1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,
yAvantaH pavitrA lOkAH svESAm asmAkanjca vasatisthAnESvasmAkaM prabhO ryIzOH khrISTasya nAmnA prArthayantE taiH sahAhUtAnAM khrISTEna yIzunA pavitrIkRtAnAM lOkAnAM ya IzvarIyadharmmasamAjaH karinthanagarE vidyatE
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.

3 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmAkaM pitrEzvarENa prabhunA yIzukhrISTEna ca prasAdaH zAntizca yuSmabhyaM dIyatAM|
4 I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,
IzvarO yIzukhrISTEna yuSmAn prati prasAdaM prakAzitavAn, tasmAdahaM yuSmannimittaM sarvvadA madIyEzvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi|
5 That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
khrISTasambandhIyaM sAkSyaM yuSmAkaM madhyE yEna prakArENa sapramANam abhavat
6 As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
tEna yUyaM khrISTAt sarvvavidhavaktRtAjnjAnAdIni sarvvadhanAni labdhavantaH|
7 So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
tatO'smatprabhO ryIzukhrISTasya punarAgamanaM pratIkSamANAnAM yuSmAkaM kasyApi varasyAbhAvO na bhavati|
8 Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
aparam asmAkaM prabhO ryIzukhrISTasya divasE yUyaM yannirddOSA bhavEta tadarthaM saEva yAvadantaM yuSmAn susthirAn kariSyati|
9 God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
ya IzvaraH svaputrasyAsmatprabhO ryIzukhrISTasyAMzinaH karttuM yuSmAn AhUtavAn sa vizvasanIyaH|
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.
hE bhrAtaraH, asmAkaM prabhuyIzukhrISTasya nAmnA yuSmAn vinayE'haM sarvvai ryuSmAbhirEkarUpANi vAkyAni kathyantAM yuSmanmadhyE bhinnasagghAtA na bhavantu manOvicArayOraikyEna yuSmAkaM siddhatvaM bhavatu|
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.
hE mama bhrAtarO yuSmanmadhyE vivAdA jAtA iti vArttAmahaM klOyyAH parijanai rjnjApitaH|
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.
mamAbhiprEtamidaM yuSmAkaM kazcit kazcid vadati paulasya ziSyO'ham ApallOH ziSyO'haM kaiphAH ziSyO'haM khrISTasya ziSyO'hamiti ca|
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
khrISTasya kiM vibhEdaH kRtaH? paulaH kiM yuSmatkRtE kruzE hataH? paulasya nAmnA vA yUyaM kiM majjitAH?
14 I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;
kriSpagAyau vinA yuSmAkaM madhyE'nyaH kO'pi mayA na majjita iti hEtOraham IzvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi|
15 Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.
EtEna mama nAmnA mAnavA mayA majjitA iti vaktuM kEnApi na zakyatE|
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
aparaM stiphAnasya parijanA mayA majjitAstadanyaH kazcid yanmayA majjitastadahaM na vEdmi|
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.
khrISTEnAhaM majjanArthaM na prEritaH kintu susaMvAdasya pracArArthamEva; sO'pi vAkpaTutayA mayA na pracAritavyaH, yatastathA pracAritE khrISTasya kruzE mRtyuH phalahInO bhaviSyati|
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.
yatO hEtO ryE vinazyanti tE tAM kruzasya vArttAM pralApamiva manyantE kinjca paritrANaM labhamAnESvasmAsu sA IzvarIyazaktisvarUpA|
19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.
tasmAditthaM likhitamAstE, jnjAnavatAntu yat jnjAnaM tanmayA nAzayiSyatE| vilOpayiSyatE tadvad buddhi rbaddhimatAM mayA||
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)
jnjAnI kutra? zAstrI vA kutra? ihalOkasya vicAratatparO vA kutra? ihalOkasya jnjAnaM kimIzvarENa mOhIkRtaM nahi? (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.
Izvarasya jnjAnAd ihalOkasya mAnavAH svajnjAnEnEzvarasya tattvabOdhaM na prAptavantastasmAd IzvaraH pracArarUpiNA pralApEna vizvAsinaH paritrAtuM rOcitavAn|
22 For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
yihUdIyalOkA lakSaNAni didRkSanti bhinnadEzIyalOkAstu vidyAM mRgayantE,
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:
vayanjca kruzE hataM khrISTaM pracArayAmaH| tasya pracArO yihUdIyai rvighna iva bhinnadEzIyaizca pralApa iva manyatE,
24 But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
kintu yihUdIyAnAM bhinnadEzIyAnAnjca madhyE yE AhUtAstESu sa khrISTa IzvarIyazaktirivEzvarIyajnjAnamiva ca prakAzatE|
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
yata IzvarE yaH pralApa ArOpyatE sa mAnavAtiriktaM jnjAnamEva yacca daurbbalyam Izvara ArOpyatE tat mAnavAtiriktaM balamEva|
26 For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:
hE bhrAtaraH, AhUtayuSmadgaNO yaSmAbhirAlOkyatAM tanmadhyE sAMsArikajnjAnEna jnjAnavantaH parAkramiNO vA kulInA vA bahavO na vidyantE|
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.
yata IzvarO jnjAnavatastrapayituM mUrkhalOkAn rOcitavAn balAni ca trapayitum IzvarO durbbalAn rOcitavAn|
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:
tathA varttamAnalOkAn saMsthitibhraSTAn karttum IzvarO jagatO'pakRSTAn hEyAn avarttamAnAMzcAbhirOcitavAn|
29 That no flesh should glory in his sight.
tata Izvarasya sAkSAt kEnApyAtmazlAghA na karttavyA|
30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:
yUyanjca tasmAt khrISTE yIzau saMsthitiM prAptavantaH sa IzvarAd yuSmAkaM jnjAnaM puNyaM pavitratvaM muktizca jAtA|
31 That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.
ataEva yadvad likhitamAstE tadvat, yaH kazcit zlAghamAnaH syAt zlAghatAM prabhunA sa hi|
