Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:1 - Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:2 - unto the church of God which is at Corinth, even them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, 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 thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:5 - that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:6 - even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:7 - so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:8 - who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye be unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:9 - God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:10 - Now I beseech you, brethren, through 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 perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:11 - For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them that are of the household of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:12 - Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:13 - Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:14 - I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:15 - lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:16 - And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:17 - For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

The Wisdom of God

(cf. Isa 29:14 )
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:18 - For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:19 - For it is written,
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 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 the world?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:21 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:22 - Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:23 - but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:24 - but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:25 - Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:26 - For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:27 - 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;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:28 - 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:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:29 - that no flesh should glory before God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:30 - But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:31 - that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
