Paul, called [to be] an apostle of  Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother, |
| 1:2 |
Unto the  church (The Church of England Today) of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus (The Church of England Today), called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of  Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: |
| 1:3 |
Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord  Jesus (If You Are Prepared Ye Shall Not Fear) Christ. |
| 1:4 |
I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus (Seeking ways to be church in a changing culture) Christ; |
| 1:5 |
That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge; |
| 1:6 |
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: |
| 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, measured by Timex of our Lord  Jesus Christ. |
| 1:9 |
God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son  Jesus (What Would Jesus Do?) 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 Award Winning Quality] 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, even as Software Powers the Internet 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 (Switch and Save!) them that believe. |
| 1:22 |
For the Jews require a  sign (Internet Trust Services), 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 (Experience it for Yourself) 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 (An e-business Solution) in his presence. |
| 1:30 |
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus (Seeking ways to be church in a changing culture), 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 (An e-business Solution) in the Lord. |
