1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, 2 to the church of God that is in Corinth, having been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all the ones in every place calling on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, theirs and ours. 3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I always give thanks to my God for you because of the grace of God, the one having been given to you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in everything you were made rich in him, in all word and all knowledge, 6 just as the testimony of Christ has been confirmed among you, 7 so that you do not lack in any gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you to the end, blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there might not be divisions among you, but that you might be joined together in the same mind and in the same purpose. 11 For it was made clear to me concerning you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are factions among you. 12 Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” 13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one might say that you were baptized into my name. 16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know if I baptized any others.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel—not with wise speech so that the cross of Christ would not be emptied.
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to the ones perishing, but to us, the ones being saved, it is the power of God. 19 For it is written,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and I will frustrate the understanding of the intelligent.”
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God turned the wisdom of the world into foolishness? 21 For since in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save the ones believing through the foolishness of the preaching. 22 For indeed, Jews ask for signs and Greeks seek wisdom. 23 But we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles. 24 But to them, the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise according to the flesh, not many were powerful, and not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world in order that he might shame the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world in order that he might shame the strong, 28 and God chose the base things and the despised things of the world, and the things that are not, in order that he might bring to nothing the things that are, 29 so that no flesh might boast before God. 30 But because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made for us wisdom from God, righteousness, and also sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, just as it is written, “Let the one boasting, boast in the Lord.”
