Ch. I.
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ
through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
to the church of God which is in Corinth,
2
even to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and
called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is both their
Lord and ours;
3 grace and peace be to you from God
our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I always give thanks unto my God, on your account,
for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus;
that ye are enriched by Him with every gift,
5 in all note utterance
and note knowledge;
6 (even as the testimony note of
Christ was confirmed among you;
7 ) so that ye are deficient
in no gift, expecting the revelation of our Lord
Jesus Christ:
8 who will also confirm you unto the end,
that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus
Christ;
9 for God is faithful by whom ye were called
into the communion of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Now I note beseech you, brethren, by the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that ye would all say note alike, and that
there may be no schisms among you, but that ye be perfectly
united in the same mind and in the same judgement.
11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren,
by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions
among you.
12 I mean note, that each of you saith, as if of
different parties, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, I of
Cephas, and I of Christ.
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul
-- --
crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of
Paul?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except
Crispus and Gaius:
15 so that no one can say note I baptized
in my own name.
16 I also baptized indeed the family of
Stephanas: but note I know not whether I baptized any
other.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach
the gospel: not in note fine speech, least the cross of Christ
should be made of no effect.
18 For the note doctrine of the cross is to them, that perish,
foolishness: but to us, who are saved, it is the power of
God.
19 For it is note written, “I will destroy the wisdom
of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding
of the note prudent.”
20 Where is the wise? where is the
scribe? where is the disputant of note the age? hath not
God note made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For,
since in the wisdom of God the world by it's wisdom
knew not God, it pleased God by what they called the
folly of preaching to save those that believe.
22 And
whereas the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks look
for wisdom, note we preach Christ crucified;
23 to the Jews
indeed a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
but to them that are called,
24 both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God, as they call it, is wiser
than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than
men.
26 For ye see by your calling, brethren, that not
many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty,
not many noble are called:
27 but God hath chosen things
that are foolish in the eye of the world to put it's wise
men to confusion; and God hath chosen the weak things
of the world to confound the mighty;
28 and things in the
opinion of the world ignoble, and despicable, and accounted
as nothing, hath God chosen, to abolish things
that are in esteem among men;
29 that no flesh may glory in
his presence.
30 But ye are of Him in Christ Jesus, who
from God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness,
and sanctification, and redemption:
31 that, as it is written,
He that glorieth may glory in the Lord.
