just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the [profit] of many, that they may be saved.

But to each [one] the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the profit [of all).

And though I give away all my possessions to feed [the poor], and though I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

And turn not aside after [the gods] that are nothing, who will do nothing, and will not deliver you, because they are nothing.

O Lord, You are my strength and my help, and my refuge in days of evil. To You the Gentiles shall come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, How worthless [were the] idols [which] our fathers procured for themselves, and there is no help in them.

Therefore behold, I am against the prophets that prophesy false dreams, and have not told them [truly], and have caused My people to err by their lies, and by their errors; yet I sent them not, and commanded them not. Therefore, they shall not profit this people at all.

For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give [as] an exchange for his soul?

Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to dispute about words, useful for nothing, for the ruin of the hearers.

Faithful is this word, and concerning these things I want you to strongly affirm, so that those who have believed in God may take thought to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

Do not be carried away with various and strange doctrines. For it is good [for] the heart to be established by grace, not by foods, by which those having walked were not profited.

What is it then, brothers? Whenever you come together, each of you has a song, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

But if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.

But if [something] is revealed to another who sits by, let the first be silent.

At that time Jesus answered and said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.

Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal [this] to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

It is indeed not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord:

And lest I exalt myself above measure by the excellence of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, an angel of Satan, that it might beat me, lest I exalt myself above measure.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

Therefore, as many as are mature, let us think this way; and if in anything you think otherwise, even this God will reveal to you.

For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Love never fails. But whether there [are] prophecies, they shall pass away; whether there [are] tongues, they shall cease; whether there [is] knowledge, it shall pass away.

Now we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

But even if I [am] unskilled in speech, yet [I am] not [inferior] in knowledge, but in every [way] I was made known to you in all things.

with reference to which, when you read, you can understand my insight in the mystery of Christ,

But also [for] this very reason, making every effort, provide with your faith virtue, and with virtue knowledge,

but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Pursue love, and desire the spiritual [gifts], but especially that you may prophesy.

And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

What is it then, brothers? Whenever you come together, each of you has a song, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

Now I urge you, brothers, to look out for those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

You however have carefully followed my doctrine, lifestyle, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience and teaching.

Everyone who transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ, this [one] has both the Father and the Son.
