G3361–μή–mē

For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

μὴ mē “not”

What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.

μὴ mē “not”

And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law.

μὴ mē “not”

To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law.

μὴ mē “not”

But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.

μή mē “lest”

Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.

μὴ mē “not”

So let him who seems to himself to be safe go in fear of a fall.

μὴ mē “lest”

You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

μὴ mē “except”

Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?

μὴ mē “Surely not”

But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

μὴ mē “not”

Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.

μὴ mē “not”

What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.

μὴ mē “Surely not”μὴ mē “nothing”

For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

μὴ mē “not”

But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

μὴ mē “not”

If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

μὴ mē “not”

So it is my desire for you to be clear about this; that no one is able to say by the Spirit of God that Jesus is cursed; and no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

μὴ mē “except”

So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another.

μὴ mē “not”

Are all Apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? have all the power of working wonders?

μὴ mē “Surely not”μὴ mē “Surely not”μὴ mē “Surely not”μὴ mē “Surely not”

Are all able to take away disease? have all the power of tongues? are all able to give their sense?

μὴ mē “Surely not”μὴ mē “Surely not”μὴ mē “Surely not”

If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

μὴ mē “not”

And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing.

μὴ mē “not”

And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me.

μὴ mē “not”

Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the

μὴ mē “unless”

But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

μὴ mē “unless”

Even things without life, having a voice, such as a music-pipe or other instrument, if they do not give out different sounds, who may be certain what is being played?

μὴ mē “not”
