THE ACTIVITY OF GOD IN THE BIBLE - I CORINTHIANS - CHAPTERS 9 -16, PART II

  The Activity of God

Going through the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, phrase by phrase and word by word to give attention to the following:
--the Names of God;
--the word & deeds of God;
--the sayings of God;
--the attributes of God;

Too often the churches weakness and the Christians weakness is found in this one sin, 'we do not know God'.  We have not studied the Bible, nor Him to learn more of Him.  Seeking that this might be a help for myself and others in this pursuit that each of us 'may grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord.

I CORINTHIANS
Chapter 9

9:1      Am I not an apostle?  am I not free?  have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?  are not ye my work in the Lord?    God's apostles;  Christ Name - Jesus Christ our Lord;  Christ seen; God's work;

9:2      If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you:  for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.     God's apostles;  God's children, church;  God's people in the Lord through His servants;

9:5      Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?     God's servants power and ability;  God's brethren of the Lord;  God's children, church;

9:9      For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn.  Doth God take care for oxen?      And God said/spoke;  God's law of Moses;  God takes care of His creation, takes care of oxen;

9:10     Or saith he it altogether for our sakes?  For our sakes, no doubt, this is written    And God said/spoke;

9:11      If we have sown unto you spiritual things      God's ways and truths and word is spiritual things;

9:12     but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.      Christ gospel;  God's gospel hindered;

9:13      Do ye not know that they which minsiter about holy things live of the things of the temple?  and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?      God's ministers of holy things;  God's temple;  God's holy things; God's altar;

9:14      Even so hath the Lord ordained that they whihc preach the gospel should live of the gospel.     God ordains preaching of the gospel;  God's gospel preached; God's servants to live the gospel;  God's gospel lived;

9:16      For though I preach the gospel. . . if I preach not the gospel      God's gospel preached (2);

9:17      a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.     God's gospel

9:18      when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that i abuse not my power in the gospel.     God's gospel preached;  Christ gospel without charge;  God's gospel of power in those that preach it not abused;

9:21       being not without to God, but under the law to Christ      God's law held to Him;  Christ law to live under Him;

9:22      that I might by all means save some.     God's salvation by His servants;

9:23       And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.     God's gospel sake;  God's servants partaking together with Him;

9:24      that ye may obtain      God's rewards to be obtained;

9:25     but we an incorruptible.    God's incorruptible crown;

9:27      lest that by any other means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.     God's gospel preached;  God's servants preach, and fear of castaway;

Chapter 10

10:1      all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;     God's cloud over Israel;  God caused Israel to pass through Red Sea;

10:2      And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;    God's children baptized;  God's cloud;

10:3       And did all eat the same spiritual meat:     God's children eat His meat;  God's spiritual meat;

10:4      And did all drink the same spiritual drink:  for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:  and that Rock was Christ.    God's people drank His spiritual drink;  God's spiritual drink;  Christ Name - Rock;  Christ is the Rock that gave water for them to drink;

10:5     But with many of them God was not well pleased:  for they were overthrown in the wilderness.  God not well pleased with HIs children;  

10:7      Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them, as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.     And God said/spoke;  God's people to not be idolaters; God's people sin against Him;

10:8    God's children slew for sin of fornication;

10:9      Neither let us tempt Christ as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.    Christ to not be tempted by His Own people;  God's people destroyed for tempting Him;

10:10   God's children murmured against Him, and were destroyed;

10:11     and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.    And God said/spoke; God's written word for His children's admonition; 

10:13      There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:  but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.     God is faithful;  I will's of God to not suffer you to be tempted above you are able to deal with;  I will's of God to make an escape that His servants be able to bear it;  God's children to bear it and escape;

10:16      The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?  The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?     Christ cup of blessing in communion is HIs blood;  Christ blood;  Christ bread of blessing broken in communion is His body;  Christ body;

10:17      For we being many are one bread, and one body:  for we are all partakers of that one bread.    Christ is One;  Christ body is One;  Christ servants are one with Him in HIs body;

10:20      But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God:  and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.      God is not sacrificed to by Gentiles;  God's children to not have fellowship with devils;

