Last month, I started a personal Bible study in the book of first Corinthians. I guess I just thought I'd like to share some things that stuck out to me in every chapter so I'll try and catch up to that. Right now I'm in chapter 10. May take some time...haha. Enjoy.
1 Corinthians 1
>As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of Christ.
>Perfectly joined together in the same mind and judgement
>For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God
1 Corinthians 2
>My speech and preaching were...in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
>But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory.
>For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
>Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
1 Corinthians 3
>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; for you are still carnal.
>So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God gives the increase.
>I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it.
>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.
>If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
>If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
>Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
>For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
>For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come-all are yours. And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
1 Corinthians 4
>Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to the light hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God.
>We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ.
>For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
1 Corinthians 5
>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.
>Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."
1 Corinthians 6
>Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?
>Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
>But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers.
>Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?
>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.
>But he who is joined to the Lord is one Spirit with Him.
>For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 7
>For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
>For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wide is sanctified by the husband, otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
>Brethren, let each one remain with God in the state in which he was called.
>Serve the Lord without distraction.
1 Corinthians 8
>Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
>We know that an idol is nothing in this world, and that there is no other God but one.
>Yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him.
>Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
1 Corinthians 9
>Am I not free?
>If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you.
>That he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be a partaker of his hope.
>Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.
>For if I do this willingly, I have a reward.
>For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more.
>To the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak.
>But if I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
1 Corinthians 10
>For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
>No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
>For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
>Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.
>Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
>Not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
1 Corinthians 11
>But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
>For a man...is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
>For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.
>But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned by the world.
