INTRO TO THE READING
Reader: God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s
weakness is stronger than human strength. (1 Corinthians 1:25)
All: Let our faith not rest on human wisdom, but on the power of
God.
(1 Corinthians 2:5)
SCRIPTURE READING
1 Corinthians 1:1-10
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our
brother Sosthenes,
2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in
Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who in every
place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God
that has been given you in Christ Jesus, 5 for in every way you have been
enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind— 6 just as the
testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you— 7 so that you are
not lacking in any gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus
Christ. 8 He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be
blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom
you were called into the partnership of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no
divisions among you but that you be knit together in the same mind and
the same purpose.
Reader: Word of God. Word of life.
All: Thanks be to God.
