1 Paul|strong="G3972", called|strong="G2822" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" an|strong="G2532" apostle of|strong="G1223" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" by|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2307" of|strong="G1223" God|strong="G2316", and|strong="G2532" Sosthenes|strong="G4988" our|strong="G2316" brother,

3 Grace|strong="G5485" to|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" and|strong="G2532" peace|strong="G1515" from|strong="G1515" God|strong="G2316" our|strong="G2316" Father|strong="G3962" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547".
4 I|strong="G1473" always|strong="G3842" give|strong="G1325" thanks|strong="G2168" to|strong="G1909" my|strong="G1722" God|strong="G2316" for|strong="G4012" you|strong="G5210" because|strong="G1909" of|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1722" grace|strong="G5485" of|strong="G4012" God|strong="G2316" that|strong="G3588" has|strong="G2316" been|strong="G1325" given|strong="G1325" to|strong="G1909" you|strong="G5210" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424".
5 For|strong="G3754" you|strong="G3754" have|strong="G2532" been|strong="G2532" enriched|strong="G4148" in|strong="G1722" him|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" every|strong="G3956" way|strong="G1722", in|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3956" speech|strong="G3056" and|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" knowledge|strong="G1108",
6 just|strong="G2531" as|strong="G2531" the|strong="G1722" testimony|strong="G3142" of|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" was|strong="G3588" confirmed among|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210",
7 so|strong="G5620" that|strong="G3588" you|strong="G5210" are|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3361" lacking|strong="G5302" in|strong="G1722" any|strong="G3367" gift|strong="G5486" as|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210" eagerly await the|strong="G1722" revelation of|strong="G2962" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547".
8 He|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" strengthen you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" end|strong="G5056", so|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3739" you|strong="G5210" will|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" blameless on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" day|strong="G2250" of|strong="G2250" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547".
9 God|strong="G2316" is|strong="G3588" faithful|strong="G4103", by|strong="G1223" whom|strong="G3739" you|strong="G3739" were|strong="G3588" called|strong="G2564" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" fellowship|strong="G2842" of|strong="G5207" his|strong="G1223" Son|strong="G5207", Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" our|strong="G2316" Lord|strong="G2962".
10 Now|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1473" urge|strong="G3870" you|strong="G5210", brothers, in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" name|strong="G3686" of|strong="G1223" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", that|strong="G2443" you|strong="G5210" all|strong="G3956" agree|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" what|strong="G3588" you|strong="G5210" say|strong="G3004" and|strong="G2532" that|strong="G2443" there|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" no|strong="G3361" divisions|strong="G4978" among|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210", but|strong="G1161" that|strong="G2443" you|strong="G5210" be|strong="G1510" knit|strong="G2532" together|strong="G2675" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" same|strong="G2532" mind|strong="G3563" and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" same|strong="G2532" purpose|strong="G1106".
11 For|strong="G1063" it|strong="G3754" has|strong="G3748" been|strong="G1510" disclosed to|strong="G1722" me|strong="G1473" about|strong="G4012" you|strong="G5210", my|strong="G1722" brothers, by|strong="G1722" those|strong="G3588" of|strong="G4012" Chloe|strong="G5514"'s household, that|strong="G3754" there|strong="G1063" are|strong="G1510" quarrels|strong="G2054" among|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210".
12 What|strong="G1538" I|strong="G1473" mean|strong="G3004" is|strong="G1510" this|strong="G3778": One|strong="G1538" of|strong="G1538" you|strong="G5210" says|strong="G3004", “I|strong="G1473" follow|strong="G1161" Paul|strong="G3972",” while|strong="G1161" another|strong="G1161" says|strong="G3004", “I|strong="G1473" follow|strong="G1161" Apollos,” or|strong="G1161", “I|strong="G1473" follow|strong="G1161" Cephas|strong="G2786",” or|strong="G1161", “I|strong="G1473" follow|strong="G1161" Christ|strong="G5547".”
13 Has|strong="G5547" Christ|strong="G5547" been|strong="G3361" divided|strong="G3307"? Was|strong="G3588" Paul|strong="G3972" crucified|strong="G4717" for|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5210", or|strong="G2228" were|strong="G3588" you|strong="G5210" baptized into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" name|strong="G3686" of|strong="G3686" Paul|strong="G3972"?
14 I|strong="G2532" give|strong="G2168" thanks|strong="G2168" to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" I|strong="G2532" baptized none|strong="G3762" of|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210", except|strong="G1487" Crispus|strong="G2921" and|strong="G2532" Gaius|strong="G1050",
15 so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G3754" no|strong="G3361" one|strong="G5100" may|strong="G2443" say|strong="G3004" that|strong="G3754" I|strong="G3754" baptized into|strong="G1519" my|strong="G1699" own|strong="G1699" name|strong="G3686".
16 (I|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" baptized the|strong="G2532" household|strong="G3624" of|strong="G2532" Stephanas|strong="G4734". Beyond that|strong="G3588", I|strong="G2532" do|strong="G1492" not|strong="G3756" recall if|strong="G1487" I|strong="G2532" baptized anyone|strong="G5100" else|strong="G2532".)
17 For|strong="G1063" Christ|strong="G5547" did|strong="G3361" not|strong="G3756" send me|strong="G1473" to|strong="G2443" baptize, but|strong="G3361" to|strong="G2443" preach|strong="G2097" the|strong="G1722" gospel|strong="G2097", and|strong="G3056" not|strong="G3756" with|strong="G1722" cleverness|strong="G4678" of|strong="G3056" speech|strong="G3056", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" the|strong="G1722" cross|strong="G4716" of|strong="G3056" Christ|strong="G5547" would|strong="G5547" not|strong="G3756" be|strong="G3756" deprived of|strong="G3056" its power.
18 For|strong="G1063" the|strong="G1161" message|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" the|strong="G1161" cross|strong="G4716" is|strong="G1510" foolishness|strong="G3472" to|strong="G1161" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G1510" perishing, but|strong="G1161" to|strong="G1161" us|strong="G2249" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G1510" being|strong="G1510" saved|strong="G4982" it|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1161" power|strong="G1411" of|strong="G3056" God|strong="G2316".
19 For|strong="G1063" it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" written|strong="G1125",
20 Where|strong="G4226" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" wise|strong="G4680" man|strong="G3778"? Where|strong="G4226" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" scribe|strong="G1122"? Where|strong="G4226" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" debater|strong="G4804" of|strong="G2316" this|strong="G3778" age|strong="G2889"? Has|strong="G2316" not|strong="G3780" God|strong="G2316" made|strong="G2316" the|strong="G3588" wisdom|strong="G4678" of|strong="G2316" this|strong="G3778" world|strong="G2889" foolish|strong="G3471"?
21 For|strong="G1063" since|strong="G1894", in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" wisdom|strong="G4678" of|strong="G1223" God|strong="G2316", the|strong="G1722" world|strong="G2889" through|strong="G1223" its|strong="G1223" wisdom|strong="G4678" did|strong="G1097" not|strong="G3756" know|strong="G1097" God|strong="G2316", it|strong="G1063" pleased|strong="G2106" God|strong="G2316" through|strong="G1223" the|strong="G1722" foolishness|strong="G3472" of|strong="G1223" our|strong="G2316" proclamation|strong="G2782" to|strong="G1722" save|strong="G4982" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" believe|strong="G4100".
22 For|strong="G2212" Jews|strong="G2453" ask for|strong="G2212" a|strong="G2532" sign|strong="G4592" and|strong="G2532" Greeks|strong="G1672" seek|strong="G2212" wisdom|strong="G4678",
23 but|strong="G1161" we|strong="G2249" preach|strong="G2784" Christ|strong="G5547" crucified|strong="G4717", a|strong="G1161" stumbling|strong="G4625" block|strong="G4625" to|strong="G1161" Jews|strong="G2453" and|strong="G1161" foolishness|strong="G3472" to|strong="G1161" Greeks,
24 but|strong="G1161" to|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3588" called|strong="G2822", both|strong="G2532" Jews|strong="G2453" and|strong="G2532" Greeks|strong="G1672", Christ|strong="G5547" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" power|strong="G1411" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" wisdom|strong="G4678" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316".
25 For|strong="G3754" the|strong="G2532" foolishness|strong="G3474" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" is|strong="G1510" wiser|strong="G4680" than|strong="G2478" men|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" weakness of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" is|strong="G1510" stronger|strong="G2478" than|strong="G2478" men|strong="G3588".
26 Consider your|strong="G3588" calling|strong="G2821", brothers, that|strong="G3754" not|strong="G3756" many|strong="G4183" of|strong="G2596" you|strong="G5210" were|strong="G3588" wise|strong="G4680" according|strong="G2596" to|strong="G2596" the|strong="G2596" flesh|strong="G4561", not|strong="G3756" many|strong="G4183" were|strong="G3588" powerful|strong="G1415", not|strong="G3756" many|strong="G4183" were|strong="G3588" of|strong="G2596" noble|strong="G2104" birth.
27 But|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316" chose|strong="G1586" the|strong="G2532" foolish|strong="G3474" things|strong="G3588" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G2532" world|strong="G2889" to|strong="G2443" shame|strong="G2617" the|strong="G2532" wise|strong="G4680", and|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316" chose|strong="G1586" the|strong="G2532" weak things|strong="G3588" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G2532" world|strong="G2889" to|strong="G2443" shame|strong="G2617" the|strong="G2532" strong|strong="G2478".
28 God|strong="G2316" chose|strong="G1586" what|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" lowly and|strong="G2532" despised|strong="G1848" in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" world|strong="G2889", things|strong="G3588" that|strong="G2443" are|strong="G1510" regarded as|strong="G2532" nothing|strong="G3361", to|strong="G2443" nullify|strong="G2673" the|strong="G2532" things|strong="G3588" that|strong="G2443" are|strong="G1510" regarded as|strong="G2532" something|strong="G1510",
29 so|strong="G3704" that|strong="G3588" no|strong="G3361" flesh|strong="G4561" might|strong="G2316" boast|strong="G2744" before|strong="G1799" God|strong="G2316".
30 It|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" because|strong="G1537" of|strong="G1537" him|strong="G3739" that|strong="G3739" you|strong="G5210" are|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424", who|strong="G3739" has|strong="G2316" become|strong="G1096" for|strong="G1161" us|strong="G2249" wisdom|strong="G4678" from|strong="G1537" God|strong="G2316", and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" whom|strong="G3739" we|strong="G2249" have|strong="G2532" righteousness|strong="G1343", sanctification, and|strong="G2532" redemption.
31 Therefore, as|strong="G2531" it|strong="G2531" is|strong="G3588" written|strong="G1125", “Let|strong="G2443" him|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" boasts|strong="G2744", boast|strong="G2744" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962".”
