ABP_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G* Paul, G2822 a chosen G652 apostle G* of Jesus G5547 Christ, G1223 by G2307 the will G2316 of God, G2532 and G* Sosthenes G3588 the G80 brother,

2 G3588 to the G1577 assembly G3588 G2316 of God, G3588 to the one G1510.6 being G1722 in G* Corinth, G37 having been sanctified G1722 in G5547 Christ G* Jesus, G2822 chosen G39 holy ones, G4862 with G3956 all G3588 the ones G1941 calling upon G3588 the G3686 name G3588 G2962 of our Lord G1473 G* Jesus G5547 Christ G1722 in G3956 every G5117 place, G1473 both theirs G5037 G2532 and G1473 ours.

3 G5484 Favor G1473 to you G2532 and G1515 peace G575 from G2316 God G3962 our father G1473 G2532 and G2962 the Lord G* Jesus G5547 Christ.

4 G2168 I give thanks G3588 to G2316 my God G1473 G3842 at all times G4012 for G1473 you, G1909 for G3588 the G5484 favor G3588 G2316 of God, G3588 to the one G1325 being given G1473 to you G1722 in G5547 Christ G* Jesus;

5 G3754 that G1722 in G3956 everything G4148 you were enriched G1722 in G1473 him G1722 in G3956 all G3056 word G2532 and G3956 in all G1108 knowledge;

6 G2531 as G3588 the G3142 testimony G3588 of the G5547 Christ G950 was firmed up G1722 in G1473 you,

7 G5620 so that G1473 you G3361 be not G5302 lacking G1722 in G3367 not one G5486 favor; G553 awaiting G3588 the G602 revelation G3588 G2962 of our Lord G1473 G* Jesus G5547 Christ,

8 G3739 who G2532 also G950 will firm up G1473 you G2193 unto G5056 the end, G410 without reproach G1722 in G3588 the G2250 day G3588 G2962 of our Lord G1473 G* Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G4103 Trustworthy G3588 G2316 is God G1223 through G3739 whom G2564 you were called G1519 into G2842 a fellowship G3588 G5207 of his son G1473 G* Jesus G5547 Christ G3588 G2962 our Lord. G1473

10 G3870 And I appeal to G1161 G1473 you, G80 brethren, G1223 through G3588 the G3686 name G3588 G2962 of our Lord G1473 G* Jesus G5547 Christ, G2443 that G3588 [⁴the G1473 ⁵same thing G3004 ¹you should ³say G3956 ²all], G2532 and G3361 there should be no G1510.3 G1722 [²among G1473 ³you G4978 ¹splits]; G1510.3 but that you should be G1161 G2675 readying yourselves G1722 with G3588 the G1473 same G3563 mind, G2532 and G1722 with G3588 the G1473 same G1106 opinion.

11 G1213 For it was made manifest G1063 G1473 to me G4012 concerning G1473 you, G80 my brethren, G1473 G5259 by G3588 the ones of G* Chloe, G3754 that G2054 [²strifes G1722 ³among G1473 ⁴you G1510.2.6 ¹there are].

12 G3004 And I say G1161 G3778 this, G3754 that G1538 each G1473 of you G3004 says, G1473 I G3303 indeed G1510.2.1 am G* of Paul, G1473 and I G1161 G* of Apollos, G1473 and I G1161 G* of Cephas, G1473 and I G1161 G5547 of Christ.

13 G3307 Has [³been portioned G3588 ¹the G5547 ²Christ]? G3361 Was G* Paul G4717 crucified G5228 for G1473 you? G2228 Or G1519 in G3588 the G3686 name G* of Paul G907 were you immersed?

14 G2168 I give thanks G3588 to G2316 God G3754 that G3762 not one G1473 of you G907 I immersed G1508 except G* Crispus G2532 and G* Gaius,

15 G2443 that G3361 not G5100 any G2036 should say G3754 that G1519 in G3588 G1699 my G3686 name G907 he was immersed.

16 G907 And I immersed G1161 G2532 also G3588 the G* house of Stephanas; G3624 G3062 the rest G3756 I do not know G1492 G1536 if any G243 other G907 I immersed.

17 G3756 [³did not G1063 ¹For G649 ⁴send G1473 ⁵me G5547 ²Christ] G907 to immerse, G235 but G2097 to announce good news; G3756 not G1722 in G4678 wisdom G3056 of word, G2443 lest G3361 G2758 [⁵should be an empty work G3588 ¹the G4716 ²cross G3588 ³of the G5547 ⁴Christ].

18 G3588 G3056 For the word, G1063 G3588 the one G3588 of the G4716 cross, G3588 to the ones G3303 indeed G622 perishing G3472 is moronishness; G1510.2.3 G3588 but to the ones G1161 G4982 being preserved, G1473 to us G1411 [² the power G2316 ³of God G1510.2.3 ¹it is].

19 G1125 For it has been written, G1063 G622 I will destroy G3588 the G4678 wisdom G3588 of the G4680 wise; G2532 and G3588 the G4907 understanding G3588 of the G4908 experts G114 I will disregard.

20 G4226 Where is G4680 the wise? G4226 Where is G1122 the scribe? G4226 Where is G4804 the debater G3588 G165 of this eon? G3778 G3780 Did not G3471 [²make moronish G3588 G2316 ¹God] G3588 the G4678 wisdom G3588 G2889 of this world? G3778

21 G1894 For since G1063 G1722 in G3588 the G4678 wisdom G3588 G2316 of God G3756 [³did not G1097 ⁴know G3588 ¹the G2889 ²world G1223 ⁶through G3588 G4678 ⁷wisdom G3588 G2316 ⁵God], G2106 [²thought well G3588 G2316 ¹God] G1223 through G3588 the G3472 moronishness G3588 of the G2782 proclamation G4982 to deliver G3588 the ones G4100 believing.

22 G1894 Since G2532 both G* Jews G4592 [²a sign G154 ¹ask for], G2532 and G* Greeks G4678 [²by wisdom G2212 ¹seek];

23 G1473 but we G1161 G2784 proclaim G5547 Christ G4717 being crucified, G* to Jews G3303 indeed G4625 an obstacle, G* and to Greeks G1161 G3472 moronishness;

24 G1473 but to these G1161 G3588 the G2822 chosen, G* both Jews G5037 G2532 and G* Greeks, G5547 Christ, G2316 God's G1411 power G2532 and G2316 God's G4678 wisdom.

25 G3754 For G3588 the G3474 moronish G3588 G2316 of God G4680 [²wiser than G3588 ³the wisdom G444 ⁴of men G1510.2.3 ¹is]; G2532 and G3588 the G772 weakness G3588 G2316 of God G2478 [²stronger than G3588 ³the strength G444 ⁴of men G1510.2.3 ¹is].

26 G991 For you see G1063 G3588 G2821 your calling, G1473 G80 brethren, G3754 that G3756 there are not G4183 many G4680 wise G2596 according to G4561 flesh, G3756 not G4183 many G1415 mighty, G3756 not G4183 many G2104 well-born.

27 G235 But G3588 the G3474 moronish G3588 of the G2889 world G1586 God chose, G3588 G2316 G2443 that G3588 the G4680 wise G2617 should be disgraced; G2532 and G3588 the G772 weak G3588 of the G2889 world G1586 God chose, G3588 G2316 G2443 that G2617 [³should be disgraced G3588 ¹the G2478 ²strong].

28 G2532 And G3588 the G36 ignoble G3588 of the G2889 world, G2532 and G3588 the ones G1848 being treated with contempt G1586 God chose, G3588 G2316 G2532 and G3588 the things G3361 not G1510.6 being; G2443 that G3588 the things G1510.6 being G2673 he should render useless;

29 G3704 so that G3361 [³should not G2744 ⁴boast G3956 ¹all G4561 ²flesh] G1799 before G1473 him.

30 G1537 [⁴of G1473 ⁵him G1161 ¹But G1473 ²you G1510.2.5 ³are] G1722 in G5547 Christ G* Jesus, G3739 who G1096 became G1473 wisdom to us G4678 G575 from G2316 God, G1343 both righteousness G5037 G2532 and G38 sanctification G2532 and G629 release by ransom;

31 G2443 that, G2531 as G1125 it has been written, G3588 The one G2744 boasting, G1722 [²in G2962 ³ the Lord G2744 ¹let him boast]!

1 G3972 Paul, G2822 called G652 to be an apostle G2424 of Jesus G5547 Anointed G1223 through G2307 the will G2316 of God, G2532 and G4988 Sosthenes G80 our brother,

2 G1577 To the congregation G2316 of God G3588 which G5607 [G5752] is G1722 at G2882 Corinth, G37 [G5772] to them that are sanctified G1722 in G5547 Anointed G2424 Jesus, G2822 called G40 to be holy ones, G4862 with G3956 all G1722 that in G3956 every G5117 place G1941 [G5734] call upon G3686 the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Anointed G2257 our G2962 Lord, G5037 both G846 theirs G2532 and G2257 ours:

3 G5485 Grace G5213 be to you, G2532 and G1515 peace, G575 from G2316 God G2257 our G3962 Father, G2532 and G2962 from the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed.

4 G2168 [G5719] I thank G3450 my G2316 God G3842 always G4012 0 on G5216 your G4012 behalf, G1909 for G5485 the grace G2316 of God G3588 which G1325 [G5685] is given G5213 you G1722 by G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed;

5 G3754 That G1722 in G3956 every thing G4148 [G5681] ye are enriched G1722 by G846 him, G1722 in G3956 every G3056 word, G2532 and G3956 in all G1108 knowledge;

6 G2531 Even as G3142 the testimony G5547 of Anointed G950 [G5681] was confirmed G1722 in G5213 you:

7 G5620 So that G5209 ye G5302 [G5745] come behind G1722 in G3361 G3367 no G5486 gift of favour; G553 [G5740] waiting for G3588 the G602 revealing G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed:

8 G3739 Who G950 0 shall G2532 also G950 [G5692] confirm G5209 you G2193 to G5056 the end, G410 that ye may be blameless G1722 in G2250 the day G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed.

9 G2316 God G4103 is faithful, G1223 by G3739 whom G2564 [G5681] ye were called G1519 to G2842 the fellowship G846 of his G5207 Son G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed G2257 our G2962 Lord.

10 G1161 Now G3870 [G5719] I beseech G5209 you, G80 brethren, G1223 by G3686 the name G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed, G2443 that G3004 0 ye G3956 all G3004 [G5725] speak G846 the same thing, G2532 and G5600 [G5753] that there be G3361 no G4978 splits G1722 among G5213 you; G1161 but G5600 [G5753] that ye be G2675 [G5772] perfectly joined together G1722 in G846 the same G3563 mind G2532 and G1722 in G846 the same G1106 opinion.

11 G1063 For G1213 [G5681] it hath been declared G3427 to me G4012 concerning G5216 you, G3450 my G80 brethren, G5259 by G3588 them who are of the house G5514 of Chloe, G3754 that G1526 [G5748] there are G2054 contentions G1722 among G5213 you.

12 G1161 Now G5124 this G3004 [G5719] I say, G3754 that G1538 each one G5216 of you G3004 [G5719] saith, G1473 I G3303 indeed G1510 [G5748] am G3972 of Paul; G1161 and G1473 I G625 of Apollos; G1161 and G1473 I G2786 of Cephas; G1161 and G1473 I G5547 of Anointed.

13 G3307 0 Is G5547 Anointed G3307 [G5769] divided? G3361 G4717 0 was G3972 Paul G4717 [G5681] impaled G5228 for G5216 you? G2228 or G907 [G5681] were ye baptized G1519 in G3686 the name G3972 of Paul?

14 G2168 [G5719] I thank G2316 God G3754 that G907 [G5656] I baptized G3762 none G5216 of you, G1508 but G2921 Crispus G2532 and G1050 Gaius;

15 G3363 Lest G5100 any G2036 [G5632] should say G3754 that G907 [G5656] I had baptized G1519 in G1699 mine own G3686 name.

16 G1161 And G907 [G5656] I baptized G2532 also G3624 the household G4734 of Stephanas: G3063 besides, G1492 [G5758] I know G3756 not G907 [G5656] whether I baptized G1536 any G243 other.

17 G1063 For G5547 Anointed G3756 hath not G649 [G5656] sent G3165 me G907 [G5721] to baptize, G235 but G2097 [G5733] to announce good news: G3756 not G1722 with G4678 wisdom G3056 of words, G3363 lest G4716 the stake G5547 of Anointed G2758 [G5686] should be made empty.

18 G1063 For G3056 the preaching G4716 of the stake G2076 [G5748] is G3303 to them G622 [G5730] that perish G3472 foolishness; G1161 but G2254 to us G4982 [G5746] who are saved G2076 [G5748] it is G1411 the power G2316 of God.

19 G1063 For G1125 [G5769] it is written, G622 [G5692] I will make lost G4678 the wisdom G4680 of the wise, G2532 and G114 [G5692] will bring to nothing G4907 the understanding G4908 of the prudent.

20 G4226 Where G4680 is the wise? G4226 where G1122 is the scribe? G4226 where G4804 is the disputer G5127 of this G165 age? G3471 0 hath G3780 not G2316 God G3471 [G5656] made foolish G4678 the wisdom G5127 of this G2889 world?

21 G1063 For G1894 when G1722 in G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God G2889 the world G1223 by G4678 wisdom G1097 [G5627] knew G3756 not G2316 God, G2106 [G5656] it pleased G2316 God G1223 by G3472 the foolishness G2782 of proclamation G4982 [G5658] to save G4100 [G5723] them that believe.

