Hello, and welcome to His
Words are Life. I'm Kelly Mowrer
00:00:15.55\00:00:18.76
and thank you for being
with us today to read the Bible.
00:00:18.79\00:00:22.21
Before we start
Let's pray together.
00:00:22.24\00:00:24.08
Dear Jesus, thank you so
much for the word that is a lamp
00:00:24.11\00:00:28.91
to our feet. It seems like there
are a lot of things that could
00:00:28.94\00:00:33.05
play into decisions that we
make. There are people telling
00:00:33.08\00:00:35.98
us opinions, there are messages
in the media and all around us.
00:00:36.01\00:00:40.62
There are ways that we could get
off your path; but help us in
00:00:40.65\00:00:44.96
the reading of Your Word, to not
wander from your path, but that
00:00:44.99\00:00:48.51
these words will keep our feet
safe and firm on solid ground.
00:00:48.54\00:00:51.87
We want to build our lives
on You. We love you so much.
00:00:51.90\00:00:54.79
Thank You. Amen.
00:00:54.82\00:00:56.52
We are reading today
from 1 Corinthians chapter 10,
00:00:56.55\00:01:01.34
and Paul is talking here
about different ways that we can
00:01:01.37\00:01:05.74
help our brothers and sisters,
who may be weak in conscience.
00:01:05.77\00:01:09.88
Even though things may
not seem a problem to us,
00:01:09.91\00:01:14.11
if they are a problem
to others we should gladly
00:01:14.14\00:01:16.81
bear that burden and not worry
about the freedom that we have
00:01:16.84\00:01:20.15
in Christ, to do whatever we
want, but rather be looking to
00:01:20.18\00:01:23.95
others to do what will be
building them up in their faith.
00:01:23.98\00:01:27.85
We are starting
now with verse 29,
00:01:27.88\00:01:30.52
and I'm reading from
the King James Version.
00:01:30.55\00:01:32.97
Again 1 Corinthians, chapter
10, and beginning with verse 29.
00:01:33.00\00:01:36.96
Conscience, I say, not
thine own, but of the other:
00:01:36.99\00:01:41.52
for why is my liberty judged
of another man's conscience?
00:01:41.55\00:01:45.47
For if I by grace be a partaker,
why am I evil spoken of
00:01:45.50\00:01:51.08
for that for
which I give thanks?
00:01:51.11\00:01:53.22
Whether therefore ye eat,
or drink, or whatsoever ye do,
00:01:53.25\00:01:58.37
do all to the glory of
God. Give none offense,
00:01:58.40\00:02:02.81
neither to the
Jews, nor to the Gentiles,
00:02:02.84\00:02:06.11
nor to the church of
God: Even as I please all men
00:02:06.14\00:02:09.90
in all things, not seeking mine
own profit, but the profit of
00:02:09.93\00:02:14.59
many, that they may be saved.
And now we're starting with
00:02:14.62\00:02:19.05
1 Corinthians chapter 11.
Be ye followers of me, even as
00:02:19.08\00:02:24.21
I also am of Christ. Now I
praise you, brethren, that you
00:02:24.24\00:02:28.62
remember me in all
things, and keep the ordinances,
00:02:28.65\00:02:31.21
as I delivered them to
you. But I would have you know,
00:02:31.24\00:02:34.68
that the head of every man is
Christ and the head of the woman
00:02:34.71\00:02:37.45
is the man; and the
head of Christ is God.
00:02:37.48\00:02:40.92
Every man praying or prophesying
having his head covered,
00:02:40.95\00:02:45.50
dishonoreth his head.
But every woman that prayeth
00:02:45.53\00:02:49.26
or prophesieth with her head
uncovered, dishonored her head:
00:02:49.29\00:02:53.61
for that is even all
one as if she were shaven.
00:02:53.64\00:02:57.06
For if the woman be not
covered, let her also be shorn:
00:02:57.09\00:03:01.50
but if it be a shame for a
woman to be shorn or shaven,
00:03:01.53\00:03:05.69
let her be covered. For a man
indeed ought not to cover his
00:03:05.72\00:03:10.34
head, forasmuch as he is
the image and glory of God:
00:03:10.37\00:03:14.14
but the woman is the glory of
the man. For the man is not of
00:03:14.17\00:03:18.51
the woman of the man. Neither
was the man created for the
00:03:18.54\00:03:23.38
woman; but the woman
for the man. For this cause
00:03:23.41\00:03:27.25
ought the woman have power on
her head because of the angels.
