Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their"s and our"s:

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

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
