1Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes,G3972G2822G652G2424G5547G1223G2307G2316G2532G4988G80 2To 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:G1577G2316G3588G5607G1722G2882G37G1722G5547G2424G2822G40G4862G3956G1722G3956G5117G1941G3686G2424G5547G2257G2962G5037G846G2532G2257 3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.G5485G5213G2532G1515G575G2316G2257G3962G2532G2962G2424G5547 4I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,G2168G3450G2316G3842G4012G5216G4012G1909G5485G2316G3588G1325G5213G1722G2424G5547 5that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge—G3754G1722G3956G4148G1722G846G1722G3956G3056G2532G3956G1108 6even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you—G2531G3142G5547G950G1722G5213 7so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,G5620G5209G5302G1722G3361G3367G5486G553G602G2257G2962G2424G5547 8who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.G3739G950G2532G950G5209G2193G5056G410G1722G2250G2257G2962G2424G5547 9God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.G2316G4103G1223G3739G2564G1519G2842G846G5207G2424G5547G2257G2962 10I 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.G1161G3870G5209G80G1223G3686G2257G2962G2424G5547G2443G3004G3956G3004G846G2532G5600G3361G4978G1722G5213G1161G5600G2675G1722G846G3563G2532G1722G846G1106 11For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers.G1063G1213G3427G4012G5216G3450G80G5259G3588G5514G3754G1526G2054G1722G5213 12What I mean is that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," or "I follow Apollos," or "I follow Cephas," or "I follow Christ."G1161G5124G3004G3754G1538G5216G3004G1473G3303G1510G3972G1161G1473G625G1161G1473G2786G1161G1473G5547 13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?G3307G5547G3307G3361G4717G3972G4717G5228G5216G2228G907G1519G3686G3972 14I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,G2168G2316G3754G907G3762G5216G1508G2921G2532G1050 15so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name.G3363G5100G2036G3754G907G1519G1699G3686 16(I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.)G1161G907G2532G3624G4734G3063G1492G3756G907G1536G243 17For 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.G1063G5547G649G3165G3756G907G235G2097G3756G1722G4678G3056G3363G4716G5547G2758 18For 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.G1063G3056G4716G2076G3303G622G3472G1161G2254G4982G2076G1411G2316 19For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart."G1063G1125G622G4678G4680G2532G114G4907G4908 20Where 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?G4226G4680G4226G1122G4226G4804G5127G165G3471G3780G2316G3471G4678G5127G2889 21For 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.G1063G1894G1722G4678G2316G2889G1223G4678G1097G3756G2316G2106G2316G1223G3472G2782G4982G4100 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom,G2532G1894G2453G154G4592G2532G1672G2212G4678 23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,G1161G2249G2784G5547G4717G2453G3303G4625G1161G1672G3472 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.G1161G846G3588G2822G5037G2453G2532G1672G5547G1411G2316G2532G4678G2316 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.G3754G3474G2316G2076G4680G444G2532G772G2316G2076G2478G444 26For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.G1063G991G5216G2821G80G3754G3756G4183G4680G2596G4561G3756G4183G1415G3756G4183G2104 27But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;G235G2316G1586G3474G2889G2443G2617G4680G2532G2316G1586G772G2889G2443G2617G2478 28God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,G2532G36G2889G2532G1848G1586G2316G1586G2532G3588G5607G3361G2443G2673G5607 29so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.G3704G3361G3956G4561G2744G1799G846 30And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,G1161G1537G846G2075G5210G1722G5547G2424G3739G575G2316G1096G2254G5037G4678G1343G2532G38G2532G629 31so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."G2443G2531G1125G2744G2744G1722G2962
