| To: God's church in Corinth and to all | 1Co 1:2 |
| On whom the name of Jesus call. | 1Co 1:2 |
| From: Sosthenes, and in his scrawl, | 1Co 1:1 |
| with grace and truth, Apostle Paul. | 1Co 1:1,3 |
| You're rich in gifts, filled to the brim. | 1Co 1:5-7 |
| Your strength from fellowship with Him. | 1Co 1:8-9 |
| But are you fighting with your brother? | 1Co 1:11 |
| Have no division with each other. | 1Co 1:10 |
| It doesn't matter who's your preacher. | 1Co 1:12-17 |
| We all are following one Teacher. | 1Co 1:12-17 |
| Our message, foolish to the lost, | 1Co 1:18 |
| To praise a man killed on a cross. | 1Co 1:18 |
| But man's intelligence turns sour. | 1Co 1:19 |
| We know the cross show's God's true power. | 1Co 1:18 |
| It pleases God for recompense | 1Co 1:21 |
| A way the world thinks don't make sense. | 1Co 1:21 |
| The world's made knowledge deified. | 1Co 1:22 |
| But God's wisdom was crucified. | 1Co 1:24 |
| Did God choose you cause you were great? | 1Co 1:26 |
| More likely so there's no debate. | 1Co 1:27-29 |
| When you succeed, don't be adored. | 1Co 1:29 |
| Let glory belong to the Lord. | 1Co 1:31 |
| I came in weakness, not with brains. | 1Co 2:1-3 |
| So all your faith in God remains. | 1Co 2:4-5 |
| We value wisdom, just not man's. | 1Co 2:6 |
| The secret wisdom of God's plans. | 1Co 2:7 |
| No eye has seen, no ear has heard | 1Co 2:9 |
| God's plans for those who love his Word. | 1Co 2:9 |
| Revealed by God, we know because | 1Co 2:10 |
| We know because the Spirit does. | 1Co 2:11 |
| It's not by senses we have learned. | 1Co 2:13 |
| These things are spiritually discerned. | 1Co 2:14 |
| But since there's jealousy and strife, | 1Co 3:3 |
| It's clear the flesh still rules your life. | 1Co 3:3 |
| God gave me seeds, told me to sow. | 1Co 3:5-6 |
| But only God can make them grow. | 1Co 3:6-7 |
| Once true foundation has been laid, | 1Co 3:11 |
| Accepting Christ, your debts are paid. | 1Co 3:12 |
| Then what you build, create, or birth - | 1Co 3:12-13 |
| The meaning of your life on earth. | 1Co 3:12-15 |
| Your work pours from your heart's desire, | 1Co 3:13 |
| And Judgment Day's refining fire | 1Co 3:13 |
| Reveals eternal quality, | 1Co 3:13 |
| Or worldly, base frivolity. | 1Co 3:13 |
| So if your work is for the Lord | 1Co 3:14 |
| You will receive a big reward. | 1Co 3:14 |
| But if, when judged, your works combust, | 1Co 3:15 |
| You will be saved, but only just. | 1Co 3:15 |
| A servant, then, is duty-bound, | 1Co 4:1-2 |
| And always must be faithful found. | 1Co 4:1-2 |
| Our mission is not to indict. | 1Co 4:5 |
| The Lord will bring the truth to light. | 1Co 4:5 |
| As motive of each heart surveys, | 1Co 4:5 |
| He'll give, as due, each soul his praise. | 1Co 4:5 |
| What's pride but misattribution? | 1Co 4:6-7 |
| Praising man for God's contribution. | 1Co 4:6-7 |
| You think that you know everything. | 1Co 4:10 |
| Who went and died and made you king? | 1Co 4:8 |
| The world gives Christians no regard. | 1Co 4:11-13 |
| God values what the world discards. | 1Co 4:11-13 |
| You're proud? There's sin. Do you not know? | 1Co 5:1-6 |
| A little yeast works through the dough. | 1Co 5:6 |
| Cast out immoral men and grieve. | 1Co 5:1-2 |
| - I don't mean those who don't believe. | 1Co 5:10 |
| But those inside the brotherhood. | 1Co 5:11 |
| If they love sin, throw out for good. | 1Co 5:11 |
| If Christian One takes Two to court, | 1Co 6:1-6 |
| Does that our claim of peace support? | 1Co 6:1-6 |
| Don't let disputes become prolonged. | 1Co 6:7 |
| Just do the right thing and be wronged. | 1Co 6:7 |
| You once were wicked, but were washed. | 1Co 6:9-11 |
| Make sure all sin in you is squashed. | 1Co 6:12 |
| You're one with Jesus, therefore flee | 1Co 6:17-18 |
| All sexual immorality. | 1Co 6:18 |
| God bought you, and at quite a price | 1Co 6:19-20 |
| Your body isn't meant for vice. | 1Co 6:13,18-20 |
| It's good if you abstain from sex, | 1Co 7:1 |
| And live for God in all respects. | 1Co 7:32-35 |
| But if temptation seems to great, | 1Co 7:5 |
| Let every person find their mate. | 1Co 7:2 |
| So wife to husband, husband-wife, | 1Co 7:3-5 |
| Share bodies like you share your life. | 1Co 7:3-5 |
| No matter what your status is. | 1Co 7:8-40 |
| God called you, now your life is his. | 1Co 7:22-23 |
| The cares of life of most import: | 1Co 7:32,34-35 |
| Keep God's commands - for life is short. | 1Co 7:19,29 |
| Let's take a moment to speak of | 1Co 8:1 |
| What knowledge is compared to love. | 1Co 8:1 |
| While knowledge puffs your chest way out, | 1Co 8:1 |