22 G2532 G1894 For G2453 the Judeans G154 [G5719] require G4592 a sign, G2532 and G1672 the Hellenes G2212 [G5719] seek G4678 wisdom:

23 G1161 But G2249 we G2784 [G5719] proclaim G5547 Anointed G4717 [G5772] being impaled, G2453 to the Judeans G3303 indeed G4625 a trap-stick, G1161 and G1672 to the Hellenes G3472 foolishness;

24 G1161 But G846 to them G3588 who G2822 are called, G5037 both G2453 Judeans G2532 and G1672 Hellenes, G5547 Anointed G1411 the power G2316 of God, G2532 and G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God.

25 G3754 Because G3474 the foolishness G2316 of God G2076 [G5748] is G4680 wiser than G444 men; G2532 and G772 the weakness G2316 of God G2076 [G5748] is G2478 stronger than G444 men.

26 G1063 For G991 [G5719] ye see G5216 your G2821 calling, G80 brethren, G3754 that G3756 not G4183 many G4680 wise men G2596 after G4561 the flesh, G3756 not G4183 many G1415 powerful, G3756 not G4183 many G2104 noble, are called:

27 G235 But G2316 God G1586 [G5668] hath chosen G3474 the foolish things G2889 of the world G2443 to G2617 [G5725] confound G4680 the wise; G2532 and G2316 God G1586 [G5668] hath chosen G772 the weak things G2889 of the world G2443 to G2617 [G5725] confound G2478 the things which are strong;

28 G2532 And G3588 the G36 ignoble G3588 of the G2889 world, G2532 and G3588 things which G1848 [G5772] are despised, G3588 G1586 0 hath G2316 God G1586 [G5668] chosen, G2532 and G3588 things which G5607 [G5752] are G3361 not, G2443 in order that G2673 [G5661] he might render useless G3588 things that G5607 [G5752] are:

29 G3704 That G3361 G3956 no G4561 flesh G2744 [G5667] should boast G1799 0 before G846 his G1799 sight.

30 G1161 But G1537 of G846 him G2075 [G5748] are G5210 ye G1722 in G5547 Anointed G2424 Jesus, G3739 who G575 from G2316 God G1096 [G5675] is made G2254 G5037 to us G4678 wisdom, G1343 and righteousness, G2532 and G38 sanctification, G2532 and G629 redemption:

31 G2443 That, G2531 according as G1125 [G5769] it has been written, G3588 The one G2744 [G5740] boasting, G2744 [G5737] let him boast G1722 in G2962 the Lord.

Forthermore knowe I not whether I baptised eny man or no. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptyse but to preache ye gospell not with wysdome of wordes lest the crosse of Christ shuld have bene made of none effecte. ¹⁸ For ye preachinge of the crosse is to them yt perisshe folishnes: but vnto vs which are saved it is ye power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse and will cast awaye the vnderstondinge of the prudet. ²⁰ Where is the wyse? Where is the scrybe? Where is the searcher of this worlde? ²¹ Hath not God made the wysdome of this worlde folisshnes?

And God hath chosyn the weake thinges of the worlde to confounde thinges which are mighty. ²⁸ And vile thinges of the worlde and thinges which are despysed hath God chosen yee and thinges of no reputacion for to brynge to nought thinges of reputacion ²⁹ that no flesshe shulde reioyce in his presence. ³⁰ And vnto him partayne ye in Christ Iesu which of God is made vnto vs wysdome and also rightewesnes and saunctifyinge and redempcion. ³¹ That accordinge as it is written: he which reioyseth shulde reioyce in the Lorde.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an Apostle of Iesus Christ thorow ye will of God, and brother Sosthenes, ² vnto the congregacion off God which is at Corinthum, to them that are sanctified in Christ Iesus, sayntes by callinge, with all them that call vpon the name of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, in euery place both off theirs and oures. ³ Grace be with you and peace from God oure father, and from the LORDE Iesus Christ. ⁴ I thake my God allwayes on youre behalfe, for the fauoure of God which is geue you in Iesus Christ, ⁵ that in all poyntes ye are made ryche by him, in euery worde, and in all maner of knowlege ⁶ (eue as ye preachinge of Christ is confirmed in you) ⁷ so that ye wante nothinge in eny gifte, and wayte but for the appearinge of oure LORDE Iesus Christ: ⁸ which shal strength you also vnto ye ende, that ye maye be blamelesse in the daye of oure LORDE Iesus Christ. ⁹ For God is faithfull, by who ye are called vnto the fellishippe of his sonne Iesus Christ oure LORDE. ¹⁰ But I beseke you brethre thorow the name of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, that ye all speake one thinge, and let there be no discension amonge you, but that ye be perfecte in one meanynge. ¹¹ For it is shewed me (my brethren) of you, by them which are of ye housholde of Cloes, that there is stryfe amonge you. I speake of that, ¹² which euery one of you sayeth: I holde of Paul. Another, I holde of Apollo. The thirde, I holde of Cephas. The fourth, I holde off Christ. ¹³ Is Christ then deuyded in partes? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptysed in ye name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thanke God that I haue baptised none of you, but Crispus and Gaius: ¹⁵ lest eny shulde saye, yt I in myne awne name had baptised. ¹⁶ I baptysed also ye housholde of Stephana. Farthermore knowe I not, whether I baptysed eny other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptyse, but to preach the Gospell, not with wyssdome of wordes, lest ye crosse of Christ shulde haue bene made of none effecte. ¹⁸ For the worde of ye crosse is foolishnesse to the that perishe but vnto vs which are saued, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is wrytte: I wyl destroye the wyssdome of the wyse, & wil cast away the vnderstondinge of ye prudet. ²⁰ Where are the wyse? Where are ye scrybes? where are ye disputers of this worlde? ²¹ Hath not God made the wyssdome of this worlde foolishnesse? For in so moch as the worlde by the wyssdome therof knewe not God in his wyssdome, it pleased God thorow foolish preachinge to saue them yt beleue. ²² For the Iewes requyre tokens, and the Grekes axe after wyssdome. ²³ But we preach Christ the crucified: to the Iewes an occasion off fallinge, and vnto the Grekes foolishnes. ²⁴ But vnto them that are called (both Iewes and Grekes) we preach Christ the power of God and the wyssdome off God. ²⁵ For the foolishnes of God is wyser then men: and the weaknes of God is stroger the men. ²⁶ Brethren loke on youre callinge, how that not many wyseme after the flesh, not many mightie, not many of hye degre are called: ²⁷ but that foolish is before the worlde, hath God chosen, that he mighte cofounde the wyse: And that weake is before ye worlde, hath God chosen, yt he mighte confounde the mightye. ²⁸ And the vyle and despysed before the worlde hath God chosen, yee and that which is nothinge, that he mighte destroye that which is oughte, ²⁹ that no flesh shulde reioyse in his presence. ³⁰ Of the same are ye also in Christ Iesu, which of God is made vnto vs wyssdome and righteousnes, and sanctifienge and redepcion, ³¹ that, acordinge as it is wrytten: He that reioyseth, shulde reioyse in the LORDE.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, by vocation an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes. ² Unto the congregation of God which is at Corinth. To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ, saints by calling, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both of theirs and of ours. ³ Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ, ⁵ that in all things ye are made rich by him, in all learning and in all knowledge: ⁶ even as the testimony of Jesus Christ was confirmed in you: ⁷ so that ye are behind in no gift, and wait for the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ ⁸ which shall strengthen you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For God is faithful, by whom ye are called unto the fellowship of his son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ I beseech you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all speak one thing and that there be no dissension among you: but be ye perfect in one mind, and one meaning. ¹¹ It is showed unto me, my brethren, of you by them that are of the house of Chloe; that there is strife among you. ¹² And this is it that I mean: how that commonly among you, one sayeth, "I hold of Paul"; Another, "I hold of Apollos"; the third, "I hold of Cephas"; and the fourth that, "I hold of Christ." ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Either were ye baptised in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptised none of you, but Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ lest any should say that I in mine own name had baptised. ¹⁶ I baptised also the house of Stephanas. Furthermore know I not whether I baptised any man of you or no. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should have been made of none effect. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is, to them that perish, foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent." ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness? ²¹ For when the world, through wisdom, knew not God in the wisdom of God: it pleased God through foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. ²² For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom. ²³ But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews, an occasion of falling; and unto the Greeks, foolishness. ²⁴ But unto them which are called, both of Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: And the weakness of God is stronger than are men. ²⁶ Brethren, look on your calling how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many of high degree are called: ²⁷ 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 things which are mighty. ²⁸ And vile things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things of no reputation, for to bring to nought things of reputation, ²⁹ that no flesh should rejoice in his presence. ³⁰ And unto him pertain ye, in Christ Jesus, which of God is made unto us wisdom, and also righteousness, and sanctifying, and redemption. ³¹ That according, as it is written, "He which rejoiceth, should rejoice in the Lord."

And thys is it that I meane, ¹² how that communly among you, one saith: I hold of Paul, another I holde of Apollo, the thyrd I holde of Cephas, the fourth I holde of Christ. ¹³ Is Christe diuided? was Paule crucifyed for you? eyther were ye baptysed in the name of Paule? ¹⁴ I thanke God, that I christened none of you, but Crispus & Gaius, ¹⁵ lest any should say that I had baptysed in myne own name. ¹⁶ I baptysed also the housholde of Stephana. Furthermore knowe I not whether I baptysed anye man or no. ¹⁷ For Christe sente me not to baptyse, but to preache the gospel, not with wysdom of wordes leaste the crosse of Christe shoulde haue bene made of none effecte. ¹⁸ For the preachyng of the crosse is to them that peryshe folyshnes, but vnto vs whiche are saued, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse, and wyll caste awaye the vnderstandinge of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wyse? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this worlde? ²¹ Hath not God made the wysdome of thys worlde folyshnes? For when the world thorough wysdome knewe not God, in the wisdom of God, it pleased God thorough folishnes of preachynge to saue them that beleue. ²² For the Iewes require a signe, and the Grekes seke after wisdom. ²³ But we preache Christe crucifyed vnto the Iewes an occasion of fallinge, and vnto the Grekes folishnes, ²⁴ but vnto them, whiche are called both of Iewes and Grekes we preache Christe the power of God, and the wisdome of God. ²⁵ For the folyshnes of God is wyser then men, and the weaknes of God is stronger then men. ²⁶ Brethren loke on youre callinge howe that not manye wyse men after the fleshe, not manie myghty, not manye of hye degre are called: ²⁷ but God had chosen the folyshe thynges of the worlde, to confounde the wise. And God hath chosen the weake thinges of the worlde, to confounde thynges, whyche are myghty. ²⁸ And vile thinges of the world, and thinges whiche are despysed, hath God chosen, yea and thinges of no reputation for to bringe to nought thinges of reputation, ²⁹ that no flesh shoulde reioise in his presence. ³⁰ And vnto him partaine ye in Christe Iesus, whiche of God is made to vs wysdome, and also rightuousnes, and sanctifiynge and redemption. ³¹ That accordynge as it is written: he whiche reioiseth should reioyse in the Lorde.

Was Paul crucifyed for you? ether were ye baptysed in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thanke God, that I baptysed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius: ¹⁵ lest eny shuld saye, that I had baptysed in myne awne name. ¹⁶ I baptised also the house of Stephana. Furthermore knowe I not, whether I baptised eny man or no. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptyse, but to preache the Gospell, not wt wysdome of wordes, lest the crosse of Christ shulde haue bene made of none effecte. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the crosse, is to them that perisshe, foolishnes: but vnto vs which are saued it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is wrytten: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse, and wyll cast awaye the vnderstandynge of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wyse?

For after that the worlde thorowe wysdome knewe not God, in the wysdome of God, it pleased God thorowe foolyshnes of preachynge, to saue them that beleue. ²² For the Iewes require a sygne, and the Grekes seke after wysdome. ²³ But we preache Christ crucifyed, vnto the Iewes an occasyon of fallynge, and vnto the Grekes foolysihnes: ²⁴ but vnto them whych are called both of the Iewes & Grekes, we preache Christ the power of God and the wysdome of God. ²⁵ For the foolishnes of God, is wyser then men: and the weakenes of God is stronger then men. ²⁶ Brethren, ye se your callynge, how that not many wyse men after the flesshe, not many myghty, not many of hye degre, are called: ²⁷ But God hath chosen the folisshe thynges of the worlde, to confounde the wyse.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother, ² To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs and ours. ³ Grace to you and peace, from God our father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus: ⁵ That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance and in all knowledge; ⁶ As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, ⁷ So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the days of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no schisms among you: but that you be perfect in the same mind and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius: ¹⁵ Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ And I baptized also the household of Stephanus. Besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. ¹⁸ For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise: and the prudence of the prudent I will reject. ²⁰ 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? ²¹ For, seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe. ²² For both the Jews require signs: and the Greeks seek after wisdom. ²³ But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness: ²⁴ But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. ²⁷ But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise: and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. ²⁸ And the base things of the world and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen: and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are: ²⁹ That no flesh should glory in his sight. ³⁰ But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption: ³¹ That, as it is written: He that glorieth may glory in the Lord.

2 G1577 Unto the church G2316 of God G3588 which G5607 is [G5752] G1722 at G2882 Corinth G37 , to them that are sanctified [G5772] G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus G2822 , called G40 to be saints G4862 , with G3956 all G1722 that in G3956 every G5117 place G1941 call upon [G5734] G3686 the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G2257 our G2962 Lord G5037 , both G846 theirs G2532 and G2257 ours:

3 G5485 Grace G5213 be unto you G2532 , and G1515 peace G575 , from G2316 God G2257 our G3962 Father G2532 , and G2962 from the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

4 G2168 I thank [G5719] G3450 my G2316 God G3842 always G4012 on G5216 your G4012 behalf G1909 , for G5485 the grace G2316 of God G3588 which G1325 is given [G5685] G5213 you G1722 by G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ;

5 G3754 That G1722 in G3956 every thing G4148 ye are enriched [G5681] G1722 by G846 him G1722 , in G3956 all G3056 utterance G2532 , and G3956 in all G1108 knowledge;

6 G2531 Even as G3142 the testimony G5547 of Christ G950 was confirmed [G5681] G1722 in G5213 you:

7 G5620 So that G5209 ye G5302 come behind [G5745] G1722 in G3361 no G3367 G5486 gift G553 ; waiting for [G5740] G602 the coming G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ:

8 G3739 Who G950 shall G2532 also G950 confirm [G5692] G5209 you G2193 unto G5056 the end G410 , that ye may be blameless G1722 in G2250 the day G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G2316 God G4103 is faithful G1223 , by G3739 whom G2564 ye were called [G5681] G1519 unto G2842 the fellowship G846 of his G5207 Son G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2257 our G2962 Lord.

