1 Corinthians 1:1-13 ▼

1 Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,

2 to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;

5 that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,

6 (according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you,)

7 so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8 who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion.

11 For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you.

12 But I speak of this, that each of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

13 Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?
