Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:1 - Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sos'thenes,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:2 - To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:3 - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:4 - I give thanks to God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:5 - that in every way you were enriched in him with all speech and all knowledge--
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:6 - even as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you--
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:7 - so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:8 - who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:10 - I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no dissensions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:11 - For it has been reported to me by Chlo'e's people that there is quarreling among you, my brethren.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:12 - What I mean is that each one of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apol'los," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ."

The Wisdom of God

(cf. Isa 29:14 )
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:18 - For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:19 - For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart."
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:20 - Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:21 - For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:22 - For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:23 - but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:24 - but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:25 - For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:26 - For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:27 - but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:28 - God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:29 - so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:30 - He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:31 - therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord."
