SCRIPTURES

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 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 We know that our body—the tent we live in here on earth—will be destroyed. But when that happens, YAHUSHA will have a home for us to live in. It will not be the kind of home people build here. It will be a home in the heaven that will continue forever. 2 But now we grain and are tired of this body. We want YAHUSHA to give us our heavenly home now. 3 It will clothe us and we will not be naked. 4 For while we live in this earthly tent, we have groanings and burdens. I don’t m

1 We are workers together with Alahim. So we beg you: Don’t let the favour that you received from YAHUSHA be for nothing. 2 YAHUSHA says, “I heard you at the right time, and I gave you help on the day of deliverance.” I tell you that the “right time” is now. The “day of deliverance” is now. 3 We don’t want people to find anything wrong with our work and behaviour. So we do nothing that will be a problem to others. 4 But in every way we show that we are servants of YAHUSHA.

1 Dear friends, we have these promises from YAHUSHA. So we should make ourselves pure—free from anything that makes our body or our being unclean. Our respect for Alahim should make us try to be completely Set-Apart in the way we live. 2 Open your hearts to us. We have not done wrong to anyone or caused harm to anyone. And we have not cheated anyone. 3 I do not say this to blame you. I told you before that we love you so much we would live or die with you. 4 I feel that I can

1 And now, brothers and sisters, we want to tell you what YAHUSHA’S favour has done in the Assembly in Macedonia. 2 These believers have been tested by great troubles, and they are very poor. But their great joy caused them to be very generous in their giving. 3 I can tell you that they gave as much as they were able and even more than they could afford. No one told them to do this. It was their idea. 4 But they asked us again and again—they begged us to let them share in thi

1 I really don’t need to write to you about this help for YAHUSHA’S people. 2 I know that you want to help. I have been bragging about you to the people in Macedonia. I told them that you people in Achaia have been ready to give since last year. And your desire to give has made most of the people here ready to give also. 3 But I am sending these brothers to you. I don’t want our bragging about you in this to be for nothing. I want you to be ready just as I said you would be.

1 I Paul, am begging you with the gentleness and the kindness of Messiah. Some say that I am bold when I am writing you from a distance, but not when I am there with you. 2 They think our motives for what we do are like those of the world. I plan to be very bold against those people when I come. I hope I will not need to use that same boldness with you. 3 3For though we walk in fleshly bodies, we do not fight according to the flesh. 4For the weapons we fight with are not fles

1 I wish you would be patient with me even when I am a little foolish. But you are already patient with me. 2 I am jealous for you with a jealousy that comes from YAHUSHA. I promised to give you to Messiah. He must be your only husband. I want to give you to Messiah to be his pure Bride. 3 But I am afraid that your minds will be led away from your true and pure following of Messiah. This could happen just as Eve was tricked by that serpent with his clever lies. 4 You seem to

1 There is more that I have to say about myself. It won’t help, but I will talk now about visions and revelations from the Master. 2 I know a man in Messiah who was taken up to the third heaven. This happened 14 years ago. I don’t know if the man was in his body or out of his body, but YAHUSHA knows. 3-4 And I know that this man was taken up to paradise. I don’t know if he was in his body or away from his body, but he heard things that he is not able to explain. He heard thin

1 This will be my third time to visit you. And remember, “For every complaint there must be two or three witnesses to say that they know it’s true.” 2 When I was with you the second time, I gave a warning to those who had sinned. I am not there now, but I am giving another warning to them and to anyone else who has sinned: When I come to you again, I will punish you. 3 You want proof that Messiah is speaking through me. My proof is that he is not weak in dealing with you but
