rkjnt 1Corinthians:4-7
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:1 @ Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But with me it is a very small thing if I should be judged by you, or by any human court: in fact, I do not even judge my own self.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:4 @ For I know of nothing against myself; yet I am not by this justified: but he who judges me is the Lord.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore, judge nothing before the time; before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the things hidden in darkness, and will disclose the motives of the heart: and then every man shall have his praise from God.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:6 @ And these things, brethren, I have applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that through us you might learn not to go beyond that which is written, that none of you might become puffed up in favour of one against another.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who makes you superior to another? and what do you have that you did not receive? now if you did receive it, why do you boast, as if you had not received it?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:8 @ Already you are full, already you are rich, you have become as kings without us: and I would that you had become kings, that we might also reign with you.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For I think that God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as if we were condemned to death: for we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honoured, but we are despised.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:11 @ Even to this present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are ill-clothed, and are buffeted, and are homeless;
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:12 @ And we labour, working with our own hands: when reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure it:
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:13 @ When slandered, we answer kindly; we have been made the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even to this day.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore I urge you, be imitators of me.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and will find out, not the speech of those who are puffed up, but their power.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:20 @ For the kingdom of God does not consist of talk, but of power.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What do you wish? shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in a spirit of gentleness?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and such immorality as does not even occur among the Gentiles, that one of you has his father's wife.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up, and have not mourned instead. Let him who has done this deed be removed from among you.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I, though absent in body, am present in spirit, and have already judged him who has done this deed, just as though I were present.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are gathered together, with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:5 @ Deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Clean out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you really are unleavened. For Christ our passover has been sacrificed for us:
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in a letter not to keep company with the sexually immoral:
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:10 @ Not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the covetous, or swindlers, or idolaters; for then you would have to go out of the world.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I write to you not to keep company with any man who is called a brother if he is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an swindler; with such a one do not even eat.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what have I to do with judging those who are outside? are you not to judge those who are within?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:5:13 @ Those who are outside God judges. Put out from among yourselves the wicked person.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:1 @ Does any of you dare, if you have a dispute against another, to go to law before the ungodly, instead of before the saints?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have such disputes, set them before those who are least esteemed in the church.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I speak this to your shame. Can it be that there is not a wise man among you who shall be able to judge between his brethren?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:6 @ But brother goes to law against brother, and that before the unbelievers.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Now, it is utterly a defeat for you that you go to law one with another. Why do you not rather suffer the wrong? why do you not rather allow yourselves to be defrauded?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:8 @ Instead, you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and you do this to your brethren.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexual offenders,
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:10 @ Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:12 @ All things are lawful for me, but all things are not beneficial: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of anything.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Food is for the belly, and the belly for food: but God shall destroy both of them. The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:14 @ And God has raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his power.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a prostitute? Never.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? for the two, he says, shall become one flesh.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:17 @ But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside his body; but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God, and that you are not your own?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:6:20 @ For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:2 @ Nevertheless, to avoid impurity, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband fulfill his marital duty to his wife: and likewise the wife to the husband.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does: and likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, except by consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and then come together again, that Satan may not tempt you for your lack of self-control.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:6 @ But I speak this as a concession, and not as a commandment.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:7 @ For I wish that all men were as I am. But every man has his proper gift from God, one of this type, and another of that.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:8 @ Therefore I say to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them to remain single, as I am.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot contain themselves, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:10 @ And to the married I give this command, not I, but the Lord, Let the wife not depart from her husband:
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:11 @ But if she does depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let the husband not divorce his wife.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:12 @ But to the rest I say, not the Lord: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And the woman who has a husband who does not believe, and if he is willing to live with her, let her not leave him.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: otherwise your children would be unclean; but now are they holy.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving one departs, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: for God has called us to peace.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For how do you know, O wife, whether you shall save your husband? or how do you know, O man, whether you shall save your wife?
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But as the Lord has assigned to every man, as God has called every one, so let him walk. And this is my rule in all the churches.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was any man circumcised when he was called? let him not become uncircumcised. Was any uncircumcised when called? let him not be circumcised.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping of the commandments of God is what matters.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Let every man remain in the same situation in which he was called.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you called when a slave? do not let it trouble you: but if you may become free, do so.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For he who is called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman: likewise he who is called while free, is Christ's slave.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You were bought with a price; do not become the slaves of men.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Brethren, let every man, in whatever situation he was in when called, remain there with God.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning virgins I have no commandment from the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then, in view of the present distress, that it is good for a man to remain as he is.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Are you bound to a wife? do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? do not seek a wife.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless, those who marry shall have trouble in this life: and I seek to spare you.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren, the time is short: from now on let those who have wives be as though they had none;
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:30 @ And those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:31 @ And those who use this world, as though not engrossed in it: for the form of this world passes away.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:32 @ I would have you be without concern. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:33 @ But he who is married is concerned for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife,
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:34 @ And his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or the virgin cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she who is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:35 @ And this I speak for your own benefit; not to restrain you, but to promote that which is seemly, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:36 @ But if any man thinks that he is behaving improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, if she is passing the flower of her youth, and if need so requires, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin: let them marry.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:37 @ Nevertheless, he who stands steadfast in his heart, being under no compulsion, but having power over his own will, and having determined in his heart that he will keep his virginity, does well.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So then he who marries does well; but he who does not marry does better.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:39 @ The wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to marry whom she wishes; only in the Lord.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is: and I also think that I have the Spirit of God.
rkjnt@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now regarding things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
