1 Corinthians 1:9

7 so that you come short in no gift, eagerly ^awaiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

8 ^awho will also confirm you to the end, ^bthat you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 ^aGod is faithful, by whom you were called into ^bthe fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sectarianism Is Sin

10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^athat you all speak the same thing, and that there be no² divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.

12 Now I say this, that ^aeach of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of ^bApollos,” or “I am of ^cCephas,” or “I am of Christ.”

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

14 I thank God that I baptized ^anone of you except ^bCrispus and ^cGaius,

15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.

16 Yes, I also baptized the household of ^aStephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, ^anot with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

Christ the Power and Wisdom of God

18 For the¹ message of the cross is ^afoolishness to ^bthose who are perishing, but to us ^cwho are being saved it is the ^dpower of God.

19 For it is written:
^a“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

20 ^aWhere is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the¹ disputer of this age? ^bHas not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

21 For since, in the ^awisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

22 For ^aJews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;

23 but we preach Christ crucified, ^ato the Jews a stumbling block and to the² Greeks ^bfoolishness,

24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ ^athe power of God and ^bthe wisdom of God.

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

Glory Only in the Lord

26 For¹ you see your calling, brethren, ^athat not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many² noble, are called.

27 But ^aGod has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;

28 and the¹ base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,

29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.

30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and ^arighteousness and sanctification and redemption—

31 that, as it is written, ^a“He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”
