Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 1
1 παυλος κλητος αποστολος ιησου χριστου δια θεληματος θεου και σωσθενης ο αδελφος
Paul, called an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes,
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 υμων
to the church of God being in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, along with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours:
3 χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the 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 in your behalf, for the grace of God given unto you in Christ Jesus;
5 οτι εν παντι επλουτισθητε εν αυτω εν παντι λογω και παση γνωσει
because in everything you are enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge;
6 καθως το μαρτυριον του χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν
as the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you;
7 ωστε υμας μη υστερεισθαι εν μηδενι χαρισματι απεκδεχομενους την αποκαλυψιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
so that you are deficient in no spiritual gift; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
8 ος και βεβαιωσει υμας εως τελους ανεγκλητους εν τη ημερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
who will also establish you unblamable unto the end 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
God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.
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
But I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you may all speak the same things, and that there may be no schisms among you; but you may be perfected in the same mind and in the same disposition.
11 εδηλωθη γαρ μοι περι υμων αδελφοι μου υπο των χλοης οτι εριδες εν υμιν εισιν
For it has been revealed to me concerning you, my brethren, by those who are of the house 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
And I say this, that each one says, I indeed am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I 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 you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 ευχαριστω τω θεω οτι ουδενα υμων εβαπτισα ει μη κρισπον και γαιον
I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;
15 ινα μη τις ειπη οτι εις το εμον ονομα εβαπτισα
in order that no one may say that you are baptized in my name.
16 εβαπτισα δε και τον στεφανα οικον λοιπον ουκ οιδα ει τινα αλλον εβαπτισα
But I baptized also the family of Stephanas: besides, I know not if I baptized any other.
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 baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with the wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made of none effect.
18 ο λογος γαρ ο του σταυρου τοις μεν απολλυμενοις μωρια εστιν τοις δε σωζομενοις ημιν δυναμις θεου εστιν
For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those 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 has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the understanding of the intelligent.
20 που σοφος που γραμματευς που συζητητης του αιωνος τουτου ουχι εμωρανεν ο θεος την σοφιαν του κοσμου τουτου (aiōn g165)
Where is the wise man? where is the scribe? where is the investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness? (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 wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
22 επειδη και ιουδαιοι σημειον αιτουσιν και ελληνες σοφιαν ζητουσιν
Since indeed the Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks seek after wisdom;
23 ημεις δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον ιουδαιοις μεν σκανδαλον ελλησιν δε μωριαν
but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness;
24 αυτοις δε τοις κλητοις ιουδαιοις τε και ελλησιν χριστον θεου δυναμιν και θεου σοφιαν
but to you who are called, both Jews and 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
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the 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 you see your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many influential, not many high-born:
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 God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong;
28 και τα αγενη του κοσμου και τα εξουθενημενα εξελεξατο ο θεος και τα μη οντα ινα τα οντα καταργηση
and God has chosen the base-born of the world, and those of no reputation, the things which are not, that He may set at nought the things which are,
29 οπως μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον του θεου
in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God.
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 of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
31 ινα καθως γεγραπται ο καυχωμενος εν κυριω καυχασθω
in order that, as it has been written, Let him that glorieth glory in the Lord.
