1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

stylus

Romans 1:1, Romans 1:1, Ephesians 1:1, Ephesians 1:1, 2 Corinthians 1:1

2to the church of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

stylus

Romans 1:7, Romans 1:7, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Corinthians 6:11, Acts 26:18

3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

stylus

Romans 1:7, Romans 1:7, 1 Peter 1:2, 2 Corinthians 1:2, Ephesians 1:2

4I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

stylus

Romans 1:8, Romans 1:8, John 14:26, John 14:26, Romans 6:17

5that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

stylus

2 Corinthians 9:11, 2 Corinthians 9:11, 2 Corinthians 8:7, 2 Corinthians 8:7, Colossians 2:3

6even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

stylus

Revelation 1:2, 2 Timothy 1:8, Revelation 1:2, 2 Timothy 1:8, 1 Timothy 2:6

7so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

stylus

Philippians 3:20, Philippians 3:20, Hebrews 9:28, 2 Peter 3:12, Hebrews 9:28

8who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

stylus

1 Thessalonians 5:23, 1 Thessalonians 5:24, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 1 Thessalonians 5:24, Colossians 1:22

9God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

stylus

2 Thessalonians 3:3, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, Hebrews 10:23, Hebrews 10:23, Deuteronomy 7:9

10Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

stylus

Philippians 2:1, Philippians 2:4, Philippians 2:1, Philippians 2:4, Ephesians 4:1

11For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

stylus

Galatians 5:26, 1 Timothy 6:4, 2 Timothy 2:23, 2 Timothy 2:25, 1 Corinthians 3:3

12Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."

stylus

1 Corinthians 3:21, 1 Corinthians 3:23, John 1:42, Matthew 23:9, Matthew 23:10

13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

stylus

Ephesians 4:5, Ephesians 4:5, 2 Corinthians 11:4, 2 Corinthians 11:4, Acts 2:38

14I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

stylus

Acts 18:8, Acts 18:8, Romans 16:23, Romans 16:23, 1 Thessalonians 5:18

15so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.

stylus

John 3:28, John 3:29, 2 Corinthians 11:2, John 7:18, John 3:28

16(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)

stylus

1 Corinthians 16:15, 1 Corinthians 16:15, 1 Corinthians 16:17, 1 Corinthians 16:17, Acts 16:33

17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News-not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

stylus

1 Corinthians 2:1, 1 Corinthians 2:1, 1 Corinthians 2:13, 1 Corinthians 2:13, 2 Peter 1:16

18For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

stylus

1 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Corinthians 2:14, Romans 1:16, Romans 1:16, 2 Thessalonians 2:10

19For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing."

stylus

Isaiah 29:14, Isaiah 29:14, Jeremiah 8:9, Jeremiah 8:9, 1 Corinthians 3:19

20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the Law scholar of this world? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

stylus

Romans 1:22, Romans 1:22, Job 12:17, Job 12:17, 1 Corinthians 1:19

21For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the proclaiming to save those who believe.

stylus

Luke 10:21, Luke 10:21, Matthew 11:25, Matthew 11:25, Romans 1:20

22For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

stylus

Matthew 16:1, Matthew 16:4, Matthew 16:1, Matthew 16:4, Acts 17:18

23but we proclaim Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Gentiles,

stylus

1 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Peter 2:8, 1 Peter 2:8, 1 Corinthians 2:2

24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

stylus

1 Corinthians 1:30, 1 Corinthians 1:30, Colossians 2:3, Colossians 2:3, 1 Corinthians 1:18

25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

stylus

Romans 11:33, Romans 11:36, Romans 11:33, Romans 11:36, 1 Corinthians 1:18

26For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

stylus

James 2:5, James 2:5, 1 Corinthians 3:18, 1 Corinthians 3:20, 1 Corinthians 3:18

27but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

stylus

James 2:5, James 2:5, Matthew 11:25, 1 Corinthians 1:20, Matthew 11:25

28and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:

stylus

Job 34:24, Job 34:24, Romans 4:17, Romans 4:17, Isaiah 2:11

29that no flesh should boast before God.

stylus

Romans 3:27, Romans 3:27, Ephesians 2:9, Ephesians 2:9, Romans 3:19

30But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

stylus

Ephesians 1:7, Ephesians 1:7, Philippians 3:9, Philippians 3:9, Romans 8:1

31that, according as it is written, "He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."

stylus

Jeremiah 9:23, Jeremiah 9:24, Jeremiah 9:23, Jeremiah 9:24, 2 Corinthians 10:17
