Introduction

1st Corinthians 1: PAUL, called and sent by Yeshua the Messiah in the good pleasure of God; and Sosthenes, a brother; 2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, to the people called and sanctified, who is sanctified in Yeshua the Messiah; and to all them, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, their and our Lord: 3 *merciful kindness* be with you, and peace; from God our Father, and from our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. 4 I thank my God at all times on your behalf, for the *merciful kindness* of God which is given to you in Yeshua the Messiah; 5 that in every thing you are enriched by him, in all discourse, and in all knowledge; 6 even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed among you: 7 so that you arent inferior in any one of his gifts; but are waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah: 8 who will confirm you to the end, so that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. 9 God is faithful; by who you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord. 10 I implore you, my Brethren, by the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that to you all there may be one language; and that there may be no divisions among you: but that you may become perfectly of one mind, and of one way of thinking. 11 For concerning you, my Brethren, it has been reported to me by the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 This I state: That one of you says, I am of Paul; and another says, I am of Apollos; and another says, I am of Cephas; and another says, I am of Messiah. 13 Now was Messiah divided? Or was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed* in the name of Paul? 14 I thank my God that I immersed* none of you, except Crispus and Gaius; 15 for fear that any one should say, that I immersed* in my own name. 16 I moreover immersed* the household of Stephanas: but further, I know not that I immersed* any other. 17 For Messiah didnt send me to baptize, but to preach; not with wisdom of words, for fear that the cross of Messiah should be inefficient. 18 For a discourse concerning the cross is, to them who perish, foolishness; but to us who live, it is the energy of God. 19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will dissipate the intelligence of the sagacious. 20 Where is the wise? Or where is the Law professor? Or where is the disputant of this world? Look, hasnt God showed, that the wisdom of this world is folly? 21 For in the wisdom of Yehovah’, because the world by wisdom didnt know Yehovah, it pleased Him, by the simplicity of heralding*, to preserve* those who believe. 22 Because the Jews ask for signs, and the Nations demand wisdom. 23 But we preach Messiah as crucified; which is a stumbling-block to the Jews, and foolishness to the Nations; 24 but to them who is called, both Jews and Nations, Messiah is the energy of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God, is wiser than men; and the feebleness of God, is stronger than men. 26 For look also at your calling, my Brethren; that not many among you are wise, according to the flesh; and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you are of high birth. 27 But God has chosen the foolish ones of the world, to shame the wise; and he has chosen the feeble ones of the world, to shame the mighty; 28 and he has chosen those of humble birth in the world, and the despised, and them who is nothing, to bring to naught them who is something: 29 so that no flesh might, praise before him. 30 You, moreover, are of him in Yeshua the Messiah; who has become to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: 31 according to that which is written: he who glorifies, let him praise in the Lord.

1st Corinthians 2: I, my Brethren, when I came to you, didnt preach to you the mystery of God in magnificent speech, nor in wisdom. 2 I didnt govern myself among you, as if I knew anything, except only Yeshua the Messiah; and Him also as crucified. 3 I was with you in much fear and trembling. 4 My speech and my preaching were not with the persuasiveness of the discourses of wisdom; but with the demonstration of the Spirit, and with power: 5 that your faith might not arise from the wisdom of men, but from the power of God. 6 Yet we do speak wisdom, among the perfect; the wisdom not of this world, nor of the potentates of this world, who will come to naught. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God, in a mystery; the wisdom which was hidden, and which God predetermined before the world was, for our glory: 8 which no one of the potentates of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written: The eye has not seen, nor has the ear heard, nor has it entered into the mind of man, that which God has prepared for those who love him. 10 But Yehovah has revealed it to us, by his Spirit; for the Spirit explores everything, even the profound things of Yehovah. 11 For what man is there, who knows that which is in a man, except it be the spirit of the man, which is in him? So also, that which is in God, no one knows, except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God; that we might know the free gifts, which are given to us by God. 13 Which things we also speak; not in the teaching of the words of man’s wisdom, but in the teaching of the spirit; and we compare spirituals with spirituals. 14 For a man in his natural self, receives not spirituals; for they are foolishness to him. Neither can he know them; for they are discerned by the Spirit. 15 But he who is spiritual, judges of all things: and he is judged of by no one. 16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of the Messiah.