00:03:27.28\00:03:31.17
Nevertheless neither is the man
without the woman, neither the
00:03:31.20\00:03:35.37
woman without the man, in the
Lord. For as the woman is of the
00:03:35.40\00:03:39.93
man, even so is the man also by
the woman; but all things of God
00:03:39.96\00:03:45.96
Judge in yourselves: is
it comely that a woman pray
00:03:45.99\00:03:50.43
unto God uncovered? Doth not
even nature itself teach you,
00:03:50.46\00:03:55.13
that if a man have long
hair, it is a shame unto him?
00:03:55.16\00:03:59.16
But if a woman have long
hair, it is a glory to her:
00:03:59.19\00:04:03.03
for her hair is
given her for a covering.
00:04:03.06\00:04:05.97
But if any man seem to be
contentious, we have no such
00:04:06.00\00:04:10.03
custom, neither the churches of
God. Now in this that I declare
00:04:10.06\00:04:15.14
unto you I praise you not, that
ye come together not for the
00:04:15.17\00:04:20.05
better, but for the worse.
For first of all when you come
00:04:20.08\00:04:24.73
together in the church, I
hear that there be divisions
00:04:24.76\00:04:27.80
among you and I partly believe
it. For there must be also
00:04:27.83\00:04:32.16
heresies among you,
that they which are approved
00:04:32.19\00:04:35.52
may be made manifest among you.
When ye come together therefore
00:04:35.56\00:04:40.27
into one place, this is
not to eat the Lord's supper.
00:04:40.30\00:04:43.58
For in eating every one taketh
before other his own supper:
00:04:43.61\00:04:47.76
and one is hungry and one
is drunken. What? have ye not
00:04:47.79\00:04:51.41
houses to eat and to drink in?
Or despise ye the church of God,
00:04:51.44\00:04:56.39
and shame them that have
not? What shall I say to you?
00:04:56.42\00:05:00.34
shall I praise you in
this? I praise you not.
00:05:00.37\00:05:04.33
For I have received of the Lord
that which also I delivered unto
00:05:04.36\00:05:07.73
that the Lord Jesus, the same
night in which He was betrayed
00:05:07.76\00:05:12.47
took bread. And when He
had given thanks, he brake it,
00:05:12.50\00:05:16.68
and said, Take, eat, this is
my body which is broken for you.
00:05:16.71\00:05:22.75
This do in remembrance of
me. After the same manner also
00:05:22.78\00:05:28.20
He took the cup, when he
had supped, saying, This cup is
00:05:28.23\00:05:32.54
the new testament in my blood.
This do ye as often as ye drink
00:05:32.57\00:05:37.31
it, in remembrance of me. For as
often as ye eat this bread and
00:05:37.34\00:05:42.64
drink this cup, ye do show
the Lord's death till he come.
00:05:42.67\00:05:46.46
Wherefore whosoever shall eat
this bread and drink this cup of
00:05:46.49\00:05:51.36
the Lord unworthily, shall
be guilty of the body and blood
00:05:51.39\00:05:55.49
of the Lord. But let a man
examine himself and so let him
00:05:55.52\00:05:59.80
eat of that bread and drink
of that cup. For he that eateth
00:05:59.83\00:06:03.45
and drinketh unworthily,
eateth and drinketh damnation to
00:06:03.48\00:06:07.39
himself, not discerning
the Lord's body. For this cause
00:06:07.42\00:06:12.02
many are weak and sickly
among you, and many sleep.
00:06:12.05\00:06:16.36
For if we would judge ourselves
we should not be judged.
00:06:16.39\00:06:20.52
But when we are judged,
we are chastened of the Lord,
00:06:20.55\00:06:23.31
that we should not be
condemned with the world.
00:06:23.34\00:06:26.58
Wherefore, my brethren,
when ye come together to eat,
00:06:26.61\00:06:30.09
tarry one for another,
and if any man hunger, let him
00:06:30.12\00:06:34.01
eat at home that he come
not together unto condemnation.
00:06:34.04\00:06:37.85
And the rest will I
set in order when I come.
00:06:37.88\00:06:40.88
Continuing now in 1
Corinthians chapter 12.
00:06:40.91\00:06:45.46
Again, I am reading
from the King James Version.
00:06:45.49\00:06:48.96
Now concerning spiritual gifts,
brethren, I would not have you
00:06:48.99\00:06:53.90
ignorant. Ye know that ye
were Gentiles, carried away unto
00:06:53.93\00:06:58.66
these dumb idols,
even as you were led.
00:06:58.69\00:07:00.96
Wherefore I give you to
understand that no man, speaking
00:07:00.99\00:07:05.66
by the Spirit of God calleth
Jesus accursed: and that no man
00:07:05.69\00:07:09.65
can say that Jesus is the
Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
00:07:09.68\00:07:13.13
Now there are diversities
of gifts, but the same Spirit.
