1:1 |
Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,
|
1:2 |
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.
|
1:3 |
Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
|
1:4 |
I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
|
1:5 |
That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;
|
1:6 |
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
|
1:7 |
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
|
1:8 |
Who will also confirm you to the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
1:9 |
God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
|
1:10 |
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
|
1:11 |
For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them [who are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
|
1:12 |
Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
|
1:13 |
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
|
1:14 |
I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
|
1:15 |
Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.
|
1:16 |
And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
|
1:17 |
For Christ hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
|
1:18 |
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.
|
1:19 |
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
|
1:20 |
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?
|
1:21 |
For when in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
|
1:22 |
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom:
|
1:23 |
But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
|
1:24 |
But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
|
1:25 |
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
|
1:26 |
For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are called]:
|
1:27 |
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
|
1:28 |
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
|
1:29 |
That no flesh should glory in his presence.
|
1:30 |
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
|
1:31 |
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
