α. Paul, 

β. called to be an apostle 

α.            χ. of Jesus Christ 

ο. through the will of God, 

ω. and Sosthenes our brother, (1:1)

α. unto the church of God which is at Corinth, 

β. to them that are sanctified 

β. j          χ. in Christ Jesus, 

ο. called to be saints, 

ω. with all that are calling on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours: (1:2)

χ.  grace be unto you, and peace, 

from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (1:3)

α. I thank my God always [πάντοτε] on your behalf, 

β. for the grace of God which is given you by Christ Jesus; (1:4)

ο. t          χ. that in everything [ἐν παντὶ]

ο. ye were enriched by him, 

ω. in all [ἐν παντὶ] utterance and all knowledge; (1:5)

α. even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: (1:6)

β. so that ye come behind in no gift; 

ξ. eagerly awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ: (1:7)

ω.jο. who shall also confirm you until the end 

ω. unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1:8)

ς. God is faithful, 

ζ. by whom ye were called 

η. unto the communion of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. (1:9)

α.  Now I beseech you, brethren, 

by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

β.  that ye all speak the same thing, 

and that there be no schisms among you; 

ς. but that ye be properly aligned 

Α.                      ξ. ''  ζ. in the same mind 

η. and in the same resolve. (1:10)

ο.  For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, 

by those of Chloe’s family, 

ω. that there are contentions among you. (1:11)

____________________________

α. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, 

β. I am of Paul; 

α.            χ. and I of Apollos; 

ο. and I of Cephas; 

ω. and I of Christ. (1:12)

β.  Is Christ divided? 

Β.                                χ.  was Paul crucified for you? 

ο.  or in the name of Paul were ye baptized? (1:13)

α. I thank God that none of you did I baptize 

β. except Crispus and Gaius; (1:14)

ω.           χ. lest any should say that in mine own name did I baptize. (1:15)

ο. But I baptized also Stephanas’s household: 

ω. besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. (1:16)

____________________________

α.  For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to evangelize: 

not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. (1:17)

β.  For the message of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; 

but unto us which are being saved it is the power of God. (1:18)

Χ.                      χ.  For it is written, I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, 

AND WILL BRING TO NOUGHT THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRUDENT [Is. 29:14]. (1:19)

ο.  Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? 

Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (1:20)

ω. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, 

it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that are faithful. (1:21)

____________________________

α.  For the Judeans require a sign, 

and the Greeks seek after wisdom: (1:22)

β.  but we preach Christ crucified, 

Ο.                      ξ.  unto the Judeans a stumblingblock, 

and unto the Greeks foolishness; (1:23)

ο.  but unto them which are called, both Judeans and Greeks, 

ω. Christ the power of God, 

and the wisdom of God. (1:24)

____________________________

ς. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; 

α.       ζ. and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1:25)

η. For ye see your calling, brethren, 

β.  how that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble — (1:26)

    but the foolish things of the world 

ς.       did God choose, 

    in order to bring to shame the wise; 

    and the weak things of the world 

ζ.       did God choose, 

Ω.                                     χ.                           in order to bring to shame the things which are mighty; (1:27)

    and the base things of the world, 

    and the things which are despised 

η.       did God choose, 

    even the things which are not, 

    in order to abolish the things that are: (1:28)

ο.  so that no single flesh should boast before God. (1:29)

ς. But because of him ye are in Christ Jesus, 

ω.      ζ. who is made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: (1:30)

η. that, according as it is written, HE THAT BOASTETH, IN THE LORD LET HIM BOAST [Jer. 9:23]. (1:31)

ς. And I, when I came to you, brethren, 

α.    ζ. came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, 

η. announcing unto you the testimony of God. (2:1)

β.  For I determined not to know any thing among you, 

Α.                             χ.  except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. (2:2)

ο.  And I in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling was with you. (2:3)

ς. And my speech and my preaching was not with persuasive words of human wisdom, 

ω. '' ζ. but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: (2:4)

η. that your faithfulness might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. (2:5)

____________________________

α.  Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: 

β.  yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: (2:6)

ς. but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, 

Β.                      χ. ''  ζ. even the hidden wisdom, 

η. which God ordained before the world unto our glory: (2:7)

ο.  which none of the princes of this world knew: 

ω.  for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (2:8)

____________________________

α. But as it is written, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, 

   β. NEITHER HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN, 

Χ.                  ξ. THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM [Is. 64:4]. (2:9)

ο. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: 

   ω. for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (2:10)

____________________________

α.  For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? 

even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. (2:11)

    ς. Now, not the spirit of the world 

β. j ζ. have we received, 

    η. but the Spirit which is from God; 

Ο.                       χ. 'that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. (2:12)

    ς. Which things also we speak, 

ο. t ζ. not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, 

    η. but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; 

ω.  rendering Spiritual things to those that are Spiritual. (2:13)

____________________________

ς. But the natural [ψυχικὸς] man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: 

ς.       ζ. for they are foolishness unto him: 

η. neither can he know them, because they are Spiritually discerned. (2:14)

Ω. tj             ς. But he that is Spiritual judgeth all things, 

ζ.       ζ. yet he himself is judged of no man. (2:15)

η. For WHO HATH KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM? [Is. 40:13] 

η.  But we have the mind of Christ. (2:16)

α.  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto Spiritual, 

but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. (3:1)

β.  I have fed you with milk, and not with solid food: 

for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. (3:2)