10:21      Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils:  ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.     Christ cup to not be drank with cup of devils;  Christ's table not to be partaken with table of devils;  Christ cup and table for Him alone;

10:22      Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?  are we stronger than He?     God provoked to jealousy;  God is strongest, none stronger than Him, Omnipotent;

10:26      For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.    God owns the earth;  God's creation of the earth and its fulness is His;

10:28    and for conscience sake:  for the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof:     God's earth and its fulness is HIs;  God's servants to eat what is set before them;

10:30     For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?    God's grace allows for us to be partakers with Him;  God's given thanks;

10:31     Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.    God's glory to be done by all that His servants do;  

10:32      Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:    God's church to not be done anything that offends;  God's servants to not offend any;

10:33     that they may be saved.   God's work of salvation for lost souls;

Chapter 11

11:1      Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.     Christ to be followed;  Christ follower Paul;

11:3      but I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.    Christ is the head of every man;  God is the head of Christ;

11:4   God's servants praying unto Him;

11:5      But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head:  for that is even all one as if she were shaven.     God's servants pray;  God's servants prophesy;  God's servants pray and prophesieth uncovered dishonours Him;  

11:7      For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.     God's glory;  God made man in His image;

11:9    God created woman for the man;

11:10     because of the angels.    God's angels;

11:11     Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.     God has men and women for His purpose and will;

11:12      For as the woman is of hte man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.   God's will in all things and for His purpose;  

11:13     Judge in yourselves:  is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?    God prayed to by woman uncovered;

11:14   God's nature reveals;

11:15  God's glory revealed in the woman;

11:16      But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.    God's churches to be without contentions; God's churches no such custom;

11:17    God's churches coming together for the worse, not the better;

11:18     For first of all when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.    God's people come together;  God's people divided;

11:19     For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.     God's church and people found with heresies;  God's people approved among them;

11:20     When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.    Christ supper;   God's church come together into one place;

11:22      What?  have ye not houses to eat and to drink in?  or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not?  What shall I say to you?  shall I praise you in this?  I praise you not.    God's people eat and drink in their houses, not God's house;  God's church to not be despised;

11:23      For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread:      Christ gives to Paul to receive instruction on communion;   God's people delivered these truths;  Christ Jesus betrayed;  Christ took bread;

11:24      And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat:  this is My body, which is broken for you:  this do in remembrance of Me.    -  Christ gives thanks to God; Christ brake the bread; And God said/spoke;  Christ gives directive to eat the bread;  Christ body symbolized as bread;  Christ body broken for them;  Christ to be remembered through this act of communion;

11:25      After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood:  this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me.     Christ takes cup;  Christ supped;  And God said/spoke;  Christ instructs of new covenant;  Christ blood symbolized by wine; Christ instructs them that as they drink it, they remember Him and His sacrifice;  Christ remembered through this act of communion;

11:26      For as often as ye eat this, bread, and drink this cup, you do shew the Lord's death till He come.     Christ body eaten;  Christ blood drank;  Christ death shown by taking part in this communion;  Christ to be honored this way till He comes;  Christ return;

11:27      Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.    Christ body and blood to be partaken worthily;  Christ warns against those that eat and drink unworthily;  

11:28      But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.     Christ body and blood, eat and drink rightly;  Christ servants to examine themselves before joining Christ's communion;

11:29      For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.     Christ body and blood, eat and drink to be done worthily;  Christ gives warning to those that eat and drink unworthily; Christ body not discerned rightly;

11:30      For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.     Christ servants and church have drank and eaten unworthily and they are afflicted;

11:31      For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.     Christ church to judge itself, here and now;  God to judge then;

11:32     But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.     God chastens His Own;  Christ church judges itself;  God to condemn the world;

11:34   Christ church warned about coming together and eating wrongly;

Chapter 12

12:1      Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.    God's children have spiritual gifts;

12:3      Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed:  and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.     God's children speak by the Spirit of God;  Christ is not accursed;  Christ is Lord by the Holy Ghost affirmation upon Christ church;  Holy Ghost empowers men to pronounce Christ as Lord;

12:4     Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.    God's Holy Spirit same as gifts are diverse but same source of God;  God's Spirit gives gifts of diversities;

