2 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 theirs and ours: churchG1577 GodG2316 whichG3588 isG5607 atG1722 CorinthG2882 sanctifiedG37 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 calledG2822 saintsG40 withG4862 allG3956 inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117 uponG1941 nameG3686 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962 bothG5037 theirsG846 andG2532 oursG2257

5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; ThatG3754 inG1722 thingG3956 enrichedG4148 byG1722 himG846 inG1722 allG3956 utteranceG3056 andG2532 allG3956 knowledgeG1108

6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: asG2531 testimonyG3142 ChristG5547 confirmedG950 inG1722 youG5213

7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: thatG5620 yeG5209 behindG5302 inG1722 noG3361 noG3367 giftG5486 forG553 comingG602 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547

8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. WhoG3739 shallG950 alsoG2532 confirmG950 youG5209 untoG2193 endG5056 blamelessG410 inG1722 dayG2250 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547

9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. GodG2316 faithfulG4103 byG1223 whomG3739 calledG2564 untoG1519 fellowshipG2842 hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962

10 ¶ 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. NowG1161 beseechG3870 youG5209 brethrenG80 byG1223 nameG3686 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 thatG2443 yeG3004 allG3956 speakG3004 thingG846 andG2532 beG5600 noG3361 divisionsG4978 amongG1722 youG5213 butG1161 beG5600 togetherG2675 inG1722 sameG846 mindG3563 andG2532 inG1722 sameG846 judgmentG1106

11 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. ForG1063 declaredG1213 meG3427 ofG4012 youG5216 myG3450 brethrenG80 byG5259 houseG3588 ChloeG5514 thatG3754 areG1526 contentionsG2054 amongG1722 youG5213

12 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. NowG1161 thisG5124 sayG3004 thatG3754 oneG1538 youG5216 saithG3004 IG1473 IG3303 amG1510 PaulG3972 andG1161 IG1473 ApollosG625 andG1161 IG1473 CephasG2786 andG1161 IG1473 ChristG5547

13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? IsG3307 ChristG5547 dividedG3307 wasG4717 PaulG3972 crucifiedG4717 forG5228 youG5216 orG2228 baptizedG907 inG1519 nameG3686 PaulG3972

14 ¶ I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; thankG2168 GodG2316 thatG3754 baptizedG907 noneG3762 youG5216 butG1508 CrispusG2921 andG2532 GaiusG1050

15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. LestG3363 anyG5100 sayG2036 thatG3754 baptizedG907 inG1519 ownG1699 nameG3686

16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. AndG1161 baptizedG907 alsoG2532 householdG3624 StephanasG4734 besidesG3063 knowG1492 notG3756 baptizedG907 anyG1536 otherG243

17 ¶ 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. ForG1063 ChristG5547 sentG649 meG3165 notG3756 baptizeG907 butG235 gospelG2097 notG3756 withG1722 wisdomG4678 wordsG3056 lestG3363 crossG4716 ChristG5547 effectG2758

18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. ForG1063 preachingG3056 crossG4716 isG2076 themG3303 perishG622 foolishnessG3472 butG1161 usG2254 savedG4982 isG2076 powerG1411 GodG2316

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. ForG1063 writtenG1125 destroyG622 wisdomG4678 wiseG4680 andG2532 nothingG114 understandingG4907 prudentG4908

20 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? WhereG4226 wiseG4680 whereG4226 scribeG1122 whereG4226 disputerG4804 thisG5127 worldG165 hathG3471 notG3780 GodG2316 foolishG3471 wisdomG4678 thisG5127 worldG2889

21 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. ForG1063 afterG1894 inG1722 wisdomG4678 GodG2316 worldG2889 byG1223 wisdomG4678 knewG1097 notG3756 GodG2316 pleasedG2106 GodG2316 byG1223 foolishnessG3472 preachingG2782 saveG4982 believeG4100

22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: ForG2532 ForG1894 JewsG2453 requireG154 signG4592 andG2532 GreeksG1672 seekG2212 wisdomG4678

23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; ButG1161 weG2249 preachG2784 ChristG5547 crucifiedG4717 JewsG2453 stumblingblockG3303 stumblingblockG4625 andG1161 GreeksG1672 foolishnessG3472

24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ButG1161 themG846 whichG3588 calledG2822 bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 GreeksG1672 ChristG5547 powerG1411 GodG2316 andG2532 wisdomG4678 GodG2316

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. BecauseG3754 foolishnessG3474 GodG2316 isG2076 thanG4680 menG444 andG2532 weaknessG772 GodG2316 isG2076 thanG2478 menG444

26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: ForG1063 seeG991 yourG5216 callingG2821 brethrenG80 thatG3754 notG3756 manyG4183 menG4680 afterG2596 fleshG4561 notG3756 manyG4183 mightyG1415 notG3756 manyG4183 nobleG2104

27 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; ButG235 GodG2316 chosenG1586 thingsG3474 worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 wiseG4680 andG2532 GodG2316 chosenG1586 thingsG772 worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 mightyG2478

28 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: AndG2532 thingsG36 worldG2889 andG2532 despisedG1848 hathG1586 GodG2316 chosenG1586 andG2532 whichG3588 areG5607 notG3361 toG2443 noughtG2673 areG5607

29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. ThatG3704 noG3361 noG3956 fleshG4561 gloryG2744 presenceG1799 presenceG846

30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ButG1161 ofG1537 himG846 areG2075 yeG5210 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 whoG3739 ofG575 GodG2316 madeG1096 usG2254 usG5037 wisdomG4678 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 sanctificationG38 andG2532 redemptionG629

31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. ThatG2443 asG2531 writtenG1125 gloriethG2744 gloryG2744 inG1722 LordG2962