1st Corinthians 3: I, brethren, could not talk with you, as with spiritual people, but as with the carnal, as with babes in Messiah. 2 I gave you milk, and didnt give you solid food: for you were not then able to receive it; and even now, you arent able. 3 For you are still in the flesh. For, as there are among you envying, and contention, and parties, are you not carnal, and walking in the flesh? 4 For, while one of you says, I am of Paul; and another says, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal? 5 For, who is Paul, or who is Apollos, but the deacons* [1249, diakonos] by who you believed, each one as the Lord gave to him? 6 I planted, and Apollos watered; but God produced the growth. 7 Not therefore he who planted, is to be accounted of, nor he who watered, but God who produced the growth. 8 He who planted, and he who watered are on a par; each receives his compensation*, according to his labor. 9 For we labor with God: and you are God’s husbandry, and God’s edifice. 10 According to the *merciful kindness* of God which was given me, I laid the foundation like a wise architect; and another builds on it. But let each one see, how he builds on it. 11 For any other foundation can no man lay, different from that which is laid, which is Yeshua the Messiah. 12 If any one builds on this foundation, either gold, or silver, or precious stones, or wood, or hay, or stubble; 13 the work of each will be exposed to view; for the day will expose it; because it is to be tested by fire; and the fire will disclose the work of each, of what sort it is. 14 That builder whose work will endure, will receive his compensation*. 15 He, whose work will burn up, will suffer loss; yet himself will escape; but it will be, as from the fire. 16 Know you not, that you are the temple of God? and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 Whoever will mar the temple of God, God will mar him: for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. 18 Let no one deceive himself. Whoever among you thinks that he is wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is fatuity with God: for it is written, He catches the wise in their own craftiness. 20 Again: The Lord knows the devices of the wise, that they are vain. 21 therefore, let no one praise in men: for all things are yours; 22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are yours: 23 and you are Messiah’s, and Messiah is God’s.

1st Corinthians 4: Let’s be accounted of by you, as the servants of Messiah, and the stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Now it is required of stewards, that each be found faithful. 3 But to me, it is a light matter to be judged of by you, or by any man whatever; no, I am no judge of myself. 4 (For I am not conscious in myself of any thing flagrant; yet I am not by this justified; for the Lord is my judge.) 5 Therefore dont pronounce judgments before the time, or until the Lord comes, who will pour light on the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the thoughts of men’s hearts: and then will each one have due praise from God. 6 These things, my Brethren, I have stated concerning the person of myself and of Apollos, for your sakes; that, in us, you might learn not to think of men, above what is written; and that no one might exalt himself in comparison with his fellow, on account of any person. 7 For who [examines] you? Or what have you, that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you glory, as if you did not receive it? 8 Now you are yourselves full, and enriched; and, without us, are on thrones! And I wish you were enthroned; so that we could also reign with you. 9 But I suppose, that God has placed us, the heralds* last, as for death; since we have become a spectacle to the world, to holy Messengers and to men. 10 We are fools, on account of Messiah; but you are wise in Messiah! We are feeble; but you are strong! you are lauded, we are condemned. 11 to this hour, we hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no permanent home: 12 and we toil, working with our own hands: they defame us, and we bless: they persecute us, and we endure it: 13 they revile us, and we entreat them: we are as the filth of the world, and the expiation for all men, up to this time. 14 I write these things, not to shame you; but I instruct you, as dear children. 15 For though you have a myriad of teachers in Messiah, yet not many fathers; for in Yeshua the Messiah, I have begotten you by preaching. 16 I implore you, therefore, that you be like me. 17 For this cause I have sent you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, that he might bring to your recollection my ways in Messiah, agreeably to what I teach in all the assemblies. 18 Now some of you are inflated, as though I would not dare come to you. 19 But I will come to you speedily, if God [is] willing: and I will know, not the speech of them who exalt themselves, but their power: 20 for the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 21 What do you want? will I come to you with the rod, or with love and a gentle spirit?

1st Corinthians 5: In short, it is reported, there is prostitution among you; and such prostitution as is not even named among the heathen, that a son should even take the wife of his father. 2 You are inflated, and have not rather sat down in grief, that he who has done this deed might be separated from you. 3 I, while distant from you in body but present with you in spirit, have already, as if present, judged him who perpetuates this deed; 4 that you all assemble together, in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and I with you in spirit, together with the energy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah; 5 and that you deliver him over to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that in spirit he may have life, in the day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. 6 Your boasting is not good. Dont you know, that a little leaven leavens the whole mix of dough? 7 Clean out your old leaven, so that you can be a new mix of dough, as you are unleavened. For the Messiah, our Passover, was sacrificed in our place. 8 So let’s celebrate the Feast [1], not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and bitterness, but with the leaven of purity and sanctity. 9 I wrote to you by letter, not to mingle with fornicators. 10 But I say not, with the fornicators who is in the world, nor speak I of the avaricious, or of the rapacious, or of the idol worshipers, otherwise you would be obliged to go out of the world. 11 But this is what I wrote to you, who you should not mingle, if any one is called a brother, and is a male prostitute, or avaricious, or an idol-worshipper, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, with him who is such, not even to eat bread. 12 For what business have I to judge them who is [outside]? But those within the body, judge you, 13 and those [outside], God judges; and remove you the wickedness from among you.

