1 Corinthians 8:9-13
Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idolâs temple, wonât that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? So this weak brother or sister, for […]
1 Corinthians 3:18-23
Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become âfoolsâ so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in Godâs sight. As it is written: âHe catches the wise in their craftinessâ; and again, âThe Lord knows […]
1 Corinthians 1:26-31
Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the worldâs eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God […]
1 Corinthians 1:21-25
Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe. It is foolish to the Jews, who ask for signs from heaven. And it is foolish to the Greeks, who seek human wisdom. So when we […]
1 Corinthians 1:18-21
The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. As the Scriptures say, âI will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.â So where does this leave the philosophers, the […]

1 Corinthians 10:12-13
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you donât fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that […]
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, âThis is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.â In the same way, after supper […]
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at […]
