1 Corinthians 1
1 I, Paul, [am writing this letter]. Sosthenes, our fellow believer, is with [me as I write it]. [God] appointed me to be an apostle of Christ Jesus because that is what God desired.
Eu, Paulo, chamado por Deus para ser apóstolo de Jesus Cristo, junto com o nosso irmão Sóstenes, escrevemos esta carta
2 [I am sending this letter] to all you who are God’s believers in Corinth [city]. You have been set apart [by God] {[God] has set you apart} for himself because (of your close relationship with/you belong to) Christ Jesus. God has appointed you to be his people and to live in a morally pure way, just like he has appointed all the people everywhere who belong to him to live in a morally pure way. You and they have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ [MTY]. He is their sovereign Lord as well as the sovereign Lord of all of us [(inc)] who have trusted in him.
para a igreja de Deus em Corinto, para aqueles que se tornam justos em Cristo Jesus, chamados para serem santos e para todos os que louvam o Senhor Jesus Cristo, Senhor tanto deles quanto nosso, em todo o mundo.
3 We [(exc)] desire that God, who is our [heavenly] Father, and Jesus Christ, who is our sovereign Lord, will continue to act kindly toward you and cause you to experience [inner] peace.
Que a graça e a paz de Deus, nosso Pai, e do Senhor Jesus Cristo estejam com vocês.
4 I very often [HYP] thank God for you because he has acted toward you kindly, acting in ways that you do not deserve. He has done this because of your (having a close relationship with/being united to) Christ Jesus.
Eu sempre agradeço a Deus por vocês, por causa da graça que ele lhes deu, em Cristo Jesus.
5 That is, [God] has [HYP] helped you spiritually very much because of your (having a close relationship with/being united to) Christ. Specifically, God has very much [HYP] enabled you to speak messages [that his Spirit revealed to you], and he has very much enabled you to know many things [HYP] that his Spirit revealed to you.
Por meio dele, vocês se tornaram ricos em tudo, em tudo o que vocês dizem e em tudo o que sabem.
6 In that way, [he] confirmed to you that what we [(exc)] proclaimed about Christ is true.
De fato, a mensagem sobre Cristo se provou tão válida nas suas vidas
7 As a result, while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to return, within your group you truly have [LIT] every ability that [God’s] Spirit gives [to believers].
que vocês continuam a receber todos os dons espirituais, enquanto esperam pela vinda do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo.
8 God will also cause you to steadfastly [trust Christ to the very end of your lives] [EUP]. The result will be that God will not consider you guilty [of any sin] when our Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth [MTY].
Ele também os manterá fortes até o fim, para que vocês se mantenham justos até o dia da chegada do Senhor Jesus Cristo.
9 You can depend on God to do that. He is the one who chose you to become intimately associated with his Son, Jesus Christ, who is our Lord.
Deus é fiel e chamou vocês para que se unam ao seu Filho, Jesus Cristo, o nosso Senhor.
10 My fellow believers, by the authority of [MTY] our Lord Jesus Christ, I urgently appeal to all of you to agree with one another. What I mean is, stop dividing into groups. Instead, be united [MET] concerning what you understand [about spiritual matters], and be united in what you decide.
Irmãos e irmãs, eu suplico a vocês, em nome do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que todos vivam em acordo e que não haja divisões entre vocês. E que, pelo contrário, sejam unidos e tenham o mesmo propósito.
11 My fellow believers, [I urge this] because some members of Chloe’s household have told me that you are quarreling among yourselves.
Pois ouvi coisas sobre vocês, meus irmãos e minhas irmãs, ditas por algumas pessoas da família de Cloé, de que está havendo discussões entre vocês.
12 That is, some of you say, “Paul is the one to whom we [are loyal],” and others say, “Peter is the one to whom we [are loyal],” and still others say, “Christ is the one to whom we [are loyal].”
Deixem que eu explique o que quero dizer: Vocês andam dizendo: “Eu sigo Paulo”, ou “Eu sigo Apolo” e outro “Eu sigo Pedro”, ou “Eu sigo Cristo.”
13 [It is ridiculous that] [RHQ] [you are quarreling and] dividing up [into groups instead of being loyal to] Christ alone. Christ certainly has not divided himself into parts and distributed those parts out [to groups of people who oppose each other]! [MET, RHQ] I, Paul, certainly did not die on the cross for you! [RHQ] When you were baptized {When someone baptized you}, you certainly did not promise that you were submitting to me! [RHQ]
Será que Cristo está dividido? Por acaso, Paulo morreu preso a uma cruz por vocês? Foi em nome de Paulo que vocês foram batizados?
14 I thank [God] that Crispus and Gaius were the only ones from among you whom I baptized.
Estou agradecido a Deus pelo fato de não ter batizado vocês, a não ser Crispo e Gaio.
15 As a result, no one [there in Corinth except those two] can say, “Paul baptized me so that I would become (his disciple/submissive to him).”
Pois assim, ninguém pode afirmar que foi batizado em meu nome.
16 [Now I remember that] I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I do not remember baptizing anyone else [there].
Ah, eu também batizei a família de Estéfanas; mas não consigo me lembrar de mais ninguém além desses.
17 Christ sent me not [primarily] to baptize people but to preach the good message about him. When I do that, he does not want me to use words that human philosophers [consider] wise [IRO]. I do not want the message about [what] he [accomplished when he was nailed to] the cross [MTY] to lose its power.
