The Excellence of Love
[4] Love is patient, love is kind, is not jealous, does not brag, is not puffed up;
[5] it does not act unbecomingly, does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong [suffered];
[6] it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
[7] it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
[1Co 13:4-7 LSB]
[13] But now abide faith, hope, love--these three; but the greatest of these is love.
[1Co 13:13 LSB]
Prophecy and Tongues
[1] Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual [gifts], but especially that you may prophesy.
[1Co 14:1 LSB]
[24] But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all;
[25] the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that SURELY GOD IS AMONG YOU.
[1Co 14:24-25 LSB]
Orderly Worship
[26] What is [the outcome] then, brothers? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has a translation. Let all things be done for edification.
[1Co 14:26 LSB]
[34] The women are to keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.
[35] But if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.
[1Co 14:34-35 LSB]
1 Cor. 14:34–35 the women should keep silent in the churches. Since Paul seems to permit wives to pray and prophesy as long as they do not dishonor their husbands by the way they dress (11:5, 13), it is difficult to see this as an absolute prohibition of their speaking in church meetings (compare Acts 2:17; 21:8–9). Paul is likely forbidding women to speak up and judge prophecies (this is the activity in the immediate context; see 1 Cor. 14:29), since such an activity would undermine male headship. Law also says. Paul is probably thinking of the woman’s creation “from” and “for” the man (see 11:8–9; Gen. 2:20–24), as well as a general pattern of male leadership among the people of Israel in the OT.
The Resurrection of Christ
[1] Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I proclaimed as good news to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
[2] by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I proclaimed to you as good news, unless you believed for nothing.
[1Co 15:1-2 LSB]
[3] For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
[4] and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
[5] and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
[1Co 15:3-5 LSB]
[10] But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
[1Co 15:10 LSB]
The Resurrection of the Dead
[20] But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
[21] For since by a man [came] death, by a man also [came] the resurrection of the dead.
[22] For 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, after that those who are Christ's at His coming. [1Co 15:10, 20-23 LSB]
The Resurrection Body
[45] So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
[1Co 15:45 LSB]
[51] Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
[52] in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
[53] For this corruptible must put on the incorruptible, and this mortal must put on immortality.
[54] But when this corruptible puts on the incorruptible, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the word that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.
[1Co 15:51-54 LSB]
The Collection of Gifts
Final Instructions and Greetings
[13] Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
[14] Let all that you do be done in love.
[1Co 16:13-14 LSB]
[22] If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed. Maranatha.
[1Co 16:22 LSB]
