The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

(10)

Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.

" But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of II God. "For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of (12 God. "But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things (13 that are freely given to us by God. "Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; 34 comparing spiritual things 14 with spiritual. "Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritu15 ally judged. "But he that is spiritual judgeth all 16 things, and he himself is 5 judged of no man. "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

"For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, (5) I am of Apollos; are ye not men? "What then is Apol

"Now he that

planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. "For we are God's fellow-workers: ye are God's 1husbandry, God's building.

According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon. "For other foundation can no man (12 lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. "But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly 13 stones, wood, hay, stubble; "each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's (14 work of what sort it is. "If any man's work shall abide "If which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward. any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.

If any man thinketh that world, let him become a "For the wisdom of this For it is written, He that

Let a man so account of us, as of ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. "Here, moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

"But with me it is a very small thing that I should be 1 judged of you, or of man's judgement: yea, I 3 judge 4 not mine own self. "For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that 'judgeth me is (5) the Lord. "Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God.

Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other. "For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not re(8) ceived it? "Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have reigned without us: yea and I would that (9 ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. "For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto Io 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 have glory, but we have dishonour.

I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish 15 you as my beloved children. "For though ye should have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the 16 gospel. "I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me. 17) "For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, even as 18 I teach everywhere in every church. "Now some are 19 puffed up, as though I were not coming to you. "But I

will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them which are puffed up, but the 20 power. "For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in (21 power. "What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of meekness?

5 (1 It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the 2 Gentiles, that one of you hath his father's wife. "And 2 ye are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he that had done this deed might be taken away from among (3) you. "For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him that hath so wrought this thing, "in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, 5 with the power of our Lord Jesus, "to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit 6 may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. "Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leav(7) eneth the whole lump?

I wrote unto you in my epistle to have no company (10 with fornicators; 12 not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world: "but now I write unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extor(12 tioner; with such a one no, not to eat. "For what have

I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye (13) judge them that are within, "whereas them that are without God judgeth? Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.

Dare any of you, having a matter against 'his neighbour, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before (2) the saints? "Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye un3 worthy to judge the smallest matters? "Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that 4 pertain to this life? "If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are (5) of no account in the church? "I say this to move you to shame. Is it so, that there cannot be found among you one wise man, who shall be able to decide between his brethren, "but brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
