1 Corinthians

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

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

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.

Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

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

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,

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father"s wife.

What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

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.

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

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.

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

We are fools for Christ"s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

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.

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.