Α.                             ξ.  For ye are yet carnal: 

ο.  for whereas among you are envying, and strife, and divisions, 

are ye not carnal, and walk as men? (3:3)

ω. For while one saith, “I am of Paul”; and another, “I am of Apollos”; 

are ye not carnal? (3:4)

____________________________

α.  Who then is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministers through whom ye were faithful, 

    even as the Lord gave to each? (3:5)

β.  I have planted, Apollos watered, 

α. but God gave the increase; (3:6)

β. so then neither is he that planteth 

Β.                            χ.            χ. anything, 

ο. neither he that watereth, 

ω‘. but God that giveth the increase. (3:7)

ο.  Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: 

    and each shall receive his own reward 

ω. according to his own labour. (3:8)

_________________________

ς. For we are God’s co-workers; 

Χ. j    ζ. God’s farmland, yea, 

η. God’s building ye are. (3:9)

_________________________

α.  According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, 

I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. 

β.  But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. (3:10)

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (3:11)

   Now if any man build upon this foundation 

ς. t gold, silver; precious stones, wood; hay, stubble; (3:12)

   every man’s work shall be made manifest: 

   for the day shall declare it, 

Ο.                       ξ. t         ζ.   because it shall be revealed by fire; 

   and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. (3:13)

   If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. (3:14)

η. t If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: 

   but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire. (3:15)

ο.  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, 

and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (3:16) (cf. 6:19)

ω. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; 

for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (3:17)

____________________________

α.  Let no man deceive himself. 

If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, 

β. j     let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (3:18)

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 

ξ.  For it is written, HE TAKETH THE WISE IN THEIR OWN CRAFTINESS [Job 5:13]. (3:19)

Ω. t                                        And again, THE LORD KNOWETH THE THOUGHTS OF THE WISE, THAT THEY ARE VAIN [Ps. 93:11]. (3:20)

ο.  Thus let no one boast in men. 

For everything is yours; (3:21)

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas — or the world; 

ω. ''         or life, or death; or things present, or things to come; 

everything is yours; (3:22)

and ye are Christ’s — and Christ is God’s. (3:23)

α. Let a man so account of us, 

'' β. as of the underlings of Christ, 

Α. tj             ξ. and stewards of the mysteries of God. (4:1)

ο. Moreover it is required in stewards, 

'' ω. that a man be found faithful. (4:2)

____________________________

α. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by any man’s court [ἡμέρας]: 

'' β. yea, I judge not mine own self. (4:3)

Β.                 χ. For I know nothing by myself; 

'' ο. yet am I not hereby justified: 

ω. but he that judgeth me is the Lord. (4:4)

____________________________

ς.  Therefore judge nothing before the time, 

until the Lord come, 

Χ. '       ζ.  who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, 

  and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: 

η.  and then shall each man have praise of God. (4:5)

____________________________

α.  And these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; 

'' β.  that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, 

'' that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. (4:6)

Ο. ''              ξ. For who maketh thee to discriminate? 

ο.  and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? 

'' ω. now if thou didst receive it, 

'' why dost thou boast as if thou hadst not received it? (4:7)

____________________________

α. Now ye are glutted, 

'' β. now ye wax rich, 

Ω.  jj            ξ. ye have reigned without us: 

ο. and I would that ye did reign, 

'' ω. that we also might reign with you. (4:8)

α. For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: 

'' β. for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. (4:9)

Α. tj             ξ. We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; 

ο. we are weak, but ye are strong; 

'' ω. ye are honourable, but we are despised. (4:10)

____________________________

    α. Up to this present hour, we both hunger and thirst, 

   β. and go naked, 

α.          χ. and are buffeted, 

   ο. and go homeless; (4:11)

    ω. and labour, working with our own hands: 

β. being reviled, we bless; 

Β.                      χ. being persecuted, we suffer it: (4:12)

ο. being defamed, we intreat: 

ω. we are made as the filth of the world, 

the offscouring of all things, unto the present. (4:13)

_____________________

Χ.  Not to shame you do I write these things, 

_____________________

α. but as my beloved sons I inform you. (4:14)

'' β. For though ye have myriad instructors in Christ, 

Ο. ''              χ. yet have ye not many fathers: 

'' ο. for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. (4:15)

ω. Wherefore I intreat you, be ye imitators of me. (4:16) (cf. 11:1)

____________________________

α. For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, 

'' β. who is my beloved son, 

Ω.  jj            ξ. and faithful in the Lord, 

ο. who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, 

'' ω. as I teach every where in every church. (4:17)

α. Now — as though I would not come to you — some are puffed up. (4:18)

'' β. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, 

Α. tj             χ. and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. (4:19)

'' ο. For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. (4:20)

ω. What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and the spirit of meekness? (4:21)

____________________________

α. It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, 

'' β. and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, 

Β. tj             ξ. that one should have his father’s wife. (5:1)

ο. And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, 

'' ω. that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. (5:2)

____________________________

α. For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, 

'' β. have judged already as though present concerning him that hath so done this deed; (5:3)

ς. when in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

Χ.                  χ. t ζ. ye and my spirit are gathered together; 

η. with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ (5:4)

'' ο. to deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, 

ω. that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. (5:5)

____________________________

α. Your boasting is not good. 

    ς. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? (5:6)

β. j ζ. Purge out therefore the old leaven, 

    η. that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. 

