46-1 CORINTHIANS
46-1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of
God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
46-1:10 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.
46-1:12 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.
46-1:14 I thank God that I baptized
none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
46-1:15 Lest
any should say that I had baptized in mine own
name.
46-1:16 And
I baptized also the household of Stephanas:
besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
46-1:19 For
it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the
wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
46-2:1 And
I, brethren, when I
came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto
you the testimony of God.
46-2:2 For
I determined not to know any thing among you,
save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
46-2:3 And
I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in
much trembling.
46-3:1 And
I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto
spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as
unto babes in Christ.
46-3:2 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.
46-3:4 For
while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of
Apollos; are ye not carnal?
46-3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the
increase.
46-3:10 According
to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth
thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
46-4:3 But
with me it is a very small thing that I should
be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I
judge not mine own self.
46-4:4 For
I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the
Lord.
46-4:6 And
these things, brethren, I have in a figure
transferred to myself and to Apollos
for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up
for one against another.
46-4:8 Now
ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign
with you.
46-4:9 For
I think that God hath set forth us the apostles
last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the
world, and to angels, and to men.
46-4:14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my
beloved sons I warn you.
46-4:15 For
though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
46-4:16 Wherefore
I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
46-4:17 For
this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who
is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into
remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I
teach every where in every church.
46-4:18 Now
some are puffed up, as though I would not come
to you.
46-4:19 But
I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will,
and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
46-4:21 What
will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in
love, and in the spirit of meekness?
46-5:3 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,
46-5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with
fornicators:
46-5:11 But
now I have written unto you not to keep company,
if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an
idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no
not to eat.
46-5:12 For
what have I to do to judge them also that are
without? do not ye judge them that are within?
46-6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a
wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his
brethren?
46-6:12 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.
46-6:15 Know
ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God
forbid.
46-7:6 But
I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
46-7:7 For
I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God,
one after this manner, and another after that.
46-7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is
good for them if they abide even as I.
46-7:10 And
unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the
wife depart from her husband:
46-7:12 But
to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any
brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him,
let him not put her away.
46-7:17 But
as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let
him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
46-7:25 Now
concerning virgins I have no commandment of the
Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath
obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
46-7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present
distress, I
say, that it is good for a man so
to be.
46-7:28 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.
46-7:29 But
this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they
that have wives be as though they had none;
46-7:32 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:
46-7:35 And
this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is
comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
46-7:40 But
she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I
think also that I have the Spirit of God.
46-8:13 Wherefore,
if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no
flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my
brother to offend.
46-9:1 Am
I not an apostle? am I
not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?
are not ye my work in the Lord?
46-9:2 If
I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye
in the Lord.
46-9:6 Or
I only and Barnabas, have not we power to
forbear working?
46-9:8 Say
I these things as a man? or saith not the law
the same also?
46-9:15 But
I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto
me: for it were better for me to die,
than that any man should make my glorying void.
46-9:16 For
though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon
me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the
gospel!
46-9:17 For
if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a
dispensation of the gospel is
committed unto me.
46-9:18 What
is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I
may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I
abuse not my power in the gospel.
46-9:19 For
though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant
unto all, that I might gain the more.
46-9:20 And
unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law,
as under the law, that I might gain them that
are under the law;
46-9:21 To
them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but
under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them
that are without law.
46-9:22 To
the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I
am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
46-9:23 And
this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
46-9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
46-9:27 But
I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any
means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
46-10:1 Moreover,
brethren, I would not that ye should be
ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through
the sea;
46-10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
46-10:19 What
say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that
which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
46-10:20 But
I say, that
the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to
God: and I would not that ye should have
fellowship with devils.
46-10:29 Conscience,
I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why
is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?
46-10:30 For
if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
46-10:33 Even
as I please all men in all things, not
seeking mine own profit, but the profit of
many, that they may be saved.
46-11:1 Be
ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
46-11:2 Now
I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in
all things, and keep the ordinances, as I
delivered them to you.
46-11:3 But
I would have you know, that the head of every
man is Christ; and the head of the woman is
the man; and the head of Christ is God.
46-11:17 Now
in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for
the better, but for the worse.
46-11:18 For
first of all, when ye come together in the church, I
hear that there be divisions among you; and I
partly believe it.
46-11:22 What?
have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and
shame them that have not? What shall I say to
you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
46-11:23 For
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took
bread:
46-11:34 And
if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto
condemnation. And the rest will I set in order
when I come.
46-12:1 Now
concerning spiritual gifts, brethren,
I would not have you ignorant.
46-12:3 Wherefore
I give you to understand, that no man speaking
by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
46-12:15 If
the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
46-12:16 And
if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
46-12:21 And
the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need
of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have
no need of you.
