      | ¶ | Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother, | |
| Unto 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: | ||
 | Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. | ||
| ¶ | I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; | |
| That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge; | ||
| Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: | ||
| So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: | ||
| Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. | ||
| God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. | ||
| ¶ | Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. | |
| For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. | ||
| Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. | ||
| Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? | ||
| I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; | ||
| Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. | ||
| And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. | ||
| 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. | ||
 | ¶ | For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. | |
| For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. | ||
| Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? | ||
| For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. | ||
| For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: | ||
| But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; | ||
| But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. | ||
| Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. | ||
| ¶ | For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: | |
| But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; | ||
| And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: | ||
| That no flesh should glory in his presence. | ||
| But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: | ||
| That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. |