[1] Strong’s #1858, is often translated as “keep” in this verse, which is rather vague. It is a word used only once in the Bible. It literally means “celebrate the Feast”.

1st Corinthians 6: Dare any of you, when he has a controversy with his brother, litigate before the iniquitous, and not before the sanctified? 2 Or know you not, that the sanctified will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unfit to decide trivial causes? 3 Know you not, that we will judge holy Messengers? How much more things that are of the world? 4 But if you have a controversy about a worldly matter, seat you on the bench for you those who are condemned in the church! 5 For shame to you I say it. So, there is not even one wise man among you, who is competent to do equity between a brother and his brother: 6 but a brother litigates with his brother, and also before those who believe not! 7 Now therefore you condemn yourselves, in that you have litigation one with another. For why do you not rather suffer wrong? why not rather be defrauded? 8 But you yourselves commit wrong, and you defraud even your brethren. 9 Or do you not know, that the unrighteous wont inherit the kingdom of God? dont mistake; neither fornicators, nor idol-worshipers, nor adulterers, nor debauchers, nor liars with males, 10 nor the avaricious, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 These things have been in some of you: but you are washed, and are sanctified, and made righteous, in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and by the Spirit of our God. 12 Every thing is in my power: but every thing is not profitable to me. Every thing is in my power; but none of them will have dominion over me. 13 Food is for the belly; and the belly is for food; but God will bring them both to naught. But the body is not for prostitution, but for our Lord; and our Lord for the body. 14 God has raised up our Lord; and he will raise us up, by his power. 15 Know you not, that your bodies are the members of the Messiah? will one take a member of the Messiah, and make it the member of a harlot? Far be it. 16 Or know you not, that whoever joins himself to a harlot, is one body with her? For it is said, They twain will be one body. 17 But he who joins himself to our Lord, is with him one spirit. 18 Flee prostitution. for every other sin which a man commits, is external to his body; but he who commits prostitution, sins against his own body. 19 Or know you not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who abides in you, who you have received from God? And you arent your own. 20 For you are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify you God, with your body, and with your spirit, which are God’s.

