1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,G3972G2822G652G2424G5547G1223G2307G2316G2532G4988G80 2To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:G1577G2316G3588G5607G1722G2882G37G1722G5547G2424G2822G40G4862G3956G1722G3956G5117G1941G3686G2424G5547G2257G2962G5037G846G2532G2257 3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.G5485G5213G2532G1515G575G2316G2257G3962G2532G2962G2424G5547 4I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,G2168G3450G2316G3842G4012G5216G4012G1909G5485G2316G3588G1325G5213G1722G2424G5547 5that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge,G3754G1722G3956G4148G1722G846G1722G3956G3056G2532G3956G1108 6even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,G2531G3142G5547G950G1722G5213 7so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,G5620G5209G5302G1722G3361G3367G5486G553G602G2257G2962G2424G5547 8who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless 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 10Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.G1161G3870G5209G80G1223G3686G2257G2962G2424G5547G2443G3004G3956G3004G846G2532G5600G3361G4978G1722G5213G1161G5600G2675G1722G846G3563G2532G1722G846G1106 11For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.G1063G1213G3427G4012G5216G3450G80G5259G3588G5514G3754G1526G2054G1722G5213 12Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of 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 15lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.G3363G5100G2036G3754G907G1519G1699G3686 16Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.G1161G907G2532G3624G4734G3063G1492G3756G907G1536G243 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.G1063G5547G649G3165G3756G907G235G2097G3756G1722G4678G3056G3363G4716G5547G2758 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, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."G1063G1125G622G4678G4680G2532G114G4907G4908 20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?G4226G4680G4226G1122G4226G4804G5127G165G3471G3780G2316G3471G4678G5127G2889 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.G1063G1894G1722G4678G2316G2889G1223G4678G1097G3756G2316G2106G2316G1223G3472G2782G4982G4100 22For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;G2532G1894G2453G154G4592G2532G1672G2212G4678 23but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,G1161G2249G2784G5547G4717G2453G3303G4625G1161G1672G3472 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.G1161G846G3588G2822G5037G2453G2532G1672G5547G1411G2316G2532G4678G2316 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.G3754G3474G2316G2076G4680G444G2532G772G2316G2076G2478G444 26For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.G1063G991G5216G2821G80G3754G3756G4183G4680G2596G4561G3756G4183G1415G3756G4183G2104 27But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;G235G2316G1586G3474G2889G2443G2617G4680G2532G2316G1586G772G2889G2443G2617G2478 28and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,G2532G36G2889G2532G1848G1586G2316G1586G2532G3588G5607G3361G2443G2673G5607 29that no flesh should glory in His presence.G3704G3361G3956G4561G2744G1799G846 30But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—G1161G1537G846G2075G5210G1722G5547G2424G3739G575G2316G1096G2254G5037G4678G1343G2532G38G2532G629 31that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD."G2443G2531G1125G2744G2744G1722G2962
