(Which have for my life laid down their own neck. Unto whom not I only give thanks, but also all the Churches of the Gentiles.)
-
Likewise greet the Church that is in their house. Salute my beloved Epaenetus, which is the firstfruits of Achaia in Christ.
-
Salute one another with an holy kiss. The Churches of Christ salute you.
-
Gaius mine host, and of the whole Church saluteth you. Erastus the steward of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
-
To God, I say, only wise, be praise through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Written to the Romans from Corinth, and sent by Phoebe, servant of the Church which is at Cenchrea.
-
Unto the Church of God, which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, Saints by calling, with all that call on the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both their Lord, and ours:
-
For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, which is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my ways in Christ as I teach everywhere in every Church.
-
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them up which are least esteemed in the Church.
-
But as God hath distributeth to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk: and so ordain I in all Churches.
-
Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Grecians, nor to the Church of God:
-
But if any man list to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the Churches of God.
-
For first of all, when ye come together in the Church, I hear that there are dissensions among you: and I believe it to be true in some part.
-
Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? 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.
-
And God hath ordained some in the Church: as first Apostles, secondly Prophets, thirdly teachers, then them that do miracles: after that, the gifts of healing, helpers, governors, diversity of tongues.
-
He that speaketh strange language, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the Church.
-
I would that ye all spake strange languages, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh diverse tongues, except he expound it, that the Church may receive edification.
-
Even so, forasmuch as ye covet spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel unto the edifying of the Church.
-
Yet had I rather in the Church to speak five words with mine understanding, that I might also instruct others, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.
-
If therefore, when the whole Church is come together in one, and all speak strange tongues, there come in they that are unlearned, or they which believe not, will they not say, that ye are out of your wits?
-
But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the Church, which speaketh languages, and let him speak to himself, and to God.
-
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as we see in all the Churches of the Saints.
-
Let your women keep silence in the Churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak: but they ought to be subject, as also the Law saith.
-
And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the Church.

1 The Gospel that Paul preached. 3 The death and resurrection of Christ. 8 Paul saw Christ. 9 He had persecuted that Church, whereof afterward he was made a minister. 12 Christ first rose again, and we all shall rise by him. 26 The last enemy, death. 29 To be baptized for dead. 32 At Ephesus Paul fought with beasts. 35 How the dead are raised. 45 The first Adam. The last Adam, 47 The first and second man. 51 We shall all be changed, we shall not all sleep. 55 Death’s sting. 57 Victory. 58 Constancy and steadfastness. Moreover brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which ye have also received, and wherein ye continue,
-
For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not meet to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
