1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
παυλοσ κλητοσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου δια θεληματοσ θεου και σωσθενησ ο αδελφοσ
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
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
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντοτε περι υμων επι τη χαριτι του θεου τη δοθειση υμιν εν χριστω ιησου
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
οτι εν παντι επλουτισθητε εν αυτω εν παντι λογω και παση γνωσει
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
καθωσ το μαρτυριον του χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
ωστε υμασ μη υστερεισθαι εν μηδενι χαρισματι απεκδεχομενουσ την αποκαλυψιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
οσ και βεβαιωσει υμασ εωσ τελουσ ανεγκλητουσ εν τη ημερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
πιστοσ ο θεοσ δι ου εκληθητε εισ κοινωνιαν του υιου αυτου ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
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
11 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.
εδηλωθη γαρ μοι περι υμων αδελφοι μου υπο των χλοησ οτι εριδεσ εν υμιν εισιν
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
λεγω δε τουτο οτι εκαστοσ υμων λεγει εγω μεν ειμι παυλου εγω δε απολλω εγω δε κηφα εγω δε χριστου
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
μεμερισται ο χριστοσ μη παυλοσ εσταυρωθη υπερ υμων η εισ το ονομα παυλου εβαπτισθητε
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
ευχαριστω τω θεω οτι ουδενα υμων εβαπτισα ει μη κρισπον και γαιον
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
ινα μη τισ ειπη οτι εισ το εμον ονομα εβαπτισα
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
εβαπτισα δε και τον στεφανα οικον λοιπον ουκ οιδα ει τινα αλλον εβαπτισα
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.
ου γαρ απεστειλεν με χριστοσ βαπτιζειν αλλ ευαγγελιζεσθαι ουκ εν σοφια λογου ινα μη κενωθη ο σταυροσ του χριστου
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
ο λογοσ γαρ ο του σταυρου τοισ μεν απολλυμενοισ μωρια εστιν τοισ δε σωζομενοισ ημιν δυναμισ θεου εστιν
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
γεγραπται γαρ απολω την σοφιαν των σοφων και την συνεσιν των συνετων αθετησω
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
που σοφοσ που γραμματευσ που συζητητησ του αιωνοσ τουτου ουχι εμωρανεν ο θεοσ την σοφιαν του κοσμου τουτου (aiōn g165)
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
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
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
επειδη και ιουδαιοι σημειον αιτουσιν και ελληνεσ σοφιαν ζητουσιν
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
ημεισ δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον ιουδαιοισ μεν σκανδαλον ελλησιν δε μωριαν
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
αυτοισ δε τοισ κλητοισ ιουδαιοισ τε και ελλησιν χριστον θεου δυναμιν και θεου σοφιαν
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
οτι το μωρον του θεου σοφωτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν και το ασθενεσ του θεου ισχυροτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
βλεπετε γαρ την κλησιν υμων αδελφοι οτι ου πολλοι σοφοι κατα σαρκα ου πολλοι δυνατοι ου πολλοι ευγενεισ
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
αλλα τα μωρα του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεοσ ινα τουσ σοφουσ καταισχυνη και τα ασθενη του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεοσ ινα καταισχυνη τα ισχυρα
28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
και τα αγενη του κοσμου και τα εξουθενημενα εξελεξατο ο θεοσ και τα μη οντα ινα τα οντα καταργηση
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
οπωσ μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον του θεου
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
εξ αυτου δε υμεισ εστε εν χριστω ιησου οσ εγενηθη ημιν σοφια απο θεου δικαιοσυνη τε και αγιασμοσ και απολυτρωσισ
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
ινα καθωσ γεγραπται ο καυχωμενοσ εν κυριω καυχασθω
