1 Corinthians 1:12-20 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

12. Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13. Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14. I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;

15. Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.

16. And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

18. For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.

19. For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.

20. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
