Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 1

1 παυλοσ κλητοσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου δια θεληματοσ θεου και σωσθενησ ο αδελφοσ

Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,

2 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 τε και ημων

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

3 χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου

Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντοτε περι υμων επι τη χαριτι του θεου τη δοθειση υμιν εν χριστω ιησου

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

5 οτι εν παντι επλουτισθητε εν αυτω εν παντι λογω και παση γνωσει

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;

6 καθωσ το μαρτυριον του χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 ωστε υμασ μη υστερεισθαι εν μηδενι χαρισματι απεκδεχομενουσ την αποκαλυψιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

8 οσ και βεβαιωσει υμασ εωσ τελουσ ανεγκλητουσ εν τη ημερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

Who will also confirm you to the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 πιστοσ ο θεοσ δι ου εκληθητε εισ κοινωνιαν του υιου αυτου ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων

God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 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

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

11 εδηλωθη γαρ μοι περι υμων αδελφοι μου υπο των χλοησ οτι εριδεσ εν υμιν εισιν

For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them [who are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 λεγω δε τουτο οτι εκαστοσ υμων λεγει εγω μεν ειμι παυλου εγω δε απολλω εγω δε κηφα εγω δε χριστου

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 μεμερισται ο χριστοσ μη παυλοσ εσταυρωθη υπερ υμων η εισ το ονομα παυλου εβαπτισθητε

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

14 ευχαριστω τω θεω οτι ουδενα υμων εβαπτισα ει μη κρισπον και γαιον

I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

15 ινα μη τισ ειπη οτι εισ το εμον ονομα εβαπτισα

Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.

16 εβαπτισα δε και τον στεφανα οικον λοιπον ουκ οιδα ει τινα αλλον εβαπτισα

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17 ου γαρ απεστειλεν με χριστοσ βαπτιζειν αλλ ευαγγελιζεσθαι ουκ εν σοφια λογου ινα μη κενωθη ο σταυροσ του χριστου

For Christ hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

18 ο λογοσ γαρ ο του σταυρου τοισ μεν απολλυμενοισ μωρια εστιν τοισ δε σωζομενοισ ημιν δυναμισ θεου εστιν

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

19 γεγραπται γαρ απολω την σοφιαν των σοφων και την συνεσιν των συνετων αθετησω

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

20 που σοφοσ που γραμματευσ που συζητητησ του αιωνοσ τουτου ουχι εμωρανεν ο θεοσ την σοφιαν του κοσμου τουτου (aiōn g165)

Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 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

For when in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

22 επειδη και ιουδαιοι σημειον αιτουσιν και ελληνεσ σοφιαν ζητουσιν

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom:

23 ημεισ δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον ιουδαιοισ μεν σκανδαλον ελλησιν δε μωριαν

But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;

24 αυτοισ δε τοισ κλητοισ ιουδαιοισ τε και ελλησιν χριστον θεου δυναμιν και θεου σοφιαν

But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 οτι το μωρον του θεου σοφωτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν και το ασθενεσ του θεου ισχυροτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 βλεπετε γαρ την κλησιν υμων αδελφοι οτι ου πολλοι σοφοι κατα σαρκα ου πολλοι δυνατοι ου πολλοι ευγενεισ

For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are called]:

27 αλλα τα μωρα του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεοσ ινα τουσ σοφουσ καταισχυνη και τα ασθενη του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεοσ ινα καταισχυνη τα ισχυρα

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

28 και τα αγενη του κοσμου και τα εξουθενημενα εξελεξατο ο θεοσ και τα μη οντα ινα τα οντα καταργηση

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:

29 οπωσ μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον του θεου

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

30 εξ αυτου δε υμεισ εστε εν χριστω ιησου οσ εγενηθη ημιν σοφια απο θεου δικαιοσυνη τε και αγιασμοσ και απολυτρωσισ

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31 ινα καθωσ γεγραπται ο καυχωμενοσ εν κυριω καυχασθω

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
