1Paul, called to be an apostle of Yahusha Messiah through the will of Elohim, and our brother Sosthenes, 2to the assembly of Elohim which is at Corinth, those who are sanctified in Messiah Yahusha, called set-apart ones, with all who call on the name of our Master Yahusha Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours: 3Grace to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master Yahusha Messiah. 4I always thank my Elohim concerning you for the grace of Elohim which was given you in Messiah Yahusha, 5that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge, 6even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you, 7so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Master Yahusha Messiah, 8who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Master Yahusha Messiah. 9Elohim is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Yahusha Messiah our Master. 10Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Master, Yahusha Messiah, 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 Messiah.” 13Is Messiah divided? Was Paul impaled for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul? 14I thank Elohim that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name. 16(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.) 17For Messiah sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News, not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Messiah wouldn’t be made void. 18For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of Elohim. 19For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.” 20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t Elohim made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For seeing that in the wisdom of Elohim, the world through its wisdom didn’t know Elohim, it was Elohim’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe. 22For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom, 23but we preach Messiah impaled, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is 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 you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble; 27but Elohim chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. Elohim chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong. 28Elohim chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist, 29that no flesh should boast before Elohim. 30Because of him, you are in Messiah Yahusha, who was made to us wisdom from Elohim, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, 31that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in Yahuah.
