Paul called G2822 to be an apostle G652 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 through G1223 the will G2307 of God, G2316 and Sosthenes G4988 our brother, G80

Grace G5485 be to you, and peace, G1515 from God G2316 our Father, G3962 and from the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

For the preaching G3056 of the cross G4716 is to them that perish G622 foolishness; G3472 but to us which are saved G4982 it is the power G1411 of God. G2316

Where G4226 is the wise? G4680 where G4226 is the scribe? G1122 where G4226 is the disputer G4804 of this G5127 world? G165 has not God G2316 made G3471 foolish G3471 the wisdom G4678 of this G5127 world? G2889

For you see G991 your G5216 calling, G2821 brothers, G80 how that not many G4183 wise G4680 men after G2596 the flesh, G4561 not many G4183 mighty, G1415 not many G4183 noble, G2104 are called:

And base G36 things of the world, G2889 and things which are despised, G1848 has God G2316 chosen, G1586 yes, and things which G3588 are not, to bring G2673 to nothing G2673 things that are:

And I was with you in weakness, G769 and in fear, G5401 and in much G4183 trembling. G5156

But the natural G5591 man G444 receives G1209 not the things of the Spirit G4151 of God: G2316 for they are foolishness G3472 to him: neither G2532 G3756 can G1410 he know G1097 them, because G3754 they are spiritually G4153 discerned. G350

Let no G3367 man G3367 deceive G1818 himself. G1438 If G1487 any G1536 man among G1722 you seems G1380 to be wise G4680 in this G5129 world, G165 let him become G1096 a fool, G3474 that he may be wise. G4680

Then Jehu H3058 came H3318 forth H3318 to the servants H5650 of his lord: H113 and one said H559 to him, Is all well? H7965 why H4069 came H935 this H2088 mad H7696 fellow to you? And he said H559 to them, You know H3045 the man, H376 and his communication. H7879

The days H3117 of visitation H6486 are come, H935 the days H3117 of recompense H7966 are come; H935 Israel H3478 shall know H3045 it: the prophet H5030 is a fool, H191 the spiritual H7307 man H376 is mad, H7696 for the multitude H7230 of your iniquity, H5771 and the great H7227 hatred. H4895

Then G1161 certain G5100 philosophers G5386 of the Epicureans, G1946 and of the Stoicks, G4770 encountered G4820 him. And some G5100 said, G3004 What G5101 will G2309 this G3778 babbler G4691 say? G3004 other some, G3588 He seems G1380 to be a setter G2604 forth G2604 of strange G3581 gods: G1140 because G3754 he preached G2097 to them Jesus, G2424 and the resurrection. G386

And when they heard G191 of the resurrection G386 of the dead, G3498 some G3588 G3303 mocked: G5512 and others G3588 said, G2036 We will hear G191 you again G3825 of this G5127 matter.

And as he thus G5023 spoke G626 for himself, Festus G5347 said G5346 with a loud G3173 voice, G5456 Paul, G3972 you are beside G3105 yourself; much G4183 learning G1121 does make G4062 you mad. G1519 G3130

Blessed G3107 are you, when G3752 men shall revile G3679 you, and persecute G1377 you, and shall say G2036 all G3956 manner of evil G4190 G4487 against G2596 you falsely, G5574 for my sake. G1752

And you shall be hated G3404 of all G3956 men for my name's G3686 sake: but he that endures G5278 to the end G5056 shall be saved. G4982

The disciple G3101 is not above G5228 his master, G1320 nor G3761 the servant G1401 above G5228 his lord. G2962

Then G5119 shall they deliver G3860 you up to be afflicted, G2347 and shall kill G615 you: and you shall be hated of all G3956 nations G1484 for my name's G3686 sake.

Blessed G3107 are you, when G3752 men G444 shall hate G3404 you, and when G3752 they shall separate G873 you from their company, and shall reproach G3679 you, and cast G1544 out your G5216 name G3686 as evil, G4190 for the Son G5207 of man's G444 sake. G1752

For I will show G5263 him how G3745 great G3745 things he must G1163 suffer G3958 for my name's G3686 sake.

