with words which the Holy Ghost teacheth, judging spiritual things spiritually.

But the natural man heareth not of the Spirit of God: it is foolishness unto him, and he cannot know it: for it must be spiritually directed.

But the minister judgeth all things, and is judged of none.

For who hath known the mind of the LORD, or who will instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
(1 Corinthians)
Chapter 3
Teachers are servants, Tillers and builders. The Lord and basis of salvation is Christ.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

Milk have I given you to drink, and not meat: for ye could not yet; neither can ye yet, 3. While ye are yet carnal. For since there is zeal and strife and dissension among you, are ye not carnal, and walk after the manner of men?

For if one saith, I am Paul, and another saith, I am Apollos, are ye not carnal?

Who then is Paul? Who is Apollo? Servants are they by whom ye believed, and the same as the Lord hath given to every one.

I planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the flourishing.

Now therefore neither he that planteth, nor he that watereth, is any thing, but GOD that giveth prosperity.

But he that planteth, and he that watereth, is one like another. But every man shall receive his reward according to his work.

for we are God’s co-workers; you are God’s field and God’s building.

I of the grace of God, which am given unto me, have laid the foundation, as a wise master builder; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man see how he buildeth thereon.

For no other foundation can any man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

But if any man build upon this foundation gold, or silver, or precious stones, or wood, or hay, or stubble,

Then shall every man’s work be made manifest: the day shall make it plain. For it shall be revealed by fire: and whatsoever work any man doeth, the fire shall prove it.

If any man’s work remain, which he hath built upon it, he shall receive reward.

But if any man’s work be burned, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, as by fire.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If any man destroy the temple of God, God will destroy him: for the temple of God is holy: ye are the temple of God.

Let no man deceive himself. Whosoever among you shall think himself wise, let him be a fool in this world, that he may be wise.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: He exalteth the wise in their prudence.

And again, The LORD knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

Therefore let no man boast! It is all yours,

Whether it be Paul or Apollos, whether it be Cephas or the world, whether it be life or death, whether it be things present or things to come: all things are yours.

But ye are Christ’s; but Christ is God’s.
(1 Corinthians)
Chapter 4

For this reason let everyone consider us, namely, Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.

Now seek no more in the stewards, but that they be found faithful.

But it is nothing to me that I should be judged of you, or that I should be judged of any man’s day: neither do I judge myself.

I am conscious of nothing, but in this I am not justified: but it is the LORD that judgeth me.

Therefore judge not before the time, until the LORD come, who also shall bring to light that which is hid in darkness, and shall make manifest the counsel of the heart: and then shall praise be to every one from GOD.

Now these things, brethren, I have signified unto myself and unto Apollos for your sakes, that ye may learn of us, that no man thinketh more highly of himself than is now written, lest one puff himself up against another for any man’s sake.

For who hath preferred thee? And what hast thou that thou hast not received? But if thou hast received it, why dost thou glory in it, as if thou hadst not received it?

Ye have been filled already; ye have been made rich already; ye reign without us. And God would have you reign, that we also might reign with you.

But I hold that God hath presented us apostles as the very least, delivered unto death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ: we are weak, but ye are strong: ye are glorious, but we are despised.

Unto this hour we hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are beaten, and have no certain place.

And we work and labour with our own hands. We are reproached, but we bless; we are persecuted, but we endure; we are blasphemed, but we beseech.

we are always as a curse of the world and a fegopfer of all people.

I write not these things to reproach you, but to exhort you as my dear children.

For though ye have ten thousand taskmasters in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers. For I have begotten you in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Therefore I exhort you, Be ye followers of me.

For the same cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my dear and faithful son in the Lord, that he should remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach in all places in all churches.

There are some that puff themselves up, as if I would not come unto you.

But I will come unto you very lately, if the LORD will; and learn not the words of the puffed-up, but the power.

For the kingdom of God is not in words, but in power.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with the rod, or with love and a gentle spirit?
(1 Corinthians)
Chapter 5

There is a common cry that fornication is among you, and such fornication as the heathen know not how to say, that one hath his father’s wife.

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather borne affliction, that he that did the work might be done by you.

I indeed, being absent in body, but present in spirit, have already decided as present concerning him whom these things have done:

in the name of our Lord JEsu Christ, in your assembly with my Spirit and with the power of our Lord JEsu Christ.

To deliver him up unto Satan to the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit might be saved in the day of JESUS the LORD.

your glory is not fine. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

Therefore purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new dough, even as ye are unleavened.
For we also have a paschal lamb, which is Christ, sacrificed for us.

Let us therefore keep the passover, not in the old leaven, neither in the leaven of malice and wickedness, but in the sweet dough of sincerity and truth.

I wrote unto you in the epistle, that ye should have nothing to do with harlots.

This I mean not at all of the harlots of this world, or of the covetous, or of the robbers, or of the idolaters; otherwise ye must leave the world.

But now I have written unto you, that ye should have nothing to do with them: for if any man be called a brother, and be a whoremonger, or a covetous man, or an idolater, or a profane man, or a drunkard, or a robber, with him ye shall not eat.

For what have I to do with them that are without, that I should judge them? Judge ye not them that are within?

But God shall judge them that are without. Put out from yourselves those who are evil!
(1 Corinthians)
Chapter 6

How is it that any of you, if he hath a bargain with another, should grieve before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? If then the world be judged of you, are ye not good enough to judge lesser things?

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more temporal goods!

But ye, when ye have matters of temporal goods, take them that are despised of the congregation, and set them for judges.

To your shame I must say this. Is there no wise man among you, or is there not one who can judge between brother and brother?

But one brother contendeth with another, and before the unbelievers.

It is already a fault among you, that ye reason one with another. Why would ye not rather be wronged? Why do ye not rather take advantage of one another?

But ye do wrong, and take advantage, and that to the brethren.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither the harlots, nor the idolaters, nor the adulterers, nor the wimps, nor the abusers of children.

Nor the thieves, nor the covetous, nor the drunkards, nor the blasphemers, nor the robbers, shall inherit the kingdom of GOD.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified by the name of JESUS the LORD, and by the Spirit of our GOD.

I have all power; but all is not good. I have all the power, but nothing shall take me captive.

The meat of the incense, and the belly of the meat: but God shall put to death both such and such.
