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, the 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 congregation of God which is in Corinth, sanctified by Christ Jesus, called saints; with all, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
3 χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
favor and peace be with you 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 give thanks to my God always in respect of you; on account of the favor of God, which was given to you through Jesus Christ;
5 οτι εν παντι επλουτισθητε εν αυτω εν παντι λογω και παση γνωσει
that you were enriched with every gift, by him; even with all speech, and all knowledge,
6 καθως το μαρτυριον του χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν
just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you:
7 ωστε υμας μη υστερεισθαι εν μηδενι χαρισματι απεκδεχομενους την αποκαλυψιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the full manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
8 ος και βεβαιωσει υμας εως τελους ανεγκλητους εν τη ημερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
who will confirm you till the end, without accusation 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, brethren, I beseech you 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 been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by some 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
And I mention this, that each of you 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 immersed into the name of Paul?
14 ευχαριστω τω θεω οτι ουδενα υμων εβαπτισα ει μη κρισπον και γαιον
I give thanks to God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius;
15 ινα μη τις ειπη οτι εις το εμον ονομα εβαπτισα
lest any one should say that I immersed into my own name.
16 εβαπτισα δε και τον στεφανα οικον λοιπον ουκ οιδα ει τινα αλλον εβαπτισα
And I immersed also the family 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 did not send me to immerse, but to proclaim the glad tidings; not, however, with wisdom of speech, that the cross of Christ might not be deprived of its efficacy.
18 ο λογος γαρ ο του σταυρου τοις μεν απολλυμενοις μωρια εστιν τοις δε σωζομενοις ημιν δυναμις θεου εστιν
For this doctrine (the doctrine of the cross) is, indeed, foolishness to the destroyed; 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
Therefore, it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will set aside the knowledge 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 the scribe? where the disputers of this world? Has not God shown the wisdom of this world to be folly? (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, when, in the wisdom of God, the world, through wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, through the foolishness of this proclamation, to save them who believe.
22 επειδη και ιουδαιοι σημειον αιτουσιν και ελληνες σοφιαν ζητουσιν
And though the Jews demand a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom;
23 ημεις δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον ιουδαιοις μεν σκανδαλον ελλησιν δε μωριαν
yet we proclaim a crucified Christ: 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 them 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 the calling of you, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
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 of the world to put the wise to shame; and the weak God has chosen to put the strong to shame;
28 και τα αγενη του κοσμου και τα εξουθενημενα εξελεξατο ο θεος και τα μη οντα ινα τα οντα καταργηση
the ignoble of the world, and the despised, God has chosen; nay, those that are nothing, to reduce to nothing those that are;
29 οπως μη καυχησεται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον αυτου
that not flesh might boast in his presence.
30 εξ αυτου δε υμεις εστε εν χριστω ιησου ος εγενηθη ημιν σοφια απο θεου δικαιοσυνη τε και αγιασμος και απολυτρωσις
Of him, therefore, you are in Christ Jesus, who is become to us wisdom from God, justification, also, and sanctification, and redemption.
31 ινα καθως γεγραπται ο καυχωμενος εν κυριω καυχασθω
So that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
