1Paul <3972>_, called <2822> [to be] an apostle <652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> through <1223> the will <2307> of God <2316>_, and <2532> Sosthenes <4988> [our] brother <80>_,
2Unto the church <1577> of God <2316> which <3588> is <5607> (5752) at <1722> Corinth <2882>_, to them that are sanctified <37> (5772) in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>_, called <2822> [to be] saints <40>_, with <4862> all <3956> that in <1722> every <3956> place <5117> call upon <1941> (5734) the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our <2257> Lord <2962>_, both <5037> theirs <846> and <2532> ours <2257>_:
3Grace <5485> [be] unto you <5213>_, and <2532> peace <1515>_, from <575> God <2316> our <2257> Father <3962>_, and <2532> [from] the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_.
4I thank <2168> (5719) my <3450> God <2316> always <3842> on <4012> (0) your <5216> behalf <4012>_, for <1909> the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325> (5685) you <5213> by <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_;
5That <3754> in <1722> every thing <3956> ye are enriched <4148> (5681) by <1722> him <846>_, in <1722> all <3956> utterance <3056>_, and <2532> [in] all <3956> knowledge <1108>_;
6Even as <2531> the testimony <3142> of Christ <5547> was confirmed <950> (5681) in <1722> you <5213>_:
7So that <5620> ye <5209> come behind <5302> (5745) in <1722> no <3361> <3367> gift <5486>_; waiting for <553> (5740) the coming <602> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_: {coming: Gr. revelation}
8Who <3739> shall <950> (0) also <2532> confirm <950> (5692) you <5209> unto <2193> the end <5056>_, [that ye may be] blameless <410> in <1722> the day <2250> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_.
9God <2316> [is] faithful <4103>_, by <1223> whom <3739> ye were called <2564> (5681) unto <1519> the fellowship <2842> of his <846> Son <5207> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our <2257> Lord <2962>_.
10Now <1161> I beseech <3870> (5719) you <5209>_, brethren <80>_, by <1223> the name <3686> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_, that <2443> ye <3004> (0) all <3956> speak <3004> (5725) the same thing <846>_, and <2532> [that] there be <5600> (5753) no <3361> divisions <4978> among <1722> you <5213>_; but <1161> [that] ye be <5600> (5753) perfectly joined together <2675> (5772) in <1722> the same <846> mind <3563> and <2532> in <1722> the same <846> judgment <1106>_. {divisions: Gr. schisms}
11For <1063> it hath been declared <1213> (5681) unto me <3427> of <4012> you <5216>_, my <3450> brethren <80>_, by <5259> them [which are of the house <3588>_] of Chloe <5514>_, that <3754> there are <1526> (5748) contentions <2054> among <1722> you <5213>_.
12Now <1161> this <5124> I say <3004> (5719)_, that <3754> every one <1538> of you <5216> saith <3004> (5719)_, I <1473> <3303> am <1510> (5748) of Paul <3972>_; and <1161> I <1473> of Apollos <625>_; and <1161> I <1473> of Cephas <2786>_; and <1161> I <1473> of Christ <5547>_.
13Is <3307> (0) Christ <5547> divided <3307> (5769)_? <3361> was <4717> (0) Paul <3972> crucified <4717> (5681) for <5228> you <5216>_? or <2228> were ye baptized <907> (5681) in <1519> the name <3686> of Paul <3972>_?
14I thank <2168> (5719) God <2316> that <3754> I baptized <907> (5656) none <3762> of you <5216>_, but <1508> Crispus <2921> and <2532> Gaius <1050>_;
15Lest <3363> any <5100> should say <2036> (5632) that <3754> I had baptized <907> (5656) in <1519> mine own <1699> name <3686>_.
16And <1161> I baptized <907> (5656) also <2532> the household <3624> of Stephanas <4734>_: besides <3063>_, I know <1492> (5758) not <3756> whether I baptized <907> (5656) any <1536> other <243>_.
