CHAPTERS 9-16
1CORINTHIANS#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?
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.
3 ¶ Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4 Have we not
power to eat and to drink?
5 Have we not
power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the
brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6 Or I only and
Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a
vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and
eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8 Say I these
things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
9 For it is
written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that
treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
10 Or saith he it
altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he
that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be
partaker of his hope.
11 If we have
sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your
carnal things?
12 If others be
partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not
used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of
Christ.
13 Do ye not know
that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple?
and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel
should live of the gospel.
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.
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!
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.
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.
19 ¶ For though I be free from all men, yet have I made
myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
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;
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.
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.
23 And this I do
for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
24 ¶ Know ye not that they which run in a race run all,
but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 And every man
that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to
obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so
run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
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.
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;
2 And were all
baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat
the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all
drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that
followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many
of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 ¶ Now these things were our examples, to the intent we
should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written,
The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us
commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and
twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us
tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur
ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these
things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let
him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who
will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 ¶ I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
16 The cup of
blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The
bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17 For we being
many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
18 Behold Israel
after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the
altar?
19 What say I
then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to
idols is any thing?
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.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye
cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
22 Do we provoke
the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23 ¶ All things are lawful for me, but all things are not
expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24 Let no man
seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
25 Whatsoever is
sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
26 For the earth
is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
27 If any of them
that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is
set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto
idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the
earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
29 Conscience, I
say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another
man's conscience?
30 For if I by
grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31 Whether
therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Give none
offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
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.
1 ¶ Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2 Now I praise
you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I
delivered them to you.
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.
4 Every man
praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5 But every woman
that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for
that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6 For if the
woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman
to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is
the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is
not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the
man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10 For this cause
ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless
neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the
Lord.
12 For as the
woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of
God.
13 Judge in
yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long
hair, it is a shame unto him?
15 But if a woman
have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
16 But if any man
seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
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.
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.
19 For there must
be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest
among you.
20 When ye come
together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and
one is hungry, and another is drunken.
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.
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:
24 And when he
had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat:
this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same
manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft
as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often
as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he
come.
27 Wherefore
whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily,
shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread,
and drink of that cup.
29 For he that
eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not
discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause
many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31 For if we
would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But when we
are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with
the world.
33 Wherefore, my
brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
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.
1 ¶ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not
have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye
were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
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.
4 Now there are
diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are
differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are
diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to
profit withal.
8 For to one is
given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the
same Spirit;
9 To another faith
by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the
working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to
another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these
worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he
will.
12 ¶ For as the body is one, and hath many members, and
all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one
Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
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?
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?
17 If the whole
body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were
the smelling?
18 But now hath
God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they
were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are
they many members, yet but one body.
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.
22 Nay, much more
those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 And those
members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow
more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely
parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more
abundant honour to that part which lacked:
25 That there
should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care
one for another.
26 And whether
one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured,
all the members rejoice with it.
27 ¶ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in
particular.
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily
prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps,
governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all
apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the
gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet
earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
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.
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.
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.
4 ¶ Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth
not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave
itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not
in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things,
endureth all things.
8 ¶ Charity never faileth: but whether there be
prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in
part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that
which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
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.
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.
13 And now
abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is
charity.
1 ¶ Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but
rather that ye may prophesy.
2 For he that
speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man
understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 But he that
prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4 He that
speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth
edifieth the church.
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.
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?
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp,
except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is
piped or harped?
8 For if the
trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
9 So likewise ye,
except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be
known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
10 There are, it
may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without
signification.
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.
12 Even so ye,
forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the
edifying of the church.
13 Wherefore let
him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my
understanding is unfruitful.
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.
16 Else when thou
shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the
unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what
thou sayest?
17 For thou
verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 I thank my
God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
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.
20 Brethren, be
not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in
understanding be men.
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.
22 Wherefore
tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not:
but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which
believe.
23 If therefore
the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues,
and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say
that ye are mad?
24 But if all
prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is
convinced of all, he is judged of all:
25 And thus are
the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will
worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
26 ¶ How is it then, brethren? when ye come together,
every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a
revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man
speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that
by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church;
and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Let the
prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing
be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31 For ye may all
prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 And the
spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not
the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
34 ¶ Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it
is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under
obedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at
home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 ¶ What? came the word of God out from you? or came it
unto you only?
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.
38 But if any man
be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Wherefore,
brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 Let all things
be done decently and in order.
1 ¶ Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel
which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also
ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have
believed in vain.
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;
4 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, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he
was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part
remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After
that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all
he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
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.
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.
11 Therefore
whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12 ¶ Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the
dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there
be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your
faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we
are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he
raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the
dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ
be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also
which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this
life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 ¶ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become
the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of
the dead.
22 For as in Adam
all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man
in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at
his coming.
24 Then cometh
the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must
reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy
that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath
put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him,
it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son
also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be
all in all.
29 Else what
shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why
are they then baptized for the dead?
30 And why stand
we in jeopardy every hour?
31 I protest by
your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
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.
33 Be not
deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to
righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak
this to your shame.
35 ¶ But some man will say,
How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool,
that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which
thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may
chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God giveth
it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is
not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of
beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also
celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is
one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one
glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the
stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in
corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in
dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in
power:
44 It is sown a
natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there
is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written,
The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening
spirit.
46 Howbeit that
was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that
which is spiritual.
47 The first man
is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the
earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are
they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear
the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I
say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither
doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 ¶ Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all
sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and
the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this
corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on
immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where
is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be
to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 ¶ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast,
unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that
your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 ¶ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I
have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
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.
3 And when I
come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring
your liberality unto Jerusalem.
4 And if it be
meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
5 ¶ Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through
Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
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.
7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a
while with you, if the Lord permit.
8 But I will
tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great
door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
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.
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.
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.
13 ¶ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like
men, be strong.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
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,)
16 That ye submit
yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
17 I am glad of
the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking
on your part they have supplied.
18 For they have
refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
19 ¶ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and
Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
20 All the
brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22 If any man
love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
23 The grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My love be
with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. <<The first epistle to the
Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus
and Timotheus.>>
