50 First Corinthians

Divorce

13 Isaiah 50:1
¹Yahvah says, Where is the bill of divorce of your mother, whom I have put away? Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Look, for your iniquities you were sold, and for your transgressions your mother is put away.

50 First Corinthians 5:1-2
¹It is reported that immorality is common among you, and such immorality as is not known among pagans, that even a son should take his father's wife.
²But instead of boasting as you have done, rather, had you sat down mourning that he who has done this deed, might have been removed from among you.

?

13 Isaiah 50:2-3
²Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot save? Or have I no power to deliver? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink because there is no water, and they die of thirst.
³I clothe the skies with darkness and make sackcloth their covering.

13 Isaiah 50:4
⁴Master Yahvah has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak and declare a word to the weary; he wakens me in the morning; in the morning he causes my ears to hear the teaching.

13 Isaiah 50:5-9
⁵Master Yahvah has opened my ears, and I have not turned back to the evil way, nor have I been rebellious.
⁶I gave my back to the strikers and my cheeks to those who slap on the face; I did not turn my face from shame and spitting.

⁷For Master Yahvah has helped me; therefore I am not confounded; therefore I have hardened my face like a flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed.
⁸For he who justifies me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand together. Who is lord of accusation? Let him come near to me.
⁹Look, Master Yahvah will help me; who is he that will condemn me? Look, they will all wear out as a garment; the moth will eat them up.

50 First Corinthians 9:1-20
¹Am I not a free man? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus, anointed master? Are you not my work in master?
²If I am not an apostle to others, yet, to you, I am; for you are the seal of my apostleship.

³So my answer to those who criticize me is this:
⁴Do we not have the right to eat and to drink?
⁵And do we not have the right to travel with a believing wife, just as the rest of the apostles do, and as the brothers of master, and as Peter?
⁶I and Barnabas, do we not have the right to live without working?
⁷What officer commands an army at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruits? Who feeds sheep, and does not eat of the produce of his flock?

⁸I say these things as a man. Look, the law also says them.
⁹For it is written in the law of Moses, You will not muzzle the ox that treads out the wheat. Why? Is god concerned only for the ox?
¹⁰No. It is known that he said it for our sakes, and it was written for our sakes, because the plowman must plow in hope, and he who threshes, threshes in hope of the crop.
¹¹Now if we have sown spiritual things among you is it too much that we should reap material things from you?
¹²If others have this authority over you, do we not have the greater right?

Nevertheless, we have not used this authority; but we have endured all things, so that we would not hinder the thinking of anointing.
¹³Do you not know that those who work in the holy place are maintained out of the temple? And those who minister at the altar, share the offerings with the altar?
¹⁴Even so, master has commanded that those who preach his thinking, should live by his thinking.

¹⁵But I have used none of these privileges; nor have I written these things that it should be done to me; for it were better for me to die, than that any man should declare my empty pride.
¹⁶For though I preach the thinking, I have nothing to glory of; for I am under obligation; yes, woe to me if I do not preach the thinking.
¹⁷For if I do this thing willingly, I have my reward; but if against my will, it is like a stewardship entrusted to me.
¹⁸What, then, is my wage? That when I preach the thinking without repayment I may make it the thinking of anointing, and I have not used the power given to me in the gospel.

¹⁹Because I am free from all these things, I have served all men that I may gain many.
²⁰So, with the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win the Jews; and with those who are under the law, I became as one who is under the law, that I might win those who are under the law.

13 Isaiah 50:10-51:0
¹⁰Who is among you who reveres Yahvah? Let him listen to the voice of his servant. He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in the name of Yahvah and be saved by his god.
¹¹Look, all of you are like kindling wood and the sparks of the kindling. Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks that you have kindled. This you will have of my hands: you will lie down in sorrow.
