WEB·1 Corinthians 1

¹Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

KJVPaul^G3972, called^G2822 to be an apostle^G652 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 through^G1223 the will^G2307 of God^G2316, and^G2532 Sosthenes^G4988 our brother^G80,

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

KJVUnto the church^G1577 of God^G2316 which^G3588 is^G5607^(G5752) at^G1722 Corinth^G2882, to them that are sanctified^G37^(G5772) in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, called^G2822 to be saints^G40, with^G4862 all^G3956 that in^G1722 every^G3956 place^G5117 call upon^G1941^(G5734) the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 our^G2257 Lord^G2962, both^G5037 theirs^G846 and^G2532 ours^G2257:

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

KJVGrace^G5485 be unto you^G5213, and^G2532 peace^G1515, from^G575 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962, and^G2532 from the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

⁴ I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

KJVI thank^G2168^(G5719) my^G3450 God^G2316 always^G3842 on^G4012 your^G5216 behalf^G4012, for^G1909 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 which^G3588 is given^G1325^(G5685) you^G5213 by^G1722 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547;

⁵ that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—

KJVThat^G3754 in^G1722 every thing^G3956 ye are enriched^G4148^(G5681) by^G1722 him^G846, in^G1722 all^G3956 utterance^G3056, and^G2532 in all^G3956 knowledge^G1108;

⁶ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—

KJVEven as^G2531 the testimony^G3142 of Christ^G5547 was confirmed^G950^(G5681) in^G1722 you^G5213:

⁷ so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

KJVSo that^G5620 ye^G5209 come behind^G5302^(G5745) in^G1722 no^G3361^G3367 gift^G5486; waiting for^G553^(G5740) the coming^G602 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

⁸ who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVWho^G3739 shall^G950 also^G2532 confirm^G950^(G5692) you^G5209 unto^G2193 the end^G5056, that ye may be blameless^G410 in^G1722 the day^G2250 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

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

KJVGod^G2316 is faithful^G4103, by^G1223 whom^G3739 ye were called^G2564^(G5681) unto^G1519 the fellowship^G2842 of his^G846 Son^G5207 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 our^G2257 Lord^G2962.

¹⁰ Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

KJVNow^G1161 I beseech^G3870^(G5719) you^G5209, brethren^G80, by^G1223 the name^G3686 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, that^G2443 ye^G3004 all^G3956 speak^G3004^(G5725) the same thing^G846, and^G2532 that there be^G5600^(G5753) no^G3361 divisions^G4978 among^G1722 you^G5213; but^G1161 that ye be^G5600^(G5753) perfectly joined together^G2675^(G5772) in^G1722 the same^G846 mind^G3563 and^G2532 in^G1722 the same^G846 judgment^G1106.

¹¹ For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.

KJVFor^G1063 it hath been declared^G1213^(G5681) unto me^G3427 of^G4012 you^G5216, my^G3450 brethren^G80, by^G5259 them which are of the house^G3588 of Chloe^G5514, that^G3754 there are^G1526^(G5748) contentions^G2054 among^G1722 you^G5213.

¹² Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”

KJVNow^G1161 this^G5124 I say^G3004^(G5719), that^G3754 every one^G1538 of you^G5216 saith^G3004^(G5719), I^G1473^G3303 am^G1510^(G5748) of Paul^G3972; and^G1161 I^G1473 of Apollos^G625; and^G1161 I^G1473 of Cephas^G2786; and^G1161 I^G1473 of Christ^G5547.

¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

KJVIs^G3307 Christ^G5547 divided^G3307^(G5769)?^G3361 was^G4717 Paul^G3972 crucified^G4717^(G5681) for^G5228 you^G5216? or^G2228 were ye baptized^G907^(G5681) in^G1519 the name^G3686 of Paul^G3972?

¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

KJVI thank^G2168^(G5719) God^G2316 that^G3754 I baptized^G907^(G5656) none^G3762 of you^G5216, but^G1508 Crispus^G2921 and^G2532 Gaius^G1050;

¹⁵ so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.

KJVLest^G3363 any^G5100 should say^G2036^(G5632) that^G3754 I had baptized^G907^(G5656) in^G1519 mine own^G1699 name^G3686.

¹⁶ (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)

KJVAnd^G1161 I baptized^G907^(G5656) also^G2532 the household^G3624 of Stephanas^G4734: besides^G3063, I know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 whether I baptized^G907^(G5656) any^G1536 other^G243.

¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.

KJVFor^G1063 Christ^G5547 sent^G649^(G5656) me^G3165 not^G3756 to baptize^G907^(G5721), but^G235 to preach the gospel^G2097^(G5733): not^G3756 with^G1722 wisdom^G4678 of words^G3056, lest^G3363 the cross^G4716 of Christ^G5547 should be made of none effect^G2758^(G5686).

¹⁸ For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

KJVFor^G1063 the preaching^G3056 of the cross^G4716 is^G2076^(G5748) to them^G3303 that perish^G622^(G5730) foolishness^G3472; but^G1161 unto us^G2254 which are saved^G4982^(G5746) it is^G2076^(G5748) the power^G1411 of God^G2316.

¹⁹ For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

KJVFor^G1063 it is written^G1125^(G5769), I will destroy^G622^(G5692) the wisdom^G4678 of the wise^G4680, and^G2532 will bring to nothing^G114^(G5692) the understanding^G4907 of the prudent^G4908.

²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

KJVWhere^G4226 is the wise^G4680? where^G4226 is the scribe^G1122? where^G4226 is the disputer^G4804 of this^G5127 world^G165? hath^G3471 not^G3780 God^G2316 made foolish^G3471^(G5656) the wisdom^G4678 of this^G5127 world^G2889?