| Love builds up someone filled with doubt. | 1Co 8:1 |
| Example on which can be chewed | 1Co 8:4 |
| Is idol-designated food. | 1Co 8:4 |
| You know that idols are not real. | 1Co 8:4 |
| But what's a weaker person feel? | 1Co 8:7 |
| They may see you and think it odd. | 1Co 8:10 |
| Unsure if you serve only God. | 1Co 8:10 |
| Your knowledge knows that food is fine. | 1Co 8:8 |
| But Love puts others first in line. | 1Co 8:1 |
| Be careful exercising rights | 1Co 8:9 |
| Does not for others cause more plights. | 1Co 8:9 |
| Now preachers have a right to pay. | 1Co 9:1-14 |
| But blessed if they preach anyway. | 1Co 9:15-23 |
| While athletes win a prize that rots, | 1Co 9:24-25 |
| Eternal life with God does not. | 1Co 9:25 |
| Know there are people God has saved, | 1Co 10:1-4 |
| But does not like how they behaved. | 1Co 10:5 |
| 'Cause they love idols, booze, and sex, | 1Co 10:7-8 |
| Complains 'bout how God directs. | 1Co 10:10 |
| From them you see what not to do. | 1Co 10:11 |
| Look out for traps to fall into. | 1Co 10:12 |
| Though tempted by the flesh's sway, | 1Co 10:13 |
| Seek God and you can get away. | 1Co 10:13 |
| Flee idols and avoid their feasts. | 1Co 10:14,18 |
| Do not join demons with God's priests. | 1Co 10:20 |
| We have such freedom, all is God's. | 1Co 10:23-26 |
| All is permitted that him lauds. | 1Co 10:23,30 |
| The question ain't "Is this allowed" | 1Co 10:23 |
| But "Is it loving?", as you've vowed. | 1Co 10:24,32 |
| Keep customs of propriety. | 1Co 11:2-16 |
| Keep union and sobriety. | 1Co 11:17-22 |
| When you commune as one big church, | 1Co 11:17-34 |
| Be earnest as your heart you search. | 1Co 11:27-28 |
| The Spirit has not any rifts. | 1Co 12:3 |
| There is one God, but many gifts. | 1Co 12:4-6 |
| Like wisdom, knowledge, mighty deeds. | 1Co 12:8,10 |
| Like prophesy, the faith one needs, | 1Co 12:9-10 |
| Discerning spirits, healing pain, | 1Co 12:9-10 |
| To speak in tongues, or to explain. | 1Co 12:10 |
| The Spirit works as he decides, | 1Co 12:11 |
| Through Christians in whom he abides. | 1Co 12:11 |
| You're in the body, not in charge. | 1Co 12:13 |
| Don't worry if your part is large. | 1Co 12:15-17 |
| Each part has its own part to play | 1Co 12:21-22,27 |
| 'Cause God arranged it that-a-way. | 1Co 12:18 |
| What God has joined let no one split. | 1Co 12:25 |
| Share pain and joy when you're close knit. | 1Co 12:25-26 |
| Yet with all gifts from up above, | 1Co 13:1-3 |
| You still gain nothing without love. | 1Co 13:1-3 |
| Love is patient, love is kind. | 1Co 13:4 |
| Your past mistakes it does not find. | 1Co 13:5 |
| Love protects and perseveres. | 1Co 13:7 |
| It trusts and hopes, with truth it cheers. | 1Co 13:6-7 |
| Love does not seek itself the most. | 1Co 13:5 |
| It does not envy, does not boast. | 1Co 13:4 |
| Love never fails, is not provoked. | 1Co 13:5,8 |
| It does not need its ego stroked. | 1Co 13:4 |
| When all is known, we see the scope. | 1Co 13:8-12 |
| These three remain: faith, love, and hope. | 1Co 13:13 |
| To speak in tongues, to God you cry, | 1Co 14:2 |
| But prophesy will edify. | 1Co 14:3 |
| All sorts of tumult you must cease. | 1Co 14:6-40 |
| For God brings order, God brings peace. | 1Co 14:33 |
| Now don't lose sight of the main point. | 1Co 15:1-2 |
| Just as foretold, God did anoint | 1Co 15:3 |
| The Christ to die and be revived. | 1Co 15:4 |
| Appeared to hundreds now alive. | 1Co 15:5-7 |
| If this were not true, we'd be toast, | 1Co 15:4 |
| And Christians would be pitied most. | 1Co 15:5-7 |
| This life, if that's it, one might think | 1Co 15:32 |
| Let's party now, just eat and drink. | 1Co 15:32 |
| Don't be misled, bad company | 1Co 15:33 |
| Corrupts good character in thee. | 1Co 15:33 |
| For as in Adam none survive, | 1Co 15:22 |
| The risen Christ makes all alive. | 1Co 15:22 |
| The physical is made from earth, | 1Co 15:45-47 |
| And it has no immortal worth. | 1Co 15:50 |
| To live forever we must wear | 1Co 15:45-55 |
| The clothes of heaven Christ prepared. | 1Co 15:45-55 |
| Stand firm and never go astray. | 1Co 15:58 |
| Work for the Lord will always pay. | 1Co 15:58 |
| Collection for the saints who lead. | 1Co 16:1-3 |
| Protection for the servant, heed. | 1Co 16:10-11 |
| Stay strong, stand firm, and be on guard. | 1Co 16:13 |
| Have courage, and love when it's hard. | 1Co 16:13-14 |
| Devoted ministers are prized. | 1Co 16:15-16 |
| Such servants should be recognized. | 1Co 16:17-18 |
| All those who hate the Lord, dismiss. | 1Co 16:22 |
| Believers greet with sacred kiss. | 1Co 16:20 |
