(1) Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 

(1) Paul, an apostle called of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 

(4) I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 

(4) I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you of Jesus Christ. 

(5) That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 

(5) That in everything ye are enriched of him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 

(10) Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 

(10) Now I beseech you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 

(12) Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 

(12) Now this I say, that many of you say, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 

(24) But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 

(24) But unto them who believe, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 

(26) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 

(26) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are chosen. 

(27) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 

(27) For God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 

(28) And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 

(28) And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not mighty, to bring to nought things that are: 

(11) For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 

(11) For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man except he has the Spirit of God. 

(2) I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 

(2) I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to receive it, neither yet now are ye able. 

(15) If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 

(15) ) If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself may be saved; yet so as by fire. 

(2) Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 

(2) Moreover, it is required of stewards, that a man be found faithful. 

(4) For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 

(4) For though I know nothing against myself, yet I am not hereby justified. But he who judgeth me is the Lord. 

(5) Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 

(5) Therefore I judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 

(3) For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 

(3) For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, I have judged already him who hath so done this deed as though I was present. 

(4) In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

(4) In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together and have the Spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

(12) For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 

(12) For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? Do not they judge them that are within? 

(12) All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 

(12) All these things are not lawful unto me, and all these things are not expedient. All things are not lawful for me, therefore I will not be brought under the power of any. 

(18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 

(18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man commiteth is against the body of Christ, and he who commiteth fornication sinneth against his own body. 

(1) Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 

(1) Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me, saying, It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 

(2) Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 

(2) Nevertheless I say, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 

(5) Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 

(5) Depart ye not one from the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 

(6) But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 

(6) And now what I speak is by permission and not by commandment. 

(9) But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 

(9) But if they cannot abide, let them marry: for it is better to marry than that any should commit sin. 

(11) But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 

(11) But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 

(26) I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. 

(26) I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress for a man so to remain, that he may do greater good. 

(28) But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. 

(28) But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh, for I spare you not. 

(29) But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; 

(29) But I speak unto you who are called unto the ministry. For this I say, brethren, the time that remaineth is but short that ye shall be sent forth unto the ministry. Even they who have wives shall be as though they had none, for ye are called and chosen to do the Lord’s work. 

(30) And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; 

(30) And it shall be with them who weep, as though they wept not, and them who rejoice as though they rejoiced not, and them who buy, as though they possessed not; 

(31) And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. 

(31) And them who use this world as not using it. For the fashion of this world passeth away. 

(32) But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 

(32) But I would, brethren, that ye magnify your calling.I would have you without carefulness, for he who is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord; therefore he prevaileth. 

(33) But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 

(33) But he who is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. Therefore, there is a difference, for he is hindered. 

(36) But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. 

(36) But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin whom he hath espoused, if she pass the flower of her age and need so require, let him do what he hath promised. He sinneth not, let them marry. 

(38) So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. 

(38) So then he that giveth himself in marriage doeth well, but he that giveth himself not in marriage doeth better.
