1 Corinthians 1:1-19

Common English Bible CEB

1 From Paul, called by God's will to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and from Sosthenes our brother.

2 To God's church that is in Corinth: To those who have been made holy to God in Christ Jesus, who are called to be God's people. Together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place— he's their Lord and ours!

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

4 I thank my God always for you, because of God's grace that was given to you in Christ Jesus.

5 That is, you were made rich through him in everything: in all your communication and every kind of knowledge,

6 in the same way that the testimony about Christ was confirmed with you.

7 The result is that you aren't missing any spiritual gift while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

8 He will also confirm your testimony about Christ until the end so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God is faithful, and you were called by him to partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Now I encourage you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Agree with each other and don't be divided into rival groups. Instead, be restored with the same mind and the same purpose.

11 My brothers and sisters, Chloe's people gave me some information about you, that you're fighting with each other.

12 What I mean is this: that each one of you says, "I belong to Paul,""I belong to Apollos,""I belong to Cephas,""I belong to Christ."

13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized in Paul's name?

14 Thank God that I didn't baptize any of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 so that nobody can say that you were baptized in my name!

16 Oh, I baptized the house of Stephanas too. Otherwise, I don't know if I baptized anyone else.

17 Christ didn't send me to baptize but to preach the good news. And Christ didn't send me to preach the good news with clever words so that Christ's cross won't be emptied of its meaning.

18 The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are being destroyed. But it is the power of God for those of us who are being saved.

19 It is written in scripture: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will reject the intelligence of the intelligent.

New Revised Standard NRS

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

2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

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

4 I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus,

5 for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind—

6 just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you—

7 so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose.

11 For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters.

12 What I mean is that each of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apollos," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ."

13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

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

15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name.

16 (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.)

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to proclaim the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its power.

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

19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart."
