The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians.
1.1 After his salutation, and thanksgiuing,
1.10 he exhorteth them to vnitie, and
1.12 reprooueth their dissentions.
1.18 God destroyeth the wisedome of the wise,
1.21 by the foolishnesse of preaching, and
1.26 calleth not the wise, mighty, and noble, but
1.27.28 the foolish, weake, and men of no accompt.
Hee declareth that his preaching,
2.1 though it bring not excellency of speech, or of
2.4 humane wisedome: yet consisteth in the
2.4.5 power of God: and so farre excelleth
2.6 the wisedome of this world, and
2.9 humane sense, as that
2.14 the naturall man can not vnderstand it.
3.2 Milke is fit for children.
3.3 Strife and diuision, arguments of a fleshly minde.
3.7 hee that planteth, and hee that watereth, is nothing.
3.9 The ministers are Gods fellowe workemen.
3.11 Christ the only foundation.
3.16 Men the temples of God, which
3.17 must bee kept holy.
3.19 The wisedome of this world is foolishnesse with God.
4,1 In what account the Ministers ought to bee had.
4.7 We haue nothing wich wee haue not receiued.
4.9 The Apostles spectacles to the world, Angels and men,
4.13 The filth and off-scouring of the worlde:
4/15 Yet our fathers in Christ,
4.16 Whome e\wee ought to followe.
5.1 The incestuous person
5.6 is cause rather of shame vnto them, then of reioycing.
5.7 The olde leauen is to be purged out.
5.10 Heinous offenders are to be shamed & avoided.
6.1 The Corinthians must not vexe their brethren, in going to law with them:
6.6 Especially vnder Infidels.
6.9 The vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God.
6.15 Our bodies are the members of Christ,
6.19 And Temples of the holy Ghost.
6.16.17 They must not therefore be defiled.
7.2 He treateth of mariage,
7.4 sheweth it to be a remedy against fornication:
7.10 And that the bond thereof ought not lightly to be disolued.
7.18.20 Euery man must be content with his vocation.
7.25 Virginitie wherefore to be imbraced.
7.35 And for what respects we may either marry, or abstaine from marying.
8.1 To abstaine from meates offered to Idoles:
8.8.9 We must not abuse our Christian libertie, to the offence of our brethren:
8.11 but must bridle our knowledge with Charitie.
9.1 He sheweth his libertie,
9.7 and that the minister ought to liue by the Gospel:
9.15 yet that himselfe hath of his owne accord abstained,
9.18 to be either chargeable vnto them:
9.22 of offensiue vnto any, in matters indifferent.
9.24 Our life is like vnto a race.
10.1 The Sacraments of the Iewes,
10.6 are types of ours,
10.7 and their punishments,
10.11 examples for vs.
10.14 We must flie from idolatrie.
10.21 We must not make the Lords Table the table of deuils:
10.24 And in things indifferent, we must haue regard of our brethren.
11.1 Re reprooueth them, because in holy assemblies,
11.4 their men prayed with their heads couered, and
11.6 women with their heads vncouered,
11.17 and because generally their meetings were not for the better but for the worse, as
11.21 namely in profaning with their owne feasts the Lords Supper.
11.25 Lastly, he calleth them to the first institution thereof.
12.1 Spirituall gifts
12.4 are diuers,
12.7 yet all to profit withall.
12.8 And to that ende, are diuersly bestowed;
12.12 That by the like proportion, as the members of a naturall body, tend all to the
12.16 mutuall decency,
12.22 seruice, and
12.26 succour of the same body;
12.27 so wee should doe one for anothe, to make vp the mysticall body of Christ.
13.1 All gifts,
13.2.3 how excellent soeuer, are nothing worth without charitie.
13.4 The praises thereof, and
13.13 prelation before hope & faith
14.1 Prophecie is commended,
14.2.3.4 and preferred before speaking with tongues,
14.6 by a comparison drwen from musicall instruments.
14.12 Both must bee referred to edification,
14.22 as to their true and proper end.
14.26 The true vse of each is taught,
14.27 and the abuse taxed.
14.34 Women are forbidden to speake in the Church.
15.3 By Christes resurrection,
15.12 he proueth the necessitie of our resurrection, against all such as deny the resurrection of the body.
15.21 The fruit,
15.35 and maner thereof,
15.51 And of the changing of them, that shall bee fkound aliue at the last day.
16.1 Hee exhorteth them to relieue the want of the brethren at Ierusalem.
16.10 Commendeth Timothy,
15.13 And after friendly admonitions,
15.16 Shutteth vp his Epistle with diuers salutations.
