1 Corinthians 1:1-13 ▼

1 PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sos’the-nes,

2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, the invited and holy ones who are sanctified by Jesus Christ, and to all of them in every place who invoke the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:

3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and from our LORD Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God that has been given to you by Jesus Christ;

5 For in everything you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6 Because the testimony of Christ has been confirmed in you:

7 And you do not lack any of his gifts but wait for the manifestation of our LORD Jesus Christ:

8 Who will also strengthen you to the end so that you may be blameless in the day of our LORD Jesus Christ.

9 God, by whom you have been called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our LORD, is trustworthy.

10 Now I beseech you, my brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, to be of one accord, and let there be no divisions among you but be perfectly united in one mind and in one thought.

11 For I have been informed about you, my brethren, by the household of Chlo'e that there are disputes among you.

12 Now this I say, because there are some among you who say, I am a follower of Paul; and some who say, I am a follower of Apol’los; and some who say, I am a follower of Ce’phas; and some who say, I am a follower of Christ.

13 Why? Is Christ divided? or was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