10 G1161 Now G3870 I beseech [G5719] G5209 you G80 , brethren G1223 , by G3686 the name G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2443 , that G3004 ye G3956 all G3004 speak [G5725] G846 the same thing G2532 , and G5600 that there be [G5753] G3361 no G4978 divisions G1722 among G5213 you G1161 ; but G5600 that ye be [G5753] G2675 perfectly joined together [G5772] G1722 in G846 the same G3563 mind G2532 and G1722 in G846 the same G1106 judgment.

11 G1063 For G1213 it hath been declared [G5681] G3427 unto me G4012 of G5216 you G3450 , my G80 brethren G5259 , by G3588 them which are of the house G5514 of Chloe G3754 , that G1526 there are [G5748] G2054 contentions G1722 among G5213 you.

12 G1161 Now G5124 this G3004 I say [G5719] G3754 , that G1538 every one G5216 of you G3004 saith [G5719] G1473 , I G3303 G1510 am [G5748] G3972 of Paul G1161 ; and G1473 I G625 of Apollos G1161 ; and G1473 I G2786 of Cephas G1161 ; and G1473 I G5547 of Christ.

13 G3307 Is G5547 Christ G3307 divided [G5769] G3361 ? G4717 was G3972 Paul G4717 crucified [G5681] G5228 for G5216 you G2228 ? or G907 were ye baptized [G5681] G1519 in G3686 the name G3972 of Paul?

14 G2168 I thank [G5719] G2316 God G3754 that G907 I baptized [G5656] G3762 none G5216 of you G1508 , but G2921 Crispus G2532 and G1050 Gaius;

15 G3363 Lest G5100 any G2036 should say [G5632] G3754 that G907 I had baptized [G5656] G1519 in G1699 mine own G3686 name.

16 G1161 And G907 I baptized [G5656] G2532 also G3624 the household G4734 of Stephanas G3063 : besides G1492 , I know [G5758] G3756 not G907 whether I baptized [G5656] G1536 any G243 other.

17 G1063 For G5547 Christ G649 sent [G5656] G3165 me G3756 not G907 to baptize [G5721] G235 , but G2097 to preach the gospel [G5733] G3756 : not G1722 with G4678 wisdom G3056 of words G3363 , lest G4716 the cross G5547 of Christ G2758 should be made of none effect [G5686] .

18 G1063 For G3056 the preaching G4716 of the cross G2076 is [G5748] G3303 to them G622 that perish [G5730] G3472 foolishness G1161 ; but G2254 unto us G4982 which are saved [G5746] G2076 it is [G5748] G1411 the power G2316 of God.

19 G1063 For G1125 it is written [G5769] G622 , I will destroy [G5692] G4678 the wisdom G4680 of the wise G2532 , and G114 will bring to nothing [G5692] G4907 the understanding G4908 of the prudent.

20 G4226 Where G4680 is the wise G4226 ? where G1122 is the scribe G4226 ? where G4804 is the disputer G5127 of this G165 world G3471 ? hath G3780 not G2316 God G3471 made foolish [G5656] G4678 the wisdom G5127 of this G2889 world?

21 G1063 For G1894 after G1722 that in G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God G2889 the world G1223 by G4678 wisdom G1097 knew [G5627] G3756 not G2316 God G2106 , it pleased [G5656] G2316 God G1223 by G3472 the foolishness G2782 of preaching G4982 to save [G5658] G4100 them that believe [G5723] .

22 G2532 For G1894 G2453 the Jews G154 require [G5719] G4592 a sign G2532 , and G1672 the Greeks G2212 seek [G5719] G4678 after wisdom:

23 G1161 But G2249 we G2784 preach [G5719] G5547 Christ G4717 crucified [G5772] G2453 , unto the Jews G3303 a stumblingblock G4625 G1161 , and G1672 unto the Greeks G3472 foolishness;

24 G1161 But G846 unto them G3588 which G2822 are called G5037 , both G2453 Jews G2532 and G1672 Greeks G5547 , Christ G1411 the power G2316 of God G2532 , and G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God.

25 G3754 Because G3474 the foolishness G2316 of God G2076 is [G5748] G4680 wiser than G444 men G2532 ; and G772 the weakness G2316 of God G2076 is [G5748] G2478 stronger than G444 men.

26 G1063 For G991 ye see [G5719] G5216 your G2821 calling G80 , brethren G3754 , how that G3756 not G4183 many G4680 wise men G2596 after G4561 the flesh G3756 , not G4183 many G1415 mighty G3756 , not G4183 many G2104 noble, are called :

27 G235 But G2316 God G1586 hath chosen [G5668] G3474 the foolish things G2889 of the world G2443 to G2617 confound [G5725] G4680 the wise G2532 ; and G2316 God G1586 hath chosen [G5668] G772 the weak things G2889 of the world G2443 to G2617 confound [G5725] G2478 the things which are mighty;

28 G2532 And G36 base things G2889 of the world G2532 , and G1848 things which are despised [G5772] G1586 , hath G2316 God G1586 chosen [G5668] G2532 , yea, and G3588 things which G5607 are [G5752] G3361 not G2443 , to G2673 bring to nought [G5661] G5607 things that are [G5752] :

29 G3704 That G3361 no G3956 G4561 flesh G2744 should glory [G5667] G1799 in his presence G846 .

30 G1161 But G1537 of G846 him G2075 are [G5748] G5210 ye G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus G3739 , who G575 of G2316 God G1096 is made [G5675] G2254 unto us G5037 G4678 wisdom G1343 , and righteousness G2532 , and G38 sanctification G2532 , and G629 redemption:

31 G2443 That G2531 , according as G1125 it is written [G5769] G2744 , He that glorieth [G5740] G2744 , let him glory [G5737] G1722 in G2962 the Lord.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul appointed by the divine will to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes our brother, ² to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who being sanctified by Christ Jesus, are saints by that vocation, to all that any where invoke the name of Jesus Christ, who is both their Lord and ours. ³ grace and peace be with you from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I continually give thanks to God on your behalf, for the favour he has bestowed on you thro' Jesus Christ; ⁵ in your being enriched by him in every gift, with all that light and knowledge, ⁶ whereby the testimony we gave concerning Christ was confirmed among you. ⁷ so that you will be deficient in no gift; during your expectation of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁸ and God will confirm you to the end, that ye may be unaccused in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ for he, who has called you to the communication of his son Jesus Christ our Lord, will make good his promise. ¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to maintain all the same doctrine, to suffer no divisions among you; but to be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment. ¹¹ for I have been inform'd, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you. ¹² I mean that one or other of you cries out "I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, ¹³ and I of Christ." is the school of Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God, I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius: ¹⁵ lest any should say, I had baptized into mine own name. ¹⁶ true, I baptized the family of Stephanas: but I don't know that I baptized any other besides. ¹⁷ for Christ did not send me to baptize: but to preach the gospel: tho' not with the preaching of the wise, lest the cross of Christ should have been hinder'd in its efficacy. ¹⁸ For tho' the doctrine of the cross seems folly to those that perish: yet we that are to be saved, do feel its energy is divine. ¹⁹ for it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." ²⁰ where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputant of this age? has not God prov'd the wisdom of this world to be downright folly. ²¹ for whereas the world, with all their learning, did not distinguish the characters of his divine wisdom, in his works, it pleased God to save those who believe, by preaching, which they counted folly. ²² while the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom: ²³ we preach Christ crucified, an obstacle to the Jews indeed, and to the Gentiles foolishness: but to those who believe, ²⁴ both Jews and Gentiles, he is the Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ for this divine doctrine, as foolish and weak as men may think it, far surpasses all their wisdom, and baffles all their power. ²⁶ for consider, brethren, that not many worldly wise, not many men of power, not many men of birth are among you that are called. ²⁷ but God hath chosen those who are foolish in the opinion of the world, to confound the wise; and the weak men of the world to confound the mighty: ²⁸ those who were looked upon by the world as vile, as despicable, as nothing, these has God chosen to reduce their sufficiency to nothing. ²⁹ that no man might glory before God; ³⁰ for from him it is that ye believe in Christ Jesus, whom God has made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, ³¹ according as it is written, "he that glorieth, should glory in the Lord."

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAUL an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother, ² Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours. ³ Grace [be] unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; ⁵ That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and all knowledge: ⁶ Even as the Testimony of Christ was confirmed in you. ⁷ So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁸ Who shall also confirm you unto the end, blameless, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God [is] faithful, from whom ye were all called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you; but ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² 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 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized unto the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God, that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius: ¹⁵ Lest any should say, I baptized unto mine own name. ¹⁶ And I baptized also the Household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, to but preach the gospel not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be of none effect. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness: but unto us who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ It is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where [is] the wise? where the scribe? where the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For after that, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe. ²² For the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom: ²³ But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Gentiles foolishness; ²⁴ But unto them who are called both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ Therefore ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise Men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are chosen]. ²⁷ 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 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, to bring to nought things that are: ²⁹ That no flesh should glory in the presence of God. ³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹ That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, ² and Sosthenes a brother, To the church of God, which is in Corinth, to them that are sanctified through Christ Jesus, called and holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours: ³ Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Christ Jesus: ⁵ That in every thing ye are inriched through him, ⁶ in all utterance and in all knowledge, As the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you: ⁷ So that ye are wanting in no good gift, ⁸ waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will also confirm you to the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you, but that ye be perfectly joined together, in the same mind and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it hath been declared to me of you, my brethren, by them of the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² Now this I say, every one of you saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? ¹⁴ Or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? I thank God, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius: ¹⁵ Lest any should say, that I had baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ I baptized also the family of Stephanas. ¹⁷ I know not that I baptized any other. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; but not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. ¹⁸ For the doctrine of the cross is indeed to them that perish foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and abolish the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ 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? ²¹ For since, 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 For whereas the Jews demand signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom, We preach Christ crucified, ²³ to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness: ²⁴ But to them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ Behold your calling brethren: that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called: ²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world, to shame the things that are mighty: ²⁸ And the base things of the world, and things that are despised, hath God chosen; yea, things that are not, to bring to nought the things that are; That no flesh may glory before him. ²⁹ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who is made by God unto us wisdom, ³⁰ and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹ That as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, ² even to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is both their Lord and ours; ³ grace and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I always give thanks unto my God, on your account, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus; that ye are enriched by Him with every gift, ⁵ in all utterance and knowledge; ⁶ (even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you;) ⁷ so that ye are deficient in no gift, expecting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁸ who will also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁹ for God is faithful by whom ye were called into the communion of his son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye would all say alike, and that there may be no schisms among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgement. ¹¹ For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you. ¹² I mean, that each of you saith, as if of different parties, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, I of Cephas, and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius: ¹⁵ so that no one can say I baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ I also baptized indeed the family of Stephanas: but I know not whether I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in fine speech, least the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. ¹⁸ For the doctrine of the cross is to them, that perish, foolishness: but to us, who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." ²⁰ Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputant of the age? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For, since in the wisdom of God the world by it's wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by what they called the folly of preaching to save those that believe. ²² And whereas the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks look for wisdom, we preach Christ crucified; ²³ to the Jews indeed a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; but to them that are called, ²⁴ both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God, as they call it, is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For ye see by your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called: ²⁷ but God hath chosen things that are foolish in the eye of the world to put it's wise men to confusion; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty; ²⁸ and things in the opinion of the world ignoble, and despicable, and accounted as nothing, hath God chosen, to abolish things that are in esteem among men; ²⁹ that no flesh may glory in his presence. ³⁰ But ye are of Him in Christ Jesus, who from God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹ that, as it is written, He that glorieth may glory in the Lord.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAUL, a called apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother, ² to the church of God which is at Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, with all those who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both their's and our's: ³ grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I give thanks to my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which hath been given you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in every thing ye have been enriched by him, in all utterance, and all knowledge; ⁶ thus the testimony of Jesus hath been confirmed among you: ⁷ so that ye have not been deficient in any gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁸ who shall confirm you to the end blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Faithful is God, by whom ye have been called into communion with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I conjure you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that ye be perfectly united together in the same mind and the same sentiment. ¹¹ For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² Now this I observe, that one and another of you saith, I am indeed of Paul; but I of Apollos; but I of Cephas; but I am of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptised into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptised none of you, except Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ that no man might say, I baptised into my own name. ¹⁶ And I also baptised the household of Stephanus: besides these, I know not if I baptised any other person. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of discourse, lest the cross of Christ should be slighted. ¹⁸ For the discourse, [the subject of which is] the cross, is indeed to those who perish, folly; but to us who are saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of the intelligent will I make useless." ²⁰ Where is the sophist? where is the scribe? where is the inquisitive searcher after this world's wisdom? hath not God turned into folly the wisdom of this world? ²¹ for since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. ²² For the Jews demand a miracle, and the Greeks seek wisdom: ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offence, and to the Greeks folly; ²⁴ but to those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For this foolishness of God is wiser than men; and this weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many fleshly wise, not many men in power, not many men of high birth, are called: ²⁷ but the foolish things of this world hath God elected, that he might confound the wise; and the feeble things of the world hath God elected, that he might confound the mighty; ²⁸ and the ignoble things of the world, and the despicable, hath God elected, and the things that are not, to bring to nought the things which are, ²⁹ that no flesh should glory in his presence. ³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who hath been made to us of God wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹ that, as it is written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, ² to the congregation of God which is at Corinth; to them who are hallowed by Christ Jesus; called to be holy, together with all those in every place who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: ³ favour be to you, and peace from God our father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always with respect to you, for the favour of God which is granted you by Christ Jesus, ⁵ that in every thing you have been enriched by him with all doctrine and with all knowledge, ⁶ in the same manner as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you; ⁷ so that you are not deficient in any gift during your waiting for the full manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who will confirm you to the end, exempt from accusation in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful by whom you have been called to a fellowship in his son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ And I intreat you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same sentiment. ¹¹ For I am informed respecting you, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you; ¹² I mean this, that every one of you saith, I am for Paul; and I am for Apollos; and I for Cephas; and I for Christ. ¹³ Is the Christ divided"? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized to the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ that none might say that I baptized to my own name. ¹⁶ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. I do not recollect that I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the glad tidings, not with wisdom of speech, that the cross of the Christ might not be rendered useless. ¹⁸ For this doctrine [the doctrine of the cross] is foolishness to them who perish; but to us who are saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and abolish the understanding of the prudent." ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this age? Hath not God shewn the wisdom of this world to be folly? ²¹ For when, amidst the wisdom of God, the world did not, by means of that wisdom, know God; it pleased God by the foolishness of this proclamation to save them who believe; ²² so when the Jews demand a sign and the Greeks seek wisdom, ²³ as for us, we proclaim a crucified Christ; to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness; ²⁴ but to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God; ²⁵ because this foolish thing of God is wiser than men, and this weak thing of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For observe, brethren, this call of you, that there are not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many of illustrious birth; ²⁷ but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world God hath made choice of to put to shame the strong ²⁸ and the ignoble of this world, and those of no account, God hath chosen; nay, the very nothings, to put a stop to the operation of the things which are, ²⁹ that no flesh might boast in his presence. ³⁰ And it is owing to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who hath been made to us wisdom from God, namely, righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption, ³¹ so that as it is written, Let him who boasteth boast in the Lord."

