  • 1 Cor 1:9-9 : 9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. 11 For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers and sisters, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, 'I follow Paul,' another, 'I follow Apollos,' another, 'I follow Cephas,' and still another, 'I follow Christ.' 13 Is Christ 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 also baptized the household of Stephanas; apart from that, I do not know if I baptized anyone else. 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. 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 the understanding of the intelligent I will frustrate.' 20 Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish? 21 For since in God’s wisdom the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 But we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles, 24 But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. 26 Brothers and sisters, consider your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 So that no one may boast before him.
