Week 42

1 Corinthians 7:23-24 KJV

23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

1 Corinthians 7:23-24 NIRV

23 Christ has paid the price for you. Don’t become slaves of human beings. 
24 Brothers and sisters, each person is accountable to God. So each person should stay as they were when God chose them.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 KJV

24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NIRV

24 In a race all the runners run. But only one gets the prize. You know that, don’t you? So run in a way that will get you the prize. 
25 All who take part in the games train hard. They do it to get a crown that will not last. But we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 
26 So I do not run like someone who doesn’t run toward the finish line. I do not fight like a boxer who hits nothing but air. 
27 No, I train my body and bring it under control. Then after I have preached to others, I myself will not break the rules. If I did break them, I would fail to win the prize.

1 Corinthians 12:12 KJV

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.

1 Corinthians 12:12 NIRV

12 There is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body. It is the same with Christ.

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 KJV

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 NIRV

4 Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud. 
5 It does not dishonor other people. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people’s wrongs.
