1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called by Christ Jesus to be an apostle by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
Paulus vocatus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Sosthenes frater,
2 to the church of God at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, who are called to be holy people. We are also writing to all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord and ours.
Ecclesiae Dei, quae est Corinthi, sanctificatis in Christo Iesu, vocatis sanctis, cum omnibus, qui invocant nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi, in omni loco ipsorum, et nostro.
3 May grace and peace be to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
4 I always give thanks to my God for you because of the grace of God that Christ Jesus gave to you.
Gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei, quae data est vobis in Christo Iesu:
5 He has made you rich in every way, in all speech and with all knowledge,
quod in omnibus divites facti estis in illo, in omni verbo, et in omni scientia:
6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed as true among you.
sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis:
7 Therefore you lack no spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia, expectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Iesu Christi,
8 He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
qui et confirmabit vos usque in finem sine crimine, in die adventus Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
9 God is faithful, who called you into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Fidelis Deus: per quem vocati estis in societatem filii eius Iesu Christi Domini nostri.
10 Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree, and that there be no divisions among you. I urge that you be joined together with the same mind and by the same purpose.
Obsecro autem vos fratres per nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi: ut idipsum dicatis omnes, et non sint in vobis schismata: sitis autem perfecti in eodem sensu, et in eadem scientia.
11 For it has been made clear to me, my brothers, by Chloe's people that there are factions among you.
Significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab iis, qui sunt Chloes, quia contentiones sunt inter vos.
12 I mean this: Each one of you says, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.”
Hoc autem dico, quod unusquisque vestrum dicit: Ego quidem sum Pauli: ego autem Apollo: ego vero Cephae: ego autem Christi.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Divisus est Christus: Numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis? aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius.
Gratias ago Deo meo, quod neminem vestrum baptizavi, nisi Crispum, et Caium:
15 This was so that no one would say that you were baptized into my name.
nequis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati estis.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know if I baptized any others.)
Baptizavi autem et Stephanae domum: ceterorum autem nescio si quem alium vestrum baptizaverim.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel. He did not send me to preach with words of human wisdom, so that the cross of Christ should not be emptied of its power.
Non enim misit me Christus baptizare, sed evangelizare: non in sapientia verbi, ut non evacuetur crux Christi.
18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are dying. But among those whom God is saving, it is the power of God.
Verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est: iis autem, qui salvi fiunt, id est nobis, Dei virtus est.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will frustrate the understanding of the intelligent.”
Scriptum est enim: Perdam sapientiam sapientium, et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo.
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this world? Has not God turned the wisdom of the world into foolishness? (aiōn g165)
Ubi sapiens? ubi scriba? ubi conquisitor huius saeculi? Nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam huius mundi? (aiōn g165)
21 Since the world in its wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
Nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum: placuit Deo per stultitiam praedicationis salvos facere credentes.
22 For Jews ask for miraculous signs and Greeks seek wisdom.
Quoniam et Iudaei signa petunt, et Graeci sapientiam quaerunt:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks.
nos autem praedicamus Christum crucifixum: Iudaeis quidem scandalum, Gentibus autem stultitiam,
24 But to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ as the power and the wisdom of God.
ipsis autem vocatis Iudaeis, atque Graecis Christum Dei virtutem, et Dei sapientia:
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than people, and the weakness of God is stronger than people.
quia quod stultum est Dei, sapientius est hominibus: et quod infirmum est Dei, fortius est hominibus.
26 Look at your calling, brothers. Not many of you were wise by human standards. Not many of you were powerful. Not many of you were of noble birth.
Videte enim vocationem vestram fratres, quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem, non multi potentes, non multi nobiles:
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose what is weak in the world to shame what is strong.
sed quae stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat sapientes: et infirma mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat fortia:
28 God chose what is low and despised in the world. He even chose things that are regarded as nothing, to bring to nothing things that are held as valuable.
et ignobilia mundi, et contemptibilia elegit Deus, et ea, quae non sunt, ut ea quae sunt destrueret:
29 He did this so that no one would have a reason to boast before him.
ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu eius.
30 Because of what God did, now you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God. He became our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
Ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Iesu, qui factus est nobis sapientia a Deo, et iustitia, et sanctificatio, et redemptio:
31 As a result, as scripture says, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
ut quemadmodum scriptum est: Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur.
