1Corinthians 1
1. Paul <3972>, called <2822> [to be] an apostle <652> of Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547> through <1223> the will <2307> of God
<2316>, and Sosthenes <4988> [our] brother <80>,
2 Unto the church <1577> of God <2316> which <3588> is at
<1722> Corinth <2882>, to them that are sanctified <37> in
Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, called <2822> [to be] saints <40>,
with all <3956> that in every <3956> place <5117> call <1941>
upon the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord
<2962>, both <5037> theirs and ours <2257>:
3 Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God
<2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>.
4 I thank <2168> my God <2316> always <3842> on <4012> your
<5216> behalf <4012>, for the grace <5485> of God <2316> which
<3588> is given <1325> you by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>;
5 That in every <3956> thing ye are enriched <4148> by him, in
all <3956> utterance <3056>, and [in] all <3956> knowledge
<1108>;
6 Even <2531> as the testimony <3142> of Christ <5547> was
confirmed <950> in you:
7 So <5620> that ye come <5302> behind <5302> in no <3367>
gift <5486>; waiting <553> for the coming <602> of our Lord
<2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:
8 Who <3739> shall also <2532> confirm <950> you unto the end
<5056>, [that ye may be] blameless <410> in the day <2250> of
our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
9 God <2316> [is] faithful <4103>, by whom <3739> ye were
called <2564> unto the fellowship <2842> of his Son <5207> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>.
10. Now <1161> I beseech <3870> you, brethren <80>, by the name
<3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that ye
all <3956> speak <3004> the same <846> thing, and [that] there
be no <3361> divisions <4978> among <1722> you; but [that] ye be
perfectly <2675> joined <2675> together <2675> in the same <846>
mind <3563> and in the same <846> judgment <1106>.
11 For it hath been declared <1213> unto me of you, my
brethren <80>, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe <5514>,
that there are contentions <2054> among <1722> you.
12 Now <1161> this <5124> I say <3004>, that every <1538> one
of you saith <3004>, I am <1510> of Paul <3972>; and I of
Apollos <625>; and I of Cephas <2786>; and I of Christ <5547>.
13 Is Christ <5547> divided <3307>? was Paul <3972> crucified
<4717> for you? or <2228> were ye baptized <907> in the name
<3686> of Paul <3972>?
14. I thank <2168> God <2316> that I baptized <907> none <3762>
of you, but Crispus <2921> and Gaius <1050>;
15 Lest <3361> any <3387> should say <2036> that I had
baptized <907> in mine <1699> own name <3686>.
16 And I baptized <907> also <2532> the household <3624> of
Stephanas <4734>: besides <3063>, I know <1492> not whether
<1487> I baptized <907> any <1536> other <243>.
17. For Christ <5547> sent <649> me not to baptize <907>, but
to preach <2097> the gospel <2097>: not with wisdom <4678> of
words <3056>, lest <3361> the cross <4716> of Christ <5547>
should be made <2758> of none <2758> effect <2758>.
18 For the preaching <3056> of the cross <4716> is to them
that perish <622> foolishness <3472>; but unto us which are
saved <4982> it is the power <1411> of God <2316>.
19 For it is written <1125>, I will destroy <622> the wisdom
<4678> of the wise <4680>, and will bring <114> to nothing <114>
the understanding <4907> of the prudent <4908>.
20 Where <4226> [is] the wise <4680>? where <4226> [is] the
scribe <1122>? where <4226> [is] the disputer <4804> of this
<5127> world <165>? hath not God <2316> made <3471> foolish
<3471> the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <2889>?
21 For after <1894> that in the wisdom <4678> of God <2316>
the world <2889> by wisdom <4678> knew <1097> not God <2316>, it
pleased <2106> God <2316> by the foolishness <3472> of preaching
<2782> to save <4982> them that believe <4100>.
22 For the Jews <2453> require <154> a sign <4592>, and the
Greeks <1672> seek <2212> after wisdom <4678>:
23 But we preach <2784> Christ <5547> crucified <4717>, unto
the Jews <2453> a stumblingblock <4625>, and unto the Greeks
<1672> foolishness <3472>;
24 But unto them which <3588> are called <2822>, both <5037>
Jews <2453> and Greeks <1672>, Christ <5547> the power <1411> of
God <2316>, and the wisdom <4678> of God <2316>.
25 Because <3754> the foolishness <3474> of God <2316> is
wiser <4680> than men <444>; and the weakness <772> of God
<2316> is stronger <2478> than men <444>.
26 For ye see <991> your <5216> calling <2821>, brethren <80>,
how that not many <4183> wise <4680> men after <2596> the flesh
<4561>, not many <4183> mighty <1415>, not many <4183> noble
<2104>, [are called]:
27 But God <2316> hath chosen <1586> the foolish <3474> things
of the world <2889> to confound <2617> the wise <4680>; and God
<2316> hath chosen <1586> the weak <772> things of the world
<2889> to confound <2617> the things which are mighty <2478>;
28 And base <36> things of the world <2889>, and things which
are despised <1848>, hath God <2316> chosen <1586>, [yea], and
things which <3588> are not, to bring <2673> to nought <2673>
things that are:
29 That no <3956> flesh <4561> should glory <2744> in his
presence <1799>.
30 But of him are ye in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, who <3739>
of God <2316> is made <1096> unto us wisdom <4678>, and
righteousness <1343>, and sanctification <38>, and redemption
<629>:
31 That, according <2531> as it is written <1125>, He that
glorieth <2744>, let him glory <2744> in the Lord <2962>.
1Corinthians 2
1. And I, brethren <80>, when I came <2064> to you, came <2064>
not with excellency <5247> of speech <3056> or <2228> of wisdom
<4678>, declaring <2605> unto you the testimony <3142> of God
<2316>.
2 For I determined <2919> not to know <1492> any <5100> thing
among <1722> you, save <1508> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and
him crucified <4717>.
3 And I was with you in weakness <769>, and in fear <5401>,
and in much <4183> trembling <5156>.
4 And my speech <3056> and my preaching <2782> [was] not with
enticing <3981> words <3056> of man's <442> wisdom <4678>, but
in demonstration <585> of the Spirit <4151> and of power <1411>:
5 That your <5216> faith <4102> should not stand <1510> in the
wisdom <4678> of men <444>, but in the power <1411> of God
<2316>.
6. Howbeit we speak <2980> wisdom <4678> among <1722> them that
are perfect <5046>: yet <1161> not the wisdom <4678> of this
<5127> world <165>, nor <3761> of the princes <758> of this
<5127> world <165>, that come <2673> to nought <2673>:
7 But we speak <2980> the wisdom <4678> of God <2316> in a
mystery <3466>, [even] the hidden <613> [wisdom], which <3739>
God <2316> ordained <4304> before <4253> the world <165> unto
our glory <1391>:
8 Which <3739> none <3762> of the princes <758> of this <5127>