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, ² 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 Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; ⁵ That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; ⁶ Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: ⁷ So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁸ Who will also confirm you to the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ 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 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 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 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. ¹⁷ 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 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 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ 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? ²¹ 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 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom: ²³ But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; ²⁴ But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called: ²⁷ 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 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 That no flesh should glory in his presence. ³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹ That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

1 G3972 Paul G2822 , called G652 to be an apostle G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G1223 through G2307 the will G2316 of God G2532 , and G4988 Sosthenes G80 our brother,

2 G1577 To the church G2316 of God G3588 which G5607 [G5752] is G1722 at G2882 Corinth G37 [G5772] , to them that are sanctified G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus G2822 , called G40 to be saints G4862 , with G3956 all G1722 that in G3956 every G5117 place G1941 [G5734] call upon G3686 the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G2257 our G2962 Lord G5037 , both G846 theirs G2532 and G2257 ours:

3 G5485 Grace G5213 be to you G2532 , and G1515 peace G575 , from G2316 God G2257 our G3962 Father G2532 , and G2962 from the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

4 G2168 [G5719] I thank G3450 my G2316 God G3842 always G4012 0 on G5216 your G4012 behalf G1909 , for G5485 the grace G2316 of God G3588 which G1325 [G5685] is given G5213 you G1722 by G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ;

5 G3754 That G1722 in G3956 every thing G4148 [G5681] ye are enriched G1722 by G846 him G1722 , in G3956 all G3056 utterance G2532 , and G3956 in all G1108 knowledge;

6 G2531 Even as G3142 the testimony G5547 of Christ G950 [G5681] was confirmed G1722 in G5213 you:

7 G5620 So that G5209 ye G5302 [G5745] come behind G1722 in G3361 G3367 no G5486 gift G553 [G5740] ; waiting for G602 the coming G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ:

8 G3739 Who G950 0 shall G2532 also G950 [G5692] confirm G5209 you G2193 to G5056 the end G410 , that ye may be blameless G1722 in G2250 the day G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G2316 God G4103 is faithful G1223 , by G3739 whom G2564 [G5681] ye were called G1519 to G2842 the fellowship G846 of his G5207 Son G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2257 our G2962 Lord.

10 G1161 Now G3870 [G5719] I beseech G5209 you G80 , brethren G1223 , by G3686 the name G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2443 , that G3004 0 ye G3956 all G3004 [G5725] speak G846 the same thing G2532 , and G5600 [G5753] that there be G3361 no G4978 divisions G1722 among G5213 you G1161 ; but G5600 [G5753] that ye be G2675 [G5772] perfectly joined together G1722 in G846 the same G3563 mind G2532 and G1722 in G846 the same G1106 judgment.

11 G1063 For G1213 [G5681] it hath been declared G3427 to me G4012 concerning G5216 you G3450 , my G80 brethren G5259 , by G3588 them {\i who are of the house G5514 } of Chloe G3754 , that G1526 [G5748] there are G2054 contentions G1722 among G5213 you.

12 G1161 Now G5124 this G3004 [G5719] I say G3754 , that G1538 each one G5216 of you G3004 [G5719] saith G1473 G3303 , I G1510 [G5748] am G3972 of Paul G1161 ; and G1473 I G625 of Apollos G1161 ; and G1473 I G2786 of Cephas G1161 ; and G1473 I G5547 of Christ.

13 G3307 0 Is G5547 Christ G3307 [G5769] divided G3361 ? G4717 0 was G3972 Paul G4717 [G5681] crucified G5228 for G5216 you G2228 ? or G907 [G5681] were ye baptized G1519 in G3686 the name G3972 of Paul?

14 G2168 [G5719] I thank G2316 God G3754 that G907 [G5656] I baptized G3762 none G5216 of you G1508 , but G2921 Crispus G2532 and G1050 Gaius;

15 G3363 Lest G5100 any G2036 [G5632] should say G3754 that G907 [G5656] I had baptized G1519 in G1699 my own G3686 name.

16 G1161 And G907 [G5656] I baptized G2532 also G3624 the household G4734 of Stephanas G3063 : besides G1492 [G5758] , I know G3756 not G907 [G5656] whether I baptized G1536 any G243 other.

17 G1063 For G5547 Christ G3756 hath not G649 [G5656] sent G3165 me G907 [G5721] to baptize G235 , but G2097 [G5733] to preach the gospel G3756 : not G1722 with G4678 wisdom G3056 of words G3363 , lest G4716 the cross G5547 of Christ G2758 [G5686] should be made of no effect.

18 G1063 For G3056 the preaching G4716 of the cross G2076 [G5748] is G3303 to them G622 [G5730] that perish G3472 foolishness G1161 ; but G2254 to us G4982 [G5746] who are saved G2076 [G5748] it is G1411 the power G2316 of God.

19 G1063 For G1125 [G5769] it is written G622 [G5692] , I will destroy G4678 the wisdom G4680 of the wise G2532 , and G114 [G5692] will bring to nothing G4907 the understanding G4908 of the prudent.

20 G4226 Where G4680 is the wise G4226 ? where G1122 is the scribe G4226 ? where G4804 is the disputer G5127 of this G165 world G3471 0 ? hath G3780 not G2316 God G3471 [G5656] made foolish G4678 the wisdom G5127 of this G2889 world?

21 G1063 For G1894 when G1722 in G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God G2889 the world G1223 by G4678 wisdom G1097 [G5627] knew G3756 not G2316 God G2106 [G5656] , it pleased G2316 God G1223 by G3472 the foolishness G2782 of preaching G4982 [G5658] to save G4100 [G5723] them that believe.

22 G2532 G1894 For G2453 the Jews G154 [G5719] require G4592 a sign G2532 , and G1672 the Greeks G2212 [G5719] seek G4678 wisdom:

23 G1161 But G2249 we G2784 [G5719] preach G5547 Christ G4717 [G5772] crucified G2453 , to the Jews G3303 G4625 a stumblingblock G1161 , and G1672 to the Greeks G3472 foolishness;

24 G1161 But G846 to them G3588 who G2822 are called G5037 , both G2453 Jews G2532 and G1672 Greeks G5547 , Christ G1411 the power G2316 of God G2532 , and G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God.

25 G3754 Because G3474 the foolishness G2316 of God G2076 [G5748] is G4680 wiser than G444 men G2532 ; and G772 the weakness G2316 of God G2076 [G5748] is G2478 stronger than G444 men.

26 G1063 For G991 [G5719] ye see G5216 your G2821 calling G80 , brethren G3754 , that G3756 not G4183 many G4680 wise men G2596 after G4561 the flesh G3756 , not G4183 many G1415 mighty G3756 , not G4183 many G2104 noble, are called:

27 G235 But G2316 God G1586 [G5668] hath chosen G3474 the foolish things G2889 of the world G2443 to G2617 [G5725] confound G4680 the wise G2532 ; and G2316 God G1586 [G5668] hath chosen G772 the weak things G2889 of the world G2443 to G2617 [G5725] confound G2478 the things which are mighty;

28 G2532 And G36 base things G2889 of the world G2532 , and G1848 [G5772] things which are despised G1586 0 , hath G2316 God G1586 [G5668] chosen G2532 , and G3588 things which G5607 [G5752] are G3361 not G2443 , to G2673 [G5661] bring to nought G5607 [G5752] things that are:

29 G3704 That G3361 G3956 no G4561 flesh G2744 [G5667] should glory G1799 G846 in his presence.

30 G1161 But G1537 of G846 him G2075 [G5748] are G5210 ye G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus G3739 , who G575 from G2316 God G1096 [G5675] is made G2254 G5037 to us G4678 wisdom G1343 , and righteousness G2532 , and G38 sanctification G2532 , and G629 redemption:

31 G2443 That G2531 , according as G1125 [G5769] it is written G2744 [G5740] , He that glorieth G2744 [G5737] , let him glory G1722 in G2962 the Lord.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a called Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sosthenes, the brother, ² to the congregation of God which is in Corinth, sanctified by Christ Jesus, called saints; with all, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: ³ favor and peace be with you from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I give thanks to my God always in respect of you; on account of the favor of God, which was given to you through Jesus Christ; ⁵ that you were enriched with every gift, by him; even with all speech, and all knowledge, ⁶ just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you: ⁷ so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the full manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ who will confirm you till the end, without accusation in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom you have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now, brethren, I beseech you by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by some of the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² And I mention this, that each of you says, I, indeed, am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you immersed into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I give thanks to God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ lest any one should say that I immersed into my own name. ¹⁶ And I immersed also the family of Stephanus: besides, I know not whether I immersed any other. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to immerse, but to proclaim the glad tidings; not, however, with wisdom of speech, that the cross of Christ might not be deprived of its efficacy. ¹⁸ For this doctrine (the doctrine of the cross) is, indeed, foolishness to the destroyed; but to us, who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ Therefore, it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will set aside the knowledge of the prudent." ²⁰ Where is the wise man? where the scribe? where the disputers of this world? Has not God shown the wisdom of this world to be folly? ²¹ For, when, in the wisdom of God, the world, through wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, through the foolishness of this proclamation, to save them who believe. ²² And though the Jews demand a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom; ²³ yet we proclaim a crucified Christ: to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness: ²⁴ but to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see the calling of you, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but God has chosen the foolish of the world to put the wise to shame; and the weak God has chosen to put the strong to shame; ²⁸ the ignoble of the world, and the despised, God has chosen; nay, those that are nothing, to reduce to nothing those that are; ²⁹ that not flesh might boast in his presence. ³⁰ Of him, therefore, you are in Christ Jesus, who is become to us wisdom from God, justification, also, and sanctification, and redemption. ³¹ So that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAULOS the called, and the apostle of Jeshu Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and Sosthenis a brother, ² to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, the called, and the saints who in Jeshu Meshiha are sanctified; and to all them who invoke the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in every place, theirs and ours: ³ Grace be with you and peace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁴ I give thanks to Aloha at all times on your behalf for the grace of Aloha which is given to you through Jeshu Meshiha, ⁵ because in every thing you are enriched in him in all utterance and in all knowledge, ⁶ according to the testimony of the Meshiha, which is confirmed in you. ⁷ That you may not be deficient in one of his gifts, but be expecting the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, ⁸ who will confirm you to the end, that you may be without fault in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁹ Faithful is Aloha, by whom you have been called to the fellowship of his Son Jeshu Meshiha our Lord. ¹⁰ But I beseech of you, my brethren, in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that you have all one doctrine, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfect in one mind and one sentiment. ¹¹ For they of the house of Kloë have sent to me concerning you, my brethren, that there are contentions among you. ¹² For this I say, that there are some of you who say, I am of Paulos; and some who say, I am of Apollo; and some who say, I am of Kipha; and some who say, I am of the Meshiha! ¹³ Is the Meshiha divided? Or was Paulos crucified for you? Or in the name of Paulos were you baptized? ¹⁴ I thank Aloha that no man of you I have baptized, but only Krispos and Gaios; ¹⁵ lest any man should say, that in my name I have baptized. ¹⁶ But I baptized also the house of Estepana; beyond (these) I know not that any other man I have baptized. ¹⁷ For the Meshiha sent me not to baptize, but to preach; not with the wisdom of words, lest the cross of the Meshiha should be nullified. ¹⁸ FOR the doctrine of the cross to those who perish is foolishness, but to us who are saved it is the power of Aloha. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will take away the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Or where is the disputer of this world? Hath not . Aloha made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For inasmuch as in the wisdom of Aloha, the world by wisdom hath not known Aloha, it hath pleased Aloha, by the foolishness of preaching, to save them who believe. ²² For the Jihudoyee demand signs, and the Aramoyee require wisdom; ²³ but we preach the Meshiha crucified, a scandal to the Jihudoyee, and to the Aramoyee foolishness; ²⁴ but to them who are called, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, the Meshiha is the power of Aloha, and the wisdom of Aloha. ²⁵ For the foolishness of Aloha is wiser than men, and the weakness of Aloha is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see also your calling, my brethren, that not many among you are wise after the flesh, and not many among you are powerful, and not many among you are of noble birth; [Or, sons of a great family.] ²⁷ but Aloha hath chosen the simple of the world, to shame the wise, and he hath chosen the weak of the world, to shame the mighty, ²⁸ and he hath chosen those of low birth [Or, mean family.] in the world, and the outcasts, and those who are nothing, to bring to nothing those who are; ²⁹ that no flesh may boast before him. ³⁰ But you are of him in Jeshu Meshiha, who hath been made unto us wisdom, of Aloha, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; ³¹ according as it is written, He who boasteth, in the Lord let him boast.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAUL, called and sent by Jesus Messiah in the good pleasure of God; and Sosthenes, a brother; ² to the church of God which is at Corinth, to the people called and sanctified, who are sanctified in Jesus Messiah; and to all them, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, their and our Lord: ³ Grace be with you, and peace; from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah. ⁴ I thank my God at all times on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given to you in Jesus Messiah; ⁵ that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all discourse, and in all knowledge; ⁶ even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed among you: ⁷ so that ye are not inferior in any one of his gifts; but are waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Messiah: ⁸ who will confirm you unto the end, so that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Messiah. ⁹ God is faithful; by whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Messiah, our Lord. ¹⁰ And I beseech you, my Brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, that to you all there may be one language; and that there may be no divisions among you: but that ye may become perfectly of one mind, and of one way of thinking. ¹¹ For concerning you, my Brethren, it hath been reported to me by the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² And this I state: That one of you saith, I am of Paul; and another saith, I am of Apollos; and another saith, I am of Cephas; and another saith, I am of Messiah. ¹³ Now was Messiah divided? Or was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank my God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ lest any one should say, that I baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ I moreover baptized the household of Stephanas: but further, I know not that I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Messiah did not send me to baptize, but to preach; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Messiah should be inefficient. ¹⁸ For a discourse concerning the cross is, to them who perish, foolishness; but to us who live, it is the energy of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will dissipate the intelligence of the sagacious. ²⁰ Where is the wise? Or where is the scribe? Or where is the disputant of this world? Lo, hath not God showed, that the wisdom of this world is folly? ²¹ For in the wisdom of God, because the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to quicken them who believe. ²² Because the Jews ask for signs, and the Gentiles demand wisdom. ²³ But we preach Messiah as crucified; which is a stumbling-block to the Jews, and foolishness to the Gentiles; ²⁴ but to them who are called, both Jews and Gentiles, Messiah is the energy of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God, is wiser than men; and the feebleness of God, is stronger than men. ²⁶ For look also at your calling, my Brethren; that not many among you are wise, according to the flesh; and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you are of high birth. ²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish ones of the world, to shame the wise; and he hath chosen the feeble ones of the world, to shame the mighty; ²⁸ and he hath chosen those of humble birth in the world, and the despised, and them who are nothing, to bring to naught them who are something: ²⁹ so that no flesh might, glory before him. ³⁰ And ye, moreover, are of him in Jesus Messiah; who hath become to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption : ³¹ according to that which is written: He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ^(1:1) PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, ² to the church of God which is at Corinth, to the sanctified in Jesus Christ, called to be saints, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours. ³ Grace and peace be to you from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ ^(1:2) I thank my God always for you, for the grace of God given you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ that in every thing you are enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge, ⁶ as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, ⁷ so that you are behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who also will confirm you to the end, without blame, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful by whom you are called into the society of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ ^(1:3) I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected in the same mind and the same will. ¹¹ For I have been informed of you, my brothers, by the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² I mean this; that each one of you says I indeed am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ that no one may say that I baptized in my name. ¹⁶ And I also baptized the family of Stephanus; besides I do not know that I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the good news, not with a wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ should be without effect. ¹⁸ For the word of the cross is to the lost foolishness, but to the saved the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the intelligent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? where the scribe? where the disputer of this life? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased by the foolishness of preaching to save those that believe; ²² and since the Jews seek signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom, ²³ we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offense, and to the gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ but to the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and wisdom of God; ²⁵ for the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are called]; ²⁷ but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and the weak things of the world has God chosen to put to shame the mighty, ²⁸ and the ignoble things of the world and things that are despised has God chosen, and things that are not, to destroy things that are, ²⁹ that no flesh may glory in the sight of God. ³⁰ But you are of him in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption, ³¹ that as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

Diaglott⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called an apostle of Jesus Anointed, through will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, ² to the congregation of the God to that being in Corinth, having been sanctified in Anointed Jesus, called saints with all those calling upon the name of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed in every place, of them both and of us; ³ favor to you and peace from God Father of us, and Lord Jesus Anointed. ⁴ I give thanks to the God of me always concerning you, for the favor of the God for that having been given to you in Anointed Jesus; ⁵ that in every thing you were enriched in him, in every word and all knowledge, ⁶ (when the testimony of the Anointed was confirmed among you;) ⁷ so that you not to be inferior in any one gracious gift, waiting for the revelation of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed; ⁸ who also will confirm you to an end irreproachable ones in the day of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed. ⁹ Faithful the God, through whom you were called into fellowship of the son of him Jesus Anointed, the Lord of us. ¹⁰ I entreat and you, brethren, through the name of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed, that the same thing you speak all, and not may be among you divisions, you may be but knit together in the same mind and in the same sentiment. ¹¹ It was declared for to me concerning you, brethren of me, by those of Chloe, that contentions among you are. ¹² I say and this, because each one of you says: I indeed am of Paul; I but, of Apollos; I and, of Cephas; I and, of Anointed. ¹³ Has been divided the Anointed? not Paul was crucified on behalf of you? or into the name of Paul were you dipped? ¹⁴ I give thanks to the God, that no one of you I dipped, if not Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ so that not any one may say, that into the my name I dipped. ¹⁶ I dipped and also the Stephanas house; remainder not I know, if any other I dipped. ¹⁷ Not for sent me Anointed to dip, but to announce glad tidings; not in wisdom of speech, so that not may be of no effect the cross of the Anointed. ¹⁸ The word for that of the cross to those indeed being destroyed foolishness is, to those but 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 learning of the intelligent ones I will set aside. ²⁰ Where a wise man? where a scribe? where a disputer of the age this? Not did make foolish the God the wisdom of the world this? ²¹ When for in the wisdom of the God not knew the world through the wisdom the God, was pleased the God, through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those believing. ²² Although and Jews signs are asking, and Greeks wisdom are seeking; ²³ we yet proclaim an Anointed having been crucified, to Jews indeed a stumbling-block, to Gentiles and foolishness; ²⁴ to those but to the called ones, Jews both and Greeks, Anointed of God power and of God wisdom. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of the God, wiser of the man is; and the weakness of the God, stronger of the men is. ²⁶ You see for the calling of you, brethren, that not many wise ones according to flesh, not many strong ones, not many well-born; ²⁷ but the foolish things of the world chose the God, that the wise ones he may shame; and the weak things of the world chose the God, that he may shame the powerful ones; ²⁸ and the low-born of the world and the things having been despised chose the God, and the things not existing, that the things existing he may bring to nothing; ²⁹ so that not may boast all flesh in presence of the God. ³⁰ Out of him but you are in Anointed Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness also and sanctification and redemption; ³¹ so that, even as it has been written: He boasting, in Lord let him boast.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 at Corinth, those 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 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in everything ye were made rich in him, in all utterance and all knowledge; ⁶ according as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you; ⁷ so that ye are behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccused in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ But 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 made complete in the same mind, and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it was made known to me concerning you, my brethren; by those of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² And I mean this, that each of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye immersed in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ that no one may say that I immersed in my own name. ¹⁶ And I immersed also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I immersed any other. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to immerse, but to preach the glad tidings; not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And will bring to nothing the prudence of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Did not God make foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe; ²² since Jews require signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom, ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling-block, and to Gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For see your calling, brethren, that not many are wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame the wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things which are strong; ²⁸ and the base things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, and the things which are not, that he might bring to naught things that are; ²⁹ that no flesh should glory before God. ³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God was made wisdom to us, both righteousness and sanctification, and redemption; ³¹ that, according as it is written: He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAUL, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sostlienes my brother, ² to the church of God which is in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: ³ grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your account, for the grace of God which is given to you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that you are enriched by him in every thing, in all speech, and in all knowledge, ⁶ even as the testimony concerning the Christ was con firmed among you, ⁷ so that you are deficient in no gift, while waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ He also will establish you even to the end, and make you blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom you have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now, I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you, but that you be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it has been made known to me concerning you, my brethren, by the family of Cloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² I mean this: that each one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. ¹³ Is the Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you immersed into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ that no one may say that I immersed into my own name. ¹⁶ I did, in deed, immerse the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I immersed any other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of the Christ should be deprived of its power. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will set aside the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of- this world? ²¹ For, since in the wisdom of God, the world, by its wisdom, knew not God, it has pleased God, through the foolishness of what is preached, to save those who believe. ²² For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek for wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks, foolishness: ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble call you; ²⁷ but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may bring to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen, that he may put to shame the strong; ²⁸ and the ignoble things of the world, and the things that are despised, has God chosen, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are; ²⁹ that no flesh should glory in his presence. ³⁰ But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who has become to us, from God, wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; ³¹ that, as it is written: He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 at Corinth, the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called, holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours; ³ grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I ever thank my God for you, on account of the grace of God bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in him ye were enriched in everything, in all utterance, and all knowledge, ⁶ as the testimony of Christ was established among you; ⁷ so that ye come behind in no gift, while waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ who will also make you steadfast to the end, so that ye may be without blame in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ But 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 united in the same mind and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are dissensions among you. ¹² What I mean is this, that each of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ that no one may say that ye were baptized into my name. ¹⁶ And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; I am not aware that I baptized any one besides. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nought the discernment of the discerning." ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe; ²² since even Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek for wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumblingblock, and to gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For consider, brethren, who ye are that have been called; not many wise men after the fashion of the world, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the things which are strong; ²⁸ and the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are; ²⁹ that no flesh might glory before God. ³⁰ But from him it is that ye are in Christ Jesus, who from God was made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption; ³¹ that, according as it is written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, ² to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place—both theirs and ours: ³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! ⁴ I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all discourse and all knowledge, ⁶ according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you, ⁷ so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who also shall confirm you unto the end—unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁹ faithful is God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
¹⁰ And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment, ¹¹ for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you; ¹² and I say this, that each one of you saith, `I, indeed, am of Paul' —`and I of Apollos,' —`and I of Cephas,' —`and I of Christ.' ¹³ Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;
¹⁴ I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius— ¹⁵ that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize; ¹⁶ and I did baptize also Stephanas' household—further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.
¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but—to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect; ¹⁸ for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us—those being saved—it is the power of God, ¹⁹ for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;' ²⁰ where is the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing. ²² Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom, ²³ also we—we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness, ²⁴ and to those called—both Jews and Greeks—Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God, ²⁵ because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men; ²⁶ for see your calling, brethren, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong; ²⁸ and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless— ²⁹ that no flesh may glory before Him; ³⁰ and of Him ye—ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption, ³¹ that, according as it hath been written, `He who is glorying—in the Lord let him glory.'

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called, sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, ² To the church of God being in Corinth, to the consecrated in Christ Jesus, to the Called holy ones, with all calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours: ³ Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I return thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God given you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ That in every thing we were enriched in him, in all the word, and all knowledge; ⁶ As the testimony of Jesus Christ was made firm in you: ⁷ So that ye are not wanting in any grace; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ Who also shall make you firm even to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God faithful, by whom we were called to the communion of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ And I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same, and there be no divisions in you; and ye be set in order in the same mind and in the same knowledge. ¹¹ For it was manifested to me concerning you, my brethren, by them of Chloe, that there are contentions with you. ¹² And this I say, that each of you says, I truly am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. ¹³ Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you? or in Paul's name were ye immersed ¹⁴ I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ Lest any should say that in my name I have immersed. ¹⁶ And I immersed also the house of Stephanas: besides, I know not if I immersed any other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to announce good news: not in wisdom of word, lest the cross of Christ be made void. ¹⁸ For truly the word of the cross to them perishing is foolishness; but to us saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and put away the understanding of the intelligent. ²⁰ Where the wise? where the scribe? where the seekers together of this life has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was contented by the foolishness of proclaiming to save them believing. ²² And since the Jews ask a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom: ²³ And we proclaim Christ crucified, to the Jews truly a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; ²⁴ And to these the called, to both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolish thing of God is wiser than men; and the weak thing of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many powerful, not, many well born: ²⁷ But the foolish things of the world, has God chosen that he might shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen that he might shame things strong; ²⁸ And the ignoble things of the world, and the despised things, has God chosen, and things not being, that the things being he might leave unemployed: ²⁹ That no flesh might boast before him. ³⁰ And ye are of him in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and also justice, and consecration, and holiness: ³¹ That, as it has been written, Let him boasting, boast in the Lord.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God`s will, and Sosthenes the brother, ² to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours: ³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge, ⁶ (according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you,) ⁷ so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion. ¹¹ For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you. ¹² But I speak of this, that each of you says, *I* am of Paul, and *I* of Apollos, and *I* of Cephas, and *I* of Christ. ¹³ Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name. ¹⁶ Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other. ¹⁷ For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain. ¹⁸ For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God`s power. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones. ²⁰ Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe. ²² Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom; ²³ but *we* preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness; ²⁴ but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God`s power and God`s wisdom. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born. ²⁷ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things; ²⁸ and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are; ²⁹ so that no flesh should boast before God. ³⁰ But of him are *ye* in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption; ³¹ that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, ² 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 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge; ⁶ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: ⁷ so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye be] unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ 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 For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them [which are of the household] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² 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 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name. ¹⁶ And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. ¹⁷ 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 For the word of the cross is to them that are perishing foolishness; but unto us which are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the prudence of the prudent will I reject. ²⁰ 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? ²¹ 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 Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom: ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness; ²⁴ but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For behold your calling, brethren, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: ²⁷ 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 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 that no flesh should glory before God. ³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹ that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought. ²⁰ 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? ²¹ 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 Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom: ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness; ²⁴ but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
²⁶ For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: ²⁷ 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 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 that no flesh should glory before God. ³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹ that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