12:5     And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.    God the Lord is same;  God's gifts of administration are different but same in God;

12:6      And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.    God the same in giving of diversities of operations;  God works it all in all;

12:7      But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.     God's Holy Spirit manifested to give every one to profit;

12:8      For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;    God's Spirit gives word of wisdom;  God's Spirit gives word of knowledge;  Holy Spirit the same, but different gifts given to God's children;

12:9      To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;    God's Spirit gives gifts;  Holy Spirit allots gifts to saints;  God's gifts of faith and healing;

12:10   God's gifts of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues;

12:11    But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as HE will.    God's Spirit worketh one and the same;  I will's of God to divide as He sees fit;

12:12     For as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body:  so also is Christ.    Christ is head of the body;  Christ is one , but has many members as His church and saints;

12:13     For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.    God's Spirit baptizeth all into one body;  Christ church is one body in Him;  God's Spirit makes the body drink into Him;

12:14      For the body is not one member, but many.    Christ body is many members;

12:18      But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him.    God sets members in the body; Please God;  God is pleased with church;

12:20      But now are they many members, yet but one body.    Christ church has many members, but One body in Him; 

12:22     Christ body has weak and feeble members, which are necessary;

12:23      Christ body has members of the body honorable and those that are uncomely;

12:24      For our comely parts have no need:  but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:     God tempers the body of Christ together;   God gives honour;  

12:25       That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.     Christ body of the church to have no schism;  Christ church members have same care one for another;

12:26      And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.     God's church members suffer together;  God's church members rejoice when one is honoured;

12:27      Now ye are the body of Christ, and mrmbers in particular.    Christ body;  Christ members, the church;

12:28     And God hath set some in the church, first apostlrs, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.    God sets in the church these duties;   

12:29      Are all apostles?  are all prophets?  are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?   God's church members made up of different positions;  

12:30     Have all the gifts of  healing? do all speak with tongues?  do all interpret?    God's church members made up of different gifts;

Chapter 13

13:1      Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.     God's men;  God's angels;   God's children have charity;

13:2      And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.     God's children that are prophets;  God's children that understand and have knowledge;  God's children that have faith;  God's children to have love;

13:3    God's children to have love;

13:4 - 9   God's Divine love described

13:10     But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.    God's perfect plan and purpose and eternity;

13:13      And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.     God's gifts and works to His children, faith, hope and charity;  God's greatest gift and work in His children is Divine love;  

Chapter 14

14:1      Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.    God's people to have Divine love;  God's people to desire spiritual gifts from God;  God's word to be prophesied;

14:2     For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God:  for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.     God spoken to in unknown tongue of men;  God understands him;  God's Spirit man speaks God's mysteries;

14:3     But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.     God's word prophesied and spoken to men;  God's word edifies, exhorts and comforts;

14:4      He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.     God's word spoken to edify;  God's word prophesied edifies Christ church;

14:5      I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied:  for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.    God's people speak with tongues and to prophesy;  Christ's church edified with prophesy;

14:12      Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.     God's people to be zealous for spiritual gifts;  God's church edified;

14:13      Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.    God's people speak with unknown tongue;  God's people to pray that he may be interpreted;

14:14      For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.    God prayed to in an unknown tongue;   God prayed to through man's spirit;

14:15     What is it then?  I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also:  I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.     God prayed to in the spirit;  God prayed to with understanding;  God sang to in the spirit;  God sang to with understanding;

14:16      Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?    God's people bless in the Spirit; God given thanks;

14:17      For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.    God given thanks;  God's people not edified through not understanding;

14:18     I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.    God thanked;  God spoken to and about through tongues;

14:19      Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.     God's church words spoke before in learned and unlearned tongues;

14:21     In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear ME, saith the Lord.    And God said/spoke (2);  I will's of God to speak to men of other tongues;  God not heard by them;

14:22     Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not:  but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.    God's children that believe and speak in tongues; God's servants prophesy of Him;

14:23     If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?     God's church come together into one place;  God's children that speak with tongues;

14:24      But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:    God's children and church prophesies;  God convicts and convinces men and judges men;

