1 Corinthians 1:1-13 ▼

1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

2 to the Assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called holy ones, with all those calling on the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place—both theirs and ours:

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,

5 that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all discourse and all knowledge,

6 according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,

7 so that you are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

8 who also will confirm you to the end—unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

9 faithful [is] God, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 And I call on you, brothers, through the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing you may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and you may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

11 for it was signified to me concerning you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;

12 and I say this, that each one of you says, “I, indeed, am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.”

13 Has the Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?
