1:1 Paul,
called
by
the
will
of
God
to
be
an
apostle
of
Christ
Jesus,
and
our
brother
Sosthenes,
1:2 To
the
church
of
God
that
is
in
Corinth,
to
those
sanctified
in
Christ
Jesus,
called
to
be
saints
together
with
all
those
who
in
every
place
call
upon
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
both
their
Lord
and
ours:
1:3 Grace
to
you
and
peace
from
God
our
Father
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
1:4 I
give
thanks
to
my
God
always
for
you
because
of
the
grace
of
God
that
was
given
you
in
Christ
Jesus,
1:5 that
in
every
way
you
were
enriched
in
him
in
all
speech
and
all
knowledge--
1:6 even
as
the
testimony
about
Christ
was
confirmed
among
you--
1:7 so
that
you
are
not
lacking
in
any
spiritual
gift,
as
you
wait
for
the
revealing
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
1:8 who
will
sustain
you
to
the
end,
guiltless
in
the
day
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
1:9 God
is
faithful,
by
whom
you
were
called
into
the
fellowship
of
his
Son,
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord.
1:10 I
appeal
to
you,
brothers,
by
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that
all
of
you
agree,
and
that
there
be
no
divisions
among
you,
but
that
you
be
united
in
the
same
mind
and
the
same
judgment.
1:11 For
it
has
been
reported
to
me
by
Chloe's
people
that
there
is
quarreling
among
you,
my
brothers.
1:12 What
I
mean
is
that
each
one
of
you
says,
"I
follow
Paul,"
or
"I
follow
Apollos,"
or
"I
follow
Cephas,"
or
"I
follow
Christ."
1:13 Is
Christ
divided
Was
Paul
crucified
for
you
Or
were
you
baptized
in
the
name
of
Paul
1:14 I
thank
God
that
I
baptized
none
of
you
except
Crispus
and
Gaius,
1:15 so
that
no
one
may
say
that
you
were
baptized
in
my
name.
1:16 (I
did
baptize
also
the
household
of
Stephanas.
Beyond
that,
I
do
not
know
whether
I
baptized
anyone
else.)
1:17 For
Christ
did
not
send
me
to
baptize
but
to
preach
the
gospel,
and
not
with
words
of
eloquent
wisdom,
lest
the
cross
of
Christ
be
emptied
of
its
power.
1:18 For
the
word
of
the
cross
is
folly
to
those
who
are
perishing,
but
to
us
who
are
being
saved
it
is
the
power
of
God.
1:19 For
it
is
written,
"I
will
destroy
the
wisdom
of
the
wise,
and
the
discernment
of
the
discerning
I
will
thwart."
1:20 Where
is
the
one
who
is
wise
Where
is
the
scribe
Where
is
the
debater
of
this
age
Has
not
God
made
foolish
the
wisdom
of
the
world
1:21 For
since,
in
the
wisdom
of
God,
the
world
did
not
know
God
through
wisdom,
it
pleased
God
through
the
folly
of
what
we
preach
to
save
those
who
believe.
1:22 For
Jews
demand
signs
and
Greeks
seek
wisdom,
1:23 but
we
preach
Christ
crucified,
a
stumbling
block
to
Jews
and
folly
to
Gentiles,
1:24 but
to
those
who
are
called,
both
Jews
and
Greeks,
Christ
the
power
of
God
and
the
wisdom
of
God.
1:25 For
the
foolishness
of
God
is
wiser
than
men,
and
the
weakness
of
God
is
stronger
than
men.
1:26 For
consider
your
calling,
brothers:
not
many
of
you
were
wise
according
to
worldly
standards,
not
many
were
powerful,
not
many
were
of
noble
birth.
1:27 But
God
chose
what
is
foolish
in
the
world
to
shame
the
wise;
God
chose
what
is
weak
in
the
world
to
shame
the
strong;
1:28 God
chose
what
is
low
and
despised
in
the
world,
even
things
that
are
not,
to
bring
to
nothing
things
that
are,
1:29 so
that
no
human
being
might
boast
in
the
presence
of
God.
1:30 And
because
of
him
you
are
in
Christ
Jesus,
who
became
to
us
wisdom
from
God,
righteousness
and
sanctification
and
redemption,
1:31 so
that,
as
it
is
written,
"Let
the
one
who
boasts,
boast
in
the
Lord."