1 G3972 Paul, G2822 called G652 to be an apostle G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G1223 through G2307 the will G2316 of God, G2532 and G4988 Sosthenes G80 our brother,

2 G1577 unto the church G2316 of God G5607 which is G1722 at G2882 Corinth, G37 even them that are sanctified G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus, G2822 called G40 to be saints, G4862 with G3956 all G1941 that call upon G3686 the name G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G1722 in G3956 every G5117 place, G5037 G846 their G2532 Lord and G2257 ours:

3 G5485 Grace G5213 to you G2532 and G1515 peace G575 from G2316 God G2257 our G3962 Father G2532 and G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

4 G2168 I thank G3450 my G2316 God G3842 always G4012 concerning G5216 you, G1909 for G5485 the grace G2316 of God G3588 which was G1325 given G5213 you G5213 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus;

5 G3754 that G1722 in G3956 everything G4148 ye were enriched G1722 in G846 him, G1722 in G3956 all G3056 utterance G2532 and G3956 all G1108 knowledge;

6 G2531 even as G3142 the testimony G5547 of Christ G950 was confirmed G1722 in G5213 you:

7 G5620 so that G5209 ye G5302 come behind G1722 in G3361 no G3367 G5486 gift; G553 waiting for G602 the revelation G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ;

8 G3739 who shall G2532 also G950 confirm G5209 you G2193 unto G5056 the end, G410 that ye be unreproveable G1722 in G2250 the day G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G2316 God G4103 is faithful, G1223 through G3739 whom G2564 ye were called G1519 into G2842 the fellowship G846 of his G5207 Son G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2257 our G2962 Lord.

10 G1161 Now G3870 I beseech G5209 you, G80 brethren, G1223 through G3686 the name G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G2443 that G3004 ye G3956 all G3004 speak G846 the same thing G2532 and G5600 that there be G3361 no G4978 divisions G1722 among G5213 you; G1161 but G5600 that ye be G2675 perfected together G1722 in G846 the same G3563 mind G2532 and G1722 in G846 the same G1106 judgment.

11 G1063 For G1213 it hath been signified G3427 unto me G4012 concerning G5216 you, G3450 my G80 brethren, G5259 by G3588 them G5514 that are of the household of Chloe, G3754 that G1526 there are G2054 contentions G1722 among G5213 you.

12 G1161 Now G5124 this G3004 I mean, G3754 that G1538 each one G5216 of you G3004 saith, G1473 I G3303 G1510 am G3972 of Paul; G1161 and G1473 I G625 of Apollos: G1161 and G1473 I G2786 of Cephas; G1161 and G1473 I G5547 of Christ.

13 G3307 Is G5547 Christ G3307 divided? G3361 G4717 was G3972 Paul G4717 crucified G5228 for G5216 you? G2228 or G907 were ye baptized G1519 into G3686 the name G3972 of Paul?

14 G2168 I thank G2316 God G3754 that G907 I baptized G3762 none G5216 of you, G1487 save G3361 G2921 Crispus G2532 and G1050 Gaius;

15 G2443 lest G3361 G5100 any G2036 man should say G3754 that G907 ye were baptized G1519 into G1699 my G3686 name.

16 G1161 And G907 I baptized G2532 also G3624 the household G4734 of Stephanas: G3063 besides, G1492 I know G3756 not G1487 whether G907 I baptized G5100 any G243 other.

17 G1063 For G5547 Christ G649 sent G3165 me G3756 not G907 to baptize, G235 but G2097 to preach the gospel: G3756 not G1722 in G4678 wisdom G3056 of words, G2443 lest G3361 G4716 the cross G5547 of Christ G2758 should be made void.

18 G1063 For G3056 the word G4716 of the cross G2076 is G3588 to them G622 that perish G3303 G3472 foolishness; G1161 but G2254 unto us G4982 who are saved G2076 it is G1411 the power G2316 of God.

19 G1063 For G1125 it is written, G622 I will destroy G4678 the wisdom G4680 of the wise, G2532 And G4907 the discernment G4908 of the discerning G114 will I bring to nought.

20 G4226 Where G4680 is the wise? G4226 where G1122 is the scribe? G4226 where G4804 is the disputer G5127 of this G165 world? G3780 hath not G2316 God G3471 made foolish G4678 the wisdom G5127 of the G2889 world?

21 G1063 For G1894 seeing that G1722 in G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God G2889 the world G1223 through G4678 its wisdom G1097 knew G3756 not G2316 God, G2316 it was God's G2106 good pleasure G1223 through G3472 the foolishness G2782 of the preaching G4982 to save G3588 them G4100 that believe.

22 G1894 Seeing G2532 G2453 that Jews G154 ask G4592 for signs, G2532 and G1672 Greeks G2212 seek G4678 after wisdom:

23 G1161 but G2249 we G2784 preach G5547 Christ G4717 crucified, G2453 unto Jews G3303 G4625 a stumblingblock, G1161 and G1672 unto Gentiles G3472 foolishness;

24 G1161 but G846 unto them G3588 that G2822 are called, G5037 both G2453 Jews G2532 and G1672 Greeks, G5547 Christ G1411 the power G2316 of God, G2532 and G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God.

25 G3754 Because G3474 the foolishness G2316 of God G2076 is G4680 wiser G444 than men; G2532 and G772 the weakness G2316 of God G2076 is G2478 stronger G444 than men.

26 G1063 For G991 behold G5216 your G2821 calling, G80 brethren, G3754 that G3756 not G4183 many G4680 wise G2596 after G4561 the flesh, G3756 not G4183 many G1415 mighty, G3756 not G4183 many G2104 noble, are called:

27 G235 but G2316 God G1586 chose G3474 the foolish things G2889 of the world, G2443 that he might put to G2617 shame G4680 them that are wise; G2532 and G2316 God G1586 chose G772 the weak things G2889 of the world, G2443 that he might put to G2617 shame G3588 the things G2478 that are strong;

28 G2532 and G36 the base things G2889 of the world, G2532 and G3588 the things G1848 that are despised, G1586 did G2316 God G1586 choose, G2532 yea and G3588 the things G5607 that are G3361 not, G2443 that he might bring to G2673 nought G3588 the things G5607 that are:

29 G3704 that G3361 no G3956 G4561 flesh G2744 should glory G1799 before G846 God.

30 G1161 But G1537 of G846 him G2075 are G5210 ye G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus, G3739 who G1096 was made G2254 unto us G4678 wisdom G575 from G2316 God, G5037 and G1343 righteousness G2532 and G38 sanctification, G2532 and G629 redemption:

31 G2443 that, G2531 according as G1125 it is written, G3588 He G2744 that glorieth, G2744 let him glory G1722 in G2962 the Lord.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through God’s will,––and Sosthenes the brother,–– ² Unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints,––with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place,––their Lord and ours: ³ Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto you in Christ Jesus,–– ⁵ That, in everything, ye have been enriched in him––in all discourse and in all knowledge; ⁶ Even as, the witness of the Christ, hath been confirmed in you, ⁷ So that ye come short in no gift of favour,––ardently awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁸ Who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable in the day of our Lord Jesus [Christ]: ⁹ Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
¹⁰ But I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,––that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly joined together––in the same mind, and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it hath been signified unto me, concerning you, my brethren,––by them who are of [the household of] Chloe,––that there are strifes among you, ¹² Now I mean this,––that, each one of you, is saying––I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ: ¹³ The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed?
¹⁴ I give thanks, that, none of you, did I immerse––save Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ Lest any should say––into my own name, I immersed: ¹⁶ Yea! I immersed the house of Stephanas also,––besides, I know not whether, anyone else, I immersed.
¹⁷ For Christ sent me not, to be immersing, but to be telling the good news,––not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ. ¹⁸ For, the discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved––unto us, it is, God’s power. ¹⁹ For it is written––I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside. ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well–pleased––through the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, to save them that believe. ²² Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek, ²³ Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified,––unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness; ²⁴ But, unto the called themselves––both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God’s power, and, God’s wisdom. ²⁵ Because, God’s foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God’s weak thing, mightier than men. ²⁶ For be looking at the calling of you, brethren,––that [there were] not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high–born: ²⁷ On the contrary––the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty, ²⁸ And, the low–born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen,––[and] the things that are not,––that, the things that are, he might bring to nought; ²⁹ So that no flesh should boast before God. ³⁰ But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God,––both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹ In order that, even as it is written––He that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the Church of God in Corinth, to those who have been consecrated by union with Christ Jesus and called to become his People, and also to all, wherever they may be, who invoke the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ-their Master and ours, ² From Paul, who has been called to be an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, And from Sosthenes, our Brother. ³ May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace. ⁴ I always thank God about you for the blessing bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus. ⁵ For through union with him you were enriched in every way-in your power to preach, and in your knowledge of the Truth; ⁶ And so became yourselves a confirmation of my testimony to the Christ. ⁷ And thus there is no gift in which you are deficient, while waiting for the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ And God himself will strengthen you to the end, so that at the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ you may be found blameless. ⁹ God will not fail you, and it is he who called you into communion with his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. ¹⁰ But I appeal to you, Brothers, by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you profess, and not to allow divisions to exist among you, but to be united-of one mind and of one opinion. ¹¹ For I have been informed, my Brothers, by the members of Chloe's household, that party feeling exists among you. ¹² I mean this, that every one of you says either 'I follow Paul,' or 'I Apollos,' or 'I Kephas,' or 'I Christ.' ¹³ You have rent the Christ in pieces! Was it Paul who was crucified for you? or were you baptized into the Faith of Paul? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ So that no one can say that you were baptized into my Faith. ¹⁶ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. I do not know that I baptized any one else. ¹⁷ My mission from Christ was not to baptize, but to tell the Good News; not, however, in the language of philosophy, lest the cross of the Christ should be robbed of its meaning. ¹⁸ The Message of the Cross is indeed mere folly to those who are in the path to Ruin, but to us who are in the path of Salvation it is the very power of God. ¹⁹ For Scripture says-'I will bring the philosophy of the philosophers to nought, and the shrewdness of the shrewd I will make of no account.' ²⁰ Where is the Philosopher? where the Teacher of the Law? where the Disputant of to-day? Has not God shown the world's philosophy to be folly? ²¹ For since the world, in God's wisdom, did not by its philosophy learn to know God, God saw fit, by the 'folly' of our proclamation, to save those who believe in Christ! ²² While Jews ask for miraculous signs, and Greeks study philosophy, ²³ We are proclaiming Christ crucified!-to the Jews an obstacle, to the Gentiles mere folly, ²⁴ But to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the Power of God and the Wisdom of God! ²⁵ For God's 'folly' is wiser than men, and God's 'weakness' is stronger than men. ²⁶ Look at the facts of your Call, Brothers. There are not many among you who are wise, as men reckon wisdom, not many who are influential, not many who are high-born; ²⁷ But God chose what the world counts foolish to put its wise men to shame, and God chose what the world counts weak to put its strong things to shame, ²⁸ And God chose what the world counts poor and insignificant-- things that to it are unreal-to bring its 'realities' to nothing, ²⁹ So that in his presence no human being should boast. ³⁰ But you, by your union with Christ Jesus, belong to God; and Christ, by God's will, became not only our Wisdom, but also our Righteousness, Holiness, and Deliverance, ³¹ So that-in the words of Scripture-'Let him who boasts make his boast of the Lord!'

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes, ² to the church of God being in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, along with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours: ³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I give thanks to my God always in your behalf, for the grace of God given unto you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ because in everything you are enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge; ⁶ as the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you; ⁷ so that you are deficient in no spiritual gift; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ who will also establish you unblamable unto the end in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁰ But I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you may all speak the same things, and that there may be no schisms among you; but you may be perfected in the same mind and in the same disposition. ¹¹ For it has been revealed to me concerning you, my brethren, by those who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² And I say this, that each one says, I indeed am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ in order that no one may say that you are baptized in my name. ¹⁶ But I baptized also the family of Stephanas: besides, I know not if I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with the wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made of none effect. ¹⁸ For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those who are saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the understanding of the intelligent. ²⁰ Where is the wise man? where is the scribe? where is the investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness? ²¹ For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. ²² Since indeed the Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks seek after wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness; ²⁴ but to you who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many influential, not many high-born: ²⁷ but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong; ²⁸ and God has chosen the base-born of the world, and those of no reputation, the things which are not, that He may set at nought the things which are, ²⁹ in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God. ³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹ in order that, as it has been written, Let him that glorieth glory in the Lord.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God--and our brother Sosthenes: ² 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 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus-- ⁵ that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge. ⁶ Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience, ⁷ 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 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 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 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 For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you. ¹² 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 Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents? ¹⁴ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius-- ¹⁵ for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents. ¹⁶ I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else. ¹⁷ 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 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 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 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? ²¹ 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 Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom, ²³ while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ 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 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 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 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 to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God. ³⁰ 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 it may be as Scripture says, "HE WHO BOASTS--LET HIS BOAST BE IN THE LORD."

