1 Corinthians 1

1 Paul called apostle Christ Jesus through/because of will/desire God and Sosthenes the/this/who brother

Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God--and our brother Sosthenes:

2 the/this/who assembly the/this/who God the/this/who to be in/on/among Corinth to sanctify in/on/among Christ Jesus called holy: saint with all the/this/who to call (on)/name the/this/who name the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ in/on/among all place it/s/he (and/both *k) and me

To the Church of God in Corinth, men and women consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ-- their Lord as well as ours.

3 grace you and peace away from God father me and lord: God Jesus Christ

May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 to thank the/this/who God me always about you upon/to/against the/this/who grace the/this/who God the/this/who to give you in/on/among Christ Jesus

I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--

5 that/since: since in/on/among all to enrich in/on/among it/s/he in/on/among all word and all knowledge

that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge.

6 as/just as the/this/who testimony the/this/who Christ to confirm in/on/among you

Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,

7 so you not to lack in/on/among nothing gift to expect the/this/who revelation the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ

so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

8 which and to confirm you until goal/tax irreproachable in/on/among the/this/who day the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ

who will also keep you stedfast to the very End, so that you will be free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 faithful the/this/who God through/because of which to call: call toward participation the/this/who son it/s/he Jesus Christ the/this/who lord: God me

God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.

10 to plead/comfort then you brother through/because of the/this/who name the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ in order that/to the/this/who it/s/he to say all and not to be in/on/among you split to be then to complete in/on/among the/this/who it/s/he mind and in/on/among the/this/who it/s/he resolution

Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony--all of you--and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.

11 to make clear for me about you brother me by/under: by the/this/who Chloe that/since: that quarrel in/on/among you to be

For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.

12 to say then this/he/she/it that/since: that each you to say I/we on the other hand to be Paul I/we then Apollos I/we then Cephas I/we then Christ

What I mean is that each of you is a partisan. One man says "I belong to Paul;" another "I belong to Apollos;" a third "I belong to Peter;" a fourth "I belong to Christ."

13 to divide the/this/who Christ not Paul to crucify above/for you or toward the/this/who name Paul to baptize

Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?

14 to thank the/this/who God that/since: that none you to baptize if: not not Crispus and Gaius

I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius--

15 in order that/to not one to say that/since: that toward the/this/who I/we name (to baptize *N+KO)

for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.

16 to baptize then and the/this/who Stephanas house: household henceforth no to know if one another to baptize

I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.

17 no for to send me Christ to baptize but to speak good news no in/on/among wisdom word in order that/to not to empty the/this/who cross the/this/who Christ

Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News; and not in merely wise words--lest the Cross of Christ should be deprived of its power.

18 the/this/who word for the/this/who the/this/who cross the/this/who on the other hand to destroy foolishness to be the/this/who then to save me power God to be

For the Message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are on the way to perdition, but it is the power of God to those whom He is saving.

19 to write for to destroy the/this/who wisdom the/this/who wise and the/this/who understanding the/this/who intelligent to reject

For so it stands written, "I will exhibit the nothingness of the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought."

20 where? wise where? scribe where? debater the/this/who an age: age this/he/she/it not! be foolish the/this/who God the/this/who wisdom the/this/who world (this/he/she/it *k) (aiōn g165)

Where is your wise man? Where your expounder of the Law? Where your investigator of the questions of this present age? Has not God shown the world's wisdom to be utter foolishness? (aiōn g165)

21 since for in/on/among the/this/who wisdom the/this/who God no to know the/this/who world through/because of the/this/who wisdom the/this/who God to delight the/this/who God through/because of the/this/who foolishness the/this/who preaching to save the/this/who to trust (in)

For after the world by its wisdom--as God in His wisdom had ordained--had failed to gain the knowledge of God, God was pleased, by the apparent foolishness of the Message which we preach, to save those who accepted it.

22 since and Jew (sign *N+KO) to ask and Greek, Gentile wisdom to seek

Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,

23 me then to preach Christ to crucify Jew on the other hand stumbling block (Gentiles *N+KO) then foolishness

while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,

24 it/s/he then the/this/who called Jew and/both and Greek, Gentile Christ God power and God wisdom

but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 that/since: since the/this/who foolish the/this/who God wise the/this/who a human to be and the/this/who weak the/this/who God strong the/this/who a human (to be *k)

Because that which the world deems foolish in God is wiser than men's wisdom, and that which it deems feeble in God is mightier than men's might.

26 to see for the/this/who calling you brother that/since: that no much wise according to flesh no much able no much of noble birth

For consider, brethren, God's call to you. Not many who are wise with merely human wisdom, not many of position and influence, not many of noble birth have been called.

27 but the/this/who foolish the/this/who world to select the/this/who God in order that/to to dishonor the/this/who wise and the/this/who weak the/this/who world to select the/this/who God in order that/to to dishonor the/this/who strong

But God has chosen the things which the world regards as foolish, in order to put its wise men to shame; and God has chosen the things which the world regards as destitute of influence, in order to put its powerful things to shame;

28 and the/this/who lowly the/this/who world and the/this/who to reject to select the/this/who God (and *ko) the/this/who not to be in order that/to the/this/who to be to abate

and the things which the world regards as base, and those which it sets utterly at nought--things that have no existence--God has chosen in order to reduce to nothing things that do exist;

29 that not to boast all flesh before the/this/who (God *N+KO)

to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God.

30 out from it/s/he then you to be in/on/among Christ Jesus which to be wisdom me away from God righteousness and/both and holiness and redemption

But you--and it is all God's doing--are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;

31 in order that/to as/just as to write the/this/who to boast in/on/among lord: God to boast

in order that it may be as Scripture says, "He who boasts--let his boast be in the Lord."
