prophesy one by one, that they may all learn, and that they may all be instructed.

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

for God is not a God of disorder, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Let your wives keep silence among the congregation: for it shall not be lawful for them to speak, but to be subject, as also saith the law.

But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. It is evil for women to speak among the congregation.

Or is the word of God come out from you, or is it come to you alone?

If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know what I write unto you: for they are the commandments of the LORD.

But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

Wherefore, brethren, be diligent to prophesy, and forbear not to speak with tongues.

Let everything be done honestly and properly!
(1 Corinthians)
Chapter 15

But I remind you, brethren, of the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, in the which also ye stand,

By which also ye are saved, which form I preached unto you, if ye have kept it, except ye have believed it in vain.

For I have given you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures, 5. And that he was seen of Cephas, and afterward of the twelve.

After this he was seen of more than five hundred brethren at one time, many of whom are yet alive, but some have fallen asleep.

After that he was seen of James, and after that of all the apostles.

At the last after all he was also seen of me, as of an untimely birth; 9. For I am the least of the apostles, as I am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

But by the grace of God am I that I am; and his grace toward me was not in vain, but I labored much more than they all: not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

Whether it be I or they, so preach we, and so have ye believed.

But if Christ be preached that he is risen from the dead, how say some of you that the resurrection of the dead is nothing?

But if the resurrection of the dead be nothing, neither is Christ risen.

But if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and so is your faith.

And we also are found false witnesses unto God, that we have testified against God, that he hath raised up Christ, whom he hath not raised up, because the dead rise not.

For if the dead rise not, neither is Christ risen.

But if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain, ye are yet in your sins, 18. So they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are lost.

If we hope in Christ alone in this life, we are the most miserable of all men.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that sleep, 21. For by a man cometh death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam they all die, even so in Christ shall they all be made alive.

But every man in his own order. The firstfruits Christ, after that they which are Christ’s, when he shall come.

After this the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God and to the Father, when he shall abolish all rule and all authority and power.

But he must reign, until he put all his enemies under his feet.

The last enemy to be lifted up is death.

For he hath put all things under his feet. And when he saith that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted that put all things under him.

And when all things shall be subject unto him, then shall the Son himself also be subject unto him that put all things under him, that GOD may be all in all.

What else do they that are baptized above the dead, if the dead rise not? Why are they baptized over the dead?

and what are we all hour in danger?

By the glory that I have in Christ our Lord, I die daily.

If I have fought with the wild beasts at Ephesus in the opinion of men, what shall it profit me if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall be dead.

Be not deceived! Evil gossip corrupts good morals.

Be ye yet once right sober, and sin not: for some know not of GOD, that ‡ I say unto you to shame.

But will any man say, How shall the dead rise, and with what kind of body shall they come?

Thou fool, what thou sowest shall not live, except it die.

And that which thou sowest is not the body which is to be, but a mere grain of wheat, or of another.

But God giveth him a body according to his will, and to every one of the seed his own body.

All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of man, and another of beast, and another of fish, and another of fowl.

And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But another glory have the heavenly, and another the earthly.

The sun hath another brightness, the moon another brightness, the stars another brightness: for one star excelleth another in brightness.

So also the resurrection of the dead. It is sown corruptible, and shall rise incorruptible.

It is sown in dishonour, and shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness, and shall rise in power.

A natural body is sown, and a spiritual body is raised. If one has a natural body, he also has a spiritual body,

As it is written, The first man Adam was made into the natural life, and the last Adam into the spiritual life.

But the spiritual body is not first, but the natural, afterward the spiritual.

The first man is of the earth, and earthy: the other man is the LORD from heaven.

As the earthly is, so are the earthly; and as the heavenly is, so are the heavenly.

And as we have borne the image of the earthly, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.

And of this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit. Nor shall that which is temporal inherit that which is incorruptible,

Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52. And the same suddenly, in a moment, at the time of the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For that which is corruptible must put on that which is incorruptible, and that which is mortal must put on immortality.

And when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall it be fulfilled. The word that is written:

Death is entwined in victory. Death, where is thy sting? Hell, where is your victory?

But the sting of death is sin: but the power of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wherefore, my brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always increasing in the work of the LORD, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the LORD.
(1 Corinthians)
Chapter 16

But of the taxation which is done unto the saints, as I have ordained for the churches which are in Galatia, so do ye also.

On every sabbath day lay up for yourselves every one of you, and gather that which seemeth him good: lest, when I come, the first thing that is to be gathered is the tax.

But if I be darkened, whom ye shall see by letters. I will send them, and they shall bring your good deeds unto Jerusalem.

But if it be worth my while to go, let them go with me.

But I will come unto you when I pass through Macedonia: for through Macedonia will I pass.

But with you I may abide, or I may winter, that ye may guide me whither I go.

I will not see you now as I pass by: for I hope to abide with you some time, if the LORD
permit.

But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

For a great door is opened unto me, which bringeth forth much fruit; and there are many abominable ones.

When Timothy cometh, see that he be with you without fear: for he also doeth the work of the Lord, as I do.

Lest any man despise him now. But lead him in peace, that he may come unto me: for I wait for him with the brethren.

Now concerning Apollos the brother, know that I exhorted him very much to come unto you with the brethren, and it was not his will at all that he should come now; but he will come when it shall be convenient for him.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, be ye manly, and be ye strong.

Let all your things be done in love.

Now I beseech you, brethren, that ye know the house of Stephanas, that they are ‡ the firstfruits of Achaia, and have ordained themselves for the service of the saints, 16. That ye also may be subject unto them, and to all that work and labour.

I rejoice in the future of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for where I have lacked of you, they have repaid.

They have refreshed
