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 my 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 in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

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

grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

I thank my God always on your account, for the grace of God which is given to you in Christ Jesus;

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

that you are enriched by him in every thing, in all speech, and in all knowledge,

6 καθως το μαρτυριον του χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν

even as the testimony concerning the Christ was con firmed among you,

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

so that you are deficient in no gift, while 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

He also will establish you even to the end, and make you 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

God is faithful, by whom you have been called into the fellowship of 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 beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you, but that you be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

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

For it has been made known to me concerning you, my brethren, by the family of Cloe, 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

I mean this: that each one of you says, I 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 the Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you immersed into the name of Paul?

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

I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

15 ινα μη τις ειπη οτι εις το εμον ονομα εβαπτισα

that no one may say that I immersed into my own name.

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

I did, indeed, immerse the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I immersed 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 immerse, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of the Christ should be deprived of its power.

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

For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness; 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 I will set aside the understanding of the prudent.

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 disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish 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 has pleased God, through the foolishness of what is preached, to save those who believe.

22 επειδη και ιουδαιοι σημειον αιτουσιν και ελληνες σοφιαν ζητουσιν

For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek for wisdom;

23 ημεις δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον ιουδαιοις μεν σκανδαλον ελλησιν δε μωριαν

but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks, foolishness:

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

but to those 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

For 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 not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble call you;

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 bring to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen, that he may put to shame the strong;

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 things that are despised, has God chosen, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are;

29 οπως μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον αυτου

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 you in Christ Jesus, who has become to us, from God, wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

31 ινα καθως γεγραπται ο καυχωμενος εν κυριω καυχασθω

that, as it is written: He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
