Corinthios I 1

1 Paulus vocatus apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei et Sosthenes frater

Paul, called to be an apostle of Messiah Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2 ecclesiae Dei quae est Corinthi sanctificatis in Christo Iesu vocatis sanctis cum omnibus qui invocant nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi in omni loco ipsorum et nostro

to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Messiah Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours:

3 gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.

4 gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei quae data est vobis in Christo Iesu

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Messiah Jesus;

5 quia in omnibus divites facti estis in illo in omni verbo et in omni scientia

that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

6 sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis

even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:

7 ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia expectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Iesu Christi

so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah to be revealed;

8 qui et confirmabit vos usque ad finem sine crimine in die adventus Domini nostri Iesu Christi

who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.

9 fidelis Deus per quem vocati estis in societatem Filii eius Iesu Christi Domini nostri

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus (the) Messiah, our Lord.

10 obsecro autem vos fratres per nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi ut id ipsum dicatis omnes et non sint in vobis scismata sitis autem perfecti in eodem sensu et in eadem sententia

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.

11 significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab his qui sunt Chloes quia contentiones inter vos sunt

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

12 hoc autem dico quod unusquisque vestrum dicit ego quidem sum Pauli ego autem Apollo ego vero Cephae ego autem Christi

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Messiah."

13 divisus est Christus numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis

Is Messiah divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

14 gratias ago Deo quod neminem vestrum baptizavi nisi Crispum et Gaium

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati sitis

so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.

16 baptizavi autem et Stephanae domum ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim

(Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)

17 non enim misit me Christus baptizare sed evangelizare non in sapientia verbi ut non evacuetur crux Christi

For Messiah sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Messiah would not be made void.

18 verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est his autem qui salvi fiunt id est nobis virtus Dei est

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 scriptum est enim perdam sapientiam sapientium et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

20 ubi sapiens ubi scriba ubi conquisitor huius saeculi nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam huius mundi (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

21 nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum placuit Deo per stultitiam praedicationis salvos facere credentes

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

22 quoniam et Iudaei signa petunt et Graeci sapientiam quaerunt

For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,

23 nos autem praedicamus Christum crucifixum Iudaeis quidem scandalum gentibus autem stultitiam

but we preach Messiah crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,

24 ipsis autem vocatis Iudaeis atque Graecis Christum Dei virtutem et Dei sapientiam

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 quia quod stultum est Dei sapientius est hominibus et quod infirmum est Dei fortius est hominibus

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.

26 videte enim vocationem vestram fratres quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem non multi potentes non multi nobiles

For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.

27 sed quae stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus ut confundat sapientes et infirma mundi elegit Deus ut confundat fortia

But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.

28 et ignobilia mundi et contemptibilia elegit Deus et quae non sunt ut ea quae sunt destrueret

And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,

29 ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu eius

that no flesh might boast before God.

30 ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Iesu qui factus est sapientia nobis a Deo et iustitia et sanctificatio et redemptio

And because of him you are in Messiah Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 ut quemadmodum scriptum est qui gloriatur in Domino glorietur

so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
