4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; b 5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

b 8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where as the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? t 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save

c 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, 1 judge not mine own self.

4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. t 5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

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. t 7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

18 Let no man deceive himself. 8 Now ye are full, now ye are If any man among you rich, ye have reigned as kings to be wise in this world, let him without us: and I would to God become a fool, that he may be ye did reign, that we also might wise.

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.

e 10 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.

11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place; c 12 And labour, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it;

13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the off-scouring of all things unto this day.

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

f15 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.

d 16 Wherefore, I beseech you, beye followers of me.

c 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.

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

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;

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered to gether, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, d 5 To deliver such a one unt Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Your glorying is not good Know ye not, that a little leaver leaveneth the whole lump? d7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacri ficed for us:

d 8 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.

CHAP. V.

T 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.

d* 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 ide lator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one no not to eat.

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

13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wick ed person.