²¹ For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

KJVFor^G1063 after^G1894 that in^G1722 the wisdom^G4678 of God^G2316 the world^G2889 by^G1223 wisdom^G4678 knew^G1097^(G5627) not^G3756 God^G2316, it pleased^G2106^(G5656) God^G2316 by^G1223 the foolishness^G3472 of preaching^G2782 to save^G4982^(G5658) them that believe^G4100^(G5723).

²² For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

KJVFor^G2532^G1894 the Jews^G2453 require^G154^(G5719) a sign^G4592, and^G2532 the Greeks^G1672 seek^G2212^(G5719) after wisdom^G4678:

²³ but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,

KJVBut^G1161 we^G2249 preach^G2784^(G5719) Christ^G5547 crucified^G4717^(G5772), unto the Jews^G2453 a stumblingblock^G3303^G4625, and^G1161 unto the Greeks^G1672 foolishness^G3472;

²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;

KJVBut^G1161 unto them^G846 which^G3588 are called^G2822, both^G5037 Jews^G2453 and^G2532 Greeks^G1672, Christ^G5547 the power^G1411 of God^G2316, and^G2532 the wisdom^G4678 of God^G2316.

²⁵ because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

KJVBecause^G3754 the foolishness^G3474 of God^G2316 is^G2076^(G5748) wiser than^G4680 men^G444; and^G2532 the weakness^G772 of God^G2316 is^G2076^(G5748) stronger than^G2478 men^G444.

²⁶ For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

KJVFor^G1063 ye see^G991^(G5719) your^G5216 calling^G2821, brethren^G80, how that^G3754 not^G3756 many^G4183 wise men^G4680 after^G2596 the flesh^G4561, not^G3756 many^G4183 mighty^G1415, not^G3756 many^G4183 noble^G2104, are called:

²⁷ but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.

KJVBut^G235 God^G2316 hath chosen^G1586^(G5668) the foolish things^G3474 of the world^G2889 to^G2443 confound^G2617^(G5725) the wise^G4680; and^G2532 God^G2316 hath chosen^G1586^(G5668) the weak things^G772 of the world^G2889 to^G2443 confound^G2617^(G5725) the things which are mighty^G2478;

²⁸ God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,

KJVAnd^G2532 base things^G36 of the world^G2889, and^G2532 things which are despised^G1848^(G5772), hath^G1586 God^G2316 chosen^G1586^(G5668), yea, and^G2532 things which^G3588 are^G5607^(G5752) not^G3361, to^G2443 bring to nought^G2673^(G5661) things that are^G5607^(G5752):

²⁹ that no flesh should boast before God.

KJVThat^G3704 no^G3361^G3956 flesh^G4561 should glory^G2744^(G5667) in his presence^G1799^G846.

³⁰ Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

KJVBut^G1161 of^G1537 him^G846 are^G2075^(G5748) ye^G5210 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, who^G3739 of^G575 God^G2316 is made^G1096^(G5675) unto us^G2254^G5037 wisdom^G4678, and righteousness^G1343, and^G2532 sanctification^G38, and^G2532 redemption^G629:

³¹ that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”

KJVThat^G2443, according as^G2531 it is written^G1125^(G5769), He that glorieth^G2744^(G5740), let him glory^G2744^(G5737) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962.

KJV^G1161 I commend^G4921^(G5719) unto you^G5213 Phebe^G5402 our^G2257 sister^G79, which is^G5607^(G5752) a servant^G1249 of the church^G1577 which^G3588 is at^G1722 Cenchrea^G2747:

² that you receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.

⁴ who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles.

KJVWho^G3748 have^G5294 for^G5228 my^G3450 life^G5590 laid down^G5294^(G5656) their own^G1438 necks^G5137: unto whom^G3739 not^G3756 only^G3441 I^G1473 give thanks^G2168^(G5719), but^G235 also^G2532 all^G3956 the churches^G1577 of the Gentiles^G1484.

KJVNow^G1161 I beseech^G3870^(G5719) you^G5209, brethren^G80, mark^G4648^(G5721) them which cause^G4160^(G5723) divisions^G1370 and^G2532 offences^G4625 contrary^G3844 to the doctrine^G1322 which^G3739 ye^G5210 have learned^G3129^(G5627); and^G2532 avoid^G1578^(G5657) them^G575^G846.

¹⁸ For those who are such don’t serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

KJVFor^G1063 they that are such^G5108 serve^G1398^(G5719) not^G3756 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, but^G235 their own^G1438 belly^G2836; and^G2532 by^G1223 good words^G5542 and^G2532 fair speeches^G2129 deceive^G1818^(G5719) the hearts^G2588 of the simple^G172.

¹⁹ For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil.

KJVFor^G1063 your^G5216 obedience^G5218 is come abroad^G864^(G5633) unto^G1519 all^G3956 men. I am glad^G5463^(G5719) therefore^G3767 on^G1909 your^G5213 behalf^G1909: but yet^G1161 I would have^G2309^(G5719) you^G5209 wise^G4680 unto^G1519 that which is^G1511^(G5750) good^G3303^G18, and^G1161 simple^G185 concerning^G1519 evil^G2556.

²⁰ And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

KJVAnd^G1161 the God^G2316 of peace^G1515 shall bruise^G4937^(G5692) Satan^G4567 under^G5259 your^G5216 feet^G4228 shortly^G1722^G5034. The grace^G5485 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 be with^G3326 you^G5216. Amen^G281.

²¹ Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.

KJVTimotheus^G5095 my^G3450 workfellow^G4904, and^G2532 Lucius^G3066, and^G2532 Jason^G2394, and^G2532 Sosipater^G4989, my^G3450 kinsmen^G4773, salute^G782^(G5736) you^G5209.

²² I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord.