17For <1063> Christ <5547> sent <649> (5656) me <3165> not <3756> to baptize <907> (5721)_, but <235> to preach the gospel <2097> (5733)_: not <3756> with <1722> wisdom <4678> of words <3056>_, lest <3363> the cross <4716> of Christ <5547> should be made of none effect <2758> (5686)_. {words: or, speech}
18For <1063> the preaching <3056> of the cross <4716> is <2076> (5748) to them <3303> that perish <622> (5730) foolishness <3472>_; but <1161> unto us <2254> which are saved <4982> (5746) it is <2076> (5748) the power <1411> of God <2316>_.
19For <1063> it is written <1125> (5769)_, I will destroy <622> (5692) the wisdom <4678> of the wise <4680>_, and <2532> will bring to nothing <114> (5692) the understanding <4907> of the prudent <4908>_.
20Where <4226> [is] the wise <4680>_? where <4226> [is] the scribe <1122>_? where <4226> [is] the disputer <4804> of this <5127> world <165>_? hath <3471> (0) not <3780> God <2316> made foolish <3471> (5656) the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <2889>_?
21For <1063> after <1894> that in <1722> the wisdom <4678> of God <2316> the world <2889> by <1223> wisdom <4678> knew <1097> (5627) not <3756> God <2316>_, it pleased <2106> (5656) God <2316> by <1223> the foolishness <3472> of preaching <2782> to save <4982> (5658) them that believe <4100> (5723)_.
22For <2532> <1894> the Jews <2453> require <154> (5719) a sign <4592>_, and <2532> the Greeks <1672> seek <2212> (5719) after wisdom <4678>_:
23But <1161> we <2249> preach <2784> (5719) Christ <5547> crucified <4717> (5772)_, unto the Jews <2453> a stumblingblock <3303> <4625>_, and <1161> unto the Greeks <1672> foolishness <3472>_;
24But <1161> unto them <846> which <3588> are called <2822>_, both <5037> Jews <2453> and <2532> Greeks <1672>_, Christ <5547> the power <1411> of God <2316>_, and <2532> the wisdom <4678> of God <2316>_.
25Because <3754> the foolishness <3474> of God <2316> is <2076> (5748) wiser than <4680> men <444>_; and <2532> the weakness <772> of God <2316> is <2076> (5748) stronger than <2478> men <444>_.
26For <1063> ye see <991> (5719) your <5216> calling <2821>_, brethren <80>_, how that <3754> not <3756> many <4183> wise men <4680> after <2596> the flesh <4561>_, not <3756> many <4183> mighty <1415>_, not <3756> many <4183> noble <2104>_, [are called]:
27But <235> God <2316> hath chosen <1586> (5668) the foolish things <3474> of the world <2889> to <2443> confound <2617> (5725) the wise <4680>_; and <2532> God <2316> hath chosen <1586> (5668) the weak things <772> of the world <2889> to <2443> confound <2617> (5725) the things which are mighty <2478>_;
28And <2532> base things <36> of the world <2889>_, and <2532> things which are despised <1848> (5772)_, hath <1586> (0) God <2316> chosen <1586> (5668)_, [yea], and <2532> things which <3588> are <5607> (5752) not <3361>_, to <2443> bring to nought <2673> (5661) things that are <5607> (5752)_:
29That <3704> no <3361> <3956> flesh <4561> should glory <2744> (5667) in his presence <1799> <846>_.
30But <1161> of <1537> him <846> are <2075> (5748) ye <5210> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>_, who <3739> of <575> God <2316> is made <1096> (5675) unto us <2254> <5037> wisdom <4678>_, and righteousness <1343>_, and <2532> sanctification <38>_, and <2532> redemption <629>_:
31That <2443>_, according as <2531> it is written <1125> (5769)_, He that glorieth <2744> (5740)_, let him glory <2744> (5737) in <1722> the Lord <2962>_.