Ο. tj                  ξ. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: (5:7)

ο. therefore let us keep the feast, 

    ς. not with old leaven, 

ω.t ζ. neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; 

    η. but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (5:8)

____________________________

α.  I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: (5:9)

    ς. yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, 

β. j ζ. or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; 

    η. for then must ye needs go out of the world. (5:10)

α. But now I have written unto you not to keep company if any man that is called a brother be 

β. a fornicator, or a coveter, 

Ω.                      χ. j          χ. or an idolater, or a reviler, 

ο. or a drunkard, or a robber; 

ω. with such an one no not to eat. (5:11) (cf. 6:10)

    ς. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? 

ο. j ζ. do not ye judge them that are within? (5:12)

    η. But them that are without God judgeth. 

ω.  Therefore PUT AWAY FROM AMONG YOURSELVES THAT EVIL [Deut. 17:7, 19:19 et al.]. (5:13)

PART Α. — On not suing each other.

α. Dare any of you, having a matter against another, 

'' β. go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? (6:1)

Α.                  χ. Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? 

'' ο. and if the world shall be judged by you, 

ω. are ye unworthy of the smallest judgments? (6:2)

1. Know ye not that we shall judge angels? 

Β. j     10. how much more things that pertain to this life? (6:3)

 10’. If then ye conduct judgments of things pertaining to this life, 

1’. set them to judge that are nobodies within the church. (6:4)

Χ.  I speak to your shame. 

1. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? 

Ο. j     10. no, not one capable of adjudicating between his brethren? (6:5)

 10’. But brother goeth to be judged with brother, 

1’. and that before the unfaithful. (6:6)

α. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, 

'' β. because ye conduct judgments one with another. 

Ω. '                ξ. Why do ye not rather suffer unrighteous treatment? 

 ''   why do ye not rather suffer to be defrauded? (6:7)

ο. Nay, ye do wrong, 

'' ω. and defraud, and that your brethren. (6:8)

_________________________________________________________________

PART Β. — On fornication.

α₁. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? 

 Be not deceived: 

 α. neither fornicators,                                                   α’. nor thieves, 

 β. nor idolaters, '                                                            β’. nor coveters, 

α₁₀. t             χ. nor adulterers, t                                                         χ’. nor drunkards,

 ω. nor the men that have sex with them, (6:9) j      ω’. nor robbers, (cf. 5:11)

Α. tj             β. And such were some of you: 

χ. but ye are washed, 

ο. but ye are sanctified [set apart], 

ω₁.t but ye are made righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

ω₁₀. and by the Spirit of our God. (6:11)

α.  All things are permissible to me, 

but not all things are beneficial: 

β.  all things are permissible to me, 

but I will not be brought under the power of any. (6:12) (cf. 10:23)

Β. ''                   ξ.j Foods for the belly, and the belly for the foods: 

but God shall destroy both it and them. 

ο.  Now the body is not for fornication, 

but for the Lord; 

ω.tand the Lord 

for the body. (6:13)

Χ.  And God both hath raised up the Lord, 

 and will also raise up us by his power. (6:14)

α.  Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? 

β.  shall I then take the members of Christ, 

and make them the members of an harlot? 

Ο.                      ξ.jBy no means. (6:15)

ο.  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? 

ω.tfor THE TWO, it saith, SHALL BE ONE FLESH [Gen. 2:24]. (6:16)

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one Spirit. (6:17)

α.  Flee fornication. 

β.  Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; 

but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. (6:18)

1. What? know ye not that your body is the temple 

Ω.                           ξ.j        10. of the Holy Spirit which is in you, 

  10’. which ye have of God, 

1’. and ye are not your own? (6:19) (cf. 3:16)

ο.  For ye are bought with a price: (cf. 7:23)

ω. therefore glorify God in your body, 

[and in your spirit, which is God’s.] (6:20)

_________________________________________________________________

PART Χ. — On marriage and celibacy.

Intro: Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: 

 1. It is good for a man not to touch a woman. (7:1)

Α.  1’. Nevertheless, on account of fornications, 

   10. let every man have his own wife, 

   10’. and let every woman have her own husband. (7:2)

 1. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: 

Β.j 1’. and likewise also the wife unto the husband. (7:3)

   10. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: 

   10’. and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. (7:4)

 1. Defraud ye not one the other, 

Χ.         10. except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; 

 1’. and come together again, 

   10’. that Satan not tempt you for your incontinency. (7:5)

 1. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. (7:6)

Ο.  1’. For I would that all men were even as I myself. 

   10. But every man hath his proper gift of God, 

   10’. one after this manner, and another after that. (7:7)

 1. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, 

Ω.  1’. it is good for them if they abide even as I. (7:8)

   10. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: 

   10’. for it is better to marry than to be inflamed. (7:9)

_________________________________________________________________

PART Ο. — On divorce.

 Intro: And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, 

 1. Let not the wife depart from her husband: (7:10)

Α.         10. but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, 

   10’. or be reconciled to her husband: 

 1’. and let not the husband put away his wife. (7:11)

 Intro: But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: 

 1.’ If any brother hath a wife that hath not faithfulness, and she be pleased to dwell with him, 

Β. t       10. let him not put her away. (7:12)

 1’. And the woman which hath an husband that hath not faithfulness, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, 

   10’. let her not leave him. (7:13)

 1. For the faithless husband is sanctified by the wife, 

Ξ.t 1’. and the faithless wife is sanctified by the husband: 

   10. else were your children unclean; 

   10’. but now are they holy. (7:14)

 1. But if the faithless depart, 

Ο.  1’. let them depart. 

