I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus:

So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.

For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise: and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.

For, seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe.

For both the Jews require signs: and the Greeks seek after wisdom.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble.

For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ: and him crucified.

Which none of the princes of this world knew. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.

But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard: neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

But to us God hath revealed them by his Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.

But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

I gave you milk to drink, not meat: for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able: for you are yet carnal.

For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal and walk you not according to man?
