are prophecies, they will fail; though there are tongues, they will cease; though there is knowledge, it will be superseded.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For our knowing is imperfect, and our prophesying is imperfect;

mnt@1Corinthians:13:10 @ but when the perfect is come, then the perfect will be done away.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child I spoke like a child, felt like a child, thought like a child; now that I am become a man, I have done with childish things.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see as in a mirror, and are baffled, but then face to face; now I know in fragments, but then shall I understand even as I also have been understood.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:13 @ Faith, Hope, Love endure - these three; but the greatest of these is Love.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Hotly pursue this love, yet seek earnestly spiritual gifts, and chiefly that you may prophesy.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he who speaks in a "tongue" speaks not to man but to God, for no one understands him, but in the Spirit he utters secret truths.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he who prophesies addresses words to men that build up, encourage, and console.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:4 @ He who speaks in a tongue upbuilds himself; but he who prophesies upbuilds the church.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:5 @ Now I should like you all to speak with "tongues"; but I should rather that you prophesied, For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be built up.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:6 @ Now brothers, if I should come to you speaking with tongues, what should I benefit you, unless I speak to you some revelation, or knowledge, or prophecy, or teaching?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:7 @ For if lifeless instruments such as the flute or the harp give no distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is fluted or harped?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:8 @ Or, for example, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, what soldier will be prepared for battle?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:9 @ In the same way with you, if you utter unintelligible words with your tongue, how can what you say be understood? You will be speaking to the winds!

mnt@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are, let us say, so many languages in the world, and none without its meaning.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I do not know the force of expression, I shall seem a barbarian to the one who uses it, and he will seem a barbarian to me.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So also in your case, since you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them for the upbuilding of the church.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:13 @ So let him who speaks with tongues pray that he may interpret.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:14 @ For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is barren.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What then? I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray also with my mind. I will praise God with my spirit, but I will praise him with my mind, also.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:16 @ For if you in your spirit bless God, how shall he who fills the place of the unlearned say the Amen to your thanksgiving, when he does not know what you are talking about?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:17 @ You on the one hand offer a good thanksgiving, but the other is not built up.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:18 @ Thank God I speak with tongues more than you all,

mnt@1Corinthians:14:19 @ but in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, so as to instruct others, than ten thousand in an unknown tongue.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brothers, do not become children in understanding; be babes in malice, but in understanding become mature men.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the Law it is written. With men of other tongues, and by the lips of strangers, will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:22 @ So then the gift of tongues is for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Accordingly, when the whole church assemblies, and everybody is speaking "with tongues," if there enter men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that you are mad?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But if all are prophesying when an unlearned or unbelieving man enters, he is convicted in conscience by your speaker, he feels himself judged by all,

mnt@1Corinthians:14:25 @ and the secret depths of his heart are laid open. So he will fall upon his face and worship God, saying, "Of a truth, God is with you."

mnt@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What follows, then, brothers? Whenever you meet together, each contributes something; a psalm, a sermon, a revelation, a tongue, an interpretation. Let all be done for edification.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any one speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that in turn, and let some one interpret.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:28 @ But if there is no one to interpret, let them keep silence in the church, and speak to themselves and to God.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:29 @ Let the prophets speak by two or three, and let the others exercise their judgment.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:30 @ But if to one as he sits there some revelation is made, let the first be silent.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one; so that all may be learning, and all may be encouraged.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:32 @ The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets,

mnt@1Corinthians:14:33 @ for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. This custom prevails in all the churches of the saints.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:34 @ "In your congregation" you write, "as in all the churches of the saints, let the women keep silence in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. On the contrary let them be subordinate, as also says the law.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:35 @ And if they want to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a women to speak in church."

mnt@1Corinthians:14:36 @ What, was it from you that the word of God went forth, or to you only did it come?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I am now writing you is a command of the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:38 @ But if any one disregard it he will be disregarded.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So, my brothers, be ambitious for the gift of prophecy, and speak not against the gifts of tongues.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:40 @ Let everything be done decently and in order.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Now I am calling to your remembrance, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you have taken your stand,;47 The first man is of the earth, earthly; the second Man is of heaven.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which also you are saved, if you are holding fast the message which I preached to you; unless indeed you have believed in vain.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For the very first thing I taught you was that I had myself been taught, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture,

mnt@1Corinthians:15:4 @ that he was buried, and that he was raised the third day, according to the Scriptures,

mnt@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and was seen by Cephas, and then by the Twelve.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:6 @ Afterward he was seen at one time by more than five hundred brethren, most of whom are still alive, but some are fallen asleep.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:7 @ Then he was seen by James, then by all the apostles,

mnt@1Corinthians:15:8 @ and last of all, as by one born out of due time, he was seen by me also.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, I who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and that grace of his, bestowed upon me, did not prove ineffectual. I labored more abundantly than all the rest, yet not I, but by the grace of God that is with me.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:11 @ But whether it is I or they, thus do I preach, and thus you came to believe.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:12 @ If then, we are preaching Christ, that he rose from the dead, how are some of you saying that there is no resurrection from the dead?

