¹ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and such immorality as is not even among the heathen—that a man has taken his father's wife! ² Yet you are puffed up instead of mourning and removing from among you the man who has done this thing. ³ For I, although absent in body, yet present in spirit, have already passed sentence, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, on him who has done this thing. ⁴ When you are gathered together, and my spirit is with you together with the power of our Lord Jesus, ⁵ I have handed over such a man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

⁵ I say this to shame you.

God forbid! ¹⁶ Do you not know that he who joins himself to a harlot is one with her in body? (For God says, The two shall become one flesh.) ¹⁷ While a man who is united with the Lord is one with Him in spirit? ¹⁸ Flee from immorality. Every other sin that a man commits lies outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

¹² If then, we are preaching Christ, that he rose from the dead, how are some of you saying that there is no resurrection from the dead? ¹³ But if there is no resurrection from the dead, then not even Christ has been raised; ¹⁴ and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, and vain also is your faith. ¹⁵ More than that, we are detected in bearing false witness against God; because we testified of God that he raised Christ from the dead, whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead rise not. ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, neither has Christ arisen; ¹⁷ and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain, you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ More than that, those who are sleeping in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all mankind most pitiable. ²⁰ But now, now, Christ is risen from the dead, the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep. ²¹ For since by man came to death, by man came also the resurrection from the dead. ²² For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. ²³ But each in his own order; Christ the first-fruits, then those who belong to Christ at his appearing. ²⁴ And then the end, when he shall hand over his kingdom to God his Father, after he has abolished all rule and authority and power. ²⁵ For he must rule until he has put all his enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy that will be destroyed is Death. ²⁷ For He hast put all things under his feet, but in that quotation All things are put under him, it is evident that God is excepted, who put all things under Him. ²⁸ For when everything is subjected to him, then the Son himself shall subject himself to Him who made them subject, that God may be all in all. ²⁹ Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are really not raised, why are they baptized for them? ³⁰ Yes, and why am I myself exposed to danger every hour? ³¹ Every day I am facing death, my brothers, I affirm it by that pride in you which I have through Christ Jesus our Lord. ³² If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what good does it do me? If the dead do not rise, Let us eat and drink, For we shall be dead tomorrow. ³³ Do not deceive yourselves. Evil companions ruin good morals. ³⁴ Wake up, do justly, cease from sin; for I say to your shame that some of you have no acquaintance with God.

³⁶ Foolish man! The seed you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

⁴ For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart, through many tears; not to pain you, but to convince you of my love, my abundant love for you. ⁵ As to him who has been, and now is, causing pain, it is not I whom he has pained, but all of you—at least some of you (not to overstate the case).

⁷ for another gospel, which indeed is not another; only there are certain individuals who are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even though I myself or an angel from heaven were to preach any gospel other than that which I did preach to you, let him be accursed. ⁹ I have said it before, and I now repeat it, if any one is preaching a gospel to you other than that which you have received, let him be accursed. ¹⁰ Think you that I am now trying to conciliate men or God? Or am I "seeking to please men"? If I were still seeking to please men, I should not be a slave of Christ.

⁴ Yet there were false brethren who had crept in to spy out the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us again. ⁵ To them we did not yield submission even for an hour, in order that the truth of the gospel might abide unshaken among you. ⁶ But those in authority—what they once were makes no difference to me; God is no respecter of persons—those I say who were in authority had no additions to make my message.

¹⁴ But when I saw that they were not walking a straight path, in the presence of the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all. "If you, although you are a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, why do you try to compel the Gentiles to become Jews?

¹ O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? You, before whose very eyes Jesus Christ was placarded as crucified! ² Answer me this one question.

⁸ But once, when you Gentiles had no knowledge of God, you were slaves to gods which have no real being. ⁹ Now, however, when you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you are beginning to turn back to those weak and beggarly externalities, eager to be in bondage to them again? ¹⁰ You are scrupulous, are you, in observing "days" and "months" and "seasons" and "years"? ¹¹ I am alarmed about you for fear lest I may have bestowed labor on you to no purpose. ¹² Brothers, I beseech you, become as I am, because I also have become as you are. You never did me any wrong; ¹³ on the contrary, you know that although it was illness which brought about my preaching the gospel to you at my first visit, ¹⁴ and although my bodily affliction was a trial to you, you did not scoff at it nor spurn me, but welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself. ¹⁵ Why then did you account yourselves so happy? (For I bear you witness that if you could you would have torn out your own eyes and given them to me.) ¹⁶ Am I then become your enemy, because I am telling you the truth? ¹⁷ These men are courting your favor to no good purpose. They want to isolate you, so that you will be courting their favor. ¹⁸ It is always an honorable thing to have your favor sought in an honorable cause, always, and not only when I am with you. ¹⁹ O my little children, of whom I travail again in birth until Christ be formed within you! ²⁰ How I wish I could be with you now, that I might change my tone; for I am perplexed about you.

² Listen to me! I, Paul, declare to you that if you are to continue to follow the rite of circumcision, Christ will be no profit to you. ³ I solemnly testify to every man who submits to circumcision that he obligates himself to keep the whole Law. ⁴ If you are being justified by law, you are cut off from Christ; you are fallen away from grace.

² Ever be bearing one another's burdens, and so be fulfilling the law of Christ.

¹⁵ I know your works, that you are neither hot nor cold. ¹⁶ Would that you were either cold or hot.
