summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.

And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed. The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

ROMANS XIV

I Corinthians viii. Hebrews xiii

If any man is weak in his faith, him receive ye; but not for the decision of scruples. One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; neither let him that eateth not sit in judgment upon him that eateth: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. So also one man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Let each man therefore be fully assured in his own mind. It is good that the heart he established by grace, not by meats. For meat commendeth us not to God: neither, if we eat

not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better. For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

ROMANS XIV, XV

I Corinthians xii. Philippians ii

Now we that are strong ought to help them that are weak, and not to please ourselves. But let each one of us please his neighbour for that which is good for building him up: not looking each one to his own things, but each one also to the things of others. For none of us liveth to himself; but we are members one of another. And if one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it.

So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may build up one another. For he that herein serveth his neighbour is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men. Bear ye therefore one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL

TO THE CORINTHIANS

I CORINTHIANS I

For

Now the word of the cross is to some foolishness; but unto us it is the power of God. it is written:

I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,

And will bring to nought the discernment of the prudent.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For seeing that the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom: but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness; but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

For ye behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame

the things that are strong; and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, yea, the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are: that no flesh should glory before God. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, both righteousness and sanctification and redemption: that, according as it is written,

He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

I CORINTHIANS II

Now I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should stand, not in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Howbeit among them that are fullgrown we do speak wisdom: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nought: but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the worlds unto our glory: as it is written:

Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And which entered not into the heart of man, Even the things which God prepared for them that love him.

For unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of 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 God. But the unspiritual man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for unto him they are foolishness; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God; that we may know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom. teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men.

I CORINTHIANS I, III

Now I beseech you, brethren, that ye be perfected together in one mind, having the same spirit. For it hath been signified unto me that there are divisions among you. This I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I am of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him. I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the inSo then neither is he that planteth any

crease.