   10. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: 

   10’. but God hath called us to peace. (7:15)

 1. For what knowest thou, O wife, 

Ω.         10. whether thou shalt save thy husband? 

 1’. or how knowest thou, O man, 

   10’. whether thou shalt save thy wife? (7:16)

_________________________________________________________________

PART Ω. — Whether circumcised or foreskinned, servant or free, abide with God.

1. But as God hath distributed to every man, 

Α. 1’. as the Lord hath called every one, 

   10. so let him walk. 

   10’. And so ordain I in all churches. (7:17)

1. Is anyone called being circumcised? 

Β. t       10. let him not pull skin over himself. 

1’. Is any called in foreskinnedness? 

   10’. let him not be circumcised. (7:18)

1. Circumcision is nothing, 

Χ. 1’. and foreskinnedness is nothing, 

   10. but the keeping of the commandments of God; (7:19)

   10’. let each man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. (7:20)

1. Art thou called being a servant? let it not concern you: 

Ο.         10. but if thou art able to be made free, use it rather. (7:21)

1’. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: 

   10’. likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant. (7:22)

1. With a price, ye are bought; (cf. 6:20)

Ω. 1’. be not ye the servants of men. (7:23)

   10. Let each man wherein he is called, brethren,

   10’. therein abide with God. (7:24)

PART Α. — Concerning virgins and material cares.

α.  Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: 

yet I give my counsel, as one that the Lord hath had mercy on to be faithful. (7:25)

β.  I suppose therefore that this is good for the present necessity, 

that it is good for a man so to be. (7:26)

Α.                       χ.  Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. 

 Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. (7:27)

ο.  But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; 

and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. 

ω. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: 

but I spare you. (7:28)

α.  But this I say, brethren, the time hath grown short: 

β.  it remaineth, that both they that have wives 

be as though not so having; (7:29)

Β.                      χ.  and they that weep, as though not weeping; 

and they that rejoice, as though not rejoicing; 

ο.  and they that buy, as though not possessing; (7:30)

and they that use this world, as though not abusing it: 

ω.  for the fashion of this world passeth away. (7:31)

α.  But I would have you without cares. 

1. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, 

β. j     10. how he may please the Lord: (7:32)

1’. but he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, 

10’. how he may please his wife. (7:33)

χ.  There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. 

Χ. t              1. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, 

ο. j     10. that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: 

1’. but she that is married careth for the things of the world, 

10’. how she may please her husband. (7:34)

1. And this I speak for your own profit; 

ω. t    10. not that I may cast a noose upon you, 

1’. but for that which is comely 

10’. and well attentive unto the Lord without encumbrance. (7:35)

 1. But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, 

 1.j 1’. if it be past the time, and so she ought to be married, 

 10. let him do what he will, 

 10’. he sinneth not: let them marry. (7:36)

 1. Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, 

Ο.  1’.j1’. having no necessity, 

 10. but hath authority over his own will, 

 10’. and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. (7:37)

   10. So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; 

   10’. but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. (7:38)

α. The wife is bound by the Torah as long as her husband liveth; 

j β. but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; 

Ω. ''              χ. only in the Lord. (7:39)

j ο. But she is happier if she so abide, according to my counsel: 

ω. and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. (7:40)

PART Β. — On food offered to idols.

α. Now concerning things offered to idols, 

β. we perceive that we all have knowledge; 

  knowledge puffeth up — 

Ϛ.                        χ. but love edifieth. (8:1)

ο. And if anyone think that he perceiveth any thing, 

  he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. (8:2)

ω. But if anyone love God, 

   the same is known of him. (8:3)

   ς. As concerning therefore the eating of things offered to idols, 

ς. j ζ. we perceive that an idol is nothing in the world, 

    η. and that there is none other God but one. (8:4)

   ς. For though there be that are called gods, 

ζ. j ζ. whether in heaven or in earth, 

Ζ.                     η. (as there be gods many, and lords many,) (8:5)

  ς. but to us there is one God, the Father, 

      ζ. from whom are all things, 

  η.          η. and we unto him; 

  ς’. and one Lord Jesus Christ, 

      ζ’. through whom are all things, 

     η’. and we through him. (8:6)

   ς. Howbeit there is not in everyone that knowledge: 

α. j ζ. for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered to idols; 

    η. and their conscience being weak is defiled. (8:7)

   ς. But food commendeth us not to God: 

β. j ζ. for neither, if we eat, are we the better; 

    η. neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. (8:8)

ξ.  But take heed lest by any means this authority of yours 

become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. (8:9)

Η. j    α. For if anyone see thee which hast knowledge seated to dine in the idol’s temple, 

β. shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat things offered to idols; (8:10)

ο.            ξ. and through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? (8:11)

ο. But when ye sin so against the brethren, 

ω. and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. (8:12)

α. Wherefore, if food scandalize 

β. my brother, 

ω. jj        χ. I will eat no meat in this age, 

ο. lest my brother 

ω. I do scandalize. (8:13)

_____________________________

PART Χ. — Freedom in Jesus Christ.

α.  Am I not an apostle? 

β.  am I not free? 

χ.  have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? 

