 1:1  Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through
the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,
 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:
 1:3  Grace [be] unto 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 shall also confirm you unto 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 unto 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 unto me of you, my brethren,
by them [which 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 mine 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 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.
 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.
 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 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.
 1:22  For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after
wisdom:
 1:23  But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a
stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
 1:24  But unto them which 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, how 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, [yea], and things which are not, to
bring to nought things that are:
 1:29  That no flesh should glory in his presence.
 1:30  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made
unto 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.