14:25      And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest: and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.    God Spirit reveals to men what's in their heart;  God worshipped;  God is in them to be reported;

14:26       How is it then, brethren?  when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation.  Let all things be done unto edifying.    God's people come to together;  God's children not pleasing God;  God's children does as God does all things in order unto edifying;

14:27      If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.     God's children and church speaking in unknown tongue;  God's children and church to interpret;

14:28      But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.    God's church to be in silence if not practicing rightly before God;  God spoken to by that one speaking in unknown tongue;

14:29     Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the others judge.    God's children and church to have two or three prophets speak God's word;  God's children to judge;

14:31     For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.     God's people prophecy;  God's people to learn;  God's people to be comforted;

14:32      And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.     God's prophets given Spirit of Him to speak and reveal;

14:33      For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.     God is not author of confusion;  God is author of peace in all of His church;  God's churches made of saints;

14:34      Let your women keep silence in the churches:  for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.      God ordains women to be silent in the church;  the Lord commanded;  God commands women to be under obedience;  And God said/spoke;

14:35     for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.    God's church not to be brought to shame by woman speaking;

14:36     What?  came the word of God out from you?   or came it unto you only?    God's word came in and out for His purpose;   And God said/spoke;

14:37      If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.     God's prophet and spiritual men;  And God said/spoke;  the Lord commanded;   God commanded these things for His people;  God's saints agree with God in these things;

14:39      Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.    God's brethren the church to covet to prophecy;  God's church to not forbid tongues to be spoken;

14:40      Let all things be done decently and in order.    God's church to do things decently and in order;  God does things decently and in order of His will;

Chapter 15

15:1     Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;    God's gospel declared unto them;  God's gospel preached unto them;  God's gospel received;  God's people stand in His Gospel truth;

15:2     By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.    God saves His people;  God's gospel preached unto them to be remembered;  God knows those that believe in vain;

15:3     For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according ot the scriptures:     God's gospel delivered unto them;  Christ died for our sins;  God's word declares this truth;  And God said/spoke;

15:4      And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:    Christ buried;  Christ rose again the third day;  And God said/spoke;

15:5     And that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:     Christ seen by Peter;  Christ seen by twelve (eleven);

15:6      After that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.     Christ seen of 500 brethren;  Christ saints remain alive, other have died;

15:7      After that He was seen of James; then of all the apostles.    Christ seen by James;  Christ seen by all apostles;

15:8    And last of all He was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.    Christ seen of Paul; 

15:9     For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.    God's apostles;  God's church persecuted;

15:10     But the grace of God I am what I am; and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.   God's grace makes us what we are; God's grace bestowed upon whom the Lord sees fit; God's grace not to be given in vain; God's grace causes us to labor more abundantly;  God's grace with us;

15:11     Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.    God's gospel preached;  God's gospel believed on;

15:12     Now if Christ be preached that He rose, from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?     Christ preached;  Christ rose from dead;  Christ resurrection dneied by some;

15:13     But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:    Christ risen;  Christ resurrection not believed on by some;

15:14     And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.    Christ is risen; Christ preached is not in vain;  Christ children faith in Him is not in vain;

15:15     YEa, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ:  Whom He raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.    God's witness to be found faithful;  God caused Christ to rise;  Christ raised up; God's resurrection of Christ testified by His people;  

15:16      For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised;   Christ raised from dead;  Christ servants raised also;

15:17      And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.    Christ raised;  Christ servants have faith in Him;  Christ servants faith is not in vain;  Christ removes and forgives sins;

15:18  Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.    Christ servants are not perishing;  Christ servants die in Him;

15:19     If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.    Christ gives hope to those whose life is in Him;

15:20      But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.    Christ risen from the dead;  Christ firstfruits of those that die;

15:21     For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.     Christ was man and God;  Christ gives resurrection from dead;

15:22     For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.    Christ makes men alive in Him;

15:23     But every man in his own order:  Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at His coming.     Christ is the firstfruits;  Christ servants shall be at His coming;  Christ second coming;

15:24       Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.     Christ shall deliver up God's kingdom to the Father;  God's kingdom;  Father receive kingdom from Christ;  Christ shall put down all rule, authority and power;  

