1 Corinthians Chapter 1|#11 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,#22 to 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:|*23 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.|*24 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;#25 That in every thing you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;#26 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:#27 So that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:#28 Who shall also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.#29 God is faithful, by whom you were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.|*210 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.#211 For it has been declared to me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.#212 Now this I say, that everyone of you said, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.#213 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?#214 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;#215 Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.#216 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.#217 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.|*218 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but to us which are saved it is the power of God.#219 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.#220 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?#221 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom did not know God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.#222 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:#223 But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumblingblock, and to the Greeks foolishness;#224 But to them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.|*225 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.#226 For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:#227 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;#228 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:#229 That no flesh should glory in his presence.#230 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:#231 That, according as it is written, He that glorify, let him glory in the Lord.
