1 Corinthians 1

1 Paul a called apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God and Sosthenes the brother

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

2 To the church of God which is being in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus called holy, together with all those calling on the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs (then *k) and ours:

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

3 Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank the God of mine always concerning you for the grace of God which having been given you in Christ Jesus

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

5 for in everything you have been enriched in Him in all speech and in all knowledge,

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

6 even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed in you,

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 so as for you not to be lacking in not one gift eagerly awaiting the revelation of the Lord of us Jesus Christ;

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

8 who also will sustain you to [the] end blameless in the day of the Lord of us Jesus Christ.

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

9 Faithful [is] God, through whom you were called into fellowship with the Son of Him Jesus Christ the Lord of us.

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

10 I exhort now you, brothers, through the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ that the same thing you may speak all and not there may be among you divisions, you may be however knit together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 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 It was shown for to me concerning you, brothers of mine, by those of Chloe that quarrels among you there are.

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 I mean now this, that each of you says; I myself indeed am of Paul, I myself however of Apollos, I myself however of Cephas, I myself however of Christ.

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

13 Has been divided Christ? Surely not Paul was crucified for you? Or into the name of Paul were you baptized?

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

14 I thank God that no [one] of you I baptized only except Crispus and Gaius,

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

15 so that not anyone may say that into my name (you were baptized. *N+KO)

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

16 I baptized now also the of Stephanas household; as to the rest not I know whether any other I baptized.

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

17 Not for sent me Christ to baptize but to evangelise; not in wisdom of discourse, that not may be emptied of power the cross of the Christ.

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

18 The message for of the cross to those indeed perishing foolishness is, to those however being saved to us power of God it is.

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 It has been written for: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.

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

20 Where [is the] wise? Where [the] scribe? Where [the] debater of the age this? Surely has made foolish God the wisdom of the world (this? *k) (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 Since for in the wisdom of God not knew the world through the wisdom God, was pleased God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those believing;

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 Seeing that both Jews (signs *N+KO) ask for and Greeks wisdom seek,

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

23 we ourselves however preach Christ crucified, to [the] Jews indeed a stumbling block (to Gentiles *N+KO) however foolishness

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

24 to them however to those called, Jews both and to Greeks, Christ of God [the] power and of God [the] wisdom.

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

25 For the foolishness of God wiser than men is and the weakness of God stronger than men (is. *k)

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

26 Consider for the calling of you, brothers, that not many wise according to flesh [were], not many powerful, not many of noble birth,

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

27 But the foolish things of the world has chosen God that He may shame the wise and the weak things of the world chose God that He may shame the strong,

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 and the low-born of the world and the [things] despised chose God, (and *ko) the [things] not being, that the [things] being He may annul,

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 so that not may boast all flesh before (God. *N+KO)

that no flesh might boast before God.

30 Out of Him however you yourselves are in Christ Jesus, who has been made wisdom unto us from God, righteousness and also sanctification and redemption,

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

31 in order that even as it has been written: The [one] boasting in [the] Lord he should boast.

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