30 day study of the words of Paul ================================= Day 9 1CO 09:13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live [of the things] of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? 1CO 09:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. 1CO 09:15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for [it were] better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 1CO 09:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 1CO 09:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation [of the gospel] is committed unto me. 1CO 09:18 What is my reward then? [Verily] that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 1CO 09:19 For though I be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 1CO 09:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 1CO 09:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 1CO 09:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all [men], that I might by all means save some. 1CO 09:23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with [you]. 1CO 09:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 1CO 09:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 1CO 09:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 1CO 09:27 But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1CO 10:01 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 1CO 10:02 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 1CO 10:03 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 1CO 10:04 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 1CO 10:05 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 1CO 10:06 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 1CO 10:07 Neither be ye idolaters, as [were] some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 1CO 10:08 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 1CO 10:09 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 1CO 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 1CO 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 1CO 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 1CO 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it]. 1CO 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 1CO 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 1CO 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 1CO 10:17 For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 1CO 10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 1CO 10:19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 1CO 10:20 But I [say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 1CO 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 1CO 10:22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 1CO 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 1CO 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's [wealth]. 1CO 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, [that] eat, asking no question for conscience sake: 1CO 10:26 For the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. 1CO 10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you [to a feast], and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. 1CO 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: 1CO 10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another [man's] conscience? 1CO 10:30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 1CO 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1CO 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 1CO 10:33 Even as I please all [men] in all [things], not seeking mine own profit, but the [profit] of many, that they may be saved. 1CO 11:01 Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ. 1CO 11:02 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you. 1CO 11:03 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God. 1CO 11:04 Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonoureth his head. 1CO 11:05 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 1CO 11:06 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. 1CO 11:07 For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 1CO 11:08 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 1CO 11:09 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 1CO 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels. 1CO 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 1CO 11:12 For as the woman [is] of the man, even so [is] the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 1CO 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 1CO 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 1CO 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering. 1CO 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. 1CO 11:17 Now in this that I declare [unto you] I praise [you] not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. 1CO 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 1CO 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 1CO 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, [this] is not to eat the Lord's supper. 1CO 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before [other] his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 1CO 11:22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise [you] not. 1CO 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was betrayed took bread: 1CO 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 1CO 11:25 After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me. 1CO 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come. 1CO 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink [this] cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 1CO 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup. 1CO 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 1CO 11:30 For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 1CO 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 1CO 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 1CO 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. ~~~~~~
