Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, the invited and holy ones who are sanctified by Jesus Christ, and to all of them in every place who invoke the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and from our LORD Jesus Christ.

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God that has been given to you by Jesus Christ;

God, by whom you have been called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our LORD, is trustworthy.

I confess to my God that I have baptized none of you, except Cris''pus and Ga''ius;

For the preaching of the cross * to those who have gone astray is foolishness; but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the learned of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Because all the wisdom which God had given was not sufficient for the world to know God, it pleased God to save those who believe by the simple gospel.

But for those who are called, both Jews and Syrians, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

But God has chosen the foolish ones of the world to put the wise to shame; and God has chosen the weak ones of the world to embarrass the mighty;

But you also belong to God through Jesus Christ who, from God, is wisdom and righteousness and sanctification, and salvation to all of us.

AND I, my brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellency of speech, nor did I preach to you with learning the mystery of God.

And I was with you with much reverence for God and in trembling.

So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But we discuss the wisdom of God shown in a mysterious way, and it is hidden, but which God ordained before the world for our glory:

But as it is written, The eye has not seen, and the ear has not heard, and the heart of man has not conceived the things which God has prepared for those who love him.

But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

For what man knows the mind of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so, no man knows the mind of God, except the Spirit of God.

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit that is from God, that we may understand the gifts that are given to us by God.