Pois Cristo não me enviou para batizar e, sim, para anunciar a boas novas, sem usar para isso a linguagem da sabedoria humana, para que, assim, a morte de Cristo na cruz não perdesse o seu poder.
18 Those who are perishing spiritually [because they do not believe that message consider] that the message [about what Christ accomplished when he was nailed to the] cross [MTY] [is] foolish. But to us who are being saved {whom [God] is saving} [spiritually because we believe that message], it [demonstrates that] God acts powerfully [in order to save us].
Pois a mensagem da cruz não faz sentido para aqueles que estão perdidos, mas é o poder de Deus para aqueles entre nós que estão salvos.
19 [It is like what God said that] a prophet wrote long ago, [By the things that I will do], I will show that the ideas of those who [think] [IRO] they are wise are completely useless. I will ignore the ideas that they think are [IRO] so smart.
Como está escrito nas Sagradas Escrituras: “Destruirei a sabedoria dos sábios e acabarei com a inteligência dos inteligentes.”
20 So, do you know [what God thinks] about what [RHQ] people who [IRO] consider themselves to be wise and scholars and philosophers say? [He does not pay attention to what they say, because] [RHQ] he has shown clearly that what unbelievers [think is] [IRO] wise is [not wise at all], but is really foolish. (aiōn g165)
Onde estão os sábios, os escritores e os filósofos desta época? Porventura, Deus não transformou a sabedoria deste mundo em loucura? (aiōn g165)
21 God, acting very wisely, made it impossible for unbelievers to know God by doing what they thought was [IRO] wise. Instead, he was happy to save those who trust [in Christ] as the result of their hearing [the message that] was proclaimed to them, a message that others consider to be foolish.
Pois Deus, em toda a sua sabedoria, não permitiu que as pessoas do mundo, com a sabedoria que possuem, o conhecessem. Mas, é por meio da, assim chamada, loucura do anúncio das boas novas que Deus salva aqueles que têm fé nele.
22 The Jews want [people to prove, by performing] miracles, [that their message is true]. The non-Jews want to hear only messages consisting of talk that they consider to be very wise.
Os judeus pedem por sinais milagrosos, e os gregos buscam sabedoria,
23 As for us, we proclaim [the message about what] Christ [accomplished for us when] he was nailed {[when they] nailed him} to the cross. That message offends Jews [because they do not think that the Messiah will die, and] non-Jews think it is [IRO] a foolish message.
mas a nossa mensagem é a de Cristo morto em uma cruz, que se mostra como uma ofensa para os judeus e como loucura para os não-judeus.
24 But to us whom God has chosen to belong to himself, both Jews and non-Jews, that message shows that God acted powerfully and wisely [by sending] Christ [to die] for us.
No entanto, para as pessoas que são chamadas por Deus, sejam elas judias ou pagãs, Cristo é o poder e a sabedoria de Deus.
25 [Unbelievers may think] [IRO] [that] God was [acting] foolishly [by doing that], but [the truth is that] he was acting more wisely than unbelievers who [just think that] [IRO] they are wise. And unbelievers may think that God was [acting] weakly [by sending his son to die], but he was acting more powerfully than unbelievers who [just think] [IRO] [that they] act powerfully.
Pois a loucura de Deus é mais sábia do que a nossa sabedoria, e a fraqueza de Deus é mais forte do que a força humana.
26 My fellow believers, remember what [kind of people you] were when God chose you. [Not many of you] whom he chose are people whom [unbelievers considered to be] wise. Very few of you were considered to be important. Very few of you came from families with a high social standing.
Irmãos e irmãs, lembrem-se de quando foram chamados. Lembrem-se de que este chamado não incluiu muitos dos que são considerados pela humanidade como sábios, poderosos ou importantes.
27 Instead, it was [usually] those whom [unbelievers considered to be] foolish whom God chose. He did that in order to shame/discredit those whom [unbelievers consider] [IRO] wise. It was [usually] those [whom unbelievers] considered [IRO] unimportant whom God chose, in order to shame/discredit those whom unbelievers consider important.
Pelo contrário, Deus escolheu as coisas que o mundo considera loucas para humilhar as pessoas que se acham sábias. Ele escolheu o que é considerado pelo mundo como fraco para humilhar aqueles que se acham fortes.
28 It was usually those who are despised and considered {whom [unbelievers] despise and consider} worthless whom God chose, in order to make completely ineffective [what unbelievers consider to be important].
Ele escolheu coisas que o mundo não considera importantes e as quais despreza, mesmo coisas que não são importantes, para reduzir a nada as coisas que são.
29 [He did that] in order that no one could boast to God about being wise or important.
Assim, ninguém poderá se vangloriar diante de Deus.
30 It is because of what God [has done] that you (have a close relationship with/belong to) Christ Jesus. God [put into effect] his wise [plan to save us] by what Christ did for us. As a result of what Christ did, God erases the record of our sins, sets us apart for himself, and frees us from our being guilty [for our sins].
É por causa de Deus que vocês vivem em Cristo Jesus, dado por Deus a nós, para ser a nossa sabedoria. Ele nos torna justos e nos liberta.
31 So, it is the Lord whom we should boast about, [not about one spiritual leader being better than another]. We should do as ([a prophet/Jeremiah]) wrote [in the Scriptures that we should do]: Those who boast should boast [only] about what the Lord [has done].
Então, como as Sagradas Escrituras dizem: “Quem quiser se orgulhar, que se orgulhe das ações do Senhor.”
