1 Corinthians 1

1Paul, called an apostle of Yahusha Messiah through the will of Elohim, and Sosthenes brother, 2Unto the church of Elohim which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Messiah Yahusha, called saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Yahusha Messiah our Lord, both theirs and ours: 3Grace unto you, and peace, from Elohim our Father, and the Lord Yahusha Messiah. 4I thank my Elohim always on your behalf, for the grace of Elohim which is given you by Yahusha Messiah; 5That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and all knowledge; 6Even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you: 7So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Yahusha Messiah: 8Who shall also confirm you unto the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Yahusha Messiah. 9Elohim faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Yahusha Messiah our Lord. 10Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Yahusha Messiah, that ye all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you; but ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Messiah. 13Is Messiah divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 14I thank Elohim that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 15Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 16And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 17For Messiah sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Messiah should be made of none effect. 18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of Elohim. 19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20Where the wise? where the scribe? where the disputer of this world? has not Elohim made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For after that in the wisdom of Elohim the world by wisdom knew not Elohim, it pleased Elohim by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23But we preach Messiah crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah the power of Elohim, and the wisdom of Elohim. 25Because the foolishness of Elohim is wiser than men; and the weakness of Elohim is stronger than men. 26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, : 27But Elohim has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and Elohim has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has Elohim chosen, , and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30But of him are ye in Messiah Yahusha, who of Elohim is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
