¹⁵ Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make `them' members of an harlot? let it be not!

⁵ so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

³⁰ because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;

²⁷ and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

¹⁶ He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, `Let it not be!'

¹² unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ,

¹⁵ and, being true in love, we may increase to Him `in' all things, who is the head -- the Christ;

¹⁶ from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love.

¹⁹ and not holding the head, from which all the body -- through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together -- may increase with the increase of God.

²³ because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ `is' head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,

²² and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him -- head over all things to the assembly,

²³ which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,

¹⁴ And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world;

²¹ the law, then, `is' against the promises of God? -- let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

¹⁷ And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, `is' then Christ a ministrant of sin? let it not be!

³ and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

¹⁷ and he saith, `Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup hath been found, he becometh my servant; and ye, go ye up in peace unto your father.'

³ for what, if certain were faithless? shall their faithlessness the faithfulness of god make useless?

⁴ let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it hath been written, `That Thou mayest be declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy being judged.'

³¹ Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law.

² let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still live in it?

¹⁵ What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!

⁷ What, then, shall we say? the law `is' sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

¹³ That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

¹³ the meats `are' for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body `is' not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

¹⁹ Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own,

⁶ let it not be! since how shall God judge the world?
