1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Paulus vocatus Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Sosthenes frater,
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:
ecclesiæ Dei, quæ est Corinthi, sanctificatis in Christo Jesu, vocatis sanctis, cum omnibus qui invocant nomen Domini nostri Jesu Christi, in omni loco ipsorum et nostro.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei, quæ data est vobis in Christo Jesu:
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
quod in omnibus divites facti estis in illo, in omni verbo, et in omni scientia.
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
Sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis:
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia, exspectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Jesu Christi,
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
qui et confirmabit vos usque in finem sine crimine, in die adventus Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Fidelis Deus: per quem vocati estis in societatem filii ejus Jesu Christi Domini nostri.
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.
Obsecro autem vos fratres per nomen Domini nostri Jesu Christi: ut idipsum dicatis omnes, et non sint in vobis schismata: sitis autem perfecti in eodem sensu, et in eadem sententia.
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.
Significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab iis, qui sunt Chloës, quia contentiones sunt inter vos.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
Hoc autem dico, quod unusquisque vestrum dicit: Ego quidem sum Pauli: ego autem Apollo: ego vero Cephæ: ego autem Christi.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Divisus est Christus? numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis? aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Gratias ago Deo, quod neminem vestrum baptizavi, nisi Crispum et Caium:
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati estis.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
Baptizavi autem et Stephanæ domum: ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim.
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.
Non enim misit me Christus baptizare, sed evangelizare: non in sapientia verbi, ut non evacuetur crux Christi.
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.
Verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est: iis autem qui salvi fiunt, id est nobis, Dei virtus est.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Scriptum est enim: Perdam sapientiam sapientium, et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo.
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)
Ubi sapiens? ubi scriba? ubi conquisitor hujus sæculi? Nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam hujus mundi? (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.
Nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum: placuit Deo per stultitiam prædicationis salvos facere credentes.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Quoniam et Judæi signa petunt, et Græci sapientiam quærunt:
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
nos autem prædicamus Christum crucifixum: Judæis quidem scandalum, gentibus autem stultitiam,
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
ipsis autem vocatis Judæis, atque Græcis Christum Dei virtutem, et Dei sapientia:
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
quia quod stultum est Dei, sapientius est hominibus: et quod infirmum est Dei, fortius est hominibus.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
Videte enim vocationem vestram, fratres, quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem, non multi potentes, non multi nobiles:
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.
sed quæ stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat sapientes: et infirma mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat fortia:
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,
et ignobilia mundi, et contemptibilia elegit Deus, et ea quæ non sunt, ut ea quæ sunt destrueret:
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu ejus.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
Ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Jesu, qui factus est nobis sapientia a Deo, et justitia, et sanctificatio, et redemptio:
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
ut quemadmodum scriptum est: Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur.
