17
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the
doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus
Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
19
For your obedience is come abroad unto all
men.
I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I
would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
20
And the God of peace
shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be
with you. Amen.
21
Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
22
I Tertius, who wrote
this
epistle, salute you in the Lord.
23
Gaius mine host, and of the whole
church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
24
The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be
with you all. Amen.
25
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of
Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world
began,
26
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the
commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
27
To
God only wise,
be
glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the
Corinthians
CHAPTER CORINTHIANS 1
Paul, called
to be
an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes
our
brother,
2
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called
to
be
saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and
ours:
3
Grace
be
unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and
from
the Lord Jesus Christ.
4
I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
5
That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and
in
all knowledge;
6
Even as the
testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
8
Who shall also confirm you unto the end,
that ye may be
blameless
in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9
God
is
faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship
of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same
thing, and
that
there be no divisions among you; but
that
ye be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment.
11
For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them
which are of the house
of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12
Now this I say, that every
one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13
Is Christ divided?
