(1co 1:1) Paul called {to be} an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes {our} brother,
(1co 1:2) Unto 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:
(1co 1:3) Grace {be} unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and {from} the Lord Jesus Christ.
(1co 1:4) I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
(1co 1:5) That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and {in} all knowledge;
(1co 1:6) Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
(1co 1:7) So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
(1co 1:8) Who shall also confirm you unto the end, {that ye may be} blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1co 1:9) God {is} faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
(1co 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.
(1co 1:11) For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them {which are of the house} of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
(1co 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.
(1co 1:13) Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
(1co 1:14) I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
(1co 1:15) Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
(1co 1:16) And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
(1co 1:17) For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
(1co 1:18) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
(1co 1:19) For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
(1co 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?
(1co 1:21) For after that 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.
(1co 1:22) For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
(1co 1:23) But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
(1co 1:24) But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
(1co 1:25) Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
(1co 1:26) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, {are called}:
(1co 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;
(1co 1:28) And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, {yea, } and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
(1co 1:29) That no flesh should glory in his presence.
(1co 1:30) But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
(1co 1:31) That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