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, ² to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called saints, with all, in every place, who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours: ³ Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in everything ye were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge; ⁶ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you; ⁷ so that ye fall short in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ Who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, through Whom ye were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ 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 in the same mind, and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² Now I mean this: that each one of you is saying, "I am of Paul;" and "I of Apollos;" and "I of Cephas:" and "I of Christ!" ¹³ Hath Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye immersed into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I immersed no one of you, except Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ lest some one should say that ye were immersed into my name. ¹⁶ And I immersed also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I immersed any other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to proclaim the Gospel; not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. ¹⁸ For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness; but to those who are being saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it has been written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning will I set aside." ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For, since in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe; ²² seeing that both Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, a stumbling-block, and to the gentiles foolishness; ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For ye behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are chosen; ²⁷ but God chose the foolish things of the world, that He might put to shame the wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that He might put to shame the things that are strong; ²⁸ and the base things of the world, and things despised, did God choose, and the things that are not, that He might bring to nought the things that are; ²⁹ that no flesh should glory before God. ³⁰ But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, Who was made to us wisdom from God, also righteousness, and holiness, and redemption; ³¹ that, even as it has been written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, with brother Sosthenes, ² to the church of God at Corinth, to those who are consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, as well as to all who, wherever they may be, invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord no less than ours: ³ grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I always thank my God for the grace of God that has been bestowed on you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ in him you have received a wealth of all blessing, full power to speak of your faith and full insight into its meaning, ⁶ all of which verifies the testimony we bore to Christ when we were with you. ⁷ Thus you lack no spiritual endowment during these days of waiting till our Lord Jesus Christ is revealed; ⁸ and to the very end he will guarantee that you are vindicated on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Faithful is the God who called you to this fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ I beg of you all to drop these party-cries. There must be no cliques among you; you must regain your common temper and attitude. ¹¹ For Chloe's people inform me that you are quarrelling. ¹² By 'quarrelling' I mean that each of you has his party-cry, "I belong to Paul," "And I to Apollos," "And I to Cephas," "And I to Christ." ¹³ Has Christ been parcelled out? Was it Paul who was crucified for you? Was it in Paul's name that you were baptized? ¹⁴ I am thankful now that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one can say you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ (Well, I did baptize the household of Stephanas, but no one else, as far as I remember.) ¹⁷ Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel. And to preach it with no fine rhetoric, lest the cross of Christ should lose its power! ¹⁸ Those who are doomed to perish find the story of the cross 'sheer folly,' but it means the power of God for those whom he saves. ¹⁹ It is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the sages, I will confound the insight of the wise. ²⁰ Sage, scribe, critic of this world, where are they all? Has not God stultified the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For when the world with all its wisdom failed to know God in his wisdom, God resolved to save believers by the 'sheer folly' of the Christian message. ²² Jews demand miracles and Greeks want wisdom, ²³ but our message is Christ the crucified — a stumbling-block to the Jews, 'sheer folly' to the Gentiles, ²⁴ but for those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, a Christ who is the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the 'foolishness' of God is wiser than men, and the 'weakness' of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ Why, look at your own ranks, my brothers; not many wise men (that is, judged by human standards), not many leading men, not many of good birth, have been called! ²⁷ No, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame what is strong; ²⁸ God has chosen what is mean and despised in the world — things which are not, to put down things that are; ²⁹ that no person may boast in the sight of God. ³⁰ This is the God to whom you owe your being in Christ Jesus, whom God has made our 'Wisdom,' that is, our righteousness and consecration and redemption; ³¹ so that, as it is written, let him who boasts boast of the Lord.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, by the will of God called as an apostle of Jesus Christ, and our brother Sosthenes, ² to the church of God at Corinth, to those who are consecrated by union with Christ Jesus, and called as God's people, like all those anywhere who call on the name of Jesus Christ, their Lord as well as ours; ³ God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace. ⁴ I am always thanking God about you, for the blessing God has given you through Christ Jesus. ⁵ For you have grown rich in everything through union with him—in power of expression and in capacity for knowledge. ⁶ So your experience has confirmed the testimony that I bore to Christ, ⁷ and there is no gift that you lack even while you are waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to reappear, ⁸ and at the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ he will insure your complete vindication. ⁹ God can be depended on, and it was he who called you to this fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ But I urge you all, brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you say, and not to allow factions among you, but to be perfectly united in mind and judgment. ¹¹ For I have been informed, my brothers, by Chloe's people, that quarrels are going on among you. ¹² What I mean is this, that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul," another, "And I, of Apollos," another, "And I, of Cephas," and another, "And I, of Christ!" ¹³ Christ has been divided up! But was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I never baptized any of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one could say that you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ And I did baptize the members of the household of Stephanas too; I do not know whether I baptized anyone else besides. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the good news—but not with fine language, or the cross of Christ might seem an empty thing. ¹⁸ For to those who are on the way to destruction, the story of the cross is nonsense, but to us who are to be saved, it means all the power of God. ¹⁹ For the Scripture says, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And I will thwart the shrewdness of the shrewd!" ²⁰ Where now is your philosopher? Your scribe? Your reasoner of today? Has not God made a fool of the world's wisdom? ²¹ For since in God's providence the world with all its wisdom did not come to know God, God chose, through the folly of the gospel message, to save those who had faith in him. ²² For Jews insist upon miracles, and Greeks demand philosophy, ²³ but we proclaim a Christ who was crucified—an idea that is revolting to Jews and absurd to the heathen, ²⁴ but to those whom God has called, whether they are Jews or Greeks, a Christ who is God's power and God's wisdom. ²⁵ For God's folly is beyond the wisdom of men, and God's weakness is beyond their strength. ²⁶ For consider, brothers, what happened when God called you. Not many of you were what men call wise, not many of you were influential, not many were of high birth. ²⁷ But it was what the world calls foolish that God chose to put the wise to shame with, and it was what the world calls weak that God chose to shame its strength with, ²⁸ and it was what the world calls low and insignificant and unreal that God chose to nullify its realities, ²⁹ so that in his presence no human being might have anything to boast of. ³⁰ But you are his children, through your union with Christ Jesus, whom God has made our wisdom—our uprightness and consecration and redemption, ³¹ so that, as the Scripture says, "Let him who would boast, boast of the Lord!"

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAUL called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and Sosthenes our brother, ² to the Church of God in Corinth, made holy in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: ³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ! ⁴ I am always thanking God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ that you are rich in him in everything, in readiness of speech and in all knowledge, ⁶ so that my testimony to Christ has been confirmed among you ⁷ and so that you are not lacking in any gift while waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. ⁸ He will keep you strong to the end and free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, and it is by him that you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ I beg you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, all to say the same thing and not to have divisions among you, but to be united in the same mind and in the same opinion. ¹¹ For it has been told me regarding you, brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you. ¹² I mean that each of you is saying, "I belong to Paul," "I belong to Apollos," "I belong to Cephas," or, "I belong to Christ." ¹³ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I baptized no one of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know that I baptized any one else. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the good news — not in wisdom of words, that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of meaning. ¹⁸ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and I will bring to nought the prudence of the prudent." ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For when in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased to save through the foolishness of our proclamation those who believe. ²² Jews ask for signs and Greeks seek for wisdom, ²³ but we proclaim Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, to Gentiles folly, ²⁴ but to those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For God's foolishness is wiser than men and God's weakness is stronger than men. ²⁶ Consider your own call, brethren, that not many wise, humanly speaking, not many powerful, not many high-born have been called. ²⁷ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the strong, ²⁸ and God has chosen the low-born things and the things of no account, the things that are not, to defeat the things that are, ²⁹ that no human being may boast in God's presence. ³⁰ By God's act you are in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God and righteousness and holiness and deliverance, ³¹ so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes, his brother. ² to the Church of God at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. ³ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I am always thanking God on your behalf, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in everything you have been enriched in him, in all speech, and in all knowledge ⁶ (for thus my witness for Christ was confirmed among you); ⁷ so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreproveable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I beg you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to speak in accord, all of you, and to have no divisions among you, but to be knit together in a common mind and temper. ¹¹ For it has been plainly told me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you. ¹² I mean by this that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul"; another, "I of Apollos"; another, "I of Cephas"; another, "I of Christ." ¹³ Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized? ¹⁴ I am thankful to God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one can say you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ Yes, I did baptize the house of Stephanas also, but I do not think I baptized any one else. ¹⁷ For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing. ¹⁸ For the message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For thus it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the philosophers, And the prudence of the prudent will I confound. ²⁰ Sage, rabbi, skeptic of this present age—where are they all? Has not God made foolish the philosophy of the world? ²¹ For when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe. ²² Jews continue to ask for miracles and Greeks are ever wanting philosophy, ²³ but we come preaching a crucified Messiah—to Jews a stumbling-block, to Greeks foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For consider your own calling, brothers, that not many wise in earthly wisdom, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, have been called. ²⁷ No, God has chosen the world's folly to confound its philosophy; and the world's weakness to confound its strength. ²⁸ The world's base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are; ²⁹ so that no mortal man should glory in his presence. ³⁰ It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, ³¹ so that as Scripture says, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother SosÆthe-nes, ² Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, the invited and holy ones who are sanctified by Jesus Christ, and to all of them in every place who invoke the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours: ³ Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and from our LORD Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God that has been given to you by Jesus Christ; ⁵ For in everything you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; ⁶ Because the testimony of Christ has been confirmed in you: ⁷ And you do not lack any of his gifts but wait for the manifestation of our LORD Jesus Christ: ⁸ Who will also strengthen you to the end so that you may be blameless in the day of our LORD Jesus Christ. ⁹ God, by whom you have been called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our LORD, is trustworthy. ¹⁰ Now I beseech you, my brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, to be of one accord, and let there be no divisions among you but be perfectly united in one mind and in one thought. ¹¹ For I have been informed about you, my brethren, by the household of ChloÆe that there are disputes among you. ¹² Now this I say, because there are some among you who say, I am a follower of Paul; and some who say, I am a follower of ApolÆlos; and some who say, I am a follower of CeÆphas; and some who say, I am a follower of Christ. ¹³ Why? Is Christ divided? or was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I confess to my God that I have baptized none of you, except CrisÆpus and GaÆius; ¹⁵ So no man can say that I have baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ And I baptized also the household of StephÆa-nas. I do not know whether I have baptized any one else. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel: and not to rely on the wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be in vain. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross * to those who have gone astray is foolishness; but to us who are saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will do away with the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the learned of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ Because all the wisdom which God had given was not sufficient for the world to know God, it pleased God to save those who believe by the simple gospel. ²² For the Jews demand signs, and the Syrians seek after wisdom: ²³ But we preach Christ crucified, which is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Syrians. * ²⁴ But for those who are called, both Jews and Syrians, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For consider also your own calling, my brethren, not many among you are wise in terms of worldly things, and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you belong to the nobility. ²⁷ But God has chosen the foolish ones of the world to put the wise to shame; and God has chosen the weak ones of the world to embarrass the mighty; ²⁸ And he has chosen those of humble families in the world, and the lowly, and those who are insignificant, in order to belittle those who consider themselves important, ²⁹ So that no man should boast in his presence. ³⁰ But you also belong to God through Jesus Christ who, from God, is wisdom and righteousness and sanctification, and salvation to all of us. ³¹ As it is written, He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a called apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Sosthenes, a brother, ² to the ecclesia of God which is in Corinth, hallowed in Christ Jesus, called saints, together with all in every place who are invoking the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:" ³ Grace to you and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ." ⁴ I am thanking my God always concerning you over the grace of God which is being given you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ for in everything are you enriched in him, in all expression and all knowledge, ⁶ according as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you, ⁷ so that you are not deficient in any grace, awaiting the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ Who will be confirming you also until the consummation, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." ⁹ Faithful is God, through Whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord." ¹⁰ Now I am entreating you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all may be saying the same thing, and there may be no schisms among you, but you may be attuned to the same mind and to the same opinion." ¹¹ For it was made evident to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that there are strifes among you." ¹² Now I am saying this, that each of you is saying, "I, indeed, am of Paul,yet "I of Apollos,yet "I of Cephas,yet "I of Christ." ¹³ Christ is parted! Not Paul was crucified for your sakes! Or into the name of Paul are you baptized? ¹⁴ I am thanking God that I baptize not one of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ lest anyone may be saying that you are baptized into my name. ¹⁶ Yet I baptize the household of Stephanas also. Furthermore, I am not aware if I baptize any other." ¹⁷ For Christ does not commission me to be baptizing, but to be bringing the evangel, not in wisdom of word, lest the cross of Christ may be made void." ¹⁸ For the word of the cross is stupidity, indeed, to those who are perishing, yet to us who are being saved it is the power of God." ¹⁹ For it is written, I shall be destroying the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of the intelligent shall I be repudiating." ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the discusser of this eon? Does not God make stupid the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For since, in fact, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom knew not God, God delights, through the stupidity of the heralding, to save those who are believing, ²² since, in fact, Jews signs are requesting, and Greeks wisdom are seeking, ²³ yet we are heralding Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a snare, yet to the nations stupidity, ²⁴ yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God, ²⁵ for the stupidity of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." ²⁶ For you are observing your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh; not many powerful, not many noble, ²⁷ but the stupidity of the world God chooses, that He may be disgracing the wise, and the weakness of the world God chooses, that He may be disgracing the strong, ²⁸ and the ignoble and the contemptible things of the world God chooses, and that which is not, that He may be discarding that which is, ²⁹ so that no flesh at all should be boasting in God's sight. ³⁰ Yet you, of Him, are in Christ Jesus, Who became to us wisdom from God, besides righteousness and holiness and deliverance, ³¹ that, according as it is written, He who is boasting, in the Lord let him be boasting."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, by the will of God called as an apostle of Jesus Christ, and our brother Sosthenes, ² to the church of God at Corinth, to those who are consecrated by union with Christ Jesus, and called to be God's people, in fellowship with those who anywhere call upon the name of Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: ³ spiritual blessing and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I am always thanking God for you, for the spiritual blessing given you by God through union with Christ Jesus; ⁵ because you have in everything been richly blessed through union with Him, with perfect expression and fullness of knowledge. ⁶ In this way my testimony to Christ has been confirmed in your experience, ⁷ so that there is no spiritual gift in which you consciously come short, while you are waiting for the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ and to the very end He will guarantee that you are vindicated at the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is entirely trustworthy, and it is He through whom you have been called into this fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I beg you all, brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, to be harmonious in what you say and not to have factions among you, but to be perfectly harmonious in your minds and judgments. ¹¹ For I have been informed about you, my brothers, by Chloe's people, that there are wranglings among you. ¹² I mean this, that one of you says, "I belong to Paul's party," another, "And I belong to Apollos' party," another, "And I belong to Cephas' party," another, "And I belong to Christ's party." ¹³ Christ has been parceled out by you! It was not Paul who was crucified for you, was it? You were not baptized in Paul's name, were you? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so as to keep anyone from saying that you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ Yes, I did baptize the family of Stephanas, too; I do not now recall that I baptized anyone else. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the good news -- but not by means of wisdom and rhetoric, so that the cross of Christ may not be emptied of its power. ¹⁸ For the message of the cross is nonsense to those who are in the process of being destroyed, but it is the power of God to those who are in the process of being saved. ¹⁹ For the Scripture says: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the learning of the learned." ²⁰ So where is your philosopher? Where is your man of letters? Where is your logician of this age? Has not God shown up the nonsense of the world's wisdom? ²¹ For since in accordance with the wisdom of God the world had never in reality, by means of its wisdom, come to know God, God chose through the nonsense of the message proclaimed, to save the people who put their faith in Him. ²² While Jews are demanding spectacular signs and Greeks are searching for philosophy, ²³ we are preaching the Christ who was crucified -- a message that is a trap-stick to the Jews and nonsense to the Greeks, ²⁴ but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks alike, the Christ who is God's power and God's wisdom. ²⁵ It is so, because God's nonsense is wiser than men's wisdom, and God's weakness is mightier than men's might. ²⁶ For consider, brothers, the way God called you; that not many of you, in accordance with human standards, were wise, not many influential, not many of high birth. ²⁷ Just the opposite: God chose what the world calls foolish to put the wise to shame, what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame, ²⁸ what the world calls of low degree, yea, what it counts as nothing and what it thinks does not exist, God chose to put a stop to what it thinks exists, ²⁹ so that no mortal man might ever boast in the presence of God. ³⁰ So you owe it all to Him through union with Christ Jesus, whom God has made our wisdom, our means of right standing, our consecration, and our redemption, ³¹ so that, as the Scripture says, "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Sosthenes the brother, ² To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: ³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ So that in him you have wealth in all things, in word and in knowledge of every sort; ⁶ Even as the witness of the Christ has been made certain among you: ⁷ So that having every grace you are living in the hope of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ Who will give you strength to the end, to be free from all sin in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion. ¹¹ Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers. ¹² That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's. ¹³ Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name. ¹⁶ And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas; but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value. ¹⁸ For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God. ¹⁹ As it says in the holy Writings, I will put an end to the wisdom of the wise, and will put on one side the designs of those who have knowledge. ²⁰ Where is the wise? where is he who has knowledge of the law? where is the man of this world who has a love of discussion? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For because, by the purpose of God, the world, with all its wisdom, had not the knowledge of God, it was God's pleasure, by so foolish a thing as preaching, to give salvation to those who had faith in him. ²² Seeing that the Jews make request for signs, and the Greeks are looking for knowledge: ²³ But we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles; ²⁴ But to those of God's selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble: ²⁷ But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong; ²⁸ And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are: ²⁹ So that no flesh might have glory before God. ³⁰ But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy: ³¹ So that, as it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, ² to the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called out with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours. ³ Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God given you in Jesus Christ, ⁵ that in everything you are enriched by Him, in all speech and in all knowledge; ⁶ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you; ⁷ so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ He shall also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom you were called to the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ But I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² But I say this, that every one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ And I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides these, I do not know if I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the perceiving ones." ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom did not know God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. ²² For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness. ²⁴ But to them, the called-out ones, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolish thing of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise men according to the flesh are called, not many mighty, not many noble. ²⁷ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; ²⁸ and God has chosen the base things of the world, and things which are despised, and things which are not, in order to bring to nothing things that are; ²⁹ so that no flesh should glory in His presence. ³⁰ But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; ³¹ so that, according as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord."