ο.  are not ye my work in the Lord? (9:1)

ω.  If unto others I am not an apostle, 

ς.  yet surely to you I am: 

ζ.  for the seal of mine apostleship 

η.  are ye in the Lord. (9:2)

_____________________________

PART Ο. — Material provisions for sowers of the gospel of Christ.

1. Mine answer to them that do examine me is this, (9:3)

ς.t      10. Have we not authority to eat and to drink? (9:4)

10’. Have we not authority to lead about a sister, a wife, 

1’. as do other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? (9:5) 

Ϛ. t         ζ.  Or do only I and Barnabas not have the authority not to be working a trade? (9:6)

       ς. Who at any time serveth as a soldier at his own expenses? 

   η.    ζ. who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? 

   η. or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? (9:7)

    ς. Say I these things as a man? 

ς.    ζ. or saith not the Torah the same also? (9:8)

η. For it is written in the Torah of Moses, 

    ς. THOU SHALT NOT MUZZLE THE MOUTH OF THE OX THAT TREADETH OUT THE GRAIN [Deut. 25:4]. 

Ζ. t          ζ.    ζ. Doth God take care for oxen? (9:9)

η. Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? 

    ς. For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: 

η.    ζ. that he that ploweth should plow in hope; 

η. and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (9:10)

1. If we have sown unto you Spiritual things, 

ς.t      10. is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? (9:11)

1’. If others be partakers of this authority over you, 

10’. are not we rather? 

ς. Nevertheless we have not used this authority; 

ζ. ''  ζ. but suffer all things, 

η. lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. (9:12)

Η. tj                       ς. Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things 

live of the things of the temple? 

η.       ζ. and they which wait at the altar 

are partakers with the altar? (9:13)

η. Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel 

should live of the gospel. (9:14)

_________________________________________________________________

PART Ω. — Preaching the gospel of Christ for an incorruptible reward.

    ς. But I have used none of these things: 

ς.t   ζ. neither have I written these things that it should be so done unto me: 

η. for it were better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void. (9:15)

α. For though I preach the gospel, 

β. I have nothing to boast of: 

Ϛ. ''         ζ. ''          χ. for necessity is laid upon me; 

ο. yea, woe is had by me, 

ω. if I preach not the gospel! (9:16)

α. For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: 

β. but if unwillingly, a stewardship [οἰκονομίαν] is entrusted to me. (9:17)

η. t          ξ. What is my reward then? 

ο. It is that when I preach the gospel, I may put forth the gospel of Christ without charge, 

ω. that I abuse not my authority in the gospel. (9:18)

For though I be free from all men, 

α.  yet have I made myself servant unto all, 

    that I might gain the more. (9:19)

β.  And unto the Judeans I became as a Judean, 

    that I might gain the Judeans; 

1. to them that are under the Torah, as under the Torah, 

10. that I might gain them that are under the Torah; (9:20)

Ζ.                           χ.t 1’. to them that are without Torah, as without Torah, 

t   (being not without torah to God, but under the torah to Christ,) 

10’. that I might gain them that are without Torah. (9:21)

ο.  To the weak became I as weak, 

    that I might gain the weak: 

ω. I am made all things to all men, 

    that I might by all means save some. (9:22)

α.  And this I do for the gospel’s sake, 

that I might be a fellow partaker thereof. (9:23)

1. Know ye not that they which run in a race all run, 

β.       10. but one receiveth the prize? 

1’. So run, 

10’. that ye may obtain. (9:24)

Η.                                ξ.t And everyone that striveth is temperate in all things. 

ο.  Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; 

but we an incorruptible. (9:25)

ς. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; 

j  so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: (9:26)

ω. t     ζ. but I subdue my body, 

j   and bring it into servitude: 

    η. lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, 

 I myself should be unapproved. (9:27)

   ς. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, 

ς. j ζ. how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; (10:1)

    η. and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (10:2)

   ς. and did all eat the same Spiritual food; (10:3)

Α. t         ζ. j ζ. and did all drink the same Spiritual drink: 

    η. for they drank of that Spiritual Rock that followed them: 

    t  and that Rock was Christ. (10:4)

η.  But with many of them God was not well pleased: 

for they were overthrown in the wilderness. (10:5)

____________________________

α.  Now these things were patterns [τύποι] for us, 

so that it should not be that we desire evil things, even as those so desired. (10:6)

β.  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 [Ex. 32:6]. (10:7)

Β.                      χ.  Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, 

and fell in one day twenty-three thousand. (10:8)

ο.  Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, 

and were destroyed of serpents. (10:9)

ω.tNeither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, 

and were destroyed of the destroyer. (10:10)

____________________________

   ς. Now all these things happened unto them as patterns [τύποι]: 

α. j ζ. and they are written for our admonition, 

    η. upon whom the ends of the ages are come. (10:11)

β.  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. (10:12)

Χ.                      ξ.  Temptation hath not taken you except that which is common to man: 

   ς. but faithful is the God who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; 

ο. j ζ. but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, 

    η. that ye may be able to bear it. (10:13)

ω.  Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. (10:14)

____________________________

Intro: As to the mindful do I speak; judge ye what I say. (10:15)

1. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? 

α.' 1’. The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? (10:16)

10. For one bread, one body, are we many: 

10’. for we all partake of that one bread. (10:17)

β.  Behold Israel after the flesh: 

are not they which eat of the offerings communicants of the altar? (10:18)

Intro: What say I then? 

