1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,

2To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place of theirs and ours.

3Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

4I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,

5That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6As the teaching of Christ was confirmed in you,

7So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8Who also will confirm you to the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9God is faithful: by whom you are called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

2My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me.

3Lord, what is man, that you art made known to him? or the Son of Man, that you makest account of him?

4Man is like to emptiness: his days pass away like a shadow.

5Lord, bow down your heavens and descend: touch the mountains and they shall smoke.

6Send forth lightning, and you shall scatter them: shoot out your arrows, and you shall trouble them.

7Put forth your hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:

42Watch you therefore, because you know not what hour your Lord will come.

43But know this you, that if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.

44Therefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of Man will come.

45Who, thinkest you, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has appointed over his family, to give them food in season.

46Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing.

47Amen I say to you, he shall place him over all his goods.

48But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming:

49And shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and shall eat and drink with drunkards:

50The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not, and at an hour that he knows not:

51And shall separate him, and appoint his share with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
