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.
2:1 And *I*, when I came to you, brethren, came not in
 excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony
 of God.
2:2 For I did not judge [it well] to know anything among you
 save Jesus Christ, and *him* crucified.
2:3 And *I* was with you in weakness and in fear and in much
 trembling;
2:4 and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of
 wisdom, but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power;
2:5 that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in
 God's power.
2:6 But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of
 this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to
 nought.
2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden
 [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for our
 glory:
2:8 which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they
 known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;)
2:9 but according as it is written, Things which eye has not
 seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's
 heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,
2:10 but God has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit
 searches all things, even the depths of God.
2:11 For who of men hath known the things of a man except the
 spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God
 knows no one except the Spirit of God.
2:12 But *we* have received, not the spirit of the world, but
 the Spirit which [is] of God, that we may know the things which
 have been freely given to us of God:
2:13 which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom,
 but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual
 [things] by spiritual [means].
2:14 But [the] natural man does not receive the things of the
 Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know
 [them] because they are spiritually discerned;
2:15 but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is
 discerned of no one.
2:16 For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall
 instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.
3:1 And *I*, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to
 spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.
3:2 I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not
 yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able;
3:3 for ye are yet carnal. For whereas [there are] among you
 emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to
 man?
3:4 For when one says, *I* am of Paul, and another, *I* of
 Apollos, are ye not men?
3:5 Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants,
 through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to
 each.
3:6 *I* have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the
 increase.
3:7 So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer;
 but God the giver of the increase.
3:8 But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall
 receive his own reward according to his own labour.
3:9 For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry,
 God's building.
3:10 According to the grace of God which has been given to me,
 as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another
 builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.
3:11 For other foundation can no man lay besides that which [is]
 laid, which is Jesus Christ.
3:12 Now if any one build upon [this] foundation, gold, silver,
 precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
3:13 the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall
 declare [it], because it is revealed in fire; and the fire
 shall try the work of each what it is.
3:14 If the work of any one which he has built upon [the
 foundation] shall abide, he shall receive a reward.
3:15 If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer
 loss, but *he* shall be saved, but so as through [the] fire.
3:16 Do ye not know that ye are [the] temple of God, and [that]
 the Spirit of God dwells in you?
3:17 If any one corrupt the temple of God, *him* shall God
 destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are *ye*.
3:18 Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be
 wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he
 may be wise.
3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for
 it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.
3:20 And again, [The] Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that
 they are vain.
3:21 So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours.
3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or [the] world, or
 life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are
 yours;
3:23 and *ye* [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] Go
