Biblical Concordance
| 1 Corinthians 1:11 | For it has been reported to me (moi | μοι | dat sg 1st) by members of Chloe’s household that there are quarrels among you, my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) brothers. |
| 1 Corinthians 1:12 | What I mean is this: each of you is saying, “I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) am with Paul,” or, “I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) am with Apollos,” or, “I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) am with Cephas,” or, “I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) am with Christ.” |
| 1 Corinthians 1:17 | For Christ did not send me (me | με | acc sg 1st) to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be rendered ineffective. |
| 1 Corinthians 2:4 | My (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) word and my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) message were not delivered with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, |
| 1 Corinthians 3:4 | For when one says, “I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) follow Paul,” and another, “I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) follow Apollos,” are you not like everyone else? |
| 1 Corinthians 3:6 | I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) planted, Apollos watered, but God has been causing the growth. |
| 1 Corinthians 3:10 | According to the grace of God given to me (moi | μοι | dat sg 1st), like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, but someone else is building on it. Let each one take care how he builds on it. |
| 1 Corinthians 4:3 | But for me (emoi | ἐμοί | dat sg 1st) it is a matter of the least consequence that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. |
| 1 Corinthians 4:4 | For I am not aware of anything against myself, yet not because of this am I acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me (me | με | acc sg 1st). |
| 1 Corinthians 4:14 | I am not writing these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) dear children. |
| 1 Corinthians 4:15 | For though you have innumerable guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, because I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. |
| 1 Corinthians 4:16 | I urge you, therefore, be imitators of me (mou | μου | gen sg 1st). |
| 1 Corinthians 4:17 | That is why I sent to you Timothy, who is my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) ways in Christ Jesus, as I teach them everywhere in every church. |
| 1 Corinthians 4:18 | Some have become arrogant, as though I (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) were not coming to you. |
| 1 Corinthians 5:3 | For though I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) am absent in body, I am present in spirit; and I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as though I were present. |
| 1 Corinthians 5:12 | For what business is it of mine (moi | μοι | dat sg 1st) to judge outsiders? Is it not those inside the church that you are to judge? |
| 1 Corinthians 6:12 | “All things are lawful for me,” (moi | μοι | dat sg 1st) — but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me” (moi | μοι | dat sg 1st) — but I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) will not be overpowered by anything. |
| 1 Corinthians 7:10 | To the married I give this command (not I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st), but the Lord): a wife should not separate from her husband |
| 1 Corinthians 7:12 | To the rest I say (I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st), not the Lord): If some brother has a wife who is not a believer, and she is willing to live with him, he should not divorce her. |
| 1 Corinthians 7:28 | But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. However those who do marry will have worldly trouble, and I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) am trying to spare you. |
| 1 Corinthians 8:13 | Therefore, if food causes my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) brother to stumble, again I will never eat meat, lest I cause one of them (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) to stumble. |
| 1 Corinthians 9:1 | Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) labor in the Lord? |
| 1 Corinthians 9:2 | If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the proof of my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) apostleship in the Lord. |
| 1 Corinthians 9:3 | This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me (eme | ἐμέ | acc sg 1st). |
| 1 Corinthians 9:6 | Or is it only I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) and Barnabas who have no right to refrain from working? |
| 1 Corinthians 9:15 | But I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this so that something will be done for me (emoi | ἐμοί | dat sg 1st); for it would be better for me (moi | μοι | dat sg 1st) rather to die — no one shall take away my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) ground for boasting! |
| 1 Corinthians 9:16 | If I preach the gospel, I (moi | μοι | dat sg 1st) do not have a ground for boasting, for I (moi | μοι | dat sg 1st) am compelled to do so. Woe is me (moi | μοί | dat sg 1st) if I do not preach the gospel! |
| 1 Corinthians 9:18 | What then is my (mou | μού | gen sg 1st) reward? That when I preach I may present the gospel free of charge, and so not make full use of my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) right in the gospel. |
| 1 Corinthians 9:26 | So I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) do not run aimlessly; I do not box like one flailing the air. |
| 1 Corinthians 9:27 | But I discipline my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) body and bring it into subjection, so that having preached to others I myself should not be disqualified. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:14 | Therefore, my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) dear friends, flee from the worship of idols. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:29 | I mean the conscience of the other person, not your own. Why then should my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) liberty be determined by the conscience of another? |
| 1 Corinthians 10:30 | If I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed because of that for which I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) give thanks? |
| 1 Corinthians 11:1 | Be imitators of me (mou | μου | gen sg 1st), as I also am of Christ. |
| 1 Corinthians 11:2 | I commend you because you remember me (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) in everything and hold firmly to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. |
| 1 Corinthians 11:23 | For I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) received from the Lord that which I also passed on to you: that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, |
| 1 Corinthians 11:24 | and after giving thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my (mou | μού | gen sg 1st) body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” |
| 1 Corinthians 11:33 | So then, my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. |
| 1 Corinthians 13:3 | If I give away everything I (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) own, and if I surrender my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) body to be burned, but do not have love, it benefits me nothing. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:11 | But if I do not grasp the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me (emoi | ἐμοί | dat sg 1st). |
| 1 Corinthians 14:14 | For if I pray in a tongue, my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) spirit prays but my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) mind is unproductive. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:19 | however, in church I would rather speak five words with my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) understanding, so as to instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:21 | In the Law it is written, “By people with strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me (mou | μου | gen sg 1st), says the Lord.” |
| 1 Corinthians 14:39 | So, my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:9 | For I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:10 | But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me (eme | ἐμέ | acc sg 1st) was not in vain. No, I worked harder than any of them — yet not I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st), but the grace of God that is with me (emoi | ἐμοί | dat sg 1st). |
| 1 Corinthians 15:11 | Whether then it was I (egō | ἐγώ | nom sg 1st) or they, so we preach and so you came to believe. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:32 | If as a mere man I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what have I (moi | μοι | dat sg 1st) gained? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:58 | So then, my (mou | μου | gen sg 1st) dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. |
| 1 Corinthians 16:4 | And if it seems advisable that I should go also, they will go with me (emoi | ἐμοί | dat sg 1st). |
