1 Corinthians 1

1 Paul a called apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God and Sosthenes the brother

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

2 To the church of God which is being in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus called holy, together with all those calling on the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs (then *k*) and ours:

unto the church of God which is at Corinth, [even] them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their [Lord] and ours:

3 Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

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

4 I thank the God of mine always concerning you for the grace of God which having been given you in Christ Jesus

I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

5 for in everything you have been enriched in Him in all speech and in all knowledge,

that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge;

6 even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed in you,

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 so as for you not to be lacking in not one gift eagerly awaiting the revelation of the Lord of us Jesus Christ;

so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8 who also will sustain you to [the] end blameless in the day of the Lord of us Jesus Christ.

who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye be] unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Faithful [is] God, through whom you were called into fellowship with the Son of Him Jesus Christ the Lord of us.

God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 I exhort now you, brothers, through the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ that the same thing you may speak all and not there may be among you divisions, you may be however knit together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11 It was shown for to me concerning you, brothers of mine, by those of Chloe that quarrels among you there are.

For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them [which are of the household] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 I mean now this, that each of you says; I myself indeed am of Paul, I myself however of Apollos, I myself however of Cephas, I myself however of Christ.

Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Has been divided Christ? Surely not Paul was crucified for you? Or into the name of Paul were you baptized?

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

14 I thank God that no [one] of you I baptized only except Crispus and Gaius,

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

15 so that not anyone may say that into my name (you were baptized. *N(K)O*)

lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name.

16 I baptized now also the of Stephanas household; as to the rest not I know whether any other I baptized.

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

17 Not for sent me Christ to baptize but to evangelise; not in wisdom of discourse, that not may be emptied of power the cross of the Christ.

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

18 The message for of the cross to those indeed perishing foolishness is, to those however being saved to us power of God it is.

For the word of the cross is to them that are perishing foolishness; but unto us which are being saved it is the power of God.

19 It has been written for: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.

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

20 Where [is the] wise? Where [the] scribe? Where [the] debater of the age this? Surely has made foolish God the wisdom of the world (this? *k*) (aiōn g165)

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

21 Since for in the wisdom of God not knew the world through the wisdom God, was pleased God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those believing;

For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe.

22 Seeing that both Jews (signs *N(K)O*) ask for and Greeks wisdom seek,

Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:

23 we ourselves however preach Christ crucified, to [the] Jews indeed a stumbling block (to Gentiles *N(K)O*) however foolishness

but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;

24 to them however to those called, Jews both and to Greeks, Christ of God [the] power and of God [the] wisdom.

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

25 For the foolishness of God wiser than men is and the weakness of God stronger than men (is. *k*)

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

26 Consider for the calling of you, brothers, that not many wise according to flesh [were], not many powerful, not many of noble birth,

For behold your calling, brethren, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:

27 But the foolish things of the world has chosen God that He may shame the wise and the weak things of the world chose God that He may shame the strong,

but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

28 and the low-born of the world and the [things] despised chose God, (and *ko*) the [things] not being, that the [things] being He may annul,

and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:

29 so that not may boast all flesh before (God. *N(K)O*)

that no flesh should glory before God.

30 Out of Him however you yourselves are in Christ Jesus, who has been made wisdom unto us from God, righteousness and also sanctification and redemption,

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

31 in order that even as it has been written: The [one] boasting in [the] Lord he should boast.

that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
