1 Corinthians 1

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

παυλος κλητος αποστολος ιησου χριστου δια θεληματος θεου και σωσθενης ο αδελφος

2 to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place — both theirs and ours:

τη εκκλησια του θεου τη ουση εν κορινθω ηγιασμενοις εν χριστω ιησου κλητοις αγιοις συν πασιν τοις επικαλουμενοις το ονομα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου εν παντι τοπω αυτων τε και ημων

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

χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου

4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,

ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντοτε περι υμων επι τη χαριτι του θεου τη δοθειση υμιν εν χριστω ιησου

5 that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all discourse and all knowledge,

οτι εν παντι επλουτισθητε εν αυτω εν παντι λογω και παση γνωσει

6 according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,

καθως το μαρτυριον του χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν

7 so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

ωστε υμας μη υστερεισθαι εν μηδενι χαρισματι απεκδεχομενους την αποκαλυψιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

8 who also shall confirm you unto the end — unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

ος και βεβαιωσει υμας εως τελους ανεγκλητους εν τη ημερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

9 faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

πιστος ο θεος δι ου εκληθητε εις κοινωνιαν του υιου αυτου ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων

10 And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

παρακαλω δε υμας αδελφοι δια του ονοματος του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ινα το αυτο λεγητε παντες και μη η εν υμιν σχισματα ητε δε κατηρτισμενοι εν τω αυτω νοι και εν τη αυτη γνωμη

11 for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;

εδηλωθη γαρ μοι περι υμων αδελφοι μου υπο των χλοης οτι εριδες εν υμιν εισιν

12 and I say this, that each one of you saith, 'I, indeed, am of Paul' — 'and I of Apollos,' — 'and I of Cephas,' — 'and I of Christ.'

λεγω δε τουτο οτι εκαστος υμων λεγει εγω μεν ειμι παυλου εγω δε απολλω εγω δε κηφα εγω δε χριστου

13 Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;

μεμερισται ο χριστος μη παυλος εσταυρωθη υπερ υμων η εις το ονομα παυλου εβαπτισθητε

14 I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius —

ευχαριστω τω θεω οτι ουδενα υμων εβαπτισα ει μη κρισπον και γαιον

15 that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;

ινα μη τις ειπη οτι εις το εμον ονομα εβαπτισα

16 and I did baptize also Stephanas' household — further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.

εβαπτισα δε και τον στεφανα οικον λοιπον ουκ οιδα ει τινα αλλον εβαπτισα

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but — to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;

ου γαρ απεστειλεν με χριστος βαπτιζειν αλλ ευαγγελιζεσθαι ουκ εν σοφια λογου ινα μη κενωθη ο σταυρος του χριστου

18 for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us — those being saved — it is the power of God,

ο λογος γαρ ο του σταυρου τοις μεν απολλυμενοις μωρια εστιν τοις δε σωζομενοις ημιν δυναμις θεου εστιν

19 for it hath been written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'

γεγραπται γαρ απολω την σοφιαν των σοφων και την συνεσιν των συνετων αθετησω

20 where [is] the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

που σοφος που γραμματευς που συζητητης του αιωνος τουτου ουχι εμωρανεν ο θεος την σοφιαν του κοσμου τουτου (aiōn g165)

21 for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

επειδη γαρ εν τη σοφια του θεου ουκ εγνω ο κοσμος δια της σοφιας τον θεον ευδοκησεν ο θεος δια της μωριας του κηρυγματος σωσαι τους πιστευοντας

22 Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

επειδη και ιουδαιοι σημειον αιτουσιν και ελληνες σοφιαν ζητουσιν

23 also we — we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

ημεις δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον ιουδαιοις μεν σκανδαλον ελλησιν δε μωριαν

24 and to those called — both Jews and Greeks — Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,

αυτοις δε τοις κλητοις ιουδαιοις τε και ελλησιν χριστον θεου δυναμιν και θεου σοφιαν

25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;

οτι το μωρον του θεου σοφωτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν και το ασθενες του θεου ισχυροτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν

26 for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

βλεπετε γαρ την κλησιν υμων αδελφοι οτι ου πολλοι σοφοι κατα σαρκα ου πολλοι δυνατοι ου πολλοι ευγενεις

27 but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

αλλα τα μωρα του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεος ινα τους σοφους καταισχυνη και τα ασθενη του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεος ινα καταισχυνη τα ισχυρα

28 and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless —

και τα αγενη του κοσμου και τα εξουθενημενα εξελεξατο ο θεος και τα μη οντα ινα τα οντα καταργηση

29 that no flesh may glory before Him;

οπως μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον αυτου

30 and of Him ye — ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

εξ αυτου δε υμεις εστε εν χριστω ιησου ος εγενηθη ημιν σοφια απο θεου δικαιοσυνη τε και αγιασμος και απολυτρωσις

31 that, according as it hath been written, 'He who is glorying — in the Lord let him glory.'

ινα καθως γεγραπται ο καυχωμενος εν κυριω καυχασθω
