1 Corinthians Chapter 1

1Co 1:1 Paul, a called apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Sosthenes my brother,
1Co 1:2 to the church of God that is in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
1Co 1:3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 1:4 I thank my God always on your account for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,
1Co 1:5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge,
1Co 1:6 inasmuch as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
1Co 1:7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Co 1:8 who will also confirm you to the end that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 1:9 God is faithful through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
1Co 1:10 But I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing; and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1Co 1:11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1Co 1:12 And I say this, that each of you says: 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 you baptized into the name of Paul?
1Co 1:14 I thank God that I baptized no one of you except Crispus and Gaius:
1Co 1:15 that no one might say that you were baptized into my 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 did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to those that perish foolishness, but to those that are saved it is the power of God.
1Co 1:19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the prudence of the prudent.
1Co 1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
1Co 1:21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world, through wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God through the foolishness of what is preached, to save those that believe:
1Co 1:22 since Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek for wisdom,
1Co 1:23 we, however, preach Christ crucified, to Jews indeed a stumbling-block, and to Gentiles foolishness,
1Co 1:24 but to these the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God’s power and God’s wisdom;
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 see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
1Co 1:27 but the foolish things of the world has God chosen, that he may shame the wise, and the weak things of the world has God chosen, that he may shame the strong,
1Co 1:28 and the ignoble things of the world and things that are despised has God chosen, things that are not, that he may bring to nought things that are,
1Co 1:29 to the end that no flesh should glory in the sight of God.
1Co 1:30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,
1Co 1:31 that as it is written: He that glories, in the Lord let him glory.
