SCRIPTURES

1 Greetings from Paul. I was chosen to be a follower of YAHUSHA MESSIAH. Alahim chose me because that’s what He wanted. Greetings also from Sosthenes, our brother in Messiah. 2 To the Assembly in Corinth, you who have been made Set-Apart because you belong to our Messiah YAHUSHA. You were chosen to be Alahim's Set-Apart people together with all people everywhere who trust in the Master YAHUSHA MESSIAH—their Master and ours. 3 Favour and peace to you from Alahim our Father and

1 Dear brothers and sisters, when I came to you, I told you the secret truths of YAHUSHA. But I didn’t use fancy words or great wisdom. 2 I decided that while I was with you, I’d forget about everything except YAHUSHA MESSIAH and His death on the Torture Stake. 3 When I came to you, I was a bit unexperienced and weak and I shook with fear. 4 My teaching and my speaking were not with wise words that persuade people. But still the proof of my teaching was the power that the Spi

1 Brothers and Sisters, when I was there, I couldn’t talk to you the way I talk to people who are led by the Spirit. I had to talk to you like ordinary people of the world. You were like babies in Messiah. 2 And the teaching I gave you was like milk, not solid food. I did this because you were not ready for solid food. And even now you are not ready. 3 You are still not following the Spirit. You’re jealous of each other, and you are always arguing with each other. This shows

1 You should think of us as servants of Messiah, the ones YAHUSHA has trusted to do the work of making known His secret truths. 2 Those who are trusted with such an important work must show that they are worthy of that trust. 3 But I don’t consider your judgment on this point to be worth anything. Even an opinion from a court of law would mean nothing. I don’t even trust my own judgment. 4 I don’t know of any wrong I have done, but that does not make me right. The Master is t

1 I don’t want to believe what I’m hearing—that there is sexual sin among you. And it is such a dreadful kind of immorality that even those who’ve never known YAHUSHA don’t allow it. People say that a man there has even slept with his father’s wife! 2 And still you are proud of yourselves! You should have been filled with grief and sadness. And the man who committed that hideous sin should be put out of your group. 3 I cannot be there with you in person, but I’m with you `in

1 And how dare you take each other to court! When one of you has something against another, why on earth would you go to the judges in the law courts? The way they think and live is completely wrong. So why do you let them decide who is right? Why don’t you let YAHUSHA’S people decide who’s right? 2 Don’t you know that YAHUSHA’S people will judge the whole world? So if we will judge the world, then surely we can judge small arguments like this. 3 You know that in the future w

1 Now I will discuss the things you wrote me about. You asked if it is better for a man not to have anything to do with sex at all. 2 However because sexual sin is such a strong danger and temptation, each man should enjoy his own wife, and each woman should enjoy her own husband. 3 The husband should give his wife what she desires and deserves as his wife, and the wife should do the same. 4 The wife does not have power over her own body, for her husband has ownership and pow

1 Now I will write about meat that is sacrificed to idols. It is certainly true that “We all have knowledge,” as you say. But knowledge puffs up, but love builds up the Assembly stronger. 2 Those who think they know something do not yet know anything as they should. 3 But whoever loves YAHUSHA is known by Him. 4 So this is what I say about eating meat: We know that an idol is really nothing in the world, and we know that there is only one YAHUSHA. 5 It’s really not important

1 I am a free man. I am a follower of YAHUSHA MESSIAH and have seen our Master. You people are an example of my work in the Master. 2 Others may not accept me as a follower or teacher, but surely you do. You are proof that I am a follower in the Master. 3 Some people want to judge me. So this is the answer I give them: 4 We have the right to eat and drink, don’t we? 5 We have the right to bring a believing wife with us when we travel, don’t we? The other followers and the Mas

1 Brothers and sisters, I want you to know what happened to our ancestors who were with Moses. They were all under the same cloud, and they all walked through the same red sea. 2 They were all baptised into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3 They all ate the same supernatural food, 4 and they all drank the same supernatural drink. They drank from that spiritual rock that was with them, and that rock was MESSIAH YAHUSHA. 5 But Alahim was not pleased with most of those people

