Summary Verses
3:1 Paul could not speak to the Corinthians as mature Christians, he had to speak to them as carnally minded babes in Christ. 3:4 Paul shows them how they should esteem all who preach the Gospel and not create division. 3:6 Everyone plays a different but integral part in spreading the Gospel of Christ. 3:10 Through the individual different gifts of each believer the whole body is edified. 3:16 Paul warns the Corinthians not to be drawn away toward profane things. 3:18 Paul rebukes the pride of the flesh, pride is foolishness and is a profane thing in the eyes of God. 4:1 Bringing in the definition of a true Apostle of Christ. 4:7 Paul shows the Corinthians that humility ought rather to be an honor than a shame unto those who are followers of Christ. 4:10 Paul and his fellow preachers have been made fools for the Gospels sake to bring glory to God and not themselves. 4:17 Paul commends Timothy whom he is sending to the teach the church. 5:1 Paul rebukes the church for tolerating a person who is an adulterer with incest and sexual immorality. 5:2 Paul tells the Corinthians that they should be ashamed and not rejoice in tolerance for such sin was not named even among the Gentiles. 5:3 Paul reminds them that believers will judge angels in heaven, therefore should they ought to judge matters between believers. 5:9 Paul reminds them that those who are evil, rebel against God and reject Christ shall go to Hell, therefore they church should not turn to them to judge small matters. 5:10 Such a person is to be disciplined by the church and returned to fellowship after they repent and cease sinning. 5:12 They are to discipline rather than tolerate, less the sin spread throughout the church body. 6:1 Paul also rebukes the church body for suing each other in Gentile court rather than letting the church decide the matter.

1st Corinthians Chapter 3
3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.
3:2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;
3:3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?
3:4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?
3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?
3:6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.
3:7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
3:8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
3:9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
3:10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.
3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
3:12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
3:13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.
3:14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
3:15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
3:17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;
3:20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
3:21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:
3:22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come-all are yours.
3:23 And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

1st Corinthians Chapter 4
4:1 Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.
4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
4:4 For I know nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.
4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.
4:6 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other.
4:7 For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
4:8 You are already full You are already rich You have reigned as kings without us-and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you
4:9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
4:10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ We are weak, but you are strong You are distinguished, but we are dishonored
4:11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.
4:12 And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
4:13 being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.
4:14 I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.
4:15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
4:16 Therefore I urge you, imitate me.
4:17 For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.
4:18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
4:19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
4:21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

1st Corinthians Chapter 5
5:1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles-that a man has his father’s wife
5:2 And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you.
5:3 For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed.
5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
5:6 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
5:7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.
5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
5:9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.
5:10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.
5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner-not even to eat with such a person.
5:12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?
5:13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”

1st Corinthians Chapter 6
6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
6:2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
6:3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
6:4 If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?
6:5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?
6:6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers
6:7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?
6:8 No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren
6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
6:11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
6:12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
6:13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
6:14 And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.
6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not
6:16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”
6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
6:18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
