1Corinthians 1
1. Paul <3972>, called <2822> [to be] an apostle <
0652> of
Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> through <1223> the
will <2307> of God
<2316>, and Sosthenes <4988> [our] brother <
0080>,
2 Unto the church <1577> of God <2316> which <
3588> is at
<1722> Corinth <2882>, to them that are sanctified
<0037> in
Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, called <2822> [to
be] saints <0040>,
with all <3956> that in every <3956> place <
5117> call <1941>
upon the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <
5547> our Lord
<2962>, both <5037> theirs and ours <2257>:
3 Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>,
from God
<2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <
2962> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>.
4 I thank <2168> my God <2316> always <3842>
on <4012> your
<5216> behalf <4012>, for the grace <5485> of
God <2316> which
<3588> is given <1325> you by Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>;
5 That in every <3956> thing ye are enriched <4148>
by him, in
all <3956> utterance <3056>, and [in] all <3956>
knowledge
<1108>;
6 Even <2531> as the testimony <3142> of Christ <
5547> was
confirmed <0950> in you:
7 So <5620> that ye come <5302> behind <5302>
in no <3367>
gift <5486>; waiting <0553> for the coming <
0602> of our Lord
<2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:
8 Who <3739> shall also <2532> confirm <0950>
you unto the end
<5056>, [that ye may be] blameless <0410> in the day
<2250> of
our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
9 God <2316> [is] faithful <4103>, by whom <
3739> ye were
called <2564> unto the fellowship <2842> of his Son
<5207> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>.
10. Now <1161> I beseech <3870> you, brethren <
0080>, by the
name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>, that
ye all <3956> speak <3004> the same <0846>
thing, and [that]
there be no <3361> divisions <4978> among <1722>
you; but [that]
ye be perfectly <2675> joined <2675> together <
2675> in the same
<0846> mind <3563> and in the same <0846>
judgment <1106>.
11 For it hath been declared <1213> unto me of you, my
brethren <0080>, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe
<5514>, that there are contentions <2054> among <
1722> you.
12 Now <1161> this <5124> I say <3004>, that
every <1538> one
of you saith <3004>, I am <1510> of Paul <3972>;
and I of
Apollos <0625>; and I of Cephas <2786>; and I of
Christ <5547>.
13 Is Christ <5547> divided <3307>? was Paul <
3972> crucified
<4717> for you? or <2228> were ye baptized <
0907> in the name
<3686> of Paul <3972>?
14. I thank <2168> God <2316> that I baptized <
0907> none
<3762> of you, but Crispus <2921> and Gaius <
1050>;
15 Lest <3361> any <3387> should say <2036>
that I had
baptized <0907> in mine <1699> own name <3686>.
16 And I baptized <0907> also <2532> the household
<3624> of
Stephanas <4734>: besides <3063>, I know <1492>
not whether
<1487> I baptized <0907> any <1536> other <
0243>.
17. For Christ <5547> sent <0649> me not to baptize
<0907>, but
to preach <2097> the gospel <2097>: not with wisdom
<4678> of
words <3056>, lest <3361> the cross <4716> of
Christ <5547>
should be made <2758> of none <2758> effect <
2758>.
18 For the preaching <3056> of the cross <4716> is
to them
that perish <0622> foolishness <3472>; but unto us
which are
saved <4982> it is the power <1411> of God <
2316>.
19 For it is written <1125>, I will destroy <0622>
the wisdom
<4678> of the wise <4680>, and will bring <0114>
to nothing
<0114> the understanding <4907> of the prudent <
4908>.
20 Where <4226> [is] the wise <4680>? where <
4226> [is] the
scribe <1122>? where <4226> [is] the disputer <
4804> of this
<5127> world <0165>? hath not God <2316> made
<3471> foolish
<3471> the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world
<2889>?
21 For after <1894> that in the wisdom <4678> of
God <2316>
the world <2889> by wisdom <4678> knew <1097>
not God <2316>, it
pleased <2106> God <2316> by the foolishness <
3472> of preaching
<2782> to save <4982> them that believe <4100>.
22 For the Jews <2453> require <0154> a sign <
4592>, and the
Greeks <1672> seek <2212> after wisdom <4678>:
23 But we preach <2784> Christ <5547> crucified <
4717>, unto
the Jews <2453> a stumblingblock <4625>, and unto the
Greeks
<1672> foolishness <3472>;
24 But unto them which <3588> are called <2822>,
both <5037>
Jews <2453> and Greeks <1672>, Christ <5547>
the power <1411> of
God <2316>, and the wisdom <4678> of God <2316>.
25 Because <3754> the foolishness <3474> of God <
2316> is
wiser <4680> than men <0444>; and the weakness <
0772> of God
<2316> is stronger <2478> than men <0444>.
26 For ye see <0991> your <5216> calling <
2821>, brethren
<0080>, how that not many <4183> wise <4680>
men after <2596>
the flesh <4561>, not many <4183> mighty <1415>,
not many <4183>
noble <2104>, [are called]:
27 But God <2316> hath chosen <1586> the foolish
<3474> things
of the world <2889> to confound <2617> the wise <
4680>; and God
<2316> hath chosen <1586> the weak <0772>
things of the world
<2889> to confound <2617> the things which are mighty
<2478>;
28 And base <0036> things of the world <2889>, and
things
which are despised <1848>, hath God <2316> chosen <
1586>, [yea],
and things which <3588> are not, to bring <2673> to
nought
<2673> things that are:
29 That no <3956> flesh <4561> should glory <
2744> in his
presence <1799>.
30 But of him are ye in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>,
who <3739>
of God <2316> is made <1096> unto us wisdom <
4678>, and
righteousness <1343>, and sanctification <0038>, and
redemption
<0629>:
31 That, according <2531> as it is written <1125>,
He that
glorieth <2744>, let him glory <2744> in the Lord <
2962>.
1Corinthians 2
1. And I, brethren <0080>, when I came <2064> to you,
came
<2064> not with excellency <5247> of speech <
3056> or <2228> of
wisdom <4678>, declaring <2605> unto you the
testimony <3142> of
God <2316>.
2 For I determined <2919> not to know <1492> any
<5100> thing
among <1722> you, save <1508> Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>, and
him crucified <4717>.
3 And I was with you in weakness <0769>, and in fear <
5401>,
and in much <4183> trembling <5156>.
4 And my speech <3056> and my preaching <2782>
[was] not with
enticing <3981> words <3056> of man's <0442>
wisdom <4678>, but
in demonstration <0585> of the Spirit <4151> and of
power <1411>:
5 That your <5216> faith <4102> should not stand
<1510> in the
wisdom <4678> of men <0444>, but in the power <
1411> of God
<2316>.
6. Howbeit we speak <2980> wisdom <4678> among <
1722> them that
are perfect <5046>: yet <1161> not the wisdom <
4678> of this
<5127> world <0165>, nor <3761> of the princes
<0758> of this
<5127> world <0165>, that come <2673> to nought
<2673>:
7 But we speak <2980> the wisdom <4678> of God <
2316> in a
mystery <3466>, [even] the hidden <0613> [wisdom],
which <3739>
God <2316> ordained <4304> before <4253> the
world <0165> unto
our glory <1391>:
8 Which <3739> none <3762> of the princes <
0758> of this
<5127> world <0165> knew <1097>: for had they
known <1097> [it],
they would not have crucified <4717> the Lord <2962>
of glory
<1391>.
