Paul, called
to be an apostle
of Jesus
Christ
through
the will
of God
, and
Sosthenes
our brother
,
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
:
Grace be unto you
, and
peace
, from
God
our
Father
, and
from the Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
I thank my
God
always
on
your
behalf
, for
the grace
of God
which
is given
you
by
Jesus
Christ
;
That in
every thing
ye are enriched
by
him
, in
all
utterance
, and
in all
knowledge
;
Even as the testimony
of Christ
was confirmed
in
you
:
So that ye
come behind
in
no
gift
; waiting for
the coming
of our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
:
Who shall
also
confirm
you
unto
the end
, that ye may be blameless
in
the day
of our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
God is faithful
, by
whom
ye were called
unto
the fellowship
of his
Son
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
Is Christ
divided
?
was
Paul
crucified
for
you
? or
were ye baptized
in
the name
of Paul
?
I thank God
that
I baptized
none
of you
, but
Crispus
and
Gaius
;
Lest any
should say
that
I had baptized
in
mine own
name
.
And I baptized
also
the household
of Stephanas
: besides
, I know
not
whether I baptized
any
other
.
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
.
For the preaching
of the cross
is
to them
that perish
foolishness
; but
unto us
which are saved
it is
the power
of God
.
For it is written
, I will destroy
the wisdom
of the wise
, and
will bring to nothing
the understanding
of the prudent
.
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
?
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
.
For the Jews
require
a sign
, and
the Greeks
seek
after wisdom
:
But we
preach
Christ
crucified
, unto the Jews
a stumblingblock
, and
unto the Greeks
foolishness
;
But unto them
which
are called
, both
Jews
and
Greeks
, Christ
the power
of God
, and
the wisdom
of God
.
Because the foolishness
of God
is
wiser than
men
; and
the weakness
of God
is
stronger than
men
.
For ye see
your
calling
, brethren
, how that
not
many
wise men
after
the flesh
, not
many
mighty
, not
many
noble
, are called :
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
;
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
:
That no
flesh
should glory
in his presence
.
But of
him
are
ye
in
Christ
Jesus
, who
of
God
is made
unto us
wisdom
, and righteousness
, and
sanctification
, and
redemption
:
That, according as
it is written
, He that glorieth
, let him glory
in
the Lord
.
