{\ADD{

appointed
me
to
be
an apostle

desired.

You

been
set
apart
{\ADD{
by
God}} $\{${\ADD{
God}}
has
set
you
apart$\}$
for
himself
because ◄of
your
close relationship
with/you

God
has
appointed
you
to
be
his

and
to
live
in
a

he
has
appointed
all

to
him
to

in
a

You

very

thank
God
for
you
because
he
has
acted
toward
you
kindly,
acting
in
ways
that
you
do
not
deserve.
He
has
done
this
because
of
your ◄having
a
close relationship
with/being
united

Christ

\VS{5}That
is,
{\ADD{
God}}
has [HYP]
helped
you spiritually
very
much
because
of
your ◄having
a
close relationship
with/being

to► Christ.
Specifically,
God
has
very
much [HYP]
enabled
you
to
speak
messages
{\ADD{
that

revealed
to

and
he
has
very

enabled
you
to
know
many
things [HYP]
that
his
Spirit
revealed
to
you.
\VS{6}In
that

{\ADD{
he}}
confirmed
to
you
that
what

proclaimed
about

is
true.
\VS{7}As
a

to
return,
within

you
truly
have [LIT]
every
ability
that
{\ADD{

gives
{\ADD{

\VS{8}God
will
also
cause
you
to steadfastly
{\ADD{
trust
Christ
to
the
very
end
of
your

The
result
will
be
that
God
will
not
consider
you
guilty
{\ADD{
of
any
sin}}
when
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
returns
to
earth [MTY].
\VS{9}You
can
depend
on

\par }{\PP \VS{10}My
fellow believers,
by
the
authority
of [MTY]
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
I
urgently
appeal
to
all
of
you
to
agree
with
one
another.
What
I
mean
is,
stop
dividing
into
groups.
Instead,
be
united [MET]
concerning
what
you
understand
{\ADD{
about
spiritual
matters}},,
and
be
united
in
what
you
decide.
\VS{11}My
fellow believers,
{\ADD{
I
urge
this}}
because
some
members
of
Chloe’s
household
have
told
me
that
you
are
quarreling
among
yourselves.
\VS{12}That
is,
some
of
you
say, “Paul
is
the
one
to
whom
we
{\ADD{
are
loyal}},”
and
others
say, “Peter
is
the
one
to
whom
we
{\ADD{
are
loyal}},”
and
still
others
say, “Christ
is
the
one
to
whom
we
{\ADD{
are
loyal}}.”
\VS{13}{\ADD{
It
is ridiculous
that}} [RHQ]
{\ADD{
you
are
quarreling
and}}
dividing
up
{\ADD{
into
groups
instead
of
being
loyal
to}}
Christ
alone.
Christ
certainly
has
not
divided
himself
into
parts
and
distributed
those
parts
out
{\ADD{
to
groups
of
people
who
oppose
each
other}}! [MET, RHQ]
I,
Paul,
certainly
did
not
die
on
the
cross
for
you! [RHQ]
When
you
were baptized $\{$When
someone baptized
you$\}$,
you
certainly
did
not
promise
that
you
were submitting
to
me! [RHQ]
\VS{14}I
thank
{\ADD{
God}}
that
Crispus
and
Gaius
were
the
only
ones
from
among
you
whom
I baptized.
\VS{15}As
a
result,
no
one
{\ADD{
there
in Corinth
except
those
two}}
can
say, “Paul baptized
me
so
that
I
would
become ◄his
disciple/submissive
to
him►.”
\VS{16}{\ADD{
Now
I
remember
that}}
I
also baptized
the
household
of
Stephanas,
but
I
do
not
remember baptizing
anyone
else
{\ADD{
there}}.
\VS{17}Christ
sent
me
not
{\ADD{primarily}}
to baptize
people
but
to
preach
the
good
message
about
him.
When
I
do
that,
he
does
not
want
me
to
use
words
that
human philosophers
{\ADD{

the

about
{\ADD{
what}}
he
{\ADD{
accomplished
when

was nailed
to}}
the
cross [MTY]
to
lose
its
power.

