Corinthios I 1

1 Paulus vocatus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Sosthenes frater,

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

2 Ecclesiæ Dei, quæ est Corinthi, sanctificatis in Christo Iesu, vocatis sanctis, cum omnibus, qui invocant nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi, in omni loco ipsorum, et nostro.

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

3 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei, quæ data est vobis in Christo Iesu:

I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

5 quod in omnibus divites facti estis in illo, in omni verbo, et in omni scientia:

that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge;

6 sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis:

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia, expectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Iesu Christi,

so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8 qui et confirmabit vos usque in finem sine crimine, in die adventus Domini nostri Iesu Christi.

who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye be] unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Fidelis Deus: per quem vocati estis in societatem filii eius Iesu Christi Domini nostri.

God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Obsecro autem vos fratres per nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi: ut idipsum dicatis omnes, et non sint in vobis schismata: sitis autem perfecti in eodem sensu, et in eadem sententia.

Now I beseech you, brethren, through 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 perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11 Significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab iis, qui sunt Chloes, quia contentiones sunt inter vos.

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

12 Hoc autem dico, quod unusquisque vestrum dicit: Ego quidem sum Pauli: ego autem Apollo: ego vero Cephæ: ego autem Christi.

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

13 Divisus est Christus? Numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis? aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis?

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

14 Gratias ago Deo, quod neminem vestrum baptizavi, nisi Crispum, et Caium:

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

15 nequis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati estis.

lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name.

16 Baptizavi autem et Stephanæ domum: ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim.

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

17 Non enim misit me Christus baptizare, sed evangelizare: non in sapientia verbi, ut non evacuetur crux Christi.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

18 Verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est: iis autem, qui salvi fiunt, id est nobis, Dei virtus est.

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

19 Scriptum est enim: Perdam sapientiam sapientium, et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought.

20 Ubi sapiens? ubi scriba? ubi conquisitor huius sæculi? Nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam huius mundi? (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 the world? (aiōn g165)

21 Nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum: placuit Deo per stultitiam prædicationis salvos facere credentes.

For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe.

22 Quoniam et Iudæi signa petunt, et Græci sapientiam quærunt:

Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:

23 nos autem prædicamus Christum crucifixum: Iudæis quidem scandalum, Gentibus autem stultitiam,

but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;

24 ipsis autem vocatis Iudæis, atque Græcis Christum Dei virtutem, et Dei sapientia:

but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 quia quod stultum est Dei, sapientius est hominibus: et quod infirmum est Dei, fortius est hominibus.

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

26 Videte enim vocationem vestram fratres, quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem, non multi potentes, non multi nobiles:

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

27 sed quæ stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat sapientes: et infirma mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat fortia:

but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

28 et ignobilia mundi, et contemptibilia elegit Deus, et ea, quæ non sunt, ut ea quæ sunt destrueret:

and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:

29 ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu eius.

that no flesh should glory before God.

30 Ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Iesu, qui factus est nobis sapientia a Deo, et iustitia, et sanctificatio, et redemptio:

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

31 ut quemadmodum scriptum est: Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur.

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