1Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through Gods will,and Sosthenes the brother, 2Unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints,with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place,their Lord and ours: 3Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ. 4I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto you in Christ Jesus, 5That, in everything, ye have been enriched in himin all discourse and in all knowledge; 6Even as, the witness of the Christ, hath been confirmed in you, 7So that ye come short in no gift of favour,ardently awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8Who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ : 9Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 10But I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly joined togetherin the same mind, and in the same judgment. 11For it hath been signified unto me, concerning you, my brethren,by them who are of Chloe,that there are strifes among you, 12Now I mean this,that, each one of you, is sayingI, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ: 13The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed? 14I give thanks, that, none of you, did I immersesave Crispus and Gaius, 15Lest any should sayinto my own name, I immersed: 16Yea! I immersed the house of Stephanas also,besides, I know not whether, anyone else, I immersed. 17For Christ sent me not, to be immersing, but to be telling the good news,not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ. 18For, the discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being savedunto us, it is, Gods power. 19For it is writtenI will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside. 20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well-pleasedthrough the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, to save them that believe. 22Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek, 23Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified,unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness; 24But, unto the called themselvesboth Jews and Greeks, Christ, Gods power, and, Gods wisdom. 25Because, Gods foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, Gods weak thing, mightier than men. 26For be looking at the calling of you, brethren,that not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born: 27On the contrarythe foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty, 28And, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, and the things that are not,that, the things that are, he might bring to nought; 29So that no flesh should boast before God. 30But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God,both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31In order that, even as it is writtenHe that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.
