1 Corinthians 4:12We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;1 Corinthians 4:13when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.1 Corinthians 4:14I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.1 Corinthians 4:15Even if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.1 Corinthians 4:16Therefore I urge you to imitate me.1 Corinthians 4:17That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.1 Corinthians 4:18Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.1 Corinthians 4:19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.1 Corinthians 4:20For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.1 Corinthians 4:21Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?1 Corinthians 5:8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.1 Corinthians 7:29What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;1 Corinthians 7:30those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;1 Corinthians 7:31and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.1 Corinthians 7:32I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.1 Corinthians 7:33But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,1 Corinthians 7:34and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.1 Corinthians 9:12If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.1 Corinthians 9:15But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let anyone nullify my boast.1 Corinthians 9:16Yet when I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am obligated to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!1 Corinthians 9:17If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.1 Corinthians 9:18What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.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 10:33as 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 13:1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.1 Corinthians 13:3If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.1 Corinthians 14:12It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.1 Corinthians 15:1Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm.1 Corinthians 15:2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.1 Corinthians 15:3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,1 Corinthians 15:4that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,1 Corinthians 15:5and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.1 Corinthians 15:6After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.1 Corinthians 15:7Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.1 Corinthians 15:8And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.1 Corinthians 15:9For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.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 15:12But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?1 Corinthians 15:13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.1 Corinthians 15:14And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.1 Corinthians 15:15In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.1 Corinthians 15:16For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.1 Corinthians 15:17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.1 Corinthians 15:18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.1 Corinthians 15:19If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.1 Corinthians 15:20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.1 Corinthians 15:21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.1 Corinthians 15:22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.1 Corinthians 15:23But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.1 Corinthians 15:24Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.1 Corinthians 15:25For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.1 Corinthians 15:26The last enemy to be destroyed is death.1 Corinthians 15:27For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.
