1 Corinthians 1:11-21

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

11 For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by those of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.

12 In other words, that each one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas ”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

13 Is the Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?

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

14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

15 lest any should say that ye were baptized into my name.

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

16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.)

17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} of Christ should be made void.

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

18 For the word of the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} is foolishness to those that perish, but unto us who are saved, it is the power of God.

18 For the message of 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 will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

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

20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

21 For in the wisdom of God, since the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those that believe.

21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