1 Follow my example, just as I follow the example of Messiah. 2 I praise you because you remember me in all things. You follow closely the teachings I gave you. 3 But I want you to understand this: The head of every man is Messiah. And the head of a woman is the man. And the head of Messiah is Alahim. 4 Every man who prophesies or prays with his head covered brings shame to his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies should have her head covered. If her head is not co

1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to understand about spiritual gifts. 2 You remember the lives you lived before you were believers. You let yourselves be influenced and led away to worship idols—things that have no life. 3 So I tell you that no one who is speaking with the help of YAHUSHA’S Spirit says, “YAHUSHA be cursed.” And no one can say, “YAHUSHA is Master,” without the help of the Set-Apart Spirit. 4 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they are

1 I may speak in different languages, whether human or even of Angels. But if I don’t have love, I am only a noisy bell or a ringing cymbal. 2 I may have the gift of prophecy, I may understand all secrets and know everything there is to know, and I may have belief so great that I can move mountains. But even with all this, if I don’t have love, I am nothing. 3 I may give away everything I have to help others, and I may even give my body as an offering to be burned. But I gain

1 Love should be the goal of your life, but you should also want to have the gifts that come from the Spirit. And the gift you should want most is to be able to prophesy. 2 I will explain why. Those who have the gift of speaking in a different language are not speaking to people. They are speaking to YAHUSHA. No one understands them—they are speaking secret things through the Spirit. 3 But those who prophesy are speaking to people. They help people grow stronger in belief, an

1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to remember the Good News I told you. You received that Good News and continue to base your life on it. 2 That Good News, the message you heard from me, is YAHUSHA’S way to deliver you. But you must continue believing it. If you don’t, you believed for nothing. 3 I gave you the message that I received. I told you the most important truths: that Messiah died for our sins, as the Scriptures say: 4 that He was buried and was raised to life

1 Now, about the collection of money for YAHUSHA’S people: Do the same as I told the Galatian Assembly to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you should take some of your money and put it in a special place. deliver up as much as you can from what you are blessed with. Then you will not have to gather it all after I come. 3 When I arrive, I will send some men to take your gift to Jerusalem. These will be the ones you all agree should go. I will send them with letter

1 Greetings from Paul, a Follower of YAHUSHA MESSIAH. I am indeed a Disciple and follower because that’s what YAHUSHA wanted. Greetings also from Timothy our brother in Messiah. To YAHUSHA’S Assembly in Corinth and to all of His Set-Apart people throughout Achaia. 2 Favour and peace to you from Alahim our Father - the Master YAHUSHA MESSIAH. 3 Praise be to the Alahim and Father of our Master YAHUSHA MESSIAH. He is the Father who is full of mercy, the Alahim of all comfort. 4

1 So I decided that my next visit to you would not be another visit to make you sad. 2 If I make you sad, then who will make me happy? Only you can make me happy—you, the ones I made sad. 3 I wrote you a letter so that when I came to you I would not be made sad by those who should make me happy. I felt sure that all of you would share my joy. 4 When I wrote to you before, I was very troubled and my heart was full of sadness. I wrote with many tears. I did not write to make yo

1 Why are we beginning again to tell you all these good things about ourselves? Do we need letters of introduction to you or from you, like some other people? 2 No, you yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts. It is known and read by all people. 3 You show that you are a letter from Messiah that he sent through us. This letter is not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living Alahim. It is not written on stone tablets but on human hearts. 4 We can say this, b

1 YAHUSHA, with His compassion, gave us this work to do, so we don’t give up. 2 But we have turned away from secret and shameful ways. We don’t use trickery or deceit, and we don’t change the teachings of YAHUSHA. We teach the truth plainly. This is how we show people who we are. And this is how they can know in their hearts what kind of people we are before YAHUSHA. 3 The Good News that we tell people may be hidden, but it is hidden only to those who are lost. 4 The ruler of
