1:PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,
2:To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place of theirs and ours.
3:Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4:I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,
5:That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
6:As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
7:So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8:Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9:God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10:Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
11:For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12:Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13:Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
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.
17:For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
18:For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.
19:For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.
20:Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21:For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe.
22:For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23:But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:
24:But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25:For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26:For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:
27:But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.
28:And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:
29:That no flesh should glory in his sight.
30:But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:
31:That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.
1:FOR I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.
2:And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:
3:And did all eat the same spiritual food,
4:And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)
5:But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
6:Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.
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.
10:Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11:Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12:Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.
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.
14:Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.
15:I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
16:The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?
17:For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
18:Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?
19:What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?
20:But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.
21:You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord, and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils.
22:Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? 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?
31:Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.
32:Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:
33:As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved.
1:BE ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
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.
17:Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.
18:For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it.
19:For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you.
20:When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper.
21:For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.
22:What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God; and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.
23:For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread.
24:And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.
25:In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.
26:For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.
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 inform 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.
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.

Total duration	~19h 49m
Books	27 New Testament books (Gospels, Acts, Epistles, Revelation)
Parallel text	`text/ghomala/`, `text/french/`, `text/english/` — 260 chapters each, verse-numbered
Manifest	`manifest.csv` — audio ↔ book ↔ chapter ↔ duration ↔ text paths

Audio and text align by BOOK.chapter (e.g. audio/1CO.13.mp3 ↔ text/ghomala/1CO.13.txt).

Usage

import csv
rows = list(csv.DictReader(open("manifest.csv")))
print(rows[0])  # {'audio': '1CO.1.mp3', 'book': '1CO', 'chapter': '1', 'duration_sec': '...', ...}