mnt@1Corinthians:15:13 @ But if there is no resurrection from the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;

mnt@1Corinthians:15:14 @ and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, and vain also is your faith.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:15 @ More than that, we are detected in bearing false witness against God; because we testified of God that he raised Christ from the dead, whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead rise not.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead rise not, neither has Christ arisen;

mnt@1Corinthians:15:17 @ and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain, you are still in your sins.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:18 @ More than that, those who are sleeping in Christ have perished.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all mankind most pitiable.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now, now, Christ is risen from the dead, the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For since by man came to death, by man came also the resurrection from the dead.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each in his own order; Christ the first-fruits, then those who belong to Christ at his appearing.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:24 @ And then the end, when he shall hand over his kingdom to God his Father, after he has abolished all rule and authority and power.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For he must rule until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy that will be destroyed is Death.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:27 @ For He hast put all things under his feet, but in that quotation All things are put under him, it is evident that God is excepted, who put all things under Him.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:28 @ For when everything is subjected to him, then the Son himself shall subject himself to Him who made them subject, that God may be all in all.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are really not raised, why are they baptized for them?

mnt@1Corinthians:15:30 @ Yes, and why am I myself exposed to danger every hour?

mnt@1Corinthians:15:31 @ Every day I am facing death, my brothers, I affirm it by that pride in you which I have through Christ Jesus our Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what good does it do me? If the dead do not rise, Let us eat and drink, For we shall be dead tomorrow.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Do not deceive yourselves. Evil companions ruin good morals.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Wake up, do justly, cease from sin; for I say to your shame that some of you have no acquaintance with God.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will ask. "How are the dead raised? and with what body are they coming?"

mnt@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Foolish man! The seed you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And when you sow the seed you are not sowing the body that it will become, but bare grain, of wheat perhaps, or some other grain.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it what body he pleases, and to each kind of seed its own body.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same flesh; there is human flesh, another of fishes of animals, another of birds, another of fishes.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are both celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial; but the splendor of the celestial is one thing, and the splendor of the terrestrial is another.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So it is in the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, It is raised in incorruption;

mnt@1Corinthians:15:43 @ Sown in weakness, It is raised in power;

mnt@1Corinthians:15:44 @ The body sown is animal The body is raised is spiritual. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:45 @ Thus it is written. The first man, Adam, became a living being, the last Adam, a life-giving Spirit.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:46 @ Now it is not the spiritual which is first, but the animal, and then the spiritual.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:48 @ Like him who was of earth, are the earthy; and like Him who is of heaven, are the heavenly;

mnt@1Corinthians:15:49 @ As we have borne the likeness of him who was of earth, so also let us bear the likeness of Him who is of heaven.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:50 @ I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor can corruption inherit incorruption.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Lo, I tell you a secret truth. we shall not all be sleeping, but we shall be changed,

mnt@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised, incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For this corruptible must be clothed with incorruption, and this mortal must be clothed with immortality.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:54 @ And when this mortal has been clothed with immortality, then will the words of Scripture come to pass, Death has been swallowed up in victory.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:55 @ Where, Death, is thy victory? Where, Death, is thy sting?

mnt@1Corinthians:15:56 @ Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:58 @ So, my brothers beloved, stand firm, immovable, always abounding in work for the Lord, because you know that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the offering for the saints, you also are to do as I directed the church of Galatia.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of each week let each of you put aside something, keeping it in store as he may prosper, so that when I come there may be no collections going on.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:3 @ On my arrival I will send those whom you may accredit by letter to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:4 @ And if it is worth while for me to go too, they will accompany me.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:5 @ Now I shall come to you after I have gone through Macedonia.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:6 @ I shall remain some time with you; possibly spending the winter, in order that you may help me forward in whatever journey I take.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not wish at this present time to see you merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:8 @ I am staying for the present in Ephesus, until Pentecost;

mnt@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a door has opened to me, great and effectual, and the opponents are many.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lords work, as I am, so let no one disparage him.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Whenever he comes to me, send him on his way in peace, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:14 @ Let all that you do be done in love.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I beg you this, my brothers - you know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints -

mnt@1Corinthians:16:16 @ so I want you also to show deference to such, and to every fellow worker, and laborer.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I am glad that Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:18 @ They refresh my spirit as they do yours. So cultivate the acquaintance of such men.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla (Prisca), with the church that meets in their house, greet you heartily in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brothers send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:21 @ The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If any one does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord is coming.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:23 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:24 @ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
