1 Corinthians Chapter 1 / WEB

The Webster Bible
1 Corinthians, Chapter 1

   1: Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,
   2: To the church 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 Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.
   3: Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
   4: I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
   5: That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;
   6: Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
   7: So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
   8: Who will also confirm you to the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
   9: God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
   10: Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus 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.
   11: For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them [who are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
   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.
   13: Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
   14: I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
   15: Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.
   16: And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
   17: For Christ hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
   18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.
   19: For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
   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?
   21: For when 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.
   22: For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom:
   23: But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
   24: But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
   25: Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
   26: For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are called]:
   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;
   28: And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
   29: That no flesh should glory in his presence.
   30: But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
   31: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
