1 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through God’s will, —and Sosthenes the brother, —

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

2 Unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, —with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place, —their Lord and ours:

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:

3 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.

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

4 I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto you in Christ Jesus, —

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

5 That, in everything, ye have been enriched in him—in all discourse and in all knowledge;

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

6 Even as, the witness of the Christ, hath been confirmed in you,

even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed in you,

7 So that ye come short in no gift of favour, —ardently awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:

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

8 Who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable in the day of our Lord Jesus [Christ]:

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

9 Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

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

10 But I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, —that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly joined together—in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

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.

11 For it hath been signified unto me, concerning you, my brethren, —by them who are of [the household of] Chloe, —that there are strifes among you,

It was shown for to me concerning you, brothers of mine, by those of Chloe that quarrels among you there are.

12 Now I mean this, —that, each one of you, is saying—I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ:

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.

13 The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed?

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

14 I give thanks, that, none of you, did I immerse—save Crispus and Gaius,

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

15 Lest any should say—into my own name, I immersed:

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

16 Yea! I immersed the house of Stephanas also, —besides, I know not whether, anyone else, I immersed.

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

17 For Christ sent me not, to be immersing, but to be telling the good news, —not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ.

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.

18 For, the discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved—unto us, it is, God’s power.

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

19 For it is written—I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside.

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

20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

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)

21 For, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well-pleased—through the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, to save them that believe.

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;

22 Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek,

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

23 Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified, —unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness;

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

24 But, unto the called themselves—both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God’s power, and, God’s wisdom.

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

25 Because, God’s foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God’s weak thing, mightier than men.

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

26 For be looking at the calling of you, brethren, —that [there were] not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born:

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

27 On the contrary—the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty,

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,

28 And, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, —[and] the things that are not, —that, the things that are, he might bring to nought;

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,

29 So that no flesh should boast before God.

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

30 But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God, —both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

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,

31 In order that, even as it is written—He that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.

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