1 Corinthians 4:19

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all Yahweh’s people were prophets, that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them!”

You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.

House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh.

Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.

For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,

But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?

A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”

After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”

After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”

I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.

Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.

even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.

and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages.

For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”

I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.

Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

But in giving you this command, I don’t praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.

I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you,

Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.

I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.

When he had gone through those parts, and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.

requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.

We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing.

Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.

Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

This will we do, if God permits.

For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”