Ο. j                                   χ.  that the idol is anything, 

or that which is offered to idols is anything? (10:19)

ο.  Or rather that the things which the Gentiles offer, they offer to demons, and not to God. 

And I would not that ye should be communicants with demons. (10:20)

1. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: 

ω. 1’. ye cannot partake of the Lord’s table, and of the table of demons. (10:21)

10. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? 

10’. are we mightier than he? (10:22)

____________________________

   ς. All things are permissible to me, but not all things are beneficial: 

α. j ζ. all things are permissible to me, but not all things edify. (10:23) (cf. 6:12)

    η. Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth. (10:24)

   ς. Whatsoever is sold at market, that eat, scrutinizing nothing for conscience sake: (10:25)

 For THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S, AND THE FULNESS THEREOF [Ps. 23:1]. (10:26)

 j    ζ. If any of the faithless call you over, and ye be disposed to go; 

β. j    whatsoever is set before you, eat, scrutinizing nothing for conscience sake. (10:27)

    η. But if anyone say unto you, “This is offered to idols,” 

        eat not for his sake that declared it, and for conscience sake: 

  [for THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S, AND THE FULNESS THEREOF [Ps. 23:1]:] (10:28)

Ω.                                          χ.  conscience, I say, not one’s own, but of the other: 

α. for why is my freedom judged of another’s conscience? (10:29)

β. For if I by grace partake, 

ο.            χ. why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? (10:30)

ο. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, 

ω. do all to the glory of God. (10:31)

α. Be not a cause of stumbling, 

β. neither to the Judeans, nor to the Hellenes, nor to the church of God: (10:32)

ω.            χ. even as I please all men in all things, 

ο. not seeking mine own benefit, but that of many, that they may be saved. (10:33)

ω. Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ. (11:1) (cf. 4:16)

 1.  Now I praise you, brethren, 

  10.  that ye remember me in all things, 

t  and hold fast the traditions as I delivered them to you. (11:2)

Α.  1’.  But I would have you know, 

t  ς. that the head of every man is Christ; 

  10’.      ζ. and the head of the woman is the man; 

t  η. and the head of Christ is God. (11:3)

____________________________

α.  Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, 

bringeth shame on his head. (11:4)

β.  But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered 

bringeth shame on her head: 

α. for it is one and the same as if she were shaven. (11:5)

β. For if the woman be not covered, 

Β.                       ξ. tj        ξ. let her also be shorn: 

ο. but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, 

ω. let her be covered. (11:6)

ο.  For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, 

forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: 

ω. but the woman is the glory of the man. (11:7)

____________________________

1. For the man is not of the woman; 

ς. '      10. but the woman of the man. (11:8)

1’. Neither was the man created for the woman; 

10’. but the woman for the man. (11:9)

    ς. Because of this 

ζ. t   ζ. ought the woman to have authority on her head — 

Χ.                             η. because of the angels. (11:10) (cf. Gen. 6:4)

ς. Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, 

ζ. neither the woman without the man, 

η.            η. in the Lord. (11:11)

ς’. For as the woman is of the man, 

ζ’. even so is the man also by the woman; 

η’. but all things of God. (11:12)

____________________________

ς. Judge in yourselves: 

    is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? (11:13)

Ο. t         ζ. Doth not even nature itself teach you, 

    that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonour unto him? (11:14)

η. But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: 

t   for hair is given her for a covering. (11:15)

____________________________

ς. But if anyone seem to be contentious, 

Ω.      ζ. we have no such custom, 

η. neither the churches of God. (11:16)

ς.  Now in this that I declare, I praise not, 

that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. (11:17)

'      ς. For firstly, when ye come together in the church, 

Α. j'      ζ. j    ζ. I hear that there be schisms among you; 

'      η. and I partly believe it. (11:18)

η.  For there must be also heresies among you, 

that they which are proved faithful may be made manifest among you. (11:19)

____________________________

ς.  When ye come together therefore into one place, 

this is not to eat the Lord’s supper. (11:20)

'      ς. For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: 

Β. t'      ζ. j    ζ. and one is hungry, and another is drunken. (11:21)

'      η. What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? 

η.  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 not. (11:22)

____________________________

1.j For I have received of the Lord 

that which also I delivered unto you, 

 1. that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: (11:23)

10.''1’. and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, 

  10. “Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: 

  10’. this do for my remembrance.” (11:24)

Χ. t                1. After the same manner also he took the cup, 

10’.j1’. when he had supped, saying, 

  10. “This cup is the new covenant in my blood: 

  10’. this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, for my remembrance.” (11:25)

1’. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, 

ye do proclaim the Lord’s death till he come. (11:26)

____________________________

α.  Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, 

shall be liable for the body and blood of the Lord. (11:27)

β.' But let a man prove himself, 

and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. (11:28)

    ς. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, 

Ο. t                   χ. t    ζ. eateth and drinketh judgment [κρίμα] to himself, 

    η. not discerning [διακρίνων] the Lord’s body. (11:29)

ο.  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. (11:30)

For if we would judge [διεκρίνομεν] ourselves, we should not be judged [ἐκρινόμεθα]. (11:31)

ω.  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, 

 that we should not be condemned [κατακριθῶμεν] with the world. (11:32)

____________________________

 α. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, 

β. tarry one for another. (11:33)

Ω. ''                  ξ. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; 

 ο. that ye come not together unto condemnation. 

