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.
