1 Corinthians 1

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

²to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

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

⁴I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

⁵that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—

⁶even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—

⁷so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁸who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁰Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

¹¹For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.

¹²Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
