1 Corinthians 1

1PaulG3972, calledG2822 to be an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 throughG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 SosthenesG4988 our brotherG3588G80, 2Unto the AssemblyG3588G1577 of GodG3588G2316 which isG1510 atG1722 CorinthG2882, to them that are sanctifiedG37 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, calledG2822 to be saintsG40, withG4862 allG3956 that inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117 call uponG1941 the nameG3588G3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962, bothG5037 theirsG846 andG2532 oursG1473: 3GraceG5485 be unto youG4771, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG1473 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

4I thankG2168 myG1473 GodG3588G2316 alwaysG3842 onG4012 yourG4771 behalfG4012, forG1909 the graceG3588G5485 of GodG3588G2316 which isG3588 givenG1325 youG4771 byG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; 5ThatG3754 inG1722 every thingG3956 ye are enrichedG4148 byG1722 himG846, inG1722 allG3956 utteranceG3056, andG2532 in allG3956 knowledgeG1108; 6Even asG2531 the testimonyG3588G3142 of ChristG3588G5547 was confirmedG950 inG1722 youG4771: 7So thatG5620 yeG4771 come behindG5302 inG1722 noG3367 giftG5486; waiting forG553 the comingG3588G602 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 8Who shallG3739 alsoG2532 confirmG950 youG4771 untoG2193 the endG5056, that ye may be blamelessG410 inG1722 the dayG3588G2250 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 9GodG3588G2316 is faithfulG4103, byG1223 whomG3739 ye were calledG2564 untoG1519 the fellowshipG2842 of hisG846 SonG3588G5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962. 10NowG1161 I beseechG3870 youG4771, brethrenG80, byG1223 the nameG3588G3686 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 yeG3004 allG3956 speakG3004 the same thingG846, andG2532 that there beG1510 noG3361 divisionsG4978 amongG1722 youG4771; butG1161 that ye beG1510 perfectly joined togetherG2675 inG1722 the sameG846 mindG3563 andG2532 inG1722 the sameG846 judgmentG1106.

11ForG1063 it hath been declaredG1213 unto meG1473 ofG4012 youG4771, myG1473 brethrenG80, byG5259 themG3588 which are of the house of ChloeG5514, thatG3754 there areG1510 contentionsG2054 amongG1722 youG4771. 12NowG1161 thisG3778 I sayG3004, thatG3754 every oneG1538 of youG4771 saithG3004, IG1473 amG1510 of PaulG3972; andG1161 IG1473 of ApollosG625; andG1161 IG1473 of CephasG2786; andG1161 IG1473 of ChristG5547. 13IsG3307 ChristG3588G5547 dividedG3307? wasG4717 PaulG3972 crucifiedG4717 forG5228 youG4771? orG2228 were ye baptizedG907 inG1519 the nameG3588G3686 of PaulG3972? 14I thankG2168 GodG3588G2316 thatG3754 I baptizedG907 noneG3762 of youG4771, butG1487 CrispusG2921 andG2532 GaiusG1050; 15LestG2443 anyG5100 should sayG3004 thatG3754 I had baptizedG907 inG1519 mine ownG1699 nameG3686. 16AndG1161 I baptizedG907 alsoG2532 the householdG3624 of StephanasG4734: besidesG3063, I knowG1492 notG3756 whetherG1487 I baptizedG907 anyG5100 otherG243.

17ForG1063 ChristG5547 sentG649 meG1473 notG3756 to baptizeG907, butG235 to preach the gospelG2097: notG3756 withG1722 wisdomG4678 of wordsG3056, lestG2443 the crossG3588G4716 of ChristG3588G5547 should be made of none effectG2758. 18ForG1063 the preachingG3588G3056 of the crossG3588G4716 isG1510 to themG3588 that perishG622 foolishnessG3472; butG1161 unto usG1473 which are savedG4982 it isG1510 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. 19ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, I will destroyG622 the wisdomG3588G4678 of the wiseG4680, andG2532 will bring to nothingG114 the understandingG3588G4907 of the prudentG4908. 20WhereG4226 is the wiseG4680? whereG4226 is the scribeG1122? whereG4226 is the disputerG4804 of thisG3778 worldG3588G165? hath notG3780 GodG3588G2316 made foolishG3471 the wisdomG3588G4678 of thisG3778 worldG3588G2889? 21ForG1063 after thatG1894 inG1722 the wisdomG3588G4678 of GodG3588G2316 the worldG3588G2889 byG1223 wisdomG3588G4678 knewG1097 notG3756 GodG3588G2316, it pleasedG2106 GodG3588G2316 byG1223 the foolishnessG3588G3472 of preachingG3588G2782 to saveG4982 themG3588 that believeG4100. 22ForG1894 the JewsG2453 requireG154 a signG4592, andG2532 the GreeksG1672 seekG2212 after wisdomG4678: 23ButG1161 weG1473 preachG2784 ChristG5547 crucifiedG4717, unto the JewsG2453 a stumblingblockG4625, andG1161 unto the GreeksG1672 foolishnessG3472; 24ButG1161 unto themG846 whichG3588 are calledG2822, bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 GreeksG1672, ChristG5547 the powerG1411 of GodG2316, andG2532 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316. 25BecauseG3754 the foolishnessG3474 of GodG3588G2316 isG1510 wiserG4680 than menG3588G444; andG2532 the weaknessG772 of GodG3588G2316 isG1510 strongerG2478 than menG3588G444.

26ForG1063 ye seeG991 yourG4771 callingG3588G2821, brethrenG80, how thatG3754 notG3756 manyG4183 wise menG4680 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, notG3756 manyG4183 mightyG1415, notG3756 manyG4183 nobleG2104, are called: 27ButG235 GodG3588G2316 hath chosenG1586 the foolish thingsG3474 of the worldG3588G2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the wiseG4680; andG2532 GodG3588G2316 hath chosenG1586 the weak thingsG772 of the worldG3588G2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the thingsG3588 which are mightyG2478; 28AndG2532 base thingsG36 of the worldG3588G2889, andG2532 thingsG3588 which are despisedG1848, hathG1586 GodG3588G2316 chosenG1586, yea, andG2532 thingsG3588 which areG1510 notG3361, toG2443 bring to noughtG2673 thingsG3588 that areG1510: 29ThatG3704 noG3956 fleshG4561 should gloryG2744 inG1799 hisG846 presenceG1799.

30ButG1161 ofG1537 himG846 areG1510 yeG4771 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3739 ofG575 GodG2316 is madeG1096 unto usG1473 wisdomG4678, andG5037 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 sanctificationG38, andG2532 redemptionG629: 31ThatG2443, according asG2531 it is writtenG1125, HeG3588 that gloriethG2744, let him gloryG2744 inG1722 the LordG2962.
