1 Corinthians 1:16-28

16AndG2532 IG2532 baptizedG907 alsoG2532 theG3588 householdG3624 ofG3624 StephanasG4734: besides, IG2532 knowG1492 notG3756 whetherG1487 IG2532 baptizedG907 anyG5100 otherG243.

17ForG1063 ChristG5547 sentG649 meG1473 notG3756 toG2443 baptizeG907, butG235 toG2443 preachG2097 theG3588 gospelG2097: notG3756 inG1722 wisdomG4678 ofG3056 wordsG3056, lestG3361 theG3588 crossG4716 ofG3056 ChristG5547 shouldG2443 beG5547 madeG2758 voidG2758.

18ForG1063 theG3588 wordG3056 ofG3056 theG3588 crossG4716 isG1510 toG2316 themG622 thatG2316 areG1510 perishingG622 foolishnessG3472; butG1161 unto us whichG3588 areG1510 beingG1510 savedG4982 itG1161 isG1510 theG3588 powerG1411 ofG3056 GodG2316.

19ForG1063 itG2532 is writtenG1125, IG2532 willG2532 destroyG622 theG3588 wisdomG4678 ofG4678 theG3588 wiseG4680, AndG2532 theG3588 prudence ofG4678 theG3588 prudent willG2532 IG2532 rejectG114.

20WhereG4226 is theG3588 wiseG4680? whereG4226 is theG3588 scribeG1122? whereG4226 is theG3588 disputer ofG2316 thisG3778 worldG2889? hath notG3780 GodG2316 madeG3471 foolishG3471 theG3588 wisdomG4678 ofG2316 theG3588 worldG2889?

21ForG1063 seeing thatG1097 inG1722 theG3588 wisdomG4678 ofG1223 GodG2316 theG3588 worldG2889 throughG1223 itsG1223 wisdomG4678 knewG1097 notG3756 GodG2316, itG1223 was God’sG2316 goodG2106 pleasureG2106 throughG1223 theG3588 foolishnessG3472 ofG1223 theG3588 preachingG2782 toG1722 saveG4982 themG1722 thatG1097 believeG4100.

22Seeing thatG4592 JewsG2453 askG154 forG2212 signsG4592, andG2532 GreeksG1672 seekG2212 afterG2532 wisdomG4678:

23butG1161 weG2249 preachG2784 ChristG5547 crucifiedG4717, unto JewsG2453 a stumblingblock, andG1161 unto GentilesG1484 foolishnessG3472;

24butG1161 unto themG846 thatG846 are calledG2822, bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 GreeksG1672, ChristG5547 theG3588 powerG1411 ofG2316 GodG2316, andG2532 theG3588 wisdomG4678 ofG2316 GodG2316.

25BecauseG3754 theG3588 foolishnessG3474 ofG2316 GodG2316 isG1510 wiserG4680 thanG2532 menG444; andG2532 theG3588 weaknessG772 ofG2316 GodG2316 isG1510 strongerG2478 thanG2532 menG444.

26ForG1063 behold yourG3588 callingG2821, brethrenG80, howG3754 thatG3754 notG3756 manyG4183 wiseG4680 afterG2596 theG3588 fleshG4561, notG3756 manyG4183 mightyG1415, notG3756 manyG4183 noble, are called:

27butG235 GodG2316 choseG1586 theG3588 foolishG3474 thingsG3588 ofG2316 theG3588 worldG2889, thatG2443 heG2532 mightG2532 put toG2443 shameG2617 themG2443 thatG2443 are wiseG4680; andG2532 GodG2316 choseG1586 theG3588 weakG772 thingsG3588 ofG2316 theG3588 worldG2889, thatG2443 heG2532 mightG2532 put toG2443 shameG2617 theG3588 thingsG3588 thatG2443 are strongG2478;

28andG2532 theG3588 baseG36 thingsG3588 ofG2316 theG3588 worldG2889, andG2532 theG3588 thingsG3588 thatG2443 areG1510 despisedG1848, didG1510 GodG2316 chooseG1586, yea andG2532 theG3588 thingsG3588 thatG2443 areG1510 notG3361, thatG2443 heG2532 mightG2532 bringG2673 toG2443 nought theG3588 thingsG3588 thatG2443 areG1510:
