1 Corinthians

Question 0

1 Corinthians 1: 21-23

Answer 0

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles.

Question 1

1 Corinthians 4: 11-13

Answer 1

To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless, and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.

Question 2

1 Corinthians 1: 17

Answer 2

For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

Question 3

1 Corinthians 1: 18

Answer 3

For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Question 4

1 Corinthians 1: 25

Answer 4

For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Question 5

1 Corinthians 3: 21-23

Answer 5

So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
