1 Corithians

Question 1

Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?

Answer 1

1 Corinthians 6:2-3

Question 2

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “ He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness”; and again, “ The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.”

Answer 2

1 Corinthians 3:18-20

Question 3

but just as it is written,
“ Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the heart of man,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Answer 3

1 Corinthians 2:9

Question 4

I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

Answer 4

1 Corinthians 15:31-32

Question 5

To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless; and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure; when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

Answer 5

1 Corinthians 4:11-13

Question 6

But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Answer 6

1 Corinthians 13:13

Question 7

and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

Answer 7

1 Corinthians 15:8-10

Question 8

For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

Answer 8

1 Corinthians 15:21-22

Question 9

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.

Answer 9

1 Corinthians 6:12

Question 10

Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one would say you were baptized in my name.

Answer 10

1 Corinthians 1:12-15

Question 11

For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,

Answer 11

1 Corinthians 1:26-28

Question 12

I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,

Answer 12

1 Corinthians 3:2

Question 13

Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

Answer 13

1 Corinthians 9:26-27

Question 14

Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

Answer 14

1 Corinthians 8:13

Question 15

So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.

Answer 15

1 Corinthians 9:14

Question 16

Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall. No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

Answer 16

1 Corinthians 10:12-13

Question 17

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.

Answer 17

1 Corinthians 5:6-7

Question 18

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

Answer 18

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Question 19

Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy. I think then that this is good in view of the present distress, that it is good for a man to remain as he is. Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife. But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.

Answer 19

1 Corinthians 7:25-28

Question 20

For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.

Answer 20

1 Corinthians 15:16-17

Question 21

What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

Answer 21

1 Corinthians 14:26

Question 22

Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

Answer 22

1 Corinthians 11:1

Question 23

Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.
But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I. But if they do not have self- control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

Answer 23

1 Corinthians 7:7-9

Question 24

The Mystery of Resurrection
Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Answer 24

1 Corinthians 15:50

Question 25

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

Answer 25

1 Corinthians 2:12-13

Question 26

for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Answer 26

1 Corinthians 14:33

Question 27

Take Care with Your Liberty
Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies. If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know; but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.

Answer 27

1 Corinthians 8:1-3

Question 28

Do not be deceived:“Bad company corrupts good morals.”

Answer 28

1 Corinthians 15:33

Question 29

But earnestly desire the greater gifts.

And I show you a still more excellent way.

Answer 29

1 Corinthians 12:31

Question 30

For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.

Answer 30

1 Corinthians 4:20

Question 31

But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.

Answer 31

1 Corinthians 4:3-4

Question 32

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

Answer 32

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Question 33

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

Answer 33

1 Corinthians 9:24

Question 34

Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.

Answer 34

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

Question 35

When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

Answer 35

1 Corinthians 13:11-12

Question 36

Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “ The two shall become one flesh.” But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

Answer 36

1 Corinthians 6:16-19

Question 37

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became A living soul.” The last Adam became a life- giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.

Answer 37

1 Corinthians 15:45-47

Question 38

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more. To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some. I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

Answer 38

1 Corinthians 9:19-23

Question 39

If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

Answer 39

1 Corinthians 9:11

Question 40

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

Answer 40

1 Corinthians 10:33

Question 41

For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work. If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Answer 41

1 Corinthians 3:11-15

Question 42

The Excellence of Love
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

Answer 42

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Question 43

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

Answer 43

1 Corinthians 15:42-44

Question 44

After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;

Answer 44

1 Corinthians 15:6

Question 45

If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.

Answer 45

1 Corinthians 15:19

Question 46

but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory;

Answer 46

1 Corinthians 2:7

Question 47

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

Answer 47

1 Corinthians 1:17

Question 48

But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.
For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Answer 48

1 Corinthians 2:14-15

Question 49

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well- pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

Answer 49

1 Corinthians 1:20-21

Question 50

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

Answer 50

1 Corinthians 12:3

Question 51

But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “ Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Answer 51

1 Corinthians 15:54-57

Question 52

So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

Answer 52

1 Corinthians 3:7-9

Question 53

The Lord’s Supper
For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

Answer 53

1 Corinthians 11:23-27

Question 54

But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so- called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler —not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?

Answer 54

1 Corinthians 5:11-12

Question 55

All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor.

Answer 55

1 Corinthians 10:23-24

Question 56

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.

Answer 56

1 Corinthians 14:14-15

Question 57

Paul’s Reliance upon the Spirit
And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

Answer 57

1 Corinthians 2:1-5

Question 58

But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.

Answer 58

1 Corinthians 7:32-35

Question 59

The Wisdom of God
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,
“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.”

Answer 59

1 Corinthians 1:18-19
