| 1 Corinthians 3 | | In the Following Directives, I have no Praise, for you, for your Meetings, do more Harm, than good. In the First Place, I Hear, that when you come together, as a Assembly, there are Divisions, among you, and to some extent, I believe it, no Doubt, there have to be Differences, among you, to Show which, of you, have Elohim's Approval, when you gather together therefore, you do not Eat, and Drink, as is Appropriate, on the Day, of our Lord, but some Men, Eat their Supper, before others, and so it happens, that One is Hungry, and another is Drunken, why, have you not Houses, to Eat, and Drink in, or do you not Respect, the Assembly, of Elohim, and want to Shame those, who have Nothing. What shall I Say, to you, shall I Praise you, no, for this, I cannot Praise you, for I myself Received, from Elohim, that which I Imparted to you, that our Lord, Yeshua, on that very Night, in which he was Betrayed, took Bread, and when he had given Thanks, he Broke it, and Said, take, Eat, this is my Body, which is broken, for you, this do in Remembrance, of me, likewise after Supper, he also gave the Cup, and Said, this Cup, is the New Testament, in my Blood, do this as often, as you Drink it, in Remembrance of me. For whenever you Eat, this Bread, and Drink, this Cup, you Commemorate, our Lord's Death, until his coming. Therefore, whosoever shall Eat, of our Lord's Bread, and Drink, of his Cup, and is not Worthy, of it, is Guilty, of the Blood, and Body, of our Lord. A Man, ought to Examine himself, before he Eats, of the Bread, and Drinks, of the Cup, for anyone, who Eats, and Drinks, without Recognizing the Body, of our Lord, Eats, and Drinks, Judgment on himself, that is why, many among you, are Weak, and Sick, and a Number, of you, have Fallen Asleep, but if we Judged ourselves, we would not come under Judgment, when we are Judged, by Elohim. We are Simply Chastened, so that, we may not be Condemned, with the World, so then my Brothers, when you come together, to Eat, wait for each other, if anyone is Hungry, he should Eat, at Home, so that you, may not come together, unto Condemnation, as to the Rest, of the things, I will Instruct you, when I come.
Now about the Power, Brothers, I do not want you, to be Ignorant, you Know that when you were Pagans, somehow, or other, you were Influenced, Led away, after Idols, in which there is not Speech. I therefore, Inform you, that there is no one, who is Speaking, through the Power, of Elohim, Says, Yeshua, be Cursed, and no one can Say, Yeshua, is Lord, except through the Power, there are Different Manifestations, of the Power, but there is only One Power, there are Different kinds, of Service, but there is only One Elohim, there are Different kinds, of Working, but it is the One Elohim, who Works all things, in all Men, but the Manifestations, of the Power, is given to every Man, as Help to him. Through the Power, the Message, of Wisdom, by means of the Power, the Message, of Knowledge, by the same Power, Believing, by that One Power, Healing, Miraculous Powers, Prophecy, Distinguishing between Powers, Speaking in Different kinds, of Tongues, Interpretation, of Tongues, but all of these Manifestations, are Wrought, of One, and the same Power. The Body, is a Unit, though it is made, of many Parts, and though all its Parts, are many, they form One Body, so it is with the Messiah, for we, were all Baptized, through the Messiah, into One Body, whether Israelite, or Gentile, Slave, or Free, and we were all given, the Power. Now the Body, is not made up, of One Part, but of many, for if the Foot, should Say, because I am not a Hand, I do not belong, to the Body, it would not, for that reason, cease to Part, of the Body, and if the Ear, should Say, because I am not an Eye, I do not Belong, to the Body, it would not, for that reason, cease to be Part, of the Body, if the whole Body, were an Eye, where would the Sense, of hearing, be if the whole Body, were an Ear, where would the Sense, of Smell be. But in fact, Elohim has Arranged, the Parts in the Body, everyone of them, just as he wanted them, to be, if they, were all One Part, where would the Body be, as it is, there are many Parts, but One Body, the Eye cannot Say, to the Hand, I do not need you.
