1CO-15: 42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 1CO-15: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 1CO-15: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 1CO-15: 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit. 1CO-15: 46 Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 1CO-15: 47 The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven. 1CO-15: 48 As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly. 1CO-15: 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 1CO-15: 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 1CO-15: 51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1CO-15: 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. 1CO-15: 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. 1CO-15: 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. 1CO-15: 55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? 1CO-15: 56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. 1CO-15: 57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1CO-15: 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. 1CO-16: 1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 1CO-16: 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. 1CO-16: 3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. 1CO-16: 4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. 1CO-16: 5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. 1CO-16: 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. 1CO-16: 7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. 1CO-16: 8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. 1CO-16: 9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries. 1CO-16: 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] . 1CO-16: 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. 1CO-16: 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. 1CO-16: 13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 1CO-16: 14 Let all your things be done with charity. 1CO-16: 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, ) 1CO-16: 16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with [us] , and laboureth. 1CO-16: 17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. 1CO-16: 18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such. 1CO-16: 19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 1CO-16: 20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss. 1CO-16: 21 The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand. 1CO-16: 22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. 1CO-16: 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. 1CO-16: 24 My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. 2CO-1: 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: 2CO-1: 2 Grace [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. 2CO-1: 3 Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 2CO-1: 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2CO-1: 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 2CO-1: 6 And whether we be afflicted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation. 2CO-1: 7 And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the consolation. 2CO-1: 8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 2CO-1: 9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 2CO-1: 10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us] ; 2CO-1: 11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift [bestowed] upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. 2CO-1: 12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 2CO-1: 13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 2CO-1: 14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus. 2CO-1: 15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit; 2CO-1: 16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea. 2CO-1: 17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? 2CO-1: 18 But [as] God [is] true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. 2CO-1: 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 2CO-1: 20 For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 2CO-1: 21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, [is] God; 2CO-1: 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 2CO-1: 23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. 2CO-1: 24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. 2CO-2: 1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. 2CO-2: 2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? 2CO-2: 3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all. 2CO-2: 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. 2CO-2: 5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. 2CO-2: 6 Sufficient to such a man [is] this punishment, which [was inflicted] of many. 2CO-2: 7 So that contrariwise ye [ought] rather to forgive [him] , and comfort [him] , lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 2CO-2: 8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm [your] love toward him. 2CO-2: 9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. 2CO-2: 10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I [forgive] also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave [it] , for your sakes [forgave I it] in the person of Christ; 2CO-2: 11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2CO-2: 12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to [preach] Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, 2CO-2: 13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia. 2CO-2: 14 Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2CO-2: 15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 2CO-2: 16 To the one [we are] the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who [is] sufficient for these things? 2CO-2: 17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 2CO-3: 1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some [others] , epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of commendation from you? 2CO-3: 2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 2CO-3: 3 [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart. 2CO-3: 4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 2CO-3: 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God; 2CO-3: 6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 2CO-3: 7 But if the ministration of death, written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which [glory] was to be done away: 2CO-3: 8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 2CO-3: 9 For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 2CO-3: 10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 2CO-3: 11 For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious. 2CO-3: 12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 2CO-3: 13 And not as Moses, [which] put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 2CO-3: 14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which [veil] is done away in Christ. 2CO-3: 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. 2CO-3: 16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. 2CO-3: 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is] , there [is] liberty. 2CO-3: 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2CO-4: 1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2CO-4: 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 2CO-4: 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 2CO-4: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2CO-4: 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 2CO-4: 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2CO-4: 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2CO-4: 8 [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair; 2CO-4: 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 2CO-4: 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2CO-4: 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2CO-4: 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 2CO-4: 13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 2CO-4: 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you. 2CO-4: 15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 2CO-4: 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day. 2CO-4: 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; 2CO-4: 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal. 2CO-5: 1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2CO-5: 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 2CO-5: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 2CO-5: 4 For we that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 2CO-5: 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 2CO-5: 6 Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 2CO-5: 7 ( For we walk by faith, not by sight: ) 2CO-5: 8 We are confident, [I say] , and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 2CO-5: 9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 2CO-5: 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad. 2CO-5: 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 2CO-5: 12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to [answer] them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. 2CO-5: 13 For whether we be beside ourselves, [it is] to God: or whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause. 2CO-5: 14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 2CO-5: 15 And [that] he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 2CO-5: 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we [him] no more. 2CO-5: 17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2CO-5: 18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2CO-5: 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2CO-5: 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2CO-5: 21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2CO-6: 1 We then, [as] workers together [with him] , beseech [you] also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2CO-6: 2 ( For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation. ) 2CO-6: 3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 2CO-6: 4 But in all [things] approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 2CO-6: 5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 2CO-6: 6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 2CO-6: 7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 2CO-6: 8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and [yet] true; 2CO-6: 9 As unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 2CO-6: 10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things. 2CO-6: 11 O [ye] Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. 2CO-6: 12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. 2CO-6: 13 Now for a recompense in the same, ( I speak as unto [my] children, ) be ye also enlarged. 2CO-6: 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2CO-6: 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 2CO-6: 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them] ; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 2CO-6: 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing] ; and I will receive you, 2CO-6: 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2CO-7: 1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2CO-7: 2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. 2CO-7: 3 I speak not [this] to condemn [you] : for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with [you] . 2CO-7: 4 Great [is] my boldness of speech toward you, great [is] my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. 2CO-7: 5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears. 2CO-7: 6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 2CO-7: 7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. 2CO-7: 8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though [it were] but for a season. 2CO-7: 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 2CO-7: 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. ~~~~~~
