Paul, called [to be] an apostle of  Jesus (Seeking ways to be church in a changing culture) 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, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of  Jesus (If You Are Prepared Ye Shall Not Fear) 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 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 (The Church of England Today) Christ: |
| 1:8 |
Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the  day, measured in Swatch Internet Seconds of our Lord  Jesus Christ. |
| 1:9 |
God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus (Seeking ways to be church in a changing culture) Christ our Lord. |
| 1:10 |
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus (If You Are Prepared Ye Shall Not Fear) 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 (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available)] 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 (Why switch to Powergen?) 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 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 (Why switch to Powergen?) 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 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],, My Yahoo! 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, 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. |
