1Co 1 Corinthians, chapter First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 1
Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, Act 18:17; Rom 1:1to the Assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called holy ones, with all those calling on the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place—both theirs and ours: Jhn 17:19; Act 15:9; 1Th 4:7; 2Ti 2:19Grace to yöu and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! 1Pe 1:2I give thanks to my God always concerning yöu for the grace of God that was given to yöu in Christ Jesus, 2Th 1:3that in everything yöu were enriched in Him, in all discourse and all knowledge, Col 1:9according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in yöu, 1Co 2:2so that yöu are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Co 12:11; Php 3:20; Tit 2:13who also will confirm yöu to the end—unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ; 1Th 3:13faithful [is] God, through whom yöu were called into the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1Th 5:24And I call on yöu, brothers, through the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing yöu may all say, and there may not be divisions among yöu, and yöu may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment, Rom 15:5; Php 2:2for it was signified to me concerning yöu, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among yöu; and I say this, that each one of yöu says, “I, indeed, am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” Act 18:24Has the Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for yöu? Or were yöu immersed into the name of Paul? Eph 4:5I give thanks to God that I immersed no one of yöu, except Crispus and Gaius— Act 18:8that no one may say that to my own name I immersed; and I also immersed Stephanas’ household—further, I have not known if I immersed any other. For Christ did not send me to immerse, but to proclaim good news, not in wisdom of discourse, that the Cross of the Christ may not be made of no effect; 2Pe 1:16; 1Co 2:13for the word of the Cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us—those being saved—it is the power of God, Act 17:18; Rom 1:16for it has been written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nothing”; Isa 29:14where [is] the wise? Where the scribe? Where a disputer of this age? Did God not make foolish the wisdom of this world? Isa 33:18; Isa 44:25For seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing. Mat 11:25Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom, Mat 12:38; Mat 16:1also we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness, Isa 8:14; Act 17:18; Rom 9:32and to those called—both Jews and Greeks—Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God, Rom 1:16; Col 2:3because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men; for see yöur calling, brothers, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; Jhn 7:48; Jas 2:5but God chose the foolish things of the world that He may put the wise to shame; and God chose the weak things of the world that He may put the strong to shame; 2Co 10:5and God chose the base things of the world, and the things despised, and the things that are not, that He may make useless the things that are— that no flesh may glory before Him; Rom 3:27; Eph 2:9but out of Him yöu are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption, Jer 23:5; Jhn 17:19; 1Pe 1:18; Col 2:3that, according as it has been written: “He who is glorying—let him glory in the LORD.”Jer 9:24; 2Co 10:17
