1 Corinthians 1

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

Paul by vocacion an Apostle of Iesus Christ thorow the will of God and brother Sostenes.

2 To the Church of God in Corinth, men and women consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ-- their Lord as well as ours.

Vnto the congregacion of God which is at Corinthum. To them that are sanctified in Christ Iesu sainctes by callynge with all that call on the name of oure lorde Iesus Christ in every place both of theirs and of oures

3 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be with you and peace fro God oure father and from the lorde Iesus Christ.

4 I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--

I thanke my God all wayes on youre behalfe for ye grace of God which is geuen you by Iesus Christ

5 that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge.

that in all thinges ve are made riche by him in all lerninge and in all knowledge

6 Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,

even as the testimony of Iesus Christ was confermed in you)

7 so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

so that ye are behynde in no gyft and wayte for the apperynge of oure lorde Iesus Christ

8 who will also keep you stedfast to the very End, so that you will be free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

which shall streght you vnto ye ende that ye maye be blamelesse in ye daye of oure lorde Iesus Christ.

9 God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.

ffor god is faythfull by whom ye are called vnto ye fellishyppe of his sonne Iesus Christe oure lorde

10 Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony--all of you--and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.

I beseche you brethre in ye name of oure lorde Iesus Christ that ye all speake one thynge and that there be no dissencion amoge you: but be ye knyt together in one mynde and in one meaynge.

11 For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.

It is shewed vnto me (my brethren) of you by them that are of the housse of Cloe that ther is stryfe amonge you. And this is it that I meane:

12 What I mean is that each of you is a partisan. One man says "I belong to Paul;" another "I belong to Apollos;" a third "I belong to Peter;" a fourth "I belong to Christ."

how that comelie amonge you one sayeth: I holde of Paul: another I holde of Apollo: ye thyrde I holde of Cephas: ye four ye I holde of Christ.

13 Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?

Ys Christ devided? was Paul crucified for you? ether were ye baptised in ye name of Paul?

14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius--

I thanke God that I christened none of you but Crispus and Gayus

15 for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.

lest eny shulde saye that I had baptised in myne awne name.

16 I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.

I baptised also the housse of Stephana. Forthermore knowe I not whether I baptised eny man or no.

17 Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News; and not in merely wise words--lest the Cross of Christ should be deprived of its power.

For Christ sent me not to baptyse but to preache ye gospell not with wysdome of wordes lest the crosse of Christ shuld have bene made of none effecte.

18 For the Message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are on the way to perdition, but it is the power of God to those whom He is saving.

For ye preachinge of the crosse is to them yt perisshe folishnes: but vnto vs which are saved it is ye power of God.

19 For so it stands written, "I will exhibit the nothingness of the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought."

For it is written: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse and will cast awaye the vnderstondinge of the prudet.

20 Where is your wise man? Where your expounder of the Law? Where your investigator of the questions of this present age? Has not God shown the world's wisdom to be utter foolishness? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wyse? Where is the scrybe? Where is the searcher of this worlde? Hath not God made the wysdome of this worlde folisshnes? (aiōn g165)

21 For after the world by its wisdom--as God in His wisdom had ordained--had failed to gain the knowledge of God, God was pleased, by the apparent foolishness of the Message which we preach, to save those who accepted it.

For when the worlde thorow wysdome knew not God in ye wysdome of God: it pleased God thorow folisshnes of preachinge to save them yt beleve.

22 Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,

For ye Iewes requyre a signe and the Grekes seke after wysdome.

23 while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,

But we preache Christ crucified vnto the Iewes an occasion of fallinge and vnto the Grekes folisshnes:

24 but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

but vnto the which are called both of Iewes and Grekes we preache Christ ye power of God and the wysdome of God.

25 Because that which the world deems foolish in God is wiser than men's wisdom, and that which it deems feeble in God is mightier than men's might.

For the folishnes of God is wyser then me: and the weakenes of God is stronger then men.

26 For consider, brethren, God's call to you. Not many who are wise with merely human wisdom, not many of position and influence, not many of noble birth have been called.

Brethren loke on youre callinge how that not many wyse men after the flesshe not many myghty not many of hye degre are called:

27 But God has chosen the things which the world regards as foolish, in order to put its wise men to shame; and God has chosen the things which the world regards as destitute of influence, in order to put its powerful things to shame;

but God hath chosen the folysshe thinges of the worlde to confounde the wyse. And God hath chosyn the weake thinges of the worlde to confounde thinges which are mighty.

28 and the things which the world regards as base, and those which it sets utterly at nought--things that have no existence--God has chosen in order to reduce to nothing things that do exist;

And vile thinges of the worlde and thinges which are despysed hath God chosen yee and thinges of no reputacion for to brynge to nought thinges of reputacion

29 to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God.

that no flesshe shulde reioyce in his presence.

30 But you--and it is all God's doing--are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;

And vnto him partayne ye in Christ Iesu which of God is made vnto vs wysdome and also rightewesnes and saunctifyinge and redempcion.

31 in order that it may be as Scripture says, "He who boasts--let his boast be in the Lord."

That accordinge as it is written: he which reioyseth shulde reioyce in the Lorde.
