| 1:1 |
Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,
|
| 1:2 |
to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:
|
| 1:3 |
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
|
| 1:4 |
I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;
|
| 1:5 |
that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,
|
| 1:6 |
(according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you,)
|
| 1:7 |
so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
|
| 1:8 |
who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
| 1:9 |
God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
|
| 1:10 |
Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion.
|
| 1:11 |
For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you.
|
| 1:12 |
But I speak of this, that each of you says, *I* am of Paul, and *I* of Apollos, and *I* of Cephas, and *I* of Christ.
|
| 1:13 |
Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?
|
| 1:14 |
I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,
|
| 1:15 |
that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.
|
| 1:16 |
Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.
|
| 1:17 |
For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.
|
| 1:18 |
For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.
|
| 1:19 |
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.
|
| 1:20 |
Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
|
| 1:21 |
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.
|
| 1:22 |
Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;
|
| 1:23 |
but *we* preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;
|
| 1:24 |
but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.
|
| 1:25 |
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
|
| 1:26 |
For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
|
| 1:27 |
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;
|
| 1:28 |
and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;
|
| 1:29 |
so that no flesh should boast before God.
|
| 1:30 |
But of him are *ye* in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;
|
| 1:31 |
that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.
