CHAP. I.
After his salutation, and thankesgiuing, 10 he exhorteth them to vnitie, and 12 reprooueth their dissentions. 18 God destroyeth the wisedome of the wise, 21 by the foolishnesse of preaching, and 26 calleth not the wise, mighty, and noble, but 27. 28 the foolish, weake, and men of no accompt.
1Paul called to be an Apostle of Iesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2Unto 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.2
3Grace be vnto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
4I thanke my God alwayes on your behalfe, for the grace of God which is giuen you by Iesus Christ,
5That in euery thing yee are enriched by him, in all vtterance, and in all knowledge:
6Euen as the Testimony of Christ was confirmed in you.
7So that yee come behinde in no gift; wayting for the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ,7
9God is faithful by whom ye were called vnto the felowship of his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord.9
10Now 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.10
12Now 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.12
13Is Christ diuided? was Paul crucified for you? or were yee baptized in the name of Paul?
14I thanke God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius:14
15Lest any should say, that I had baptized in mine owne name.
16And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17For 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.17
18For the preaching of the Crosse is to them that perish, foolishnesse: but vnto vs which are saued, it is the power of God.18
19For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and wil bring to nothing the vnderstanding of the prudent.19
20Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisedome of this world?20
21For 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.21
22For the Iewes require a signe, and the Greekes seeke after wisedome.22
25Because the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men: and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men.
29That no flesh should glory in his presence.
31That according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.31