about

\par }{\SR 1 Corinthians 1:20-25

know
{\ADD{
what
God
thinks}}
about
what [RHQ]
people
who [IRO]
consider
themselves
to
be
wise
and scholars
and philosophers
say?
{\ADD{
He
does
not
pay
attention

he
has
shown
clearly
that
what unbelievers
{\ADD{
think
is}} [IRO]
wise
is
{\ADD{
not
wise
at
all}},
but
is
really
foolish.
\VS{21}God,
acting
very
wisely,
made
it
impossible
for unbelievers
to
know
God
by
doing
what
they
thought
was [IRO]
wise.
Instead,
he
was
happy
to
save
those
who
trust
{\ADD{
in Christ}}
as
the
result
of
their
hearing
{\ADD{
the
message
that}}
was
proclaimed
to
them,
a

that

consider
to
be
foolish.
\VS{22}The
Jews
want
{\ADD{
people
to

miracles,
{\ADD{
that
their

is
true}}.
The non-Jews
want
to
hear
only
messages consisting
of
talk
that
they
consider
to
be
very
wise.
\VS{23}As
for
us,
we
proclaim
{\ADD{
the
message
about
what}}
Christ
{\ADD{
accomplished
for
us
when}}
he
was nailed $\{${\ADD{
when
they}} nailed
him$\}$
to
the
cross.
That
message offends
Jews
{\ADD{
because
they
do
not
think
that
the
Messiah
will
die,
and}} non-Jews
think
it
is [IRO]
a
foolish
message.
\VS{24}But
to
us
whom
God
has
chosen
to
belong
to
himself,
both
Jews
and non-Jews,
that
message
shows
that
God
acted powerfully
and
wisely
{\ADD{
by
sending}}
Christ
{\ADD{
to
die}}
for
us.
\VS{25}{\ADD{Unbelievers
may
think}} [IRO]
{\ADD{
that}}
God
was
{\ADD{
acting}}
foolishly
{\ADD{
by
doing
that}},
but
{\ADD{
the
truth
is
that}}
he
was
acting
more
wisely
than unbelievers
who
{\ADD{
just
think
that}} [IRO]
they
are
wise.
And unbelievers
may
think
that
God
was
{\ADD{
acting}} weakly
{\ADD{
by
sending
his

to

more powerfully
than unbelievers

of
me,
nor
did
I
argue
in
a
way
that unbelievers
would

very
wise.
\VS{2}I
did
that
because
I
decided
that
I
would
speak
only
about
Jesus

I
told

{\ADD{
what

for

was
killed
by

\VS{8}{\ADD{

{\ADD{

was ◄all
for

\par }{\PP \VS{3}The
most
important
part
of
the
message
that
I
received
{\ADD{
from
the
Lord
Jesus}},
and
that
I
told
you,
was
this:
Christ
died
to
{\ADD{
take
away
the
guilt}}
of
our
sins,
as
the
Scriptures
{\ADD{
said
that
he
would
do}}.

body}}
was
buried $\{$They

his
{\ADD{

the
third
day
{\ADD{
after
that}},
{\ADD{
God}}
caused
him
to
become
alive
again,
as
the
Scriptures
{\ADD{
said
would
happen}}.
\VS{5}After
that,
{\ADD{Christ}}
was
seen
by $\{$appeared

Peter.
Then
he
appeared
to
{\ADD{
eleven
of}}
the
{\ADD{original}}
twelve
{\ADD{apostles}}.
\VS{6}Later
he
was
seen
by $\{$appeared

more
than 500
of
our
fellow believers.
Most
of
those
are
still
living,
but
some

them
have
died [EUP].
\VS{7}Then
he
was
seen
by $\{$appeared
{\ADD{

{\ADD{
his
younger
brother}}
James,
{\ADD{
who
became
the
leader
of
the

Then
he
appeared
to
all
of
the apostles.
\VS{8}Finally,
he
was
seen
by $\{$appeared

me,
but
I
became
an apostle
in

was
very
unusual [MET].
\VS{9}The
fact
is,
I
{\ADD{
consider
that
I}}
am
the
least
important
of
the apostles.
I
do
not
deserve
to
be
an apostle,
because
I ◄persecuted
God’s
groups
of believers/caused
God’s
groups

to
suffer►
{\ADD{
everywhere
I
went}}.
\VS{10}But
it
is
because
God
acted
kindly
toward
me
in
ways
that
I
did
not
deserve
that
I
became
what
I
am
now.
And
his
acting
kindly
toward
me
produced
a
great
result [LIT],
which
is
that
I
worked
harder
{\ADD{
for Christ}}
than
all
the
other apostles.
But
it
was
not
that
I
{\ADD{
was
working
with

ability}}.
Instead,
God
was
helping
me
in
a

I
did
not

{\ADD{affects

after Christ
