Paul calledG2822 to be an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 throughG1223 the willG2307 of God,G2316 and SosthenesG4988 our brother,G80
2
To the churchG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is atG1722 Corinth,G2882 to them that are sanctifiedG37 in ChristG5547 Jesus,G2424 calledG2822 to be saints,G40 with allG3956 that in everyG3956 placeG5117 callG1941 on the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our Lord,G2962 bothG5037 their's and our's:G2257
3
GraceG5485 be to you, and peace,G1515 from GodG2316 our Father,G3962 and from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ.G5547
4
I thankG2168 my GodG2316 alwaysG3842 onG4012 yourG5216 behalf,G4012 for the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 you by JesusG2424 Christ;G5547
5
That in everyG3956 thing you are enrichedG4148 by him, in allG3956 utterance,G3056 and in allG3956 knowledge;G1108
6
EvenG2531 as the testimonyG3142 of ChristG5547 was confirmedG950 in you:
7
SoG5620 that you comeG5302 behindG5302 in noG3367 gift;G5486 waitingG553 for the comingG602 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ:G5547
8
WhoG3739 shall alsoG2532 confirmG950 you to the end,G5056 that you may be blamelessG410 in the dayG2250 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ.G5547
9
GodG2316 is faithful,G4103 by whomG3739 you were calledG2564 to the fellowshipG2842 of his SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our Lord.G2962
10
NowG1161 I beseechG3870 you, brothers,G80 by the nameG3686 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 that you allG3956 speakG3004 the sameG846 thing, and that there be noG3361 divisionsG4978 amongG1722 you; but that you be perfectlyG2675 joinedG2675 togetherG2675 in the sameG846 mindG3563 and in the sameG846 judgment.G1106
11
For it has been declaredG1213 to me of you, my brothers,G80 by them which are of the house of Chloe,G5514 that there are contentionsG2054 amongG1722 you.
12
NowG1161 thisG5124 I say,G3004 that everyG1538 one of you said,G3004 I amG1510 of Paul; and I of Apollos;G625 and I of Cephas;G2786 and I of Christ.G5547
13
Is ChristG5547 divided?G3307 was Paul crucifiedG4717 for you? orG2228 were you baptizedG907 in the nameG3686 of Paul?
14
I thankG2168 GodG2316 that I baptizedG907 noneG3762 of you, but CrispusG2921 and Gaius;G1050
15
LestG2443 G3361 anyG3387 should sayG2036 that I had baptizedG907 in myG1699 own name.G3686
16
And I baptizedG907 alsoG2532 the householdG3624 of Stephanas:G4734 besides,G3063 I knowG1492 not whetherG1487 I baptizedG907 anyG1536 other.G243
17
For ChristG5547 sentG649 me not to baptize,G907 but to preachG2097 the gospel:G2097 not with wisdomG4678 of words,G3056 lestG2443 G3361 the crossG4716 of ChristG5547 should be madeG2758 of noneG2758 effect.G2758
18
For the preachingG3056 of the crossG4716 is to them that perishG622 foolishness;G3472 but to us which are savedG4982 it is the powerG1411 of God.G2316
19
For it is written,G1125 I will destroyG622 the wisdomG4678 of the wise,G4680 and will bringG114 to nothingG114 the understandingG4907 of the prudent.G4908
20
WhereG4226 is the wise?G4680 whereG4226 is the scribe?G1122 whereG4226 is the disputerG4804 of thisG5127 world?G165 has not GodG2316 madeG3471 foolishG3471 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 world?G2889
21
For afterG1894 that in the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 the worldG2889 by wisdomG4678 knewG1097 not God,G2316 it pleasedG2106 GodG2316 by the foolishnessG3472 of preachingG2782 to saveG4982 them that believe.G4100
22
For the JewsG2453 requireG154 a sign,G4592 and the GreeksG1672 seekG2212 after wisdom:G4678
23
But we preachG2784 ChristG5547 crucified,G4717 to the JewsG2453 a stumbling block,G4625 and to the GreeksG1672 foolishness;G3472
24
But to them whichG3588 are called,G2822 bothG5037 JewsG2453 and Greeks,G1672 ChristG5547 the powerG1411 of God,G2316 and the wisdomG4678 of God.G2316
25
BecauseG3754 the foolishnessG3474 of GodG2316 is wiserG4680 than men;G444 and the weaknessG772 of GodG2316 is strongerG2478 than men.G444
26
For you seeG991 yourG5216 calling,G2821 brothers,G80 how that not manyG4183 wiseG4680 men afterG2596 the flesh,G4561 not manyG4183 mighty,G1415 not manyG4183 noble,G2104 are called:
27
But GodG2316 has chosenG1586 the foolishG3474 things of the worldG2889 to confoundG2617 the wise;G4680 and GodG2316 has chosenG1586 the weakG772 things of the worldG2889 to confoundG2617 the things which are mighty;G2478
28
And baseG36 things of the world,G2889 and things which are despised,G1848 has GodG2316 chosen,G1586 yes, and things whichG3588 are not, to bringG2673 to nothingG2673 things that are:
29
That noG3361 G3956 fleshG4561 should gloryG2744 in his presence.G1799
30
But of him are you in ChristG5547 Jesus,G2424 whoG3739 of GodG2316 is madeG1096 to us wisdom,G4678 and righteousness,G1343 and sanctification,G38 and redemption:G629
31
That, accordingG2531 as it is written,G1125 He that glories,G2744 let him gloryG2744 in the Lord.G2962
