Chapter 1

Paul called to be an apostle of YAHSHUA MASHIYACH through the will of ELOHIYM, and Sosthenes our brother,

Unto the church of ELOHIYM which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in MASHIYACH YAHSHUA, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of YAHSHUA MASHIYACH our ADONAY, both their's and our's:

Grace be unto you, and peace, from ELOHIYM our Father, and from the ADONAY YAHSHUA MASHIYACH.

I thank my ELOHIYM always on your behalf, for the grace of EL which is given you by YAHSHUA MASHIYACH;

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

Even as the testimony of MASHIYACH was confirmed in you:

So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our ADONAY YAHSHUA MASHIYACH:

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our ADONAY YAHSHUA MASHIYACH.

ELOHIYM is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son YAHSHUA MASHIYACH our ADONAY.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our ADONAY YAHSHUA MASHIYACH, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

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.

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 MASHIYACH.

Is MASHIYACH divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

I thank EL that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

For MASHIYACH sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of MASHIYACH should be made of none effect.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of ELOHIYM.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not ELOHIYM made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For after that in the wisdom of ELOHIYM the world by wisdom knew not EL, it pleased EL by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

But we preach MASHIYACH crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, MASHIYACH the power of ELOHIYM, and the wisdom of EL.

Because the foolishness of ELOHIYM is wiser than men; and the weakness of EL is stronger than men.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

But ELOHIYM hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and EL hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath ELOHIYM chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

But of him are ye in MASHIYACH YAHSHUA, who of ELOHIYM is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in YHVH.
