Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 3
1 και εγω αδελφοι ουκ ηδυνηθην υμιν λαλησαι ως πνευματικοις αλλ ως σαρκικοις ως νηπιοις εν χριστω
And so, brothers, I could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as infants in Christ.
2 γαλα υμας εποτισα και ου βρωμα ουπω γαρ ηδυνασθε αλλ ουτε ετι νυν δυνασθε
I fed you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet able to receive it. Even now you are still not able,
3 ετι γαρ σαρκικοι εστε οπου γαρ εν υμιν ζηλος και ερις και διχοστασιαι ουχι σαρκικοι εστε και κατα ανθρωπον περιπατειτε
for you are still of the flesh. For where there is jealousy, strife, and division among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving like mere men?
4 οταν γαρ λεγη τις εγω μεν ειμι παυλου ετερος δε εγω απολλω ουχι σαρκικοι εστε
For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another says, “I follow Apollos,” are you not of the flesh?
5 τις ουν εστιν παυλος τις δε απολλως αλλ η διακονοι δι ων επιστευσατε και εκαστω ως ο κυριος εδωκεν
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each?
6 εγω εφυτευσα απολλως εποτισεν αλλ ο θεος ηυξανεν
I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
7 ωστε ουτε ο φυτευων εστιν τι ουτε ο ποτιζων αλλ ο αυξανων θεος
So then, neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but only God who gives the growth.
8 ο φυτευων δε και ο ποτιζων εν εισιν εκαστος δε τον ιδιον μισθον ληψεται κατα τον ιδιον κοπον
He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 θεου γαρ εσμεν συνεργοι θεου γεωργιον θεου οικοδομη εστε
For we are fellow workers of God; you are God's field, God's building.
10 κατα την χαριν του θεου την δοθεισαν μοι ως σοφος αρχιτεκτων θεμελιον τεθεικα αλλος δε εποικοδομει εκαστος δε βλεπετω πως εποικοδομει
According to the grace of God given to me, like a wise master builder I have laid a foundation, and another builds upon it. But each person must be careful how he builds upon it.
11 θεμελιον γαρ αλλον ουδεις δυναται θειναι παρα τον κειμενον ος εστιν ιησους χριστος
For no one can lay a foundation other than the one that has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 ει δε τις εποικοδομει επι τον θεμελιον τουτον χρυσον αργυρον λιθους τιμιους ξυλα χορτον καλαμην
If anyone builds upon this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
13 εκαστου το εργον φανερον γενησεται η γαρ ημερα δηλωσει οτι εν πυρι αποκαλυπτεται και εκαστου το εργον οποιον εστιν το πυρ δοκιμασει
his work will become evident, for the Day will make it clear, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire will test each person's work and reveal what sort of work it is.
14 ει τινος το εργον μενει ο επωκοδομησεν μισθον ληψεται
If the work that anyone has built remains, he will receive a reward.
15 ει τινος το εργον κατακαησεται ζημιωθησεται αυτος δε σωθησεται ουτως δε ως δια πυρος
If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; yet he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
16 ουκ οιδατε οτι ναος θεου εστε και το πνευμα του θεου οικει εν υμιν
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 ει τις τον ναον του θεου φθειρει φθερει τουτον ο θεος ο γαρ ναος του θεου αγιος εστιν οιτινες εστε υμεις
If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which is what you are.
18 μηδεις εαυτον εξαπατατω ει τις δοκει σοφος ειναι εν υμιν εν τω αιωνι τουτω μωρος γενεσθω ινα γενηται σοφος (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become foolish so that he may become truly wise. (aiōn g165)
19 η γαρ σοφια του κοσμου τουτου μωρια παρα τω θεω εστιν γεγραπται γαρ ο δρασσομενος τους σοφους εν τη πανουργια αυτων
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. As it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,”
20 και παλιν κυριος γινωσκει τους διαλογισμους των σοφων οτι εισιν ματαιοι
and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
21 ωστε μηδεις καυχασθω εν ανθρωποις παντα γαρ υμων εστιν
So then, let no one boast in men. For everything belongs to you,
22 ειτε παυλος ειτε απολλως ειτε κηφας ειτε κοσμος ειτε ζωη ειτε θανατος ειτε ενεστωτα ειτε μελλοντα παντα υμων εστιν
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world, or life or death, or things present or things to come—everything belongs to you,
23 υμεις δε χριστου χριστος δε θεου
and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