On the Contrary, those Parts, of the Body, that seem to be Weaker, are Indispensable, and the Parts, that we Think, are less Honorable, we Treat, with special Honor, and the Parts, that are Unpresentable, are treated, with special Modesty, while our Presentable Parts, need no special treatment. But Elohim, has Combined the Members, of the Body, and has given Greater Honor, to the Parts, that lacked it, so that, there might be no Disunion, in the Body, but that all the Members Equally, might care, for One another, if One Part Suffers, every Part Suffers, with it, if One Part, is Honored, every Part Rejoices, with it. Now you are the Body, of the Messiah, and each One, of you, is a Part of it, and in the Assembly, Elohim has Appointed, First of all, Apostles, after them, Prophets, then Teachers, then Performers, of Miracles, then those, who Heal, Helpers, Leaders, and kinds, of Tongues, are all Apostle, are all Prophets, are all Teachers, are all Workers, of Miracles, do all Heal, do all Speak, in Diverse Tongues, or do all Interpret. But if you are Searching, for the Knowledge, I will Show you, a more Excellent way, if I could Speak, in every Tongue, of Men, and in that of Angels, and have not Love, in my Mind, I am only a Resounding Gong, or a Clanging Cymbal. If I Prophesy, and can Fathom, all Mysteries, and all Knowledge, and if my believing, can move Mountains, but have not Love, in my Mind, I am Nothing, if I give all, I Possess, to the Poor, and though I give my Body, that I may Boast, but have not Love, in my Mind, I Gain Nothing. Love is Patient, Love is Kind, it does not Envy, it does not Boast, it is not Proud, it is not Rude, it is not self Seeking, it is not easily Angered, it keeps no Record, of Wrongs, Love does not Delight, in Evil, but Rejoices, with the Truth, it always Protects, always Trusts, always Hopes, always Perseveres, Love never Fails, but where there are Prophecies, they will Cease, where there are Tongues, they will be Silent, where there is Knowledge, it will Vanish away. For it is a Little, of much, that we Know, and a Little, of much, we Prophesy, but when Perfection comes, the Imperfect Disappears, when I was a Child, I Talked, like a Child, I thought like, a Child, I reasoned like, a Child, when I became a Man, I put Childish ways, Behind me, but now, as in a Mirror, we See, but a Poor Reflection, but then the Face, before the Face. Now I Know a Little, of much, but then I shall Know Fully, even as I am Fully Known, and now, these Three Remain, believing, Hope, and Love, but the Greatest, of these is Love, Pursue Love, and Eagerly Desire, Manifesting the Power.
Especially Prophecy, for anyone who Speaks, in a Tongue, does not Speak, to Men, but Elohim, indeed, no one Understands him, he Utters Mysteries, through the Power, but everyone who Prophesies, Speaks to Men, for their Building up, Encouragement, and Comfort. He who Speaks, in a Tongue, Edifies himself, but he who Prophesies, Edifies the Assembly. I would like everyone of you, to Speak in Tongues, but I would rather have you, Prophesy, he who Prophesies, is Greater, than One, who Speaks, in Tongues, unless he Interprets, so that the Assembly, may Receive Building up. But now Brothers, if I come to you, and Speak, in Tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you, some Revelation, or Knowledge, or Prophecy, or Word, of Instruction, for even Inanimate things, that Emit Sound, whether Pipe, or Harp, how will anyone Know, what Tune, is being Played, unless there is a Distinction, between One Note, and another, and if the Trumpet, Call a Voice, which is not Distinguished, who will Prepare, for the Battle. So it is with you, unless you Speak, Intelligible Words, with your Tongue, how will anyone Know, what you are Saying, you will Just be Speaking, into the Air. Undoubtedly, there are all sorts, of Languages, in the World, yet none of them, is without meaning, if then, I do not Grasp, the Meaning, of what someone is Saying, I am a Barbaric, to the Speaker, and he is a Barbaric, to me, so it is with you, since you are Eager, to Manifest the Power, try to Excel in Manifestations, that Build up, the Assembly, that you may Abound. |
