1 Corinthians 1

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

Paul, called an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes,

2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

to the church of God being in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, along with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours:

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

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

4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

I give thanks to my God always in your behalf, for the grace of God given unto you in Christ Jesus;

5 That in every thing all of you are enriched by him, in all utterance, (logos) and in all knowledge;

because in everything you are enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge;

6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

as the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you;

7 So that all of you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

so that you are deficient in no spiritual gift; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that all of you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

who will also establish you unblamable unto the end in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God is faithful, by whom all of you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.

10 Now I plead to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that all of you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

But I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you may all speak the same things, and that there may be no schisms among you; but you may be perfected in the same mind and in the same disposition.

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

For it has been revealed to me concerning you, my brethren, by those who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

And I say this, that each one says, I indeed am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were all of you baptized in the name of Paul?

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

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

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;

15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

in order that no one may say that you are baptized in my name.

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

But I baptized also the family of Stephanas: besides, I know not if I baptized any other.

17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, (logos) lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with the wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made of none effect.

18 For the preaching (logos) of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those who are saved it is the power of God.

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the understanding of the intelligent.

20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise man? where is the scribe? where is the investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness? (aiōn g165)

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

For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

Since indeed the Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks seek after wisdom;

23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness;

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

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

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

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

26 For all of you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

For you see your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many influential, not many high-born:

27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong;

28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:

and God has chosen the base-born of the world, and those of no reputation, the things which are not, that He may set at nought the things which are,

29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God.

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

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

31 That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

in order that, as it has been written, Let him that glorieth glory in the Lord.
