Why does the spelling look unusual?

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

² Unto the Church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Iesus, called to be Saints, with all that in euery place call vpon the Name of Iesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

³ Grace be vnto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.

⁴ I thanke my God alwayes on your behalfe, for the grace of God which is giuen you by Iesus Christ,

⁵ That in euery thing yee are enriched by him, in all vtterance, and in all knowledge:

⁶ Euen as the Testimony of Christ was confirmed in you.

⁷ So that yee come behinde in no gift; wayting for the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ,

⁸ Who shall also confirme you vnto the end, that yee may be blamelesse in the day of our Lord Iesus Christ.

⁹ God is faithful by whom ye were called vnto the felowship of his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁰ Now I beseech you brethren by the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that yee all speake the same thing, and that there be no diuisions among you: but that ye be perfectly ioyned together in the same minde, and in the same iudgement.

¹¹ For it hath bene declared vnto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Cloe, that there are contentions among you.

¹² Now this I say, that euery one of you saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollo, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

¹³ Is Christ diuided? was Paul crucified for you? or were yee baptized in the name of Paul?

¹⁴ I thanke God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius:

¹⁵ Lest any should say, that I had baptized in mine owne name.

¹⁶ And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Gospel: not with wisedome of words, lest the Crosse of Christ should be made of none effect.

¹⁸ For the preaching of the Crosse is to them that perish, foolishnesse: but vnto vs which are saued, it is the power of God.

¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and wil bring to nothing the vnderstanding of the prudent.

²⁰ Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisedome of this world?

²¹ For after that, in the wisedom of God, the world by wisedome knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishnesse of preaching, to saue them that beleeue.

²² For the Iewes require a signe, and the Greekes seeke after wisedome.

²³ But wee preach Christ crucified, vnto the Iewes a stumbling block, and vnto the Greekes, foolishnesse:

²⁴ But vnto them which are called, both Iewes and Greekes, Christ, the power of God, & the wisedome of God.

²⁵ Because the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men: and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men.

²⁶ For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called.

²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise: and God hath chosen the weake things of the world, to confound the things which are mighty:

²⁸ And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are,

²⁹ That no flesh should glory in his presence.

³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Iesus, who of God is made vnto vs wisedome, and righteousnesse, and sanctification, and redemption:

³¹ That according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Jerry's 1 Corinthians Chapter 1 comment about verse 18 on 4/30/2012, 8:51am...

My name is Jerry; Was born again in the 60s during the "Hippie Rev"...was never one; was not looking for Jesus; {Who by the way was not lost}Jesus found me, and i was instantly & radically changed into a follower of Christ...A young 19 yr.old {Christian} named "Jerry Gray"blessed us with his brief presence in his life; my point is this;i live among a whole host of (Mormons)and recently asked them why they have no "Cross" on their temples; the simple response was, it is foolish to display something{Like the Cross} that was used to kill someone on...I asked them were they "Born Again" and they didn't even know what i meant...

Brother Arius

Read 1 Corinthians 3: 23

[23]And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.

You belong to Christ. Christ belongs to God.

You belong to God through Christ. Christ is the foundation of your faith in God.

Nevermore Mazongo's 1 Corinthians Chapter 1 comment on 4/17/2012, 10:56pm...

To the church of God which is at Corinth.
To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ.
To them that are called to be saints.
To them that call upon the name of Jesus Christ in every place, for their sake and for the sake of others.

Grace be unto you, and peace , from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful and by Him you were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Paul beseeches those who worship God to have no divisions amongst themselves.

Believers should be joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Paul had learnt that there were divisions amongst the believers in Corinth.
[12] Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. [13] Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

Up to this day these divisions have taken root in the Christian faith.

Like in the olden days Christians still identify their churches by the names of the founders or the names given by the founders.

Paul thanks God he did not baptize any of them except Crispus and Gaius and a few others.

[17]For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish because of foolishness.

And the preaching of the power of God is to those who are saved.

God will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

God has made the wisdom of this World foolish.
Through His Wisdom God created the World, yet humankind in its own wisdom did not know God.

The World tries to please God by the foolishness of preaching to them that believe.

[21]
The Jews require a sign for them to believe.
The Greeks require wisdom for them to believe.

Preaching that Jesus Christ was crucified is a stumbling-block to the Jews. [23]

Preaching that Jesus Christ was crucified is foolishness to the Greeks. [23]The wise of this World.

But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Jesus Christ is the Power and Wisdom of God.
Few wise men are called.
Few mighty men are called.
Few noble men are called.
Few rich men are called.
Many are busy with worldly affairs and the desire to fulfill fleshly passions.

God chooses the foolish things of the World to confound the wise.

God chooses the weak things of the World to confound the mighty.

God chooses the base things of the World , to confound the highly regarded.

God chooses the despised things of this World , to confound the exalted.

God chooses things which are not, to bring to nought things that are.

No one is glorious in the eyes of God.

But of him who is in Jesus Christ, who God has made through His Wisdom and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption: let him glory in the Lord.

Jesus Christ himself did not baptize people. [John 4:2]
Jesus Christ could not have baptized people in his own name.
Jesus Christ’s baptism is by the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Anyone receiving this baptism is saved and receives eternal life.

Arius's 1 Corinthians Chapter 1 comment on 3/02/2012, 2:51pm...

I have a friend who keeps calling the Christ God. is there scriptural out there that can correct him?

Gloria's 1 Corinthians Chapter 1 comment about verse 8 on 9/01/2011, 2:24pm...

You will have checkpoints throughout your life to keep you on track and on course with Jesus Christ. Amen, whom he chastises, he loves.

Gloria's 1 Corinthians Chapter 1 comment about verse 7 on 9/01/2011, 2:22pm...

That you lose not any gift while waiting on the coming of the Lord. Some will sing like a bird but let envy or jealous come in and lose the crown for this gift but make it to Heaven.

Ricky's 1 Corinthians Chapter 1 comment on 7/12/2011, 5:17am...

As I read the words of Paul,John,Matthew I myself don't see a church name in any of the words. Just like here why do we humans fight weather what denomination titles is right which is wrong. The Lord said as Paul was trying to get across to the Corinthian that their hearts were change by God the father. When I ask the Lord to come into my heart and asked forgiveness and to live within me. I didn't see a church name above my head. I ask God to forgive me of my sins. But I do believe we need a good church to attend to help keep us full of his glory. Because we just like cars will run out of gas and could backslide.

Connie Mitchell's 1 Corinthians Chapter 1 comment on 4/11/2011, 3:01pm...

I think God for the wisdom and knowledge he had given me, to know him for myself by studying his word, he merely wants us to love one another, to live in unity and be ready for his coming, because he is coming back again.
