1 Corinthians 1:3-15

English Standard Version

^3 (A)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving

⁴ I ^(B)give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ that in every way ^(C)you were enriched in him in all ^(D)speech and all knowledge— ⁶ even as ^(E)the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— ⁷ so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you ^(F)wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^8 (G)who will sustain you to the end, ^(H)guiltless ^(I)in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ^9 (J)God is faithful, by whom you were called into the ^(K)fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Divisions in the Church

¹⁰ I appeal to you, brothers,^[a] by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no ^(L)divisions among you, but that you be united ^(M)in the same mind and the same judgment. ¹¹ For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is ^(N)quarreling among you, my brothers. ¹² What I mean is that ^(O)each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow ^(P)Apollos,” or “I follow ^(Q)Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.” ^13 (R)Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you ^(S)baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you except ^(T)Crispus and ^(U)Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name.
