For the preaching of the cross is, to them that perish, foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.

I beseech you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all speak one thing and that there be no dissension among you: but be ye perfect in one mind, and one meaning.

And unto him pertain ye, in Christ Jesus, which of God is made unto us wisdom, and also righteousness, and sanctifying, and redemption.

Unto the congregation of God which is at Corinth. To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ, saints by calling, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both of theirs and of ours.

that in all things ye are made rich by him, in all learning and in all knowledge:

Paul, by vocation an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes.

even as the testimony of Jesus Christ was confirmed in you:

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 things which are mighty.

which shall strengthen you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For when the world, through wisdom, knew not God in the wisdom of God: it pleased God through foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

Brethren, look on your calling how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many of high degree are called:

It is showed unto me, my brethren, of you by them that are of the house of Chloe; that there is strife among you.

For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should have been made of none effect.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Either were ye baptised in the name of Paul?

And this is it that I mean: how that commonly among you, one sayeth, "I hold of Paul"; Another, "I hold of Apollos"; the third, "I hold of Cephas"; and the fourth that, "I hold of Christ."

I thank God that I baptised none of you, but Crispus and Gaius,

I baptised also the house of Stephanas. Furthermore know I not whether I baptised any man of you or no.

lest any should say that I in mine own name had baptised.

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom.

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent."

That according, as it is written, "He which rejoiceth, should rejoice in the Lord."

And vile things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things of no reputation, for to bring to nought things of reputation,

that no flesh should rejoice in his presence.

I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ,

But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews, an occasion of falling; and unto the Greeks, foolishness.

For God is faithful, by whom ye are called unto the fellowship of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.

But unto them which are called, both of Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness?

so that ye are behind in no gift, and wait for the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ

For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: And the weakness of God is stronger than are men.

Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
