1 Corinthians 1:9-18

9 1GodG2316 is faithfulG4103, throughG1223 whomG3739 you were 2calledG2564 into 3fellowshipG2842 with His SonG5207, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our LordG2962.

10NowG1161 4I exhortG3870 you, 5brethrenG80, by the nameG3686 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, that you allG3956 6agreeG846 G3004 and that there be noG3361 7 8divisionsG4978 amongG1722 you, but that you be 9madeG2675 completeG2675 in 10the sameG846 mindG3563 and in the sameG846 judgmentG1106. 11For I have been informedG1213 concerningG4012 you, my brethrenG80, by Chloe’sG5514 people, that there are quarrelsG2054 amongG1722 you. 12NowG1161 I meanG3004 thisG3778, that 11eachG1538 oneG1538 of you is sayingG3004, “I amG1510 of PaulG3972,” and “I of 12ApollosG625,” and “I of 13CephasG2786,” and “I of ChristG5547.” 13 14Has ChristG5547 been dividedG3307? PaulG3972 was not crucifiedG4717 for you, was he? OrG2228 were you 15baptizedG907 16in the nameG3686 of PaulG3972? 14 17I thankG2168 GodG2316 that I 18baptizedG907 noneG3762 of you exceptG1508 19CrispusG2921 and 20GaiusG1050, 15soG2443 that noG3361 oneG5100 would sayG3004 you were baptizedG907 21in my nameG3686. 16NowG1161 I did baptizeG907 alsoG2532 the 22householdG3624 of StephanasG4734; beyondG3062 that, I do not knowG3609 whetherG1487 I baptizedG907 anyG5100 otherG243. 17 23For ChristG5547 did not sendG649 me to baptizeG907, but to preachG2097 the gospelG2097, 24not in 25clevernessG4678 of speechG3056, soG2443 that the crossG4716 of ChristG5547 would not be madeG2758 voidG2758.

18For the wordG3056 of the crossG4716 is 26foolishnessG3472 to 27thoseG3588 who 28are perishingG622, but to us who 29are being savedG4982 it is 30the powerG1411 of GodG2316.
