Return to Index

Chapter 1

1


 

  Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,  

 

 

--

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:  

 

 

--

3


 

  Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.  

 

 

--

4


 

  I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;  

 

 

--

5


 

  that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,  

 

 

--

6


 

  (according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you,)  

 

 

--

7


 

  so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;  

 

 

--

8


 

  who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  

 

 

--

9


 

  God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?  

 

 

--

14


 

  I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,  

 

 

--

15


 

  that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

18


 

  For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.  

 

 

--

19


 

  For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;  

 

 

--

23


 

  but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;  

 

 

--

24


 

  but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.  

 

 

--

25


 

  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.  

 

 

--

26


 

  For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.  

 

 

--

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;  

 

 

--

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;  

 

 

--

29


 

  so that no flesh should boast before God.  

 

 

--

30


 

  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;  

 

 

--

31


 

  that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.

1st Corinthians 2
