A Church Divided Over Leaders

10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.G1161G3870G5209G80G1223G3686G2257G2962G2424G5547G2443G3004G3956G3004G846G2532G5600G3361G4978G1722G5213G1161G5600G2675G1722G846G3563G2532G1722G846G1106 11My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.G1063G1213G3427G4012G5216G3450G80G5259G3588G5514G3754G1526G2054G1722G5213 12What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ."G1161G5124G3004G3754G1538G5216G3004G1473G3303G1510G3972G1161G1473G625G1161G1473G2786G1161G1473G5547 13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?G3307G5547G3307G3361G4717G3972G4717G5228G5216G2228G907G1519G3686G3972 14I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,G2168G2316G3754G907G3762G5216G1508G2921G2532G1050 15so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.G3363G5100G2036G3754G907G1519G1699G3686 16(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.)G1161G907G2532G3624G4734G3063G1492G3756G907G1536G243 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.G1063G5547G649G3165G3756G907G235G2097G3756G1722G4678G3056G3363G4716G5547G2758

Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom

18For the message of the cross is foolishness 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; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."G1063G1125G622G4678G4680G2532G114G4907G4908 20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?G4226G4680G4226G1122G4226G4804G5127G165G3471G3780G2316G3471G4678G5127G2889 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.G1063G1894G1722G4678G2316G2889G1223G4678G1097G3756G2316G2106G2316G1223G3472G2782G4982G4100 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom,G2532G1894G2453G154G4592G2532G1672G2212G4678 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,G1161G2249G2784G5547G4717G2453G3303G4625G1161G1672G3472 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.G1161G846G3588G2822G5037G2453G2532G1672G5547G1411G2316G2532G4678G2316 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.G3754G3474G2316G2076G4680G444G2532G772G2316G2076G2478G444 26Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.G1063G991G5216G2821G80G3754G3756G4183G4680G2596G4561G3756G4183G1415G3756G4183G2104 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.G235G2316G1586G3474G2889G2443G2617G4680G2532G2316G1586G772G2889G2443G2617G2478 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,G2532G36G2889G2532G1848G1586G2316G1586G2532G3588G5607G3361G2443G2673G5607 29so that no one may boast before him.G3704G3361G3956G4561G2744G1799G846 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.G1161G1537G846G2075G5210G1722G5547G2424G3739G575G2316G1096G2254G5037G4678G1343G2532G38G2532G629 31Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."G2443G2531G1125G2744G2744G1722G2962
