\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}