00:07:13.16\00:07:18.03
And there are differences of
administrations, but the same
00:07:18.06\00:07:21.98
Lord. And there are
diversities of operations,
00:07:22.01\00:07:25.64
but it is the same God
which worketh in all in all.
00:07:25.67\00:07:28.74
But the manifestation of
the Spirit is given to every man
00:07:28.77\00:07:33.33
to profit withal. For to
one is given by the Spirit
00:07:33.36\00:07:37.28
the word of Wisdom; to
another the word of knowledge
00:07:37.31\00:07:40.69
by the same Spirit; to another,
faith, by the same Spirit;
00:07:40.72\00:07:45.54
to another the gifts of
healing by the same Spirit;
00:07:45.57\00:07:49.53
and to another the working of
miracles; to another prophecy;
00:07:49.56\00:07:53.49
to another discerning of
spirits; to another divers kind
00:07:53.52\00:07:57.95
of tongues; to another
the interpretation of tongues;
00:07:57.98\00:08:01.87
but all these worketh that
one and the selfsame spirit,
00:08:01.90\00:08:06.68
dividing to every man, severally
as he will. For as the body
00:08:06.71\00:08:12.42
is one and has many members, and
all the members of that one body
00:08:12.45\00:08:17.36
being many, are one
body. So also is Christ.
00:08:17.39\00:08:21.58
For by one Spirit are we
all baptized into one body,
00:08:21.61\00:08:26.31
whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free,
00:08:26.34\00:08:30.88
and have all been made
to drink into one Spirit.
00:08:30.91\00:08:34.21
For the body is not
one member, but many.
00:08:34.24\00:08:37.88
If the foot shall say, Because I
am not the hand, I am not of the
00:08:37.91\00:08:42.43
body; is it
therefore not of the body?
00:08:42.46\00:08:45.14
And if the ear shall
say, Because I am not the eye,
00:08:45.17\00:08:48.12
I am not of the body; is
it therefore not of the body?
00:08:48.15\00:08:51.32
If the whole body were an
eye, where were the hearing?
00:08:51.35\00:08:55.41
If the whole were hearing,
where were the smelling?
00:08:55.44\00:08:59.14
But now hath God set the members
every one of them in the body,
00:08:59.17\00:09:04.23
as it hath pleased him. And
if they were all one member,
00:09:04.26\00:09:07.78
where were the body? But
now are they many members,
00:09:07.81\00:09:10.91
yet but one body. And the eye
cannot say unto the hand, I have
00:09:10.94\00:09:15.69
no need of thee: nor again, the
head to the feet, I have no need
00:09:15.72\00:09:20.21
of you. Nay, much more
those members of the body, which
00:09:20.24\00:09:23.98
seem to be more feeble are
necessary: And those members of
00:09:24.01\00:09:27.84
the body which we think to
be less honorable, upon these
00:09:27.87\00:09:32.14
we bestow more abundant honor;
and our uncomely parts have more
00:09:32.17\00:09:37.70
abundant comeliness. For
our comely parts have no need:
00:09:37.73\00:09:42.07
but God hath tempered the
body together, having given more
00:09:42.10\00:09:46.68
abundant honor to
that part which lacked:
00:09:46.71\00:09:49.60
That there should be no
schism in the body; but that the
00:09:49.63\00:09:53.83
members should have the
same care one for another.
00:09:53.86\00:09:57.16
And whether one member suffer,
all the members suffer with it;
00:09:57.19\00:10:01.81
or one member be honored,
all the members rejoice with it.
00:10:01.84\00:10:05.90
Now ye are the body of Christ,
and members in particular.
00:10:05.93\00:10:10.86
And God hath set some in
the church, first apostles,
00:10:10.89\00:10:14.20
secondarily prophets, thirdly
teachers, after that miracles,
00:10:14.23\00:10:18.51
then gifts of
healing, helps, governments,
00:10:18.54\00:10:22.32
diversities of tongues. Are
all apostles? are all prophets?
00:10:22.35\00:10:27.72
are all teachers? are
all workers of miracles?
00:10:27.75\00:10:30.57
Have all the gifts of healing?
Do all speak with tongues?
00:10:30.60\00:10:33.80
Do all interpret? But
covet earnestly the best gifts:
00:10:33.83\00:10:39.03
And yet shew I unto
you a more excellent way.
00:10:39.06\00:10:44.69
And now the beautiful
chapter of 1 Corinthians 13
00:10:44.72\00:10:49.51
Though I speak with the
tongues of men and of angels,
00:10:49.54\00:10:52.32
and have not charity, I am
become as sounding brass, or a
00:10:52.35\00:10:56.96
tinkling cymbal. And though
I have the gift of prophecy,
00:10:56.99\00:11:00.59
and understand all
mysteries, and all knowledge;
00:11:00.62\00:11:03.08
and though I have all faith, so
that I could remove mountains,
00:11:03.11\00:11:06.41
and have not charity, I am
nothing. And though I bestow
00:11:06.44\00:11:11.32
all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be
00:11:11.35\00:11:14.31
burned, and have not charity,
it profiteth me nothing.