46-12:31 But
covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I
unto you a more excellent way.
46-13:1 Though
I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
46-13:2 And
though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all
knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
46-13:3 And
though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it
profiteth me nothing.
46-13:11 When
I was a child, I
spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish
things.
46-13:12 For
now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
46-14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather
that ye prophesied: for greater is he
that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that
the church may receive edifying.
46-14:6 Now,
brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues,
what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by
knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
46-14:11 Therefore
if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he
that speaketh shall be a barbarian
unto me.
46-14:14 For
if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is
unfruitful.
46-14:15 What
is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
46-14:18 I thank my God, I speak
with tongues more than ye all:
46-14:19 Yet
in the church I had rather speak five words with
my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in
an unknown tongue.
46-14:21 In
the law it is written, With men of other
tongues and other lips will I speak unto this
people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
46-14:37 If
any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that
the things that I write unto you are the
commandments of the Lord.
46-15:1 Moreover,
brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and
wherein ye stand;
46-15:2 By
which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I
preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
46-15:3 For
I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures;
46-15:9 For
I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet
to be called an apostle, because I persecuted
the church of God.
46-15:10 But
by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I
laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I,
but the grace of God which was with me.
46-15:11 Therefore
whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
46-15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
46-15:32 If
after the manner of men I have fought with
beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and
drink; for to morrow we die.
46-15:34 Awake
to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to
your shame.
46-15:50 Now
this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption.
46-15:51 Behold,
I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed,
46-16:1 Now
concerning the collection for the saints, as I
have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
46-16:2 Upon
the first day of the week let every
one of you lay by him in store, as God hath
prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I
come.
46-16:3 And
when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
46-16:4 And
if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with
me.
46-16:5 Now
I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
46-16:6 And
it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter
with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
46-16:7 For
I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
46-16:8 But
I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
46-16:10 Now
if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the
work of the Lord, as I also do.
46-16:11 Let
no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come
unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
46-16:12 As
touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the
brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come
when he shall have convenient time.
46-16:15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of
Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
46-16:17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus
and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
47-2 CORINTHIANS
47-1:13 For
we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
47-1:15 And
in this confidence I was minded to come unto you
before, that ye might have a second benefit;
47-1:17 When
I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose
according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
47-1:23 Moreover
I call God for a record upon my soul, that to
spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
47-2:1 But
I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
47-2:2 For
if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh
me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
47-2:3 And
I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have
sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice;
having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
47-2:4 For
out of much affliction and anguish of heart I
wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye
might know the love which I have more abundantly
unto you.
47-2:5 But
if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
47-2:8 Wherefore
I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
47-2:9 For
to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient
in all things.
47-2:10 To
whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I
forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in
the person of Christ;
47-2:12 Furthermore,
when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
47-2:13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of
them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
47-4:13 We
having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
47-5:8 We
are confident, I
say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with
the Lord.
47-5:11 Knowing
therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest
unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in
your consciences.
47-6:2 (For
he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted,
and in the day of salvation have I succoured
thee: behold, now is the accepted
time; behold, now is the day of
salvation.)
47-6:13 Now
for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
47-6:16 And
what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the
living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in
them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
47-6:17 Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the
unclean thing; and I will receive you,
47-7:3 I speak not this
to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die
and live with you.
47-7:4 Great
is my boldness of speech toward you,
great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I
am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
47-7:7 And
not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in
you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward
me; so that I rejoiced the more.
47-7:8 For
though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I
did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle
hath made you sorry, though it were but
for a season.
47-7:9 Now
I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that
ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye
might receive damage by us in nothing.
47-7:12 Wherefore,
though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had
done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for
you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
47-7:14 For
if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in
truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
47-7:16 I rejoice therefore that I
have confidence in you in all things.
47-8:3 For
to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing
of themselves;
47-8:8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the
forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
47-8:10 And
herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before,
not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
47-8:13 For
I mean not
that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
47-8:22 And
we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in
many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in
you.
47-9:2 For
I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was
ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
47-9:3 Yet
have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of
you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I
said, ye may be ready:
47-9:5 Therefore
I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren,
that they would go before unto you, and make up before hand your bounty,
whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
47-9:6 But
this I
say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which
soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
47-10:1 Now
I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and
gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base
among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
47-10:2 But
I beseech you,
that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as
if we walked according to the flesh.
47-10:8 For
though I should boast somewhat more of our
authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your
destruction, I should not be ashamed:
47-10:9 That
I may not seem as if I
would terrify you by letters.
