mnt - 1Corinthians:10-13

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.
