And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him who put all things under him, so that God may be all in all.

Awake your hearts to righteousness and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I say this to your shame.

But God gives it a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed, its own natural body.

Now this I say, my brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

But thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ.

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Ti-mo''the-us our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all A-cha''ia:

Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ.

Blessed be God, even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;

Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we also may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, by the very comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

And we decided to die, not trusting in ourselves but in God who raises the dead:

For our joy is this, the testimony of our conscience, in sincerity and in purity with the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in this world, and not through the wisdom of the flesh; and above all, we have so dealt with you.

But as God is true, our word to you was not yes and no.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Ti-mo''the-us, was not yes and no, but with him always yes.

For all the promises of God were in Christ, yes; therefore by his hand, we are given Amen to the glory of God.

Now it is God who has confirmed us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us;

Moreover I testify to God concerning myself, that it was because I wanted to spare you, that I did not come to Corinth.

Now thanks be to God, who has made us in the pattern of Christ, and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge through us in every place.

For we are a sweet savour to God through Christ, in those who are saved and in those who perish:

For we are not like those who corrupt the word of God: but according to the truth, and as men of God we speak through Christ in the sight of God.

For you are known to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the spirit of the Living God; not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of the living heart.
