1 Corinthians 1
9 Ref God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Ref Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing and `that' there be no divisions among you; but `that' ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 Ref For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them `that are of the household' of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 Ref Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos: and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13 Ref Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
14 Ref I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;

22 Ref Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 Ref but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;
24 Ref but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Ref Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 Ref For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, `are called':
27 Ref but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
28 Ref and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, `yea' and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:
