The Berean Standard Bible is shown; switch to the King James or American Standard Version.

1. 1:1

   Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2. 1:2

   To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

3. 1:3

   Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4. 1:4

   I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.

5. 1:6

   because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.

6. 1:7

   Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7. 1:8

   He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8. 1:9

   God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

9. 1:10

   I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

10. 1:12

    What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”

11. 1:13

    Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?

12. 1:17

    For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

13. 1:23

    but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

14. 1:24

    but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

15. 1:30

    It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

16. 1:31

    Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

17. 2:2

    For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

18. 2:8

    None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

19. 2:16

    “For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

20. 3:1

    Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.

21. 3:5

    What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.

22. 3:11

    For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

23. 3:20

    And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”

24. 3:23

    and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

25. 4:1

    So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

26. 4:4

    My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.

27. 4:5

    Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

28. 4:10

    We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.

29. 4:15

    Even 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.

30. 4:17

    That 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.

31. 4:19

    But 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.

32. 5:4

    When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,

33. 5:5

    hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

34. 5:7

    Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

35. 6:11

    And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

36. 6:13

    “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will destroy them both. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

37. 6:14

    By His power God raised the Lord from the dead, and He will raise us also.

38. 6:15

    Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

39. 6:17

    But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.

40. 7:10

    To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.

41. 7:12

    To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If a brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.

42. 7:17

    Regardless, each one should lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is what I prescribe in all the churches.

43. 7:22

    For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman. Conversely, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.

44. 7:25

    Now about virgins, I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.

45. 7:32

    I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.

46. 7:34

    and 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.

47. 7:35

    I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but in order to promote proper decorum and undivided devotion to the Lord.

48. 7:39

    A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, as long as he belongs to the Lord.

49. 8:6

    yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.

50. 8:11

    So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.

51. 8:12

    By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

52. 9:1

    Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you yourselves not my workmanship in the Lord?

53. 9:2

    Even if I am not an apostle to others, surely I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

54. 9:5

    Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?

55. 9:12

    If 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.

56. 9:14

    In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

57. 9:18

    What 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.

58. 9:21

    To 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.

59. 10:4

    and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

60. 10:9

    We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.

61. 10:16

    Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

62. 10:21

    You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.

63. 10:22

    Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

64. 11:1

    You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

65. 11:3

    But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

66. 11:11

    In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

67. 11:23

    For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread,

68. 11:27

    Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.

69. 11:32

    But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

70. 12:3

    Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

71. 12:5

    There are different ministries, but the same Lord.

72. 12:12

    The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

73. 12:27

    Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.

74. 14:21

    It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”

75. 14:37

    If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.

76. 15:3

    For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

77. 15:12

    But 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?

78. 15:13

    If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.

79. 15:14

    And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.

80. 15:15

    In 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.

81. 15:16

    For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.

82. 15:17

    And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

83. 15:18

    Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

84. 15:19

    If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.

85. 15:20

    But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

86. 15:22

    For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

87. 15:23

    But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.

88. 15:28

    And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.

89. 15:31

    I face death every day, brothers, as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

90. 15:47

    The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.

91. 15:57

    But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

92. 15:58

    Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

93. 16:2

    On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.

94. 16:7

    For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

95. 16:10

    If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

96. 16:19

    The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.

97. 16:22

    If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!

98. 16:23

    The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

99. 16:24

    My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