1st Corinthians 7: Concerning the things of which you wrote to me, it is praiseworthy for a man not to approach a woman. 2 But, on account of prostitution, let each have his own wife and let a woman have her own husband. 3 Let the man render to his wife the kindness which is due; and so also the woman to her husband. 4 The woman is not the sovereign over her body, but her husband: so also the man is not the sovereign over his body, but the wife. 5 Therefore, deprive not one another, except when you both consent, at the time you devote yourselves to fasting and prayer; and return again to the same disposition, that Satan tempt you not because of the concupiscence of your body. 6 But this I say, as to weak persons, not of positive precept. 7 For I would that all men might be like me in purity. But every man is endowed with his gift of God; one thus, and another so. 8 I say to them who have no wives, and to widows, that it is advantageous to them to remain as I am. 9 But if they cant endure it, let them marry: for it is more profitable to take a wife, than to burn with concupiscence. 10 On them who have wives, I enjoin,-not I, but my Lord,-that the woman separate not from her husband. 11 If she separate, let her remain without a husband, or be reconciled to her husband; and let not the man put away his wife. 12 To the rest, say I,-I, not my Lord-that if there be a brother, who has a wife that believes not, and she is disposed to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13 That woman, who has a husband that believes not, and he is disposed to dwell with her let her not forsake her husband. 14 For the husband who believes not, is sanctified by the wife that believes; and the wife who believes not, is sanctified by the husband that believes: otherwise their children would be impure; but now are they pure. 15 But if the unbeliever separates, let him separate: A brother or sister is not in bondage in such cases: it is to peace, God has called us. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you’ll procure life to your husband? Or, you husband, know you, whether you’ll procure life to your wife? 17 Every one, however, as the Lord has distributed to him, and every one as God has called him, so let him walk. And also thus I enjoin on all the assemblies. 18 Is a circumcised person called, let him not revert to uncircumcised: and if one uncircumcised be called, let him not become circumcised. 19 For circumcision is nothing, neither is uncircumcised; but the keeping of God’s commands. 20 Let every one continue in the vocation, in which he was called. 21 If you were called, being a servant; let it not trouble you. But if you can be made free, choose it rather than to serve. 22 For he who is called by our Lord, being a servant, is God’s freedman: likewise, he who is called, being a free man, is the Messiah’s servant. 23 you are bought with a price; become not the servants of men. 24 Let every one, my Brethren, continue with God, in whatever state he was called. 25 Concerning virginity, I have no precept from God; but I give counsels as a man who has obtained mercy from God to be a believer. 26 I think this is suitable, on account of the necessity of the times; it is advantageous for a man to remain as he is. 27 are you bound to a wife? Seek not a release. are you free from a wife? Seek not a wife. 28 But if you take a wife, you dont sin. And if a maiden is given to a husband, she sins not. But they who is such, will have trouble in the body: but I am forbearing to you. 29 This I say, my Brethren, that the time to come is short; so that they who have wives, should be as if they had none; 30 and they who weep, as if they wept not; and they who rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they who buy, as if they acquired not; 31 and those occupied with this world, not going beyond the just using: for the fashion of this world is passing away. 32 Therefore I wish you to be without solicitude. For he who has not a wife, considers the thing of his Lord, how he may please his Lord. 33 He who has a wife, is anxious about the world, how he may please his wife. 34 There is a difference also between a wife and a maiden. She who is without a husband, thinks of things pertaining to her Lord, that she may be holy in her body and in her spirit. But she who has a husband, thinks of things pertaining to the world, how she may please her husband. 35 And this I say for your advantage; I am not laying a snare for you; but that you may be faithful towards your Lord, in a suitable manner, while not minding worldly things. 36 But if any one thinks that there is reproach, on account of his maiden daughter, because she has passed her time, and he has not presented her to a husband, and it be fitting that he present her; let him do what he desires, he sins not; let her be married. 37 But he who has firmly determined in his own mind, and nothing compels him, and he can act his own pleasure, and he so judges in his heart, that he keep his maiden daughter, he does commendably. 38 Therefore, he who presents his maiden daughter, does commendably; and he who presents not his maiden daughter, does very commendably. 39 A woman, while her husband lives, is bound by the law; but if her husband sleeps in death, she is free to marry who she pleases, yet only in the Lord. 40 But she is happier, in my opinion, if she remain so: and I think also, that I have the Spirit of God.

1st Corinthians 8: Concerning sacrifices to idols, we know, that in all of us there is knowledge; and knowledge inflates, but love edifies. 2 If any one thinks that he knows any thing he knows nothing yet, as he ought to know it. 3 But if any one loves God, that man is known of him. 4 As to the eating of the sacrifices of idols, therefore, we know that an idol is nothing in the world; and that there is no other God, but one. 5 For altho there are what are called gods, whether in heaven, or on earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many,) 6 yet to us, on our part, there is one God, the Father, from who are all things, and we in him; and one Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, by who are all things, and we also by him. 7 But there is not this knowledge in every man; for there are some, who, to the present time, in their conscience, eat it as an offering to idols; and because their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 But food doesnt bring us near to God; for if we eat, we dont abound; and if we eat not, we arent in want. 9 See to it, however, for fear that this your authority become a stumbling-block to the weak. 10 For if one should see you in who there is knowledge, reclining in the temple of idols, wont his conscience, seeing he is a weak person, be encouraged to eat what is sacrificed? 11 By your knowledge, he who is feeble, and on account of who the Messiah died, will perish. 12 If you thus sin against your brethren, and wound the consciences of the feeble, you sin against the Messiah. 13 therefore, if food is a stumbling-block to my brother, I will forever eat no flesh, for fear that I should be a stumbling-block to my brother.

