1 Od Pavla voljom Božijom pozvanog apostola Isusa Hrista, i od Sostena brata, 2 crkvi Božijoj koja je u Korintu, osvećenima u Hristu Isusu, pozvanima svetima, sa svima koji prizivaju ime Gospoda našeg Isusa Hrista na svakom mestu i njihovom i našem: 3 Blagodat vam i mir od Boga Oca našeg i Gospoda Isusa Hrista. 4 Zahvaljujem svagda Bogu svom za vas što vam je dana blagodat Božija u Hristu Isusu, 5 te se u svemu obogatiste kroza Nj, u svakoj reči i svakom razumu, 6 kao što se svedočanstvo Hristovo utvrdi među vama; 7 tako da nemate nedostatka ni u jednom daru, vi koji čekate otkrivenja Gospoda našeg Isusa Hrista, 8 koji će vas i utvrditi do samog kraja da budete pravi na dan Gospoda našeg Isusa Hrista. 9 Veran je Bog koji vas pozva u zajednicu Sina svog Isusa Hrista, Gospoda našeg. 10 Molim vas pak, braćo, imenom Gospoda našeg Isusa Hrista da svi jedno govorite, i da ne budu među vama raspre, nego da budete utvrđeni u jednom razumu i u jednoj misli. 11 Jer sam čuo za vas, braćo moja, od Hlojinih domašnjih da su svađe među vama, 12 a to kažem da jedan od vas govori: Ja sam Pavlov; a drugi: Ja sam Apolov; a treći: Ja sam Kifin; a četvrti: Ja sam Hristov. 13 Eda li se Hristos razdeli? Eda li se Pavle razape za vas? Ili se u ime Pavlovo krstiste? 14 Hvala Bogu što ja nijednog od vas ne krstih osim Krispa i Gaja; 15 da ne reče ko da u svoje ime krstih. 16 A krstih i Stefanin dom: dalje ne znam jesam li koga drugog krstio. 17 Jer Hristos ne posla mene da krstim, nego da propovedam jevanđelje, ne premudrim rečima, da ne izgubi silu krst Hristov. 18 Jer je reč krstova ludost onima koji ginu; a nama je koji se spasavamo sila Božija. 19 Jer je pisano: Pogubiću premudrost premudrih, i razum razumnih odbaciću. 20 Gde je premudri? Gde je književnik? Gde je prepirač ovog veka? Ne pretvori li Bog mudrost ovog sveta u ludost? 21 Jer budući da u premudrosti Božijoj ne pozna svet premudrošću Boga, bila je Božija volja da ludošću poučenja spase one koji veruju. 22 Jer i Jevreji znake ištu, i Grci premudrosti traže. 23 A mi propovedamo Hrista razapetog, Jevrejima, dakle, sablazan a Grcima bezumlje; 24 onima pak koji su pozvani, i Jevrejima i Grcima, Hrista, Božiju silu i Božiju premudrost. 25 Jer je ludost Božija mudrija od ljudi, i slabost je Božija jača od ljudi. 26 Jer pogledajte znanje svoje, braćo, da nema ni mnogo premudrih po telu, ni mnogo silnih ni mnogo plemenitih; 27 nego što je ludo pred svetom ono izabra Bog da posrami premudre; i što je slabo pred svetom ono izabra Bog da posrami jako; 28 i što je neplemenito pred svetom i uništeno izabra Bog, i što nije, da uništi ono što jeste, 29 da se ne pohvali nijedno telo pred Bogom. 30 Iz kog ste vi u Hristu Isusu, koji nam posta premudrost od Boga i pravda i osvećenje i izbavljenje. 31 Da (kao što se piše) ko se hvali, Gospodom da se hvali.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
See how immediately, from the very beginning, he casts down their pride, and dashes to the ground all their fond imagination, in that he speaks of himself as "called." For what I have learnt, saith he, I discovered not myself, nor acquired by my own wisdom, but while I was persecuting and laying waste the Church I was called.

Moreover, they affirm that the Apostle Paul himself made mention of this cross in the following words: "The doctrine of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us who are saved it is the power of God." And again: "God forbid that I should glory in anything save in the cross of Christ, by whom the world …
But the Only-begotten has been "made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification," and has been numbered amongst us, and paid tribute to Cæsar.

… whom;" as when it saith, "I have gotten a man by God," putting not the second cause, but the first; and again, "Is not the interpretation of them by God," and, "God is faithful, by whom ye are called unto the fellowship of His Son."
