Biblical Verses Omitted From Roman Catholic
Mass Readings
Chapter
1 verses 14-16 have been omitted from the Mass
readings.
[14] I give
God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;
[15] Lest
any should say that you were baptized in my name.
[16] And I
baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I
baptized any other.
Chapter
2 is
covered in full in the Mass
Readings at some time during the three year cycle of readings.
Chapter
3 verses 14-15 have been omitted from the Mass
readings.
[14] If any
man's work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a
reward.
[15]
If any man's work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be
saved, yet so as by fire.
Chapter
4 verses 16-21 have been omitted from the Mass
readings.
[16]
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
[17] For
this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my dearest son and
faithful in the Lord; who will put you in mind of my ways, which are in
Christ Jesus; as I teach everywhere in every church.
[18] As if
I would not come to you, so some are puffed up.
[19] But I
will come to you shortly, if the Lord will: and will know, not the
speech of them that are puffed up, but the power.
[20] For
the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.
[21] What
will you? shall I come to you with a rod; or in charity, and in the
spirit of meekness?
Chapter
5 verses 9-13 have been omitted from the Mass
readings.
[9] I wrote
to you in an epistle, not to keep company with fornicators.
[10] I mean
not with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or the
extortioners, or the servers of idols; otherwise you must needs go out
of this world.
[11] But
now I have written to you, not to keep company, if any man that is
named a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or a server of idols, or
a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one, not so
much as to eat.
[12] For
what have I to do to judge them that are without? Do not you judge them
that are within?
[13] For
them that are without, God will judge. Put away the evil one from among
yourselves.
Chapter
6 verses 12-13b, 15b-16 have been omitted from
the
Mass readings.
[12] All
things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient. All
things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of
any.
[13]
Meat for the belly, and the belly for the meats; but God shall destroy
both it and them:
[15]...Shall
I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an
harlot? God forbid.
[16] Or
know you not, that he who is joined to a harlot, is made one body? For
they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.
Chapter
7 verses 1-24, 36-40 have been omitted from
the Mass
readings.
[1] Now
concerning the thing whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not
to touch a woman.
[2] But for
fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let
every woman have her own husband.
[3] Let the
husband render the debt to his wife, and the wife also in like manner
to the husband.
[4] The wife
hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the
husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
[5] Defraud
not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may
give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt
you for your incontinency.
[6] But I
speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.
[7] For I
would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper
gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.
[8] But I
say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so
continue, even as I.
[9] But if
they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to
marry than to be burnt.
[10] But to
them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife
depart not from her husband.
[11] And
if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her
husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.
[12] For
to
the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that
believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her
away.
[13]
And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not, and he consent to
dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.
[14] For
the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife;
and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband:
otherwise your children should be unclean; but now they are holy.
[15] But if
the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not
under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.
[16] For
how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how
knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
[17] But
as
the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one,
so let him walk: and so in all churches I teach.
[18] Is any
man called, being circumcised? let him not procure uncircumcision. Is
any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
[19]
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: but the
observance of the commandments of God.
[20] Let
every man abide in the same calling in which he was called.
[21] Wast
thou called, being a bondman? care not for it; but if thou mayest be
made free, use it rather.
[22] For he
that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the
Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.
[23] You
are bought with a price; be not made the bondslaves of men.
[24] Brethren,
let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
[36] But if
any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin,
for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what
he will; he sinneth not, if she marry. [37] For he
that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity,
but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to
keep his virgin, doth well. [38]
Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and
he that giveth her not, doth better.
[39] A
woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her
husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in
the Lord. [40]
But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my
counsel; and I think that I also have the spirit of God.
Chapter
8 verses 1a, 8-10 have been omitted from the
Mass
readings.
[1] Now
concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols, we know that we
all have knowledge. ...
[8] But meat
doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the
more; nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less.
[9] But take
heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a stumblingblock to the
weak.
[10]
For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol's
temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat
those things which are sacrificed to idols?
Chapter
9 verses 1-15, 20-21 have been omitted from
the Mass
readings.
[1] Am not I
free? Am not I an apostle? Have not I seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are
not you my work in the Lord?
[2] And if
unto others I be not an apostle, but yet to you I am. For you are the
seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
[3] My
defence with them that do examine me is this.
[4] Have not
we power to eat and to drink?
[5] Have we
not power to carry about
a woman, a sister, as well as the rest
of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
[6] Or I
only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this?
[7] Who
serveth as a soldier at any time, at his own charges? Who planteth a
vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? Who feedeth the flock,
and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
[8] Speak I
these things according to man? Or doth not the law also say these
things?
[9]
For it is written in the law of Moses: Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth
of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
[10] Or
doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for
our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope; and he that
thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit.
[11] If we
have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap
your carnal things?
[12] If
others be partakers of this power over you, why not we rather?
Nevertheless, we have not used this power: but we bear all things, lest
we should give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
[13] Know
you not, that they who work in the holy place, eat the things that are
of the holy place; and they that serve the altar, partake with the
altar?
[14]
So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel, should live
by the gospel.
[15] But I
have used none of these things. Neither have I written these things,
that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to die,
rather than that any man should make my glory void.
[20] And I
became to the Jews, a Jew, that I might gain the Jews:
[21] To
them that are under the law, as if I were under the law, (whereas
myself was not under the law,) that I might gain them that were under
the law. To them that were without the law, as if I were without the
law, (whereas I was not without the law of God, but was in the law of
Christ,) that I might gain them that were without the law.
Chapter
10 verses 7-9, 13, 22b-30 have been omitted
from the
Mass readings.
[7] Neither
become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat
down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
[8] Neither
let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and
there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
[9] Neither
let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the
serpents.
[13] Let
no temptation
take hold on you, but such as is human. And God
is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you
are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be
able to bear it.
[22]...Are
we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me, but all things are
not expedient.
[23] All
things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.
[24] Let
no man seek his own, but that which is another's.
[25]
Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for
conscience' sake.
[26] The
earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
[27] If
any of them that believe not, invite you, and you will be willing to
go; eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for
conscience' sake.
[28] But
if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols, do not eat of it for
his sake that told it, and for conscience' sake.
[29]
Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other's. For why is my liberty
judged by another man's conscience?
[30] If I
partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which
I give thanks?
Chapter
11 verses 2-16, 27-34 have been omitted from the
Mass
readings.
[2] Now I
praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and
keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.
[3] But I
would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head
of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
[4] Every
man praying or prophesying with his head covered, disgraceth his head.
[5] But
every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered,
disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.
[6] For if
a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a
woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.
[7] The
man
indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory
of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
[8] For the
man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.
[9] For the
man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
[10]
Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head,
because of the angels.
[11] But
yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the
man, in the Lord.
[12] For
as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all
things of God.
[13] You
yourselves judge: doth it become a woman, to pray unto God uncovered?
[14] Doth
not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his
hair, it is a shame unto him?
[15] But
if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is
given to her for a covering.
[16] But
if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the
church of God.
[27]
Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice
of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the
blood of the Lord.
[28] But
let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink
of the chalice.
[29] For
he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to
himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
[30]
Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep.
[31] But
if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
[32] But
whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not
condemned with this world.
[33]
Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one
another.
[34]
If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together
unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.
Chapter
12 verses 1-3a have been omitted from the Mass
readings.
[1] Now
concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you
ignorant.
[2]
You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according
as you were led.
[3]
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit
of God, saith Anathema to Jesus...
Chapter
13 is
covered in full in the Mass
Readings at some time during the three year cycle of readings.
Chapter
14 verses 1-40 have been omitted from the Mass
readings.
[1] Follow
after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may
prophesy.
[2] For
he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh
not unto men, but unto
God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.
[3] But he
that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation,
and comfort.
[4]
He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that
prophesieth, edifieth the church.
[5] And I
would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For
greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues:
unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification.
[6] But
now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I
profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in
knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?
[7] Even
things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they
give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or
harped?
[8]
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself
to the battle?
[9] So
likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it
be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.
[10] There
are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is
without voice.
[11] If
then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I
speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me.
[12] So
you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to
abound unto the edifying of the church.
[13]
And
therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may
interpret.
[14]
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is
without fruit.
[15] What
is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the
understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the
understanding.
[16] Else
if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the
place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? because he
knoweth not what thou sayest.
[17] For
thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
[18] I
thank my God I speak with all your tongues.
[19] But
in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that
I may instruct others also; than ten thousand words in a tongue.
[20]
Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children,
and in sense be perfect.
[21] In
the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to
this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.
[22]
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers;
but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.
[23]
If
therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak
with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will
they not say that you are mad?
[24] But
if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or an
unlearned person, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all.
[25] The
secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his
face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed.
[26]
How
is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a
psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an
interpretation: let all things be done to edification.
[27] If
any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and
in course, and let one interpret.
[28] But
if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and
speak to himself and to God.
[29]
And
let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.
[30] But
if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his
peace.
[31]
For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be
exhorted:
[32]
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
[33] For
God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all
the churches of the saints.
[34]
Let
women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to
speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.
[35] But
if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For
it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.
[36] Or
did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
[37]
If
any seem to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know the things that I
write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord.
[38] But
if any man know not, he shall not be known.
[39]
Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak
with tongues.
[40] But
let all things be done decently, and according to order.
Chapter
15 verses 29-34, 38-41, 50 have been omitted from
the Mass
readings.
[29]
Otherwise what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if
the dead rise not again at all? why are they then baptized for them?
[30] Why
also are we in danger every hour?
[31] I
die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
[32] If
(according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit
me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for
tomorrow we shall die.
[33] Be
not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
[34]
Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God, I
speak it to your shame.
[38] But
God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body.
[39] All
flesh is not the same flesh: but one is the flesh of men, another of
beasts, another of birds, another of fishes.
[40] And
there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but, one is the
glory of the celestial, and another of the terrestrial.
[41]
One is the glory of the sun, another
the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For
star differeth from star in glory.
[50] Now
this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom
of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.