ω. And the rest will I set in order when I come. (11:34)

   ς. Now concerning Spiritual things, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. (12:1)

ς.    ζ. Ye know that when ye were Gentiles, unto idols that are voiceless

η. were ye carried away, even as ye were led. (12:2)

     ς. Wherefore I give you to understand, 

Α. j      ζ.    ζ. that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus anathema; 

  η. and no one can say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit. (12:3)

   ς. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same [Holy] Spirit. (12:4)

η.   ζ. And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord [Jesus Christ]. (12:5)

η. And there are diversities of workings, but it is the same God [the Father] which worketh all in all. (12:6)

________________________________________________________

ς.  But to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit to benefit withal. (12:7)

α. For to one is given by [διὰ] the Spirit the word of wisdom; 

'   to another, the word of knowledge by [κατὰ] the same Spirit; (12:8)  

β. to someone different, faithfulness by [ἐν] the same Spirit; 

tj to another, the gifts of healing by [ἐν] the same Spirit; (12:9)

Β.            ζ.                       ξ. to another, the working of miracles [δυνάμεων]; 

ο. to another, prophecy; 

tj'to another, discerning of spirits; 

ω. to someone different, knowing varieties of languages; 

    to another, the translation of languages: (12:10)

η.  but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to each severally as he will. (12:11)

______________________________________________

    1. For as the body is one, 

ς. tj    10. and hath many members, 

10’. and all the members of that one body, being many, 

    1’. are one body: 

Χ. t         ζ.  so also is Christ. (12:12)

    1. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, 

η. j'    10. whether we be Judeans or Hellenes, 

10’. whether we be bond or free; 

    1’. and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. (12:13)

______________________________________________

1.  For the body is not one member, but many. (12:14)

If the foot shall say, “Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body”; 

10. t    is it therefore not of the body? (12:15)

And if the ear shall say, “Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body”; 

is it therefore not of the body? (12:16)

ς.                  If the whole body were an eye, 

10’. t   where were the hearing? 

If the whole were hearing, 

where were the smelling? (12:17)

1’.tBut now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, as he would. (12:18)

And if they were all one member, where were the body? (12:19)

ζ. But now are they many members, yet but one body. (12:20)

Ο.                                                          And the eye cannot say unto the hand, 

1.        “I have no use for thee”: 

nor again the head to the feet, 

“I have no use for you.” (12:21)

Nay, much more those members of the body which seem to be weaker 

10. t    are necessary: (12:22)

and those members of the body which we esteem to be less honourable, 

upon these we bestow [in dress] more abundant honour; 

η. j                     and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; (12:23)

10’. for our comely parts have no need; 

but God hath tempered the body together, 

having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: (12:24)

that there should be no schism in the body; 

1’.  but that the members should have the same care one for another. (12:25)

And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; 

or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. (12:26)

________________________________________________________

ς.  Now ye are the body of Christ, 

and members in particular. (12:27)

And God hath set some in the church, 

   first apostles,                                                                                   Are all apostles?

ς.     secondarily prophets, '                                                           ς’.    are all prophets?

     knowing varieties of languages. (12:28) tj                              do all translate? (12:30)

 η.  But covet earnestly the gifts that are best: 

 and yet show I unto you a more excellent way. (12:31)

ς.  Though I speak in the languages of men and of angels, 

ς. ''          ζ.  and have not love, 

η.  I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. (13:1)

And though I have the gift of prophecy,

ζ.       and though I have all faith, 

Ϛ.                           so that I could remove mountains,

1. For we know in part, 

β.  1’. and we prophesy in part. (13:9)

10. But when that which is perfect is come, 

10’. then that which is in part shall be done away. (13:10)

1. When I was a child, 

Η. '''''''                             χ. tj     10. I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: 

1’. but when I became a man, 

10’. I put away childish things. (13:11)

1. For now we see through a glass, darkly; 

ο.       10. but then face to face: 

1’. now I know in part; 

10’. but then shall I know even as also I am known. (13:12)

ς. And now abideth faith, hope, love, 

ω. '  ζ. these three;

   ς. Follow after love, 

ς.    ζ. and covet Spiritual gifts,

1. For he that speaketh in an unknown language speaketh not unto men, but unto God: 

tj for no one heareth him; howbeit in the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. (14:2)

Α. tj             ζ. tj       10. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to 

j  edification, and encouragement, and consolation. (14:3)

1’. He that speaketh in an unknown language edifieth himself; 

   10’. but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. (14:4)

      ς. I would that ye all spake other languages, but rather that ye prophesied: 

   η.   ζ. for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh other languages, 

   η. unless he translate, that the church may receive edifying. (14:5)

   ς. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking unknown languages, 

α.jj ζ. what shall I profit you, 

η. unless I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecy, or by teaching? (14:6)

α. And even lifeless things that give sound, whether pipe or harp, 

β. except they give a distinction in the sounds, 

β. t'         χ. how shall it be known what is piped or harped? (14:7)

ο. Yea, for if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, 

ω. who shall prepare himself to the battle? (14:8)

   ς. So likewise ye, except ye utter in a language words that are well recognizable, 

Β. jj                                  χ.''  ζ. how shall it be known what is spoken? 

