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 urgeG3870 you, 5brothersG80 and sisters, 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 brothersG80 and sisters, by Chloe’sG5514 people, that there are quarrelsG2054 amongG1722 you. 12NowG1161 I meanG3004 thisG3778, that 11eachG1538 oneG1538 of you is sayingG3004, “I amG1510 12with PaulG3972,” 13or “I am 14with 15ApollosG625,” 16or “I am 17with 18 19CephasG2786,” 20or “I am 21with ChristG5547.” 13 22Has ChristG5547 been dividedG3307? PaulG3972 was not crucifiedG4717 for you, was he? OrG2228 were you 23baptizedG907 24in the nameG3686 of PaulG3972? 14I amG2168 thankfulG2168 that I 25baptizedG907 noneG3762 of you exceptG1508 26CrispusG2921 and 27GaiusG1050, 15soG2443 thatG2443 noG3361 oneG5100 would sayG3004 you were baptizedG907 28in my nameG3686! 16But I did baptizeG907 the 29householdG3624 of StephanasG4734 alsoG2532; beyondG3062 thatG3062, I do not knowG3609 ifG1487 I baptizedG907 anyoneG5100 elseG243. 17 30For ChristG5547 did not sendG649 me to baptizeG907, but to preachG2097 the gospelG2097, 31not with 32clevernessG4678 of speechG3056, soG2443 thatG2443 the crossG4716 of ChristG5547 would not be madeG2758 ofG2758 noG2758 effectG2758.

18For the wordG3056 of the crossG4716 is 33foolishnessG3472 to 34thoseG3588 who 35are perishingG622, but to us who 36are being savedG4982 it is 37the powerG1411 of GodG2316.
