1 Corinthians 1:1-17

[1] Paul,  called  to be an apostle  of Jesus  Christ  through  the will  of God,  and  Sosthenes  our brother,  [2] Unto the church  of God  which  at  Corinth,  to them that are sanctified  in  Christ  Jesus,  called  to be saints,  with  all  that in  every  place  call upon  the name  of Jesus  Christ  Lord,  theirs  and  [3] Grace  and  peace,  from  God  Father,  and  from the Lord  Jesus  Christ.  [4] I thank  God  always  behalf,  for  the grace  of God  which  is given  by  Jesus  Christ;  [5] That  in  every thing  ye are enriched  by  him,  in  all  utterance,  and  in all  knowledge;  [6] Even as  the testimony  of Christ  was confirmed  in  [7] So that  come behind  in  no  gift;  waiting for  the coming  Lord  Jesus  Christ:  [8] Who  also  confirm  unto  the end,  that ye may be blameless  in  the day  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  [9] God  is faithful,  by  whom  ye were called  unto  the fellowship  of his  Son  Jesus  Christ  Lord.  [10] Now  I beseech  brethren,  by  the name  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that  all  speak  the same thing,  and  no  divisions  among  but  perfectly joined together  in  the same  mind  and  in  the same  judgment.  [11] For  it hath been declared  of  brethren,  by  them which are of the house  of Chloe,  that  contentions  among  [12] Now  I say,  that  every one  saith,  am  of Paul;  and  of Apollos;  and  of Cephas;  and  of Christ.  [13] Christ  divided?  Paul  crucified  for  or  were ye baptized  in  the name  of Paul?  [14] I thank  God  that  I baptized  none  Crispus  and  Gaius;  [15] any  should say  that  I had baptized  in  mine own  name.  [16] And  I baptized  also  the household  of Stephanas:  besides,  I know  not  whether I baptized  other.  [17] For  Christ  sent  not  to baptize,  but  to preach the gospel:  not  with  wisdom  of words,  the cross  of Christ  should be made of none effect.