47-11:2 For
I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you
as a chaste virgin to Christ.
47-11:3 But
I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ.
47-11:5 For
I suppose I was
not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
47-11:6 But
though I
be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made
manifest among you in all things.
47-11:7 Have
I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye
might be exalted, because I have preached to you
the gospel of God freely?
47-11:8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
47-11:9 And
when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking
to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I
have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
47-11:11 Wherefore?
because I love you not? God knoweth.
47-11:12 But
what I do, that I
will do, that I may cut off occasion from them
which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
47-11:16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise,
yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast
myself a little.
47-11:17 That
which I speak, I
speak it not after the Lord, but as
it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
47-11:18 Seeing
that many glory after the flesh, I will glory
also.
47-11:21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been
weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I
speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
47-11:22 Are
they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham?
so am I.
47-11:23 Are
they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more;
in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent,
in deaths oft.
47-11:24 Of
the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
47-11:25 Thrice
was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I
suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have
been in the deep;
47-11:29 Who
is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and
I burn not?
47-11:30 If
I must needs glory, I
will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
47-11:31 The
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth
that I lie not.
47-11:33 And
through a window in a basket was I let down by
the wall, and escaped his hands.
47-12:1 It
is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I
will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
47-12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,
(whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether
out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
such an one caught up to the third heaven.
47-12:3 And
I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out
of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
47-12:5 Of
such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
47-12:6 For
though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I
will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that
which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
47-12:7 And
lest I should be exalted above measure through
the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,
the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I
should be exalted above measure.
47-12:8 For
this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it
might depart from me.
47-12:9 And
he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made
perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I
rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
47-12:10 Therefore
I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches,
in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I
strong.
47-12:11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me:
for I ought to have been commended of you: for
in nothing am I behind the very chiefest
apostles, though I be nothing.
47-12:13 For
what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I
myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
47-12:14 Behold,
the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not
to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
47-12:15 And
I will very gladly spend and be spent for you;
though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
47-12:16 But
be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless,
being crafty, I caught you with guile.
47-12:17 Did
I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
47-12:18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make
a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
47-12:20 For
I fear, lest, when I
come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that
I shall be found unto you such as ye would
not: lest there be debates, envyings,
wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
47-12:21 And lest, when I
come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have
sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and
lasciviousness which they have committed.
47-13:1 This
is the third time I am coming to you. In the
mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
47-13:2 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to
all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
47-13:6 But
I trust that ye shall know that we are not
reprobates.
47-13:7 Now
I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we
should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we
be as reprobates.
47-13:10 Therefore
I write these things being absent, lest being
present I should use sharpness, according to the
power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
48-GALATIANS
48-1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that
called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
48-1:9 As
we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you
than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
48-1:10 For
do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I
yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of
Christ.
48-1:11 But
I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which
was preached of me is not after man.
48-1:12 For
I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but
by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
48-1:13 For
ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that
beyond measure I persecuted the church of God,
and wasted it:
48-1:16 To
reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him
among the heathen; immediately I conferred not
with flesh and blood:
48-1:17 Neither
went I up to Jerusalem to them which were
apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and
returned again unto Damascus.
48-1:18 Then
after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see
Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
48-1:19 But
other of the apostles saw I none, save James the
Lord’s brother.
48-1:20 Now
the things which I write unto you, behold,
before God, I lie not.
48-1:21 Afterwards
I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
48-2:1 Then
fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem
with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
48-2:2 And
I went up by revelation, and communicated unto
them that gospel which I preach among the
Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
48-2:10 Only
they would that we should remember
the poor; the same which I also was forward to
do.
48-2:11 But
when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him
to the face, because he was to be blamed.
48-2:14 But
when I saw that they walked not uprightly
according to the truth of the gospel, I said
unto Peter before them all, If thou,
being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why
compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
48-2:18 For
if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make
myself a transgressor.
48-2:19 For
I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
48-2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son
of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
48-2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if
righteousness come by the law, then
Christ is dead in vain.
48-3:2 This
only would I learn of you, Received ye the
Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
48-3:15 Brethren,
I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth,
or addeth thereto.
48-3:17 And
this I say, that
the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which
was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make
the promise of none effect.
48-4:1 Now
I say, That
the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant,
though he be lord of all;
48-4:11 I am afraid of you, lest I
have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
48-4:12 Brethren,
I beseech you, be as I
am; for I
am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.
48-4:13 Ye
know how through infirmity of the flesh I
preached the gospel unto you at the first.
48-4:15 Where
is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear
you record, that, if it had been possible,
ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
48-4:16 Am
I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
48-4:18 But
it is good to be zealously affected
always in a good thing, and not only when I am
present with you.