00:11:14.34\00:11:18.26
Charity suffereth long, and
is kind; charity envieth not;
00:11:18.29\00:11:24.81
charity vaunteth not itself; is
not puffed up, doth not behave
00:11:24.84\00:11:29.54
itself unseemly, seeketh not
her own, is not easily provoked,
00:11:29.57\00:11:34.44
thinketh no evil; rejoiceth
not in iniquity, but rejoiceth
00:11:34.47\00:11:39.93
in the truth; beareth all
things believeth all things,
00:11:39.96\00:11:44.65
hopeth all things, endureth all
things. Charity never faileth:
00:11:44.68\00:11:51.22
but whether there be
prophecies, they shall fail;
00:11:51.25\00:11:54.77
whether there be
tongues, they shall cease;
00:11:54.80\00:11:56.92
whethere there be
knowledge. it shall vanish away.
00:11:56.95\00:12:00.46
For we know in part,
and we prophesy in part.
00:12:00.49\00:12:04.14
But when that which is perfect
is come, then that which is in
00:12:04.17\00:12:09.05
part shall be done away. When I
was a child, I spoke as a child,
00:12:09.08\00:12:14.02
I understood as a
child, I thought as a child:
00:12:14.05\00:12:16.77
But when I became a man,
I put away childish things.
00:12:16.80\00:12:20.67
For now, we see through a glass,
darkly; but then face to face:
00:12:20.70\00:12:26.71
Now I know in part,
but then shall I know
00:12:26.74\00:12:31.52
even as also I am known. And now
abideth faith, hope, charity,
00:12:31.55\00:12:38.71
these three; but the
greatest of these is charity.
00:12:38.74\00:12:43.02
Continuing to read in 1
Corinthians, chapter fourteen.
00:12:43.05\00:12:48.01
Follow after charity, and desire
spiritual gifts, but rather that
00:12:48.04\00:12:53.31
you may prophesy. For he that
speaketh in an unknown tongue
00:12:53.34\00:12:56.81
speaketh not unto men but unto
God: for no man understandeth
00:12:56.84\00:13:00.36
him; howbeit in the
spirit he speaketh mysteries.
00:13:00.39\00:13:03.41
But he that prophesieth speaketh
unto men to edification,
00:13:03.44\00:13:08.31
and exhortation, and comfort.
He that speaketh in an unknown
00:13:08.34\00:13:13.44
tongue edifieth himself;
but he that prophesieth edifieth
00:13:13.47\00:13:17.86
the church. I would that ye all
spake with tongues, but rather
00:13:17.89\00:13:22.91
that you prophesied: for
greater is he that prophesieth
00:13:22.94\00:13:25.95
than he that speaketh with
tongues, except ye interpret,
00:13:25.98\00:13:29.13
that the church may receive
edifying. Now brethren, if I
00:13:29.16\00:13:33.56
come unto you speaking with
tongues, what shall I profit you
00:13:33.59\00:13:36.91
except I shall speak to
you either by revelation or
00:13:36.94\00:13:39.94
by knowledge, or by
prophesying, or by doctrine?
00:13:39.97\00:13:43.81
And even these things without
live giving sound, whether pipe
00:13:43.84\00:13:48.71
or harp, except they give
a distinction in the sounds,
00:13:48.74\00:13:52.23
how shall it be known
what is piped or harped?
00:13:52.26\00:13:54.80
For if the trumpet
give an uncertain sound,
00:13:54.83\00:13:57.66
who shall prepare himself
to the battle? So likewise ye,
00:13:57.69\00:14:02.54
except ye utter by the tongue
words easy to be understood,
00:14:02.57\00:14:06.33
how shall it be known what
is spoken? for ye shall speak
00:14:06.36\00:14:09.05
into the air. There are, it
may be, so many kinds of voices
00:14:09.08\00:14:13.50
in the world, and none of
them is without signification.
00:14:13.53\00:14:16.99
Therefore if I know not the
meaning of the voice, I shall be
00:14:17.02\00:14:20.73
unto him that speaketh a
barbarian, and he that speaketh
00:14:20.76\00:14:24.05
shall be a barbarian unto
me. Thank you for being with me
00:14:24.08\00:14:28.36
today, until we are together
again, may the God of love
00:14:28.39\00:14:31.56
keep us loving each
other and Him more and more.