1st Corinthians 9: Am I not a free man? Or, am I not a apostle? Or, have I not seen Yeshua the Messiah our Lord? Or, have you not been my work in my Lord? 2 If I have not been a emissary to others, yet I have been so to you; and you are the seal of my commission* [651]. 3 My apology to my judges, is this: 4 Have we not authority, to eat and to drink? 5 Or have we not authority to carry about with us a sister as a wife; just as the other emissaries*, and the brothers of our Lord, and as Cephas? 6 Or I only, and Barnabas, have we no right to forbear labor? 7 Who, that serves in war, does so at his own expense? Or who, that plants a vineyard, eats not of its fruits? Or who, that tends sheep, eats not of the milk of his flocks? 8 Is it as a man, I say these things? Look, the law also says them. 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, you’ll not muzzle the ox that threshes. has God regard for oxen? 10 But manifest it is, for whose sake he said it. And indeed, for our sakes it was written: because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher in hope of fruit. 11 If we have sown among you the things of the Spirit, is it a great matter, if we reap from you the things of the body? 12 If others have this prerogative over you, does it not belong still more to us? Yet we have not used this prerogative; but we have endured every thing, that we might in nothing impede the announcement of the Messiah. 13 Dont you know that those who serve in a temple, are fed from the temple, and those who serve at the altar, *are assigned meat from the altar? 14 So in this same manner Yehovah has arranged* [1299], for those who proclaim His Evangel, to live by His Evangel. 15 But I have used none of these things: and I write not, that it may be so done to me; for it would be better for me to actually die, than that anyone should make void my glorying. 16 For while I preach, I have no ground of glorying; because necessity is laid on me, and woe to me, if I preach not. 17 For if I do this voluntarily, there is compensation* for me: but if involuntarily, a stewardship is entrusted to me. 18 What then is my compensation*? It is, that when I preach, I make the announcement of the Messiah without cost, and use not the prerogative given me in the *Good News* 19 Being free from them all, I have made myself servant to every man; that I might gain many: 20 and with the Jews, I was as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; and with those under the law, I was as under the law, that I might gain them who is under the law; 21 and to those who have not the law, I was as without the law, (altho I am not without law to God, but under the law of the Messiah,) that I might gain those who are without the law. 22 I was with the weak, as weak, that I might gain the weak: I was all things to all men, that I might endow with life every one. 23 This I do, that I may participate in the announcement. 24 Know you not that they who run in the stadium, run all of them; yet it is one who gains the victory. Run you, so as to attain. 25 for every one who engages in the contest, restrains his desires in every thing. And they run, to obtain a crown that perishes; but we, one that perishes not. 26 I therefore so run, not as for something unknown; and I so struggle, not as struggling against air; 27 but I subdue my body, and reduce it to servitude; for fear that, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a reprobate.

1st Corinthians 10: My Brethren, I would have you know, that our fathers were all of them under the cloud, and they all passed thru the sea; 2 and they were all immersed* by Moses, in the cloud and in the sea; 3 and they all ate the same spiritual food; 4 and they all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that attended them, and that rock was the Messiah. 5 But with a multitude of them, God was not pleased; for they fell in the wilderness. 6 Now these things were an example for us, that we should not hanker after evil things as they hankered. 7 Neither should we serve idols, as some of them served; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to sport. 8 Neither let us commit prostitution, as some of them committed; and there fell in one day twenty and three thousand. 9 Neither let us tempt the Messiah, as some of them tempted; and serpents destroyed them. 10 Neither murmur you, as some of them murmured; and they perished by the destroyer. 11 All these things which befell them, were for an example to us; and they are written for our instruction, on who the end of the world has come. 12 therefore, let him who thinks he stands, beware for fear that he fall. 13 No trial comes on you, but what pertains to men: and God is faithful, who wont permit you to be tried beyond your ability, but will make an issue to your trial, that you may be able to sustain it. 14 therefore, my Beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to the wise; judge you what I say. 16 The cup of thanksgiving which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of the Messiah? And the bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of the Messiah? 17 As therefore that bread is one, so we are all one body; for we all take to ourselves from that one bread. 18 Look the Israel who is in the flesh; arent they who eat the victims, participators of the altar? 19 What then do I say? That an idol is any thing? Or, that an idol’s sacrifice is any thing? No. 20 But that what the Nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. And I would not, that you should be associates of demons. 21 you cant drink the cup of our Lord, and the cup of demons; and you cant be partakers at the table of our Lord, and at the table of demons. 22 Or, would we sedulously provoke our Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than he? 23 Every thing is in my power; but every thing is not profitable. Everything is in my power; but everything doesnt edify. 24 Let no one seek his own things, but also the things of his fellow-man. 25 Whatever is sold in the flesh-market, eat you, without an inquiry on account of conscience: 26 for the earth is the Lord’s, in its fullness. 27 If one of the Nations invite you, and you are disposed to go, eat you whatever is set before you, without an inquiry on account of conscience. 28 But if anyone will say to you, This pertains to a sacrifice; eat not, for the sake of him who told you, and for conscience’s sake. 29 The conscience I speak of, is not your own, but his who told you. But why is my liberty judged of, by the conscience of others? 30 If I by *merciful kindness* partake, why am I reproached for that, for which I give thanks? 31 If therefore you eat, or if you drink, or if you do any thing, do all things for the praise of God. 32 You are without offence to the Jews, and to the Nations, and to the assembly of God: 33 even as I also, in every thing, please every man; and dont seek what is profitable to me, but what is profitable to many; that they may live.
