\subsection{I Corinthians 1}
\VS{1} I, Paul, [a] called apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God, and Sosthenes [my] brother, 
\VS{2} to the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} of God that is in Corinth, to those made 
holy in Christ Jesus, to the called holy [ones], with all those in every place 
calling upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, theirs and ours, 
\VS{3} grace to you and peace from God our father and Jesus Christ [our] Lord.

\VS{4} I thank God always concerning you for the grace of God given to you 
in Christ Jesus, 
\VS{5} that in everything you are made rich in him, in 
every word and every knowledge, 
\VS{6} just as the testimony of Christ was 
reinforced in you, 
\VS{7} so that you do \negd{not} come short in any 
gift\footnote{from [GRACE]}, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
\VS{8} who shall also reinforce you until [the] end blameless in the day of our 
Lord Jesus Christ. 
\VS{9} God [is] trustworthy through whom you were called into 
[the] fellowship of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.

\VS{10} I call upon you, brothers, through the words of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, that you all say the same [thing], and may there not be schisms among you, 
but may you be made complete in the same mind and in the same opinion. 
\VS{11} For it has been revealed to me concerning you, my brothers, from 
Cloe, that there is strife among you. 
\VS{12} And this [one] says that each [of you] 
says: I [am of] Paul, or: I [am of] Apollo, or: I [am of] Cephas, or: I [am of] Christ. 
\VS{13} Was Paul crucified in your behalf, or were you baptized into 
the name of Paul?\fnGrammarIndicatesNo{} 
\VS{14} I thank God that I baptized none [of you] except Crispus and Gaius, 
\VS{15} in order that no one say that they were baptized into my name. 
\VS{16} Thus I did also baptize the house of Stephen; besides [these] I do 
not know if I baptized any others. 
\VS{17} For Christ did not send me to be 
baptizing but to be good-newsing, not in wisdom of word, in order that the 
cross of Christ not be emptied. 

\VS{18} For the word of the cross to those perishing is foolishness, but to 
us being saved it is the power of God. 
\VS{19} For it is written:

\begin{verse}
I will ruin the wisdom of the wise, \\
And will set aside the insight of the intelligent.
\end{verse}

\VS{20} Where [is the] wise? Where [is the] scribe? Where [is the] disputer of this eternity? Won't 
God make foolish the wisdom of the world? 
\VS{21} For since in the wisdom of 
God the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God to save those 
believing through the foolishness of proclamation. 
\VS{22} For [the] Jews request\fnAiteo{} [a] sign and [the] Greeks seek wisdom, 
\VS{23} but we proclaim Christ crucified, to the Jews [a] stumbling, 
and to the nations foolishness. 
\VS{24} But to those called, to both Jews and Greeks, Christ [is] 
the power of God and the wisdom of God. 
\VS{25} For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness 
of God is stronger than men. 
\VS{26} Be looking, therefore, to your calling, 
brothers, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many strong, not 
many well-born [are chosen]. 
\VS{27} But God has chosen the foolish [things] of the world in 
order that he shame the wise, and has chosen the weak [things] of the world in order 
that he shame the strong, 
\VS{28} and has chosen the not-[well]-born [things] of the world 
and the contemptuous [things], and the [things] that are not, in order that he nullify the 
[things] that are, 
\VS{29} So that every flesh will not boast before God. 
\VS{30} But of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and 
justness and holyfication and redemption, 
\VS{31} in order that just as it 
is written:

\begin{verse}
The [one] boasting, \\
Let\fnImperative{} him be boasting in the Lord.
\end{verse}
