< 1 Corinthians 1 >
1 Paul a called apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God and Sosthenes the brother
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:
3 Grace to you and peace from God Father of us 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
5 for in everything you have been enriched in Him in all speech and in all knowledge,
6 even as the testimony about 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;
8 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 you were called into fellowship with the Son of Him Jesus Christ the Lord of us.
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.
11 It was shown for to me concerning you, brothers of mine, by those of Chloe that quarrels among you there are.
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.
13 Has been divided Christ? Surely not Paul was crucified for you? Or into the name of Paul were you baptized?
14 I thank God that no [one] of you I baptized only except Crispus and Gaius,
15 so that not anyone may say that into my name (you were baptized. *N+KO)
16 I baptized now also the of Stephanas household; as to the rest not I know whether any other I baptized.
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.
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.
19 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 [the] scribe? Where [the] debater of the age this? Surely has made foolish God the wisdom of the world (this? *k) (aiōn )
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;
22 Seeing that both Jews (signs *N+KO) ask for and Greeks wisdom seek,
23 we ourselves however preach Christ crucified, to [the] Jews indeed a stumbling block (to Gentiles *N+KO) however foolishness
24 to them however to those called, Jews both and to Greeks, Christ of God [the] power and of God [the] wisdom.
25 For the foolishness of God wiser than men is and the weakness of God stronger than men (is. *k)
26 Consider for the calling of you, brothers, that not many wise according to flesh [were], not many powerful, 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,
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,
29 so that not may boast all flesh before (God. *N+KO)
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,
31 in order that even as it has been written: The [one] boasting in [the] Lord he should boast.
