1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
| 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. | |
1:10 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.
| 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. |
1:12 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.
| 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? | |
1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
| 1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. |
| 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. |
1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
| 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. | |
1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
| 1:20 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? |
1:21 For after that 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.
| 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: |
| 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; | |
| 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. | |
| 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. | |
1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:1:27 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;
| 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: | |
| 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. | |
| 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: | |
1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
