Chapter 1

¹ PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,
² To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place of theirs and ours.
³ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,
⁵ That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
⁶ As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
⁷ So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁸ Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁹ God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
¹¹ For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
¹² Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ.
¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
¹⁴ I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;
¹⁵ Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.
¹⁶ And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
¹⁸ For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.
¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.
²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
²¹ For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe.
²² For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
²³ But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:
²⁴ But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
²⁶ For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:
²⁷ But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.
²⁸ And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:
²⁹ That no flesh should glory in his sight.
³⁰ But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:
³¹ That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.

Chapter 1

¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
² To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.
³ Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
⁵ That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
⁶ Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
⁷ So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
⁸ Who will also confirm you to the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
¹¹ For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
¹² Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
¹³ Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
¹⁵ Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.
¹⁶ And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
¹⁷ For Christ hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
¹⁸ For the preaching 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 written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
²⁰ Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
²¹ For when in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
²² For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom:
²³ But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
²⁴ But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
²⁶ For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:
²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
²⁸ And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
²⁹ That no flesh should glory in his presence.
³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
³¹ That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

¹ called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
² the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
³ to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
⁵ in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;
⁶ as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
⁷ that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
⁸ will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁹ is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
¹⁰ I beg you, brothers, through 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 perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
¹¹ it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.
¹² I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."
¹³ Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
¹⁴ thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
¹⁵ that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
¹⁶ also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don't know whether I baptized any other.)
¹⁷ Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News--not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn't be made void.
¹⁸ the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.
¹⁹ it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing."
²⁰ is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
²¹ seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn't know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
²² Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
²³ we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,
²⁴ to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
²⁵ the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
²⁶ you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
²⁷ God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
²⁸ God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:
²⁹ no flesh should boast before God.
³⁰ of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
³¹ according as it is written, "He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."

Chapter 1

¹ Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,
² to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:
³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;
⁵ that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,
⁶ (according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you,)
⁷ so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
⁸ who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁹ God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
¹⁰ Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion.
¹¹ For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you.
¹² But I speak of this, that each of you says, *I* am of Paul, and *I* of Apollos, and *I* of Cephas, and *I* of Christ.
¹³ Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?
¹⁴ I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,
¹⁵ that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.
¹⁶ Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.
¹⁷ For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.
¹⁸ For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.
¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.
²⁰ Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.
²² Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;
²³ but *we* preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;
²⁴ but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.
²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
²⁶ For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
²⁷ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;
²⁸ and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;
²⁹ so that no flesh should boast before God.
³⁰ But of him are *ye* in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;
³¹ that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.

¹⁸ For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God.
¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought.
²⁰ Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
²¹ For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe.

²³ but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;
²⁴ but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
²⁶ For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:
²⁷ but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
²⁸ and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:
²⁹ that no flesh should glory before God.
³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Chapter 1

¹ Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
² To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;
⁵ So that in him you have wealth in all things, in word and in knowledge of every sort;
⁶ Even as the witness of the Christ has been made certain among you:
⁷ So that having every grace you are living in the hope of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
⁸ Who will give you strength to the end, to be free from all sin in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁹ God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
¹⁰ Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.
¹¹ Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.
¹² That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's.
¹³ Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?
¹⁴ I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius;
¹⁵ So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name.
¹⁶ And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas; but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me.
¹⁷ For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.
¹⁸ For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.
¹⁹ As it says in the holy Writings, I will put an end to the wisdom of the wise, and will put on one side the designs of those who have knowledge.
²⁰ Where is the wise? where is he who has knowledge of the law? where is the man of this world who has a love of discussion? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
²¹ For because, by the purpose of God, the world, with all its wisdom, had not the knowledge of God, it was God's pleasure, by so foolish a thing as preaching, to give salvation to those who had faith in him.
²² Seeing that the Jews make request for signs, and the Greeks are looking for knowledge:
²³ But we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles;
²⁴ But to those of God's selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God.
²⁵ Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men.
²⁶ For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble:
²⁷ But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong;
²⁸ And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are:
²⁹ So that no flesh might have glory before God.
³⁰ But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy:
³¹ So that, as it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord.
