1 Corinthians 1:11-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
11
For I have been informed concerning you, my brothers
and sisters,
by Chloe’s
people,
that there are quarrels among you.
12
Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, 'I am with Paul,' or 'I
am
with Apollos,' or 'I
am
with Cephas,' or 'I
am
with Christ.'
13
Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14
I am thankful that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15
so that no one would say you were baptized in my name!
16
But I did baptize the household of Stephanas also; beyond 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 cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made of no effect.
18
For the word 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 THOSE WHO HAVE UNDERSTANDING, I WILL CONFOUND.'
20
Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not
come to
know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
King James Version
Chapter 1
11
For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12
Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
14
I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
15
Lest 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 any other.
17
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
11
For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers and sisters, by members of Chloe’s people, that there is rivalry among you.
12
What I am saying is this: One of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apollos," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ."
13
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in Paul’s name?
14
I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15
so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.
16
I did, in fact, baptize the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t recall if I baptized anyone else.
17
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ will not be emptied of its effect.
18
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is the power of God to us who are being saved.
19
For it is written,
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and I will set aside the intelligence of the intelligent.
20
Where is the one who is wise? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made the world’s wisdom foolish?
21
For since, in God’s wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of what is preached.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
11
For some members of Chloe’s household have told me about your quarrels, my dear brothers and sisters.
12
Some of you are saying, 'I am a follower of Paul.' Others are saying, 'I follow Apollos,' or 'I follow Peter, ' or 'I follow only Christ.'
13
Has Christ been divided into factions? Was I, Paul, crucified for you? Were any of you baptized in the name of Paul? Of course not!
14
I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15
for now no one can say they were baptized in my name.
16
(Oh yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I don’t remember baptizing anyone else.)
17
For Christ didn’t send me to baptize, but to preach the Good News — and not with clever speech, for fear that the cross of Christ would lose its power.
18
The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
19
As the Scriptures say,
'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise
and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.'
20
So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish.
21
Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
11
For it has been reported to me by Chloe 's people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers.
12
What I mean is that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," or "I follow Apollos," or "I follow Cephas," or "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 may say that you were baptized in my name.
16
(I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.)
17
For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
18
For the word of the cross is folly 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 discernment of the discerning I will thwart."
20
Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
New International Version
Chapter 1
11
My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me 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 "; still another, "I follow Christ."
13
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14
I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15
so no one can say that you were baptized in my name.
16
(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.)
17
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
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;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."
20
Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
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 each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of 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
lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.
16
Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.
17
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
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 bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
20
Where
is
the wise? Where
is
the scribe? Where
is
the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21
For since, in the wisdom 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.
