1 Corinthians 9:19Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.1 Corinthians 9:20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.1 Corinthians 9:21To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.1 Corinthians 9:22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.1 Corinthians 9:23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.1 Corinthians 9:27No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.1 Corinthians 10:23“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.1 Corinthians 10:28But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—1 Corinthians 10:29the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?1 Corinthians 10:30If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?1 Corinthians 10:31So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.1 Corinthians 10:32Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—1 Corinthians 10:33as I also try to please everyone in all I do. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.1 Corinthians 11:1You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.1 Corinthians 11:2Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.1 Corinthians 11:18First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.1 Corinthians 11:19And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.1 Corinthians 15:10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.1 Corinthians 15:11Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.1 Corinthians 16:15You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,1 Corinthians 16:16to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.2 Corinthians 1:1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:2 Corinthians 1:11as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.2 Corinthians 1:14as you have already understood us in part, that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.2 Corinthians 1:15Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.2 Corinthians 1:24Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.2 Corinthians 2:14But thanks be to God, who always leads us triumphantly as captives in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.2 Corinthians 2:15For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.2 Corinthians 2:16To the one we are an odor that brings death, to the other a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?2 Corinthians 2:17For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.2 Corinthians 3:2You yourselves are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by everyone.2 Corinthians 3:3It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.2 Corinthians 3:6And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.2 Corinthians 3:7Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,2 Corinthians 3:8will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?2 Corinthians 3:9For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry of righteousness!2 Corinthians 3:10Indeed, what was once glorious has no glory now in comparison to the glory that surpasses it.2 Corinthians 3:11For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!2 Corinthians 4:1Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this ministry, we do not lose heart.2 Corinthians 4:2Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not practice deceit, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by open proclamation of the truth, we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.2 Corinthians 4:3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.2 Corinthians 4:4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.2 Corinthians 4:5For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.2 Corinthians 4:6For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.2 Corinthians 4:7Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.2 Corinthians 4:8We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;2 Corinthians 4:9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.2 Corinthians 4:10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.2 Corinthians 5:11Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.2 Corinthians 5:14For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.2 Corinthians 5:18All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:2 Corinthians 5:19that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.2 Corinthians 5:20Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.2 Corinthians 6:1As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.2 Corinthians 6:3We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no one can discredit our ministry.2 Corinthians 6:4Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, and calamities;2 Corinthians 6:5in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger;2 Corinthians 6:6in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;2 Corinthians 6:7in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;2 Corinthians 6:8through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine;
