PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes 1our brother, "unto the church of God which is at Corinth, even them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord and ours: "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace (5 of God which was given you in Christ Jesus; "that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all utterance 6 and all knowledge; "even as the testimony of Christ was 7 confirmed in you: "so that ye come behind in no gift; (8 waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; "who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye be unreprove"God is faith9 able in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

"And I baptized also the household of Stephanas : 17 besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

18

For the word of the cross is to them that are perishing foolishness; but unto us which are being saved it is the 19) power of God. "For it is written,

I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,

And the prudence of the prudent will I reject.

(20 "Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the 21 wisdom of the world? "For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the (22 preaching to save them that believe. "Seeing that Jews (23 ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom: "but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and 24 unto Gentiles foolishness; "but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

For behold your calling, brethren, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: "but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise;

And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.
