1 yāvantaḥ pavitrā lōkāḥ svēṣām asmākañca vasatisthānēṣvasmākaṁ prabhō ryīśōḥ khrīṣṭasya nāmnā prārthayantē taiḥ sahāhūtānāṁ khrīṣṭēna yīśunā pavitrīkr̥tānāṁ lōkānāṁ ya īśvarīyadharmmasamājaḥ karinthanagarē vidyatē

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

2 taṁ pratīśvarasyēcchayāhūtō yīśukhrīṣṭasya prēritaḥ paulaḥ sōsthinināmā bhrātā ca patraṁ likhati|

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 asmākaṁ pitrēśvarēṇa prabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭēna ca prasādaḥ śāntiśca yuṣmabhyaṁ dīyatāṁ|

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

4 īśvarō yīśukhrīṣṭēna yuṣmān prati prasādaṁ prakāśitavān, tasmādahaṁ yuṣmannimittaṁ sarvvadā madīyēśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|

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

5 khrīṣṭasambandhīyaṁ sākṣyaṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhyē yēna prakārēṇa sapramāṇam abhavat

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

6 tēna yūyaṁ khrīṣṭāt sarvvavidhavaktr̥tājñānādīni sarvvadhanāni labdhavantaḥ|

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 tatō'smatprabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya punarāgamanaṁ pratīkṣamāṇānāṁ yuṣmākaṁ kasyāpi varasyābhāvō na bhavati|

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

8 aparam asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya divasē yūyaṁ yannirddōṣā bhavēta tadarthaṁ saēva yāvadantaṁ yuṣmān susthirān kariṣyati|

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

9 ya īśvaraḥ svaputrasyāsmatprabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasyāṁśinaḥ karttuṁ yuṣmān āhūtavān sa viśvasanīyaḥ|

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

10 hē bhrātaraḥ, asmākaṁ prabhuyīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā yuṣmān vinayē'haṁ sarvvai ryuṣmābhirēkarūpāṇi vākyāni kathyantāṁ yuṣmanmadhyē bhinnasaṅghātā na bhavantu manōvicārayōraikyēna yuṣmākaṁ siddhatvaṁ bhavatu|

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 hē mama bhrātarō yuṣmanmadhyē vivādā jātā iti vārttāmahaṁ klōyyāḥ parijanai rjñāpitaḥ|

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 mamābhiprētamidaṁ yuṣmākaṁ kaścit kaścid vadati paulasya śiṣyō'ham āpallōḥ śiṣyō'haṁ kaiphāḥ śiṣyō'haṁ khrīṣṭasya śiṣyō'hamiti ca|

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 khrīṣṭasya kiṁ vibhēdaḥ kr̥taḥ? paulaḥ kiṁ yuṣmatkr̥tē kruśē hataḥ? paulasya nāmnā vā yūyaṁ kiṁ majjitāḥ?

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

14 kriṣpagāyau vinā yuṣmākaṁ madhyē'nyaḥ kō'pi mayā na majjita iti hētōraham īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|

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

15 ētēna mama nāmnā mānavā mayā majjitā iti vaktuṁ kēnāpi na śakyatē|

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

16 aparaṁ stiphānasya parijanā mayā majjitāstadanyaḥ kaścid yanmayā majjitastadahaṁ na vēdmi|

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

17 khrīṣṭēnāhaṁ majjanārthaṁ na prēritaḥ kintu susaṁvādasya pracārārthamēva; sō'pi vākpaṭutayā mayā na pracāritavyaḥ, yatastathā pracāritē khrīṣṭasya kruśē mr̥tyuḥ phalahīnō bhaviṣyati|

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 yatō hētō ryē vinaśyanti tē tāṁ kruśasya vārttāṁ pralāpamiva manyantē kiñca paritrāṇaṁ labhamānēṣvasmāsu sā īśvarīyaśaktisvarūpā|

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 tasmāditthaṁ likhitamāstē, jñānavatāntu yat jñānaṁ tanmayā nāśayiṣyatē| vilōpayiṣyatē tadvad buddhi rbaddhimatāṁ mayā||

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

20 jñānī kutra? śāstrī vā kutra? ihalōkasya vicāratatparō vā kutra? ihalōkasya jñānaṁ kimīśvarēṇa mōhīkr̥taṁ nahi? (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 īśvarasya jñānād ihalōkasya mānavāḥ svajñānēnēśvarasya tattvabōdhaṁ na prāptavantastasmād īśvaraḥ pracārarūpiṇā pralāpēna viśvāsinaḥ paritrātuṁ rōcitavān|

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 yihūdīyalōkā lakṣaṇāni didr̥kṣanti bhinnadēśīyalōkāstu vidyāṁ mr̥gayantē,

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

23 vayañca kruśē hataṁ khrīṣṭaṁ pracārayāmaḥ| tasya pracārō yihūdīyai rvighna iva bhinnadēśīyaiśca pralāpa iva manyatē,

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

24 kintu yihūdīyānāṁ bhinnadēśīyānāñca madhyē yē āhūtāstēṣu sa khrīṣṭa īśvarīyaśaktirivēśvarīyajñānamiva ca prakāśatē|

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

25 yata īśvarē yaḥ pralāpa ārōpyatē sa mānavātiriktaṁ jñānamēva yacca daurbbalyam īśvara ārōpyatē tat mānavātiriktaṁ balamēva|

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

26 hē bhrātaraḥ, āhūtayuṣmadgaṇō yaṣmābhirālōkyatāṁ tanmadhyē sāṁsārikajñānēna jñānavantaḥ parākramiṇō vā kulīnā vā bahavō na vidyantē|

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

27 yata īśvarō jñānavatastrapayituṁ mūrkhalōkān rōcitavān balāni ca trapayitum īśvarō durbbalān rōcitavān|

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 tathā varttamānalōkān saṁsthitibhraṣṭān karttum īśvarō jagatō'pakr̥ṣṭān hēyān avarttamānāṁścābhirōcitavān|

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 tata īśvarasya sākṣāt kēnāpyātmaślāghā na karttavyā|

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

30 yūyañca tasmāt khrīṣṭē yīśau saṁsthitiṁ prāptavantaḥ sa īśvarād yuṣmākaṁ jñānaṁ puṇyaṁ pavitratvaṁ muktiśca jātā|

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

31 ataēva yadvad likhitamāstē tadvat, yaḥ kaścit ślāghamānaḥ syāt ślāghatāṁ prabhunā sa hi|

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