48-4:19 My
little children, of whom I travail in birth
again until Christ be formed in you,
48-4:20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my
voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
48-5:2 Behold,
I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised,
Christ shall profit you nothing.
48-5:3 For
I testify again to every man that is
circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
48-5:10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye
will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his
judgment, whosoever he be.
48-5:11 And
I, brethren, if I
yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer
persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
48-5:12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
48-5:16 This I
say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
48-5:21 Envyings,
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I
have also told you in time past, that
they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
48-6:11 Ye
see how large a letter I have written unto you
with mine own hand.
48-6:14 But
God forbid that I should glory, save in the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
48-6:17 From
henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in
my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
49-EPHESIANS
49-1:15 Wherefore
I also, after I
heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
49-3:1 For
this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ
for you Gentiles,
49-3:3 How
that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
49-3:7 Whereof
I was made a minister, according to the gift of the
grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
49-3:8 Unto
me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable
riches of Christ;
49-3:13 Wherefore
I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations
for you, which is your glory.
49-3:14 For
this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
49-4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you
that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
49-4:17 This
I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that
ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
49-5:32 This
is a great mystery: but I speak concerning
Christ and the church.
49-6:19 And
for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I
may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
49-6:20 For
which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I
ought to speak.
49-6:21 But
that ye also may know my affairs, and how
I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful
minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
49-6:22 Whom
I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that
ye might know our affairs, and that he
might comfort your hearts.
50-PHILIPPIANS
50-1:3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
50-1:7 Even
as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I
have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation
of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
50-1:8 For
God is my record, how greatly I long after you
all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
50-1:9 And
this I pray, that your love may abound yet more
and more in knowledge and in all
judgment;
50-1:12 But
I would ye should understand, brethren, that the
things which happened unto me have
fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
50-1:17 But
the other of love, knowing that I am set for the
defence of the gospel.
50-1:18 What
then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is
preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and
will rejoice.
50-1:19 For
I know that this shall turn to my salvation
through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
50-1:20 According
to my earnest expectation and my hope,
that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in
my body, whether it be by life, or by
death.
50-1:22 But
if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot
not.
50-1:23 For
I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to
depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
50-1:25 And
having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your
furtherance and joy of faith;
50-1:27 Only
let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one
spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
50-2:16 Holding
forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in
the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain,
neither laboured in vain.
50-2:17 Yea,
and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and
service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with
you all.
50-2:19 But
I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus
shortly unto you, that I also may be of good
comfort, when I know your state.
50-2:20 For
I have no man likeminded, who will naturally
care for your state.
50-2:23 Him
therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
50-2:24 But
I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
50-2:25 Yet
I supposed it necessary to send to you
Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your
messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
50-2:27 For
indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him
only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow
upon sorrow.
50-2:28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye
see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be
the less sorrowful.
50-3:4 Though
I might also have confidence in the flesh. If
any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
50-3:7 But
what things were gain to me, those I counted
loss for Christ.
50-3:8 Yea
doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the
knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I
have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
50-3:10 That
I may know him, and the power of his
resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto
his death;
50-3:11 If
by any means I might attain unto the
resurrection of the dead.
50-3:12 Not
as though I had already attained, either were
already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
50-3:13 Brethren,
I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
50-3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.
50-3:18 (For
many walk, of whom I have told you often, and
now tell you even weeping, that they are the
enemies of the cross of Christ:
50-4:2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be
of the same mind in the Lord.
50-4:3 And
I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those
women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose
names are in the book of life.
50-4:4 Rejoice
in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
50-4:10 But
I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the
last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but
ye lacked opportunity.
50-4:11 Not
that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to
be content.
50-4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both
to abound and to suffer need.
50-4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me.
50-4:15 Now
ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with
me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
50-4:17 Not
because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
50-4:18 But
I have all, and abound: I
am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice
acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
51-COLOSSIANS
51-1:20 And,
having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all
things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they
be things in earth, or things in heaven.
51-1:23 If
ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard,
and which was preached to every
creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul
am made a minister;
51-1:25 Whereof
I am made a minister, according to the
dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
51-1:29 Whereunto
I also labour, striving according to his
working, which worketh in me mightily.
51-2:1 For
I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for
as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
51-2:4 And
this I say, lest any man should beguile you with
enticing words.
51-2:5 For
though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your
order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
51-4:3 Withal
praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak
the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in
bonds:
51-4:4 That
I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
51-4:8 Whom
I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that
he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
51-4:13 For
I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for
you, and them that are in
