1 Corinthians 1

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:1 - Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:2 - 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:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:3 - Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:4 - I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:5 - That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:6 - Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:7 - So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:8 - Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:9 - God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:10 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:11 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:12 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:13 - Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:14 - I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:15 - Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:16 - And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:17 - 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.

The Wisdom of God

(cf. Isa 29:14 )
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:18 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:19 - For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:20 - 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?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:21 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:22 - For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:23 - But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:24 - But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:25 - Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:26 - For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:27 - 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;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:28 - 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:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:29 - That no flesh should glory in his presence.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:30 - But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:31 - That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 2

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:1 - And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:2 - For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:3 - And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:4 - And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:5 - That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:6 - Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:7 - But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:8 - Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:9 - But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:10 - But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:11 - For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:12 - Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:13 - Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:14 - But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:15 - But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:16 - For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 3

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:1 - And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:2 - I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:3 - For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:4 - For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:5 - Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:6 - I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:7 - So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:8 - Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:9 - For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:10 - According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:11 - For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:12 - Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:13 - Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:14 - If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:15 - If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:17 - If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:18 - Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:19 - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:20 - And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:21 - Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:22 - Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:23 - And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

1 Corinthians 4

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:1 - Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:2 - Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:3 - But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:4 - For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:5 - Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:6 - And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:7 - For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:8 - Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:9 - For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:10 - We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:11 - Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:12 - And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:13 - Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:14 - I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:15 - For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:16 - Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:17 - For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:18 - Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:19 - But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:20 - For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:21 - What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