15:25     For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet.    Christ reigns;  Christ puts all enemies under HIs feet; Christ feet;

15:27      For He hath put all things under His feet.  But when He saith all things are put under Him, it is manifest that HE is excepted, which did put all things under Him.      Christ puts all things under His feet;  Christ feet;  And God said/spoke;  Christ puts all things under Him; Christ makes manifest but is excepted;  Christ has all things under Him;

15:28      And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him; that God may be all in all.    Christ to have all things subdued unto Him;  Christ the Son;  Christ subject to God in all things;  God has all things put under Him through Christ;   God to be all in all;

15:31     I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.    Christ Jesus gives him to protest against their rejoicing;  Christ died to daily;

15:32      If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not?    God's church enemies called beasts of Ephesus;  God's servant, Paul, fights with enemy;  Christ rose from dead;  

15:34     Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God; I speak this to your shame.     God's people to awake to righteousness;  God's people to not sin; God children do not have the knowledge of God; 

15:35      But some man will sya, How are the dead raised up?  and with what body do they come?    God's children raised up;  God raises the dead;  God's children to have a new body;

15:38     But God giveth it a body as it hath please Him, and to every seed His Own body.    God gives a body to His children in raising them up;  Please God;  God is pleased with doing this;  God's Own body give them this seed of life in Him;

15:40      There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial:  but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.    God creates different bodies of celestial and terrestrial;  God gives them glory different one from another;

15:42      So also is the resurrection of the dead.  It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:    God resurrects the dead;  God raises it in incorruption;

15:43      It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory:  ti is won in weakness; it is raise din power.    God resurrects the dead in glory;  God raises it in power;

15:44      It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.  There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.    God sows and reaps;  God raises spiritual body; God gives spiritual body;

15:45     And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.     And God said/spoke;   God made first Adam a living soul;   Christ is last Adam;  God makes quickening spirit;  

15:46      Howbeit that was not the first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.     God makes the natural; God makes the spiritual;  God makes them in order, first and afterward;

15:47      The first man is of the earth, earthy:  the second man is the Lord from heaven.    God made first man, of the dust, earthy;  Christ is Lord from heaven;  Christ is the second man;

15:48    God makes earthly and heavenly;

15:49    God makes men to bear earthly first, heavenly image second;

15:50      Now, this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.    God's kingdom cannot be inherited by flesh and blood;  God's kingdom doth not inherit corruption;

15:52     In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:  for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.    God's last trump to sound; God to raise the dead to incorruptible;  God shall change them;

15:53      For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.    God to put on incorruption on saints;  God to put on immortality of saints;

15:54      So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saving that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.    God to put on incorruption of saints; God to put on immortality of saints; And God said/spoke;  Christ victorious over death;

15:57      But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.    God to be thanked;  Christ Name - Lord Jesus Christ;  Christ gives His children the victory;

15:58      Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.    God's church to be steadfast, unmoveable and abound in God's work;  God's work to be done; God's work is not in vain;

Chapter 16

16:1     Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.    God's saints;  God's church and giving;

16:2     Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.    God's day, Lord's day first of the week;  God prospers His children for tithes to be given;

16:7      For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.    God permits Pauls' path and way;

16:8    until, Pentecost.    God's Pentecost, Holy Ghost came down;

16:10      for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.    God's work being worked by Timothy;

16:13     Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.    God's church and Christians to watch, stand in faith, quite themselves as men and be strong;

16:14      Let all your things be done with charity.     God's children to do all things with the Love of God;

16:15     to the ministry of the saints.     God's children serve in ministry to saints;

16:19     The churches of Asia salute you.  Aquila and Priscilia salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.     God's churches;  Christ Name - Lord; Christ Name they salute one another;

16:20     All the brethren greet you.  Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.    God's saints to greet one another with holy kiss;  God's church - brethren;

16:22     If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.    Christ Name - Lord Jesus Christ;  Christ not loved, pronounced upon Anathema Maranatha;

16:23      The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.    Christ Name - Lord Jesus Christ;  Christ grace upon HIs beloved;

16:24      My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.    Christ Name - Christ Jesus; Christ love among the brethren for one another;
