1 Corinthians - ch 1 v 1 - 20
- 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, `even' them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called `to be' saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their `Lord' and ours:
- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
- that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge;
- even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
- so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
- who shall also confirm you unto the end, `that ye be' unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
- Now I beseech you, brethren, through 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 perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
- For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them `that are of the household' of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
- Now this I mean, that each 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 into the name of Paul?
- I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;
- lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my 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 in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
- For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God.
- For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought.
- Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
