I thank my God always about you, for the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,
that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge.
Just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

God is faithful through whom ye were called for the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you, but ye may be thoroughly prepared in the same mind and in the same understanding.
For it was declared to me about you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Now I say this. That each of you actually say, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were ye immersed in the name of Paul?
I thank God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
lest some man should say that I immersed in my name.
And I also immersed the household of Stephanas. Besides, I know not whether I immersed any other.

For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the good news, not in wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ would be emptied.

For the message of the cross is of course foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is a power of God.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will frustrate the understanding of those of understanding.

For since in the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its wisdom, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
And because Jews demand a sign and Greeks search for wisdom,
but we proclaim Christ crucified, it is truly to Jews a stumbling-block and to Gentiles foolishness.
