Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God and Sosthenes our brother
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
3
Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ
4
I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ
5
That in every thing ye are enriched by him in all utterance and in all knowledge
6
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you
7
So that ye come behind in no gift waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
8
Who shall also confirm you unto the end that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ
9
God is faithful by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord
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
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
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
13
Is Christ divided was Paul crucified for you or were ye baptized in the name of Paul
14
I thank God that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Gaius
15
Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name
16
And I baptized also the household of Stephanas besides I know not whether I baptized any other
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
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
19
For it is written I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent
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
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
22
For the Jews require a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom
23
But we preach Christ crucified unto the Jews a stumblingblock and unto the Greeks foolishness
24
But unto them which are called both Jews and Greeks Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God
25
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men and the weakness of God is stronger than men
26
For ye see your calling brethren how that not many wise men after the flesh not many mighty not many noble are called
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
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
29
That no flesh should glory in his presence
30
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption
31
That according as it is written He that glorieth let him glory in the Lord