If G1487 you be reproached G3679 for the name G3686 of Christ, G5547 happy G3107 are you; for the spirit G4151 of glory G1391 and of God G2316 rests G373 on G2596 you: on their part he is evil G987 spoken G987 of, but on G2596 your G5209 part he is glorified. G1392

Now G2236 you are full, G2880 now G2236 you are rich, G4147 you have reigned G936 as kings without G5565 us: and I would G3785 to God you did reign, G936 that we also G2532 might reign G4821 with you.

Why, G1355 my dearly beloved, G27 flee G5343 from idolatry. G1495

I speak G3004 as to wise G5429 men; judge G2919 you what G3739 I say. G5346

How H349 do you say, H559 We are wise, H2450 and the law H8451 of the LORD H3068 is with us? See, H2009 certainly H403 in vain H8267 made H6213 he it; the pen H5842 of the scribes H5608 is in vain. H8267

The wise H2450 men are ashamed, H954 they are dismayed H2865 and taken: see, H2009 they have rejected H3988 the word H1697 of the LORD; H3068 and what H4100 wisdom H2451 is in them?

And I was with you in weakness, G769 and in fear, G5401 and in much G4183 trembling. G5156

For his letters, G1992 say G5346 they, are weighty G926 and powerful; G2478 but his bodily G4983 presence G3952 is weak, G770 and his speech G3056 contemptible. G1848

Who G5101 is weak, G770 and I am not weak? G770 who G5101 is offended, G4624 and I burn G4448 not?

And he said G2046 to me, My grace G5485 is sufficient G714 for you: for my strength G1411 is made G5048 perfect G5048 in weakness. G769 Most G2236 gladly G2236 therefore G3767 will I rather G3123 glory G2744 in my infirmities, G769 that the power G1411 of Christ G5547 may rest G1981 on me.

Therefore G1352 I take pleasure G2106 in infirmities, G769 in reproaches, G5196 in necessities, G318 in persecutions, G1375 in distresses G4730 for Christ's G5547 sake: for when G3752 I am G1510 weak, G770 then G5119 am G1510 I strong. G1415

Since G1893 you seek G2212 a proof G1382 of Christ G5547 speaking G2980 in me, which G3739 to you-ward G1519 G5209 is not weak, G770 but is mighty G1414 in you.

For though G1487 he was crucified G4717 through G1537 weakness, G769 yet G235 he lives G2198 by the power G1411 of God. G2316 For we also G2532 are weak G770 in him, but we shall live G2198 with him by the power G1411 of God G2316 toward G1519 you.

For we are glad, G5463 when G3752 we are weak, G770 and you are strong: G1415 and this G5124 also G2532 we wish, G2172 even your G5216 perfection. G2676

I have G2192 fed G4222 you with milk, G1051 and not with meat: G1033 for till now G3768 you were not able G1410 to bear it, neither G235 G3777 yet G2089 now G3568 are you able. G1410

Why G5620 let him that thinks G1380 he stands G2476 take heed G991 lest G3361 he fall. G4098

He that is void H2638 of wisdom H3820 despises H936 his neighbor: H7453 but a man H376 of understanding H8394 holds H2790 his peace. H2790

He is despised H959 and rejected H2310 of men; H376 a man H376 of sorrows, H4341 and acquainted H3045 with grief: H2483 and we hid H5641 as it were our faces H6440 from him; he was despised, H959 and we esteemed H2803 him not.

He that hears G191 you hears G191 me; and he that despises G114 you despises G114 me; and he that despises G114 me despises G114 him that sent G649 me.

And he spoke G2036 this G5026 parable G3850 to certain G5100 which G3588 trusted G3982 in themselves G1438 that they were righteous, G1342 and despised G1848 others: G3062

He therefore G5105 that despises, G114 despises G114 not man, G444 but God, G2316 who has also G2532 given G1325 to us his holy G40 Spirit. G4151
