'God' in the Bible

Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

to the church of God sanctified in Christ Jesus that is in Corinth, called [to be] saints, together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their [Lord] and ours.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I give thanks to my God always concerning you, because of the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus,

God [is] faithful, by whom you were called to fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Where [is] the wise person? 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 know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

but to those [who are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ [is] the power of God and the wisdom of God.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than human [wisdom], and the weakness of God [is] stronger than human [strength].

But the foolish [things] of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the wise, and the weak [things] of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the strong,

and the insignificant of the world, and the despised, God chose, the things that are not, in order that he might abolish the things that are,

so that all flesh may not boast before God.

But from him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

And I, [when I] came to you, brothers, did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

in order that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery, which God predestined before the ages for our glory,

But just as it is written, "[Things] which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and have not entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him."

For to us God has revealed [them] through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all [things], even the depths of God.

For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? Thus also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who [is] from God, in order that we may know the things freely given to us by God,

But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing [it] to grow.

So then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who is causing [it] to grow.

According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon [it]. But each one must direct his attention to how he is building upon [it].

Do you not know that you are God's temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy this one. For God's temple is holy, which you are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it is written, "The one who catches the wise in their craftiness,"

Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord should come, who will both enlighten the hidden things of darkness and will reveal the counsels of hearts, and then praise will come to each one from God.

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as condemned to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world and to angels and to people.

For the kingdom of God [is] not with talk, but with power.

But those outside God will judge. Remove the evil person {from among yourselves}.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither sexually immoral people, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor passive homosexual partners, nor dominant homosexual partners,

nor thieves, nor greedy persons, not drunkards, not abusive persons, not swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

And some of you were these [things], but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Food [is] for the stomach, and the stomach for food, but God will abolish {both of them}. Now the body [is] not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

And God both raised up the Lord and will raise us up by his power.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [who is] in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God with your body.

I wish all people could be like myself, but each one has his own gift from God, one in this way and another in that way.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. The brother or the sister is not bound in such [cases]. But God has called us in peace.

But to each one as the Lord has apportioned. As God has called each one, thus let him live--and thus I order in all the churches.

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

Each one in [the situation] in which he was called, brothers--in this he should remain with God.

But she is happier if she remains thus, according to my opinion--and I think I have the Spirit of God.

But if anyone loves God, this one is known by him.

Therefore, concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that "an idol [is] nothing in the world" and that "[there is] no God except one."

yet to us [there is] one God, the Father, from whom [are] all [things], and we [are] for him, and [there is] one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom [are] all [things], and we [are] through him.

But food does not bring us close to God. For neither if we eat do we have more, nor if we do not eat do we lack.

For in the law of Moses it is written, "You must not muzzle an ox [while it] is threshing." It is not about oxen God is concerned, is it?

To those outside the law [I became] as outside the law ([although I] am not outside the law of God, but subject to the law of Christ) in order that I may gain those outside the law.

But God was not pleased with the majority of them, for they were struck down in the desert.

Temptation has not come upon you except [what is] common to humanity. But God [is] faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will also make a way out together with the temptation, [so that you] may be able to endure [it].

[No], but that [the things] which they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become sharers with demons.

Therefore, whether you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all [things] for the glory of God.

{Give no offense} both to Jews and to Greeks and to the church of God,

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man [is the] head of the woman, and [the] head of Christ [is] God.

For indeed a man ought not to cover his head, [because he] is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

For just as the woman [is] from the man, thus also the man [is] through the woman. But all [things] [are] from God.

You judge {for yourselves}: is it fitting for a woman to pray to God [with her head] uncovered?

But if anyone is disposed to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

For do you not have houses for eating and drinking? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who do not have [anything]? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise [you]!

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus [is] accursed," and no one is able to say "Jesus [is] Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.

and there are varieties of activities, but the same God, who works all [things] in all [people].

But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body just as he wanted.

but our presentable [parts] do not have need [of this]. Yet God composed the body by giving more abundant honor to the part which lacked [it],

and whom God has appointed in the church: first, apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.

For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, because no one understands, but by the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

I give thanks to God [that] I speak with tongues more than all of you,

the secret things of his heart become evident, and so, falling on [his] face, he will worship God, proclaiming, "God is truly among you!"

But if there is no interpreter, he must be silent in the church, but let him speak to himself and to God.

For God is not [a God of] disorder but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

Or has the word of God gone out from you, or has it come to you only?

For I am the least of the apostles, not worthy 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 to me has not been in vain, but I labored even more than all of them, and not I, but the grace of God with me.

And also we are found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if after all, then, the dead are not raised.

then the end, when he hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when he has abolished all rule and all authority and power.

But whenever all [things] are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected all [things] to him, in order that God may be all in all.

Sober up correctly and {stop sinning}, for some have no knowledge of God--I say [this] to your shame.

But God gives to it a body just as he wishes, and to each one of the seeds its own body.

But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruptibility.

But thanks [be] to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
