1 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,

Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sosthenes my brother,

2 To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place of theirs and ours.

to the church of God which is in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

3 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,

I thank my God always on your account, for the grace of God which is given to you in Christ Jesus;

5 That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

that you are enriched by him in every thing, in all speech, and in all knowledge,

6 As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

even as the testimony concerning the Christ was con firmed among you,

7 So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

so that you are deficient in no gift, while waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He also will establish you even to the end, and make you blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

God is faithful, by whom you have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

Now, I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you, but that you be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

11 For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

For it has been made known to me concerning you, my brethren, by the family of Cloe, that there are contentions among you.

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.

I mean this: that each one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I 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?

Is the Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you immersed into the name of Paul?

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

I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

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

that no one may say that I immersed into my own name.

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

I did, indeed, immerse the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I immersed 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.

For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of the Christ should be deprived of its power.

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.

For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, 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.

For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will set aside the understanding of the prudent.

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? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe.

For, since in the wisdom of God, the world, by its wisdom, knew not God, it has pleased God, through the foolishness of what is preached, to save those who believe.

22 For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek for wisdom;

23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:

but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks, foolishness:

24 But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

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

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

26 For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble call you;

27 But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.

but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may bring to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen, that he may put to shame the strong;

28 And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:

and the ignoble things of the world, and the things that are despised, has God chosen, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are;

29 That no flesh should glory in his sight.

that no flesh should glory in his presence.

30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:

But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who has become to us, from God, wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

31 That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.

that, as it is written: He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
