Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 1
1 παυλος κλητος αποστολος ιησου χριστου δια θεληματος θεου και σωσθενης ο αδελφος
PAUL, a called apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,
2 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
to the church of God which is at Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, with all those who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both their’s and our’s:
3 χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντοτε περι υμων επι τη χαριτι του θεου τη δοθειση υμιν εν χριστω ιησου
I give thanks to my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which hath been given you in Christ Jesus;
5 οτι εν παντι επλουτισθητε εν αυτω εν παντι λογω και παση γνωσει
that in every thing ye have been enriched by him, in all utterance, and all knowledge;
6 καθως το μαρτυριον του χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν
thus the testimony of Jesus hath been confirmed among you:
7 ωστε υμας μη υστερεισθαι εν μηδενι χαρισματι απεκδεχομενους την αποκαλυψιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
so that ye have not been deficient in any gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
8 ος και βεβαιωσει υμας εως τελους ανεγκλητους εν τη ημερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
who shall confirm you to the end blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 πιστος ο θεος δι ου εκληθητε εις κοινωνιαν του υιου αυτου ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων
Faithful is God, by whom ye have been called into communion with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 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
Now I conjure you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that ye be perfectly united together in the same mind and the same sentiment.
11 εδηλωθη γαρ μοι περι υμων αδελφοι μου υπο των χλοης οτι εριδες εν υμιν εισιν
For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 λεγω δε τουτο οτι εκαστος υμων λεγει εγω μεν ειμι παυλου εγω δε απολλω εγω δε κηφα εγω δε χριστου
Now this I observe, that one and another of you saith, I am indeed of Paul; but I of Apollos; but I of Cephas; but I am of Christ.
13 μεμερισται ο χριστος μη παυλος εσταυρωθη υπερ υμων η εις το ονομα παυλου εβαπτισθητε
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptised into the name of Paul?
14 ευχαριστω τω θεω οτι ουδενα υμων εβαπτισα ει μη κρισπον και γαιον
I thank God that I baptised none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;
15 ινα μη τις ειπη οτι εις το εμον ονομα εβαπτισα
that no man might say, I baptised into my own name.
16 εβαπτισα δε και τον στεφανα οικον λοιπον ουκ οιδα ει τινα αλλον εβαπτισα
And I also baptised the household of Stephanus: besides these, I know not if I baptised any other person.
17 ου γαρ απεστειλεν με χριστος βαπτιζειν αλλ ευαγγελιζεσθαι ουκ εν σοφια λογου ινα μη κενωθη ο σταυρος του χριστου
For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of discourse, lest the cross of Christ should be slighted.
18 ο λογος γαρ ο του σταυρου τοις μεν απολλυμενοις μωρια εστιν τοις δε σωζομενοις ημιν δυναμις θεου εστιν
For the discourse, the subject of which is the cross, is indeed to those who perish, folly; but to us who are saved it is the power of God.
19 γεγραπται γαρ απολω την σοφιαν των σοφων και την συνεσιν των συνετων αθετησω
For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of the intelligent will I make useless.”
20 που σοφος που γραμματευς που συζητητης του αιωνος τουτου ουχι εμωρανεν ο θεος την σοφιαν του κοσμου τουτου (aiōn g165)
Where is the sophist? where is the scribe? where is the inquisitive searcher after this world’s wisdom? hath not God turned into folly the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
21 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
for since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 επειδη και ιουδαιοι σημειον αιτουσιν και ελληνες σοφιαν ζητουσιν
For the Jews demand a miracle, and the Greeks seek wisdom:
23 ημεις δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον ιουδαιοις μεν σκανδαλον ελλησιν δε μωριαν
but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offence, and to the Greeks folly;
24 αυτοις δε τοις κλητοις ιουδαιοις τε και ελλησιν χριστον θεου δυναμιν και θεου σοφιαν
but to those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 οτι το μωρον του θεου σοφωτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν και το ασθενες του θεου ισχυροτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν
For this foolishness of God is wiser than men; and this weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 βλεπετε γαρ την κλησιν υμων αδελφοι οτι ου πολλοι σοφοι κατα σαρκα ου πολλοι δυνατοι ου πολλοι ευγενεις
For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many fleshly wise, not many men in power, not many men of high birth, are called:
27 αλλα τα μωρα του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεος ινα τους σοφους καταισχυνη και τα ασθενη του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεος ινα καταισχυνη τα ισχυρα
but the foolish things of this world hath God elected, that he might confound the wise; and the feeble things of the world hath God elected, that he might confound the mighty;
28 και τα αγενη του κοσμου και τα εξουθενημενα εξελεξατο ο θεος και τα μη οντα ινα τα οντα καταργηση
and the ignoble things of the world, and the despicable, hath God elected, and the things that are not, to bring to nought the things which are,
29 οπως μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον του θεου
that no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 εξ αυτου δε υμεις εστε εν χριστω ιησου ος εγενηθη ημιν σοφια απο θεου δικαιοσυνη τε και αγιασμος και απολυτρωσις
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who hath been made to us of God wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 ινα καθως γεγραπται ο καυχωμενος εν κυριω καυχασθω
that, as it is written, “He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”
