The Bible, King James version, Book 46: 1 Corinthians

      Book 46 1 Corinthians

      46:001:001 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

      46:001:002 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

      46:001:003 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

      46:001:004 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

      46:001:005 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

      46:001:006 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

      46:001:007 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

      46:001:008 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

      46:001:009 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

      46:001:010 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

      46:001:011 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

      46:001:012 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

      46:001:013 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

      46:001:014 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

      46:001:015 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

      46:001:016 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

      46:001:017 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

      46:001:018 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

      46:001:019 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

      46:001:020 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

      46:001:021 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

      46:001:022 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

      46:001:023 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

      46:001:024 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

      46:001:025 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

      46:001:026 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

      46:001:027 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

      46:001:028 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

      46:001:029 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

      46:001:030 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

      46:001:031 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

      46:002:001 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

      46:002:002 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

      46:002:003 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

      46:002:004 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

      46:002:005 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

      46:002:006 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

      46:002:007 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

      46:002:008 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

      46:002:009 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

      46:002:010 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

      46:002:011 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

      46:002:012 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

      46:002:013 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

      46:002:014 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

      46:002:015 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

      46:002:016 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

      46:003:001 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

      46:003:002 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

      46:003:003 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

      46:003:004 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

      46:003:005 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

      46:003:006 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

      46:003:007 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

      46:003:008 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

      46:003:009 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

      46:003:010 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

      46:003:011 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

      46:003:012 Now if any