η. for ye shall be speaking into the air. (14:9)

α. There are, it may be, so many kinds of vocal sounds [φωνῶν] in the world, 

β. and none of them is without signification [ἄφωνον]. (14:10)

ο. t'         χ. Therefore if I know not the meaning [δύναμιν] of the sound, 

ο. I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, 

ω. and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. (14:11)

α. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are covetous of Spiritual gifts, 

β. seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. (14:12)

ω. t         ξ. Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown language pray in order that he may translate. (14:13)

ο. For if I pray in an unknown language, my spirit prayeth, 

ω. but my mind is unfruitful. (14:14)

________________________________________________________

Intro: What is it then? 

1. I will pray with the Spirit, 

ς. jj     10. and I will pray with the mind also: 

1’. I will sing with the Spirit, 

 10’. and I will sing with the mind also. (14:15)

ς. Else when thou shalt bless with the Spirit, 

  he that occupieth the room of the unlearned, 

Χ. tj              ζ. tj        ζ. how shall he say the “Amen” in response to thy eucharistic worship, 

  since he understandeth not what thou sayest? (14:16)

η. For thou dost verily eucharistize well, 

  but the other is not edified. (14:17)

1. I thank my God, I speak other languages more than ye all: (14:18)

η. j'     10. yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my mind, 

 10’. that I might catechize others also, 

1’. than myriad words in an unknown language. (14:19)

________________________________________________________

α. Brethren, be not children in understanding: 

β. howbeit in regard to malice act as babes, but in regard to understanding be mature. (14:20)

α. t'         χ. In the Torah it is written, 

ο. WITH OTHER TONGUES [LANGUAGES] AND OTHER LIPS WILL I SPEAK UNTO THIS PEOPLE; 

ω. AND YET FOR ALL THAT WILL THEY NOT HEAR ME, saith the Lord [Is. 28:11­‑12]. (14:21)

ς. Wherefore languages are for a sign, 

β₁. ''    ζ. not to them that are faithful, 

  η. but to them that are not faithful: 

 ς. but prophecy is 

β₁₀.      ζ. not for them that are not faithful, 

   η. but for them which are faithful. (14:22)

Ο.                                                                         χ.  If therefore the whole church be come together into the same place, 

ς. and all speak unknown languages, 

ο₁. ''    ζ. and there come in those that are unlearned, or not faithful, 

  η. will they not say that ye are mad? (14:23)

 ς. But if all prophesy, 

ο₁₀.      ζ. and there come in someone not faithful, or unlearned, 

   η. he is convicted by all — 

α. he is scrutinized by all: (14:24)

β. and thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; 

ω. tj        χ. and so falling down on his face 

ο. he will worship God, 

ω. reporting that God verily is in you. (14:25)

________________________________________________________

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, each of you 

α. hath a psalm, 

β. hath a teaching, 

α. t'         χ. hath a language, 

ο. hath a revelation, 

ω. hath a translation — 

let all things be done unto edifying. (14:26)

α. If anyone talk in an unknown language, 

β. let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that in turn; 

β. t'         χ. and let one translate. (14:27)

ο. But if there be no translator, let him keep silence in the church; 

ω. and to himself let him talk, and to God. (14:28)

α. Let the prophets talk two or three, and let the others discern. (14:29)

β. If something be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first keep silence. (14:30)

χ. tj         χ. For ye can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted. (14:31)

Ω. j                                                             ο. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. (14:32)

ω. For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints [assemblies of holy ones]. (14:33)

α. Let your women in the churches keep silence: 

β. for it is not permitted unto them to talk, 

ο. t'         χ. but to subject themselves, as also saith the Torah. (14:34)

ο. And if they will to learn anything, at home let them inquire of their husbands: 

ω. for it is a shame for women to talk in church. (14:35)

α.  What? did the word of God come out from you? 

or did it arrive unto you only? (14:36)

β.  If anyone think to be a prophet, or Spiritual, 

''       let him acknowledge 

ω. jj                        χ.  that the things I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. (14:37)

ο.  But if anyone be ignorant, 

''       let him be ignorant. (14:38)

ω.  Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak other languages. (14:39)

Let all things be done becomingly and in order. (14:40)

PART Ϛ.  

α. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I evangelized unto you, 

β. which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; (15:1)

Ϛ. ''         ξ. By which also ye are saved, 

ο. if ye hold fast the word I evangelized unto you, 

ω. unless ye have been faithful in vain. (15:2)

α₁.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, 

   ς. how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; (15:3)

  α₁₀.    ζ. And that he was buried, 

η. and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (15:4)

 β.  1. And that he was seen of Cephas, 

     10. then of the twelve: (15:5)

 ς. After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; 

Ζ.                         χ. j   ζ. of whom the greater part remain unto this present, 

 η. but some are fallen asleep. (15:6)

 ο.  1. After that, he was seen of James; 

     10. then of all the apostles. (15:7)

  ω₁₀.  And last of all, as though having to be ripped from the womb, 

ω₁.  he was seen of me also. (15:8)

    ς. For I am the least of the apostles, 

α. '' ζ. who am not fit to be called an apostle, 

η. because I persecuted the church of God. (15:9)

β.  But by the grace of God I am what I am: 

Η. ''                          χ.  and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; 

''but I laboured more abundantly than they all: 

ο.  yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. (15:10)

    ς. Therefore whether it were I or they, 

ω. t ζ. so we preach, 

η. and so ye have been faithful. (15:11)

___________________________________________________________________________

PART Ζ. 

ς. Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, 

j  how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? (15:12)

ς.        ζ. But if there be no resurrection of the dead, 

tt then is Christ not risen: (15:13)
