1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called as an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God; and Sosthenes, a brother:
παυλος κλητος αποστολος {VAR1: ιησου χριστου } {VAR2: χριστου ιησου } δια θεληματος θεου και σωσθενης ο αδελφος
2 to the Church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints with all who are invoking the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs and of 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 και ημων
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
4 I give thanks to my God continuously for you because of the grace of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus.
ευχαριστω τω θεω {VAR2: μου } παντοτε περι υμων επι τη χαριτι του θεου τη δοθειση υμιν εν χριστω ιησου
5 By that grace, in all things, you have become wealthy in him, in every word and in all knowledge.
οτι εν παντι επλουτισθητε εν αυτω εν παντι λογω και παση γνωσει
6 And so, the testimony of Christ has been strengthened in you.
καθως το μαρτυριον του χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν
7 In this way, nothing is lacking to you in any grace, as you await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ωστε υμας μη υστερεισθαι εν μηδενι χαρισματι απεκδεχομενους την αποκαλυψιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
8 And he, too, will strengthen you, even until the end, without guilt, until the day of the advent 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 him, you have been 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 And so, I beg you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that every one of you speak in the same way, and that there be no schisms among you. So may you become perfect, with the same mind and with 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 indicated to me, about you, my brothers, by those who are with Chloes, that there are contentions among you.
εδηλωθη γαρ μοι περι υμων αδελφοι μου υπο των χλοης οτι εριδες εν υμιν εισιν
12 Now I say this because each of you is saying: “Certainly, I am of Paul;” “But I am of Apollo;” “Truly, I am of Cephas;” as well as: “I am of Christ.”
λεγω δε τουτο οτι εκαστος υμων λεγει εγω μεν ειμι παυλου εγω δε απολλω εγω δε κηφα εγω δε χριστου
13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
μεμερισται ο χριστος μη παυλος εσταυρωθη υπερ υμων η εις το ονομα παυλου εβαπτισθητε
14 I give thanks to God that I have baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
ευχαριστω {VAR2: [τω θεω] } οτι ουδενα υμων εβαπτισα ει μη κρισπον και γαιον
15 lest anyone say that you have been baptized in my name.
ινα μη τις ειπη οτι εις το εμον ονομα εβαπτισθητε
16 And I also baptized the household of Stephanus. Other than these, I do not recall if I baptized any others.
εβαπτισα δε και τον στεφανα οικον λοιπον ουκ οιδα ει τινα αλλον εβαπτισα
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to evangelize: not through the wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ become empty.
ου γαρ απεστειλεν με χριστος βαπτιζειν αλλα ευαγγελιζεσθαι ουκ εν σοφια λογου ινα μη κενωθη ο σταυρος του χριστου
18 For the Word of the Cross is certainly foolishness to those who are perishing. But to those who have been saved, that is, to us, 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 has been written: “I will perish the wisdom of the wise, and I will reject the discernment of the prudent.”
γεγραπται γαρ απολω την σοφιαν των σοφων και την συνεσιν των συνετων αθετησω
20 Where are the wise? Where are the scribes? Where are the truth-seekers of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of this world into foolishness? (aiōn g165)
που σοφος που γραμματευς που συζητητης του αιωνος τουτου ουχι εμωρανεν ο θεος την σοφιαν του κοσμου (aiōn g165)
21 For the world did not know God through wisdom, and so, in the wisdom of God, it pleased God to accomplish the salvation of believers, through the foolishness of our preaching.
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 the Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom.
επειδη και ιουδαιοι σημεια αιτουσιν και ελληνες σοφιαν ζητουσιν
23 But we are preaching Christ crucified. Certainly, to the Jews, this is a scandal, and to the Gentiles, this is foolishness.
ημεις δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον ιουδαιοις μεν σκανδαλον εθνεσιν δε μωριαν
24 But to those who have been called, Jews as well as Greeks, the Christ is the virtue of God and the wisdom of God.
αυτοις δε τοις κλητοις ιουδαιοις τε και ελλησιν χριστον θεου δυναμιν και θεου σοφιαν
25 For what is foolishness to God is considered wise by men, and that which is weakness to God is considered strong by men.
οτι το μωρον του θεου σοφωτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν και το ασθενες του θεου ισχυροτερον των ανθρωπων
26 So take care of your vocation, brothers. For not many are wise according to the flesh, not many are powerful, not many are noble.
βλεπετε γαρ την κλησιν υμων αδελφοι οτι ου πολλοι σοφοι κατα σαρκα ου πολλοι δυνατοι ου πολλοι ευγενεις
27 But God has chosen the foolish of the world, so that he may confound the wise. And God has chosen the weak of the world, so that he may confound the strong.
αλλα τα μωρα του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεος ινα καταισχυνη τους σοφους και τα ασθενη του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεος ινα καταισχυνη τα ισχυρα
28 And God has chosen the ignoble and contemptible of the world, those who are nothing, so that he may reduce to nothing those who are something.
και τα αγενη του κοσμου και τα εξουθενημενα εξελεξατο ο θεος {VAR1: [και] } τα μη οντα ινα τα οντα καταργηση
29 So then, nothing that is of the flesh should glory in his sight.
οπως μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον του θεου
30 But you are of him in Christ Jesus, who was made by God to be our wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption.
εξ αυτου δε υμεις εστε εν χριστω ιησου ος εγενηθη σοφια ημιν απο θεου δικαιοσυνη τε και αγιασμος και απολυτρωσις
31 And so, in the same way, it was written: “Whoever glories, should glory in the Lord.”
ινα καθως γεγραπται ο καυχωμενος εν κυριω καυχασθω