SALUTATION
Paulos, a called apostle of Yah Shua Messiah through the will of Elohim and Sossoes our brother: ² To the ecclesia of Elohim being in Corinth, hallowed in Messiah Yah Shua - called holy; with all who in every place call on the name of Yah Shua Messiah our Adonay - both theirs and ours: ³ Charism to you and shalom of Elohim our Father and Adonay Yah Shua Messiah. ⁴
CHARISM AND CHARISMA
I always eucharistize my Elohim, concerning you, for the charism of Elohim given you in Yah Shua Messiah; ⁵ that you enrich in him in all - in all word and all knowledge; ⁶ exactly as the witness of the Messiah establishes in you: ⁷ so that you fail in no charisma; awaiting the apocalypse of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah: ⁸ who also establishes you to completion/shalom, - unaccusable in the day of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah. ⁹ Elohim is trustworthy, through whom you were called to the communion of his Son Yah Shua Messiah our Adonay. ¹⁰
SCHISMS IN THE ECCLESIA
And I beseech you brothers, through the name of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah, that you all word the same and that there be no schisms among you; and that you prepare in the same mind and in the same opinion. ¹¹ For it was evidenced to me concerning you my brothers, by them of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² And I word this - that each of you words, I am indeed of Paulos; and I of Apollos; and I of Kepha; and I of Messiah. ¹³ Is the Messiah divided? Was Paulos staked for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paulos? ¹⁴ I eucharistize Elohim that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ lest any say that I baptized in my name: ¹⁶ and I also baptized the house of Stephanas; finally, I know not if I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Messiah apostolized me not to baptize but to evangelize: not in wisdom of words lest the stake of the Messiah be voided. ¹⁸ For the word of the stake is to them who destruct, foolishness indeed; and to us, being saved, the dynamis of Elohim. ¹⁹ For it is scribed, I destroy the wisdom of the wise and set aside the comprehension of the comprehending. ^{Isaiah 29:14} ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this eon? Elohim indeed, follies he not the wisdom of this cosmos? ²¹ For since in the wisdom of Elohim the cosmos knew not Elohim through wisdom, Elohim well-approved that through the foolishness of preaching to save them who trust. ²² Since the Yah Hudiym ask a sign and the Hellenes seek after wisdom: ²³ we also - we preach Messiah staked - to the Yah Hudiym, indeed a scandal and to the Hellenes foolishness; ²⁴ and to the called - both Yah Hudiym and Hellenes, Messiah - the dynamis of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of Elohim is wiser than humanity; and the frailty of Elohim mightier than humanity. ²⁶ For you see your calling brothers, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many able, not many well-birthed: ²⁷ But Elohim selects the foolish of the cosmos to shame the wise; and Elohim selects the frailties of the cosmos to shame the mighty; ²⁸ and the ignoble of the cosmos and the belittled Elohim selects; yes, and those not being to inactivate those being: ²⁹ so that no flesh boasts in his sight. ³⁰ And you of him - you are in Messiah Yah Shua, who of Elohim becomes our wisdom and justness and holiness and redemption: ³¹ that, exactly as scribed, Whoever boasts, boast in the Yah Veh. ^{Jeremiah Yah 9:23, 24}

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ [This letter is from] Paul, who was called by the will of God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and [from] our brother Sosthenes; ² [it is being sent] to the church of God at Corinth. [You people are] set apart in [the fellowship of] Christ Jesus and called [by God] to be saints [i.e., His holy people], along with all [others] everywhere who call on our Lord Jesus Christ [i.e., in prayer]. He is their Lord and ours [as well]. ³ May you experience unearned favor and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I always thank God for you, [especially] for God’s unearned favor that was given to you [in providing salvation and blessings] in Christ Jesus. ⁵ For in [fellowship with] Him you people have been made [spiritually] rich in every way, through all [kinds of] speech and knowledge. [Note: This probably refers to the communication and comprehension of truth represented by the spiritual gifts of languages and revelation]. ⁶ The message about Christ has become firmly established there among you [i.e., by such gifts], ⁷ so that you are not lacking in any [spiritual] gift, while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed [i.e., at His second coming]. ⁸ He will also make you stand firm [in the faith] to the end [of your lives], so that you will be [considered] without just blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ [returns]. ⁹ God is faithful [i.e., He will continue working among you] and it is through Him that you were called into the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I urge you, brothers, through the name [i.e., by the authority] of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you should all agree in what you say, so that no divisions [continue] among you. Be restored [to unity] by having common thoughts and convictions [i.e., in spiritual matters]. ¹¹ For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers, by some of Chloe’s family, that there is quarreling [going on] among you. ¹² Now this is what I mean: Each of you is saying, “I am a follower of Paul,” and another “I am a follower of Apollos,” and another “I am a follower of Cephas [i.e., Peter],” and another “I am a follower of Christ.” ¹³ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I did not immerse any of you, except for Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that none of you could say that you were immersed into my name. ¹⁶ (Oh, yes, I also immersed the family of Stephanas. Besides these, I do not remember immersing anyone else). ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to immerse people, but to preach the good news. [Note: Christ specifically commissioned Paul to preach; most of the immersing was done by his attendants]. It was not to be done with words of [human] wisdom, so that the [message of the] cross of Christ would not have its power taken away. ¹⁸ For the message of [Christ dying on] the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing [i.e., in a lost state], but it is God’s power to us who are being saved. ¹⁹ For it is written [Isa. 29:14], “I [i.e., God] will destroy the wisdom of wise people, and will set aside [i.e., hinder] the understanding of intelligent people.” ²⁰ Where is the wise person? And where is the expert in the law? [And] where is the debater of this world? ²¹ For since, according to God’s [true] wisdom, the world did not know about Him through its wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe [in Christ] through the “foolishness” of the message preached. ²² Now Jews ask for [miraculous] signs and Greeks [i.e., Gentiles] are looking for wisdom, ²³ but we [apostles] preach that Christ was crucified [for our sins]. This message is offensive to Jews and foolishness to [unconverted] Gentiles. ²⁴ But to those who are called [by God to be saved], both Jews and Gentiles, [the message of] Christ is the power of God [See 1:16] and the wisdom of God. [See 1:30]. ²⁵ For the “foolish things” of God are wiser than men’s [wisdom], and the “weakness” of God is stronger than men’s [strength]. ²⁶ Now consider how you were when you were called, brothers. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were from prominent families. ²⁷ But God chose what the world considers foolish [i.e., people with little apparent ability], in order to shame the “wise people.” And He chose what the world considers weak in order to shame what it considers strong. ²⁸ And He chose what the world considers insignificant and contemptible, and [even] what it considers “nothing,” in order to nullify what appears to be something. ²⁹ This was all done so that no human being could boast in front of God. ³⁰ But God brought you into [fellowship with] Christ Jesus, who was made to be God’s wisdom for us. Through Christ you have received a right relationship with God, [as well as] holiness and redemption [i.e., being bought back from Satan]. ³¹ So, as it is written [Jer. 9:23f], “The person who [wants to] boast, let him boast about the Lord.”

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, ² to the congregation of God that is at Corinth, to called men, to holy men who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus with all in every place who call upon the name of our the Lord Jesus Christ-both ours and theirs. ³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always about you, for the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge. ⁶ Just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, ⁷ so that ye come behind in not one gift, waiting for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who will also confirm you until the end, irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful through whom ye were called for the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you, but ye may be thoroughly prepared in the same mind and in the same understanding. ¹¹ For it was declared to me about you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² Now I say this. That each of you actually say, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. ¹³ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were ye immersed in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ lest some man should say that I immersed in my name. ¹⁶ And I also immersed the household of Stephanas. Besides, I know not whether I immersed any other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the good news, not in wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ would be emptied. ¹⁸ For the message of the cross is of course foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is a power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will frustrate the understanding of those of understanding. ²⁰ Where is a wise man? Where is a scholar? Where is a researcher of this age? Did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For since in the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its wisdom, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. ²² And because Jews demand a sign and Greeks search for wisdom, ²³ but we proclaim Christ crucified, it is truly to Jews a stumbling-block and to Gentiles foolishness. ²⁴ But to them, to the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For notice your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many eminent. ²⁷ But God chose the foolish things of the world, so that he might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world, so that he might humiliate the powerful. ²⁸ And God chose the common things of the world, and the disdained things, and the things that are not, so that he might make useless the things that are, ²⁹ so that no flesh may boast before God. ³⁰ But ye are his, in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, ³¹ so that, just as it is written, He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, ² to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: ³ grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge ⁶ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, ⁷ so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you eagerly wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For I have been informed by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you, my brethren. ¹² What I mean is this, that each one of you says, "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Cephas," and "I of Christ." ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one would say you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ (Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any one else.) ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospelnot with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. ¹⁸ For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will frustrate." ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. ²² Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to fleshly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. ²⁷ But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong, ²⁸ God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are, ²⁹ so that no flesh may boast before God. ³⁰ It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, ³¹ therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."

6 G2531 even as G3142 the testimony G5547 of Christ G950 was confirmed G1722 in G5213 you:

7 G5620 so that G5209 you G5302 come behind G1722 in G3361 no G3367 G5486 gift; G553 waiting for G602 the revelation G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ;

8 G3739 who will G2532 also G950 confirm G5209 you G2193 until G5056 the end, G410 blameless G1722 in G2250 the day G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G2316 God G4103 is faithful, G1223 through G3739 whom G2564 you were called G1519 into G2842 the fellowship G846 of his G5207 Son, G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G2257 our G2962 Lord.

10 G1161 Now G3870 I beg G5209 you, G80 brothers, G1223 through G3686 the name G2257 of our G2962 Lord, G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G2443 that G3004 you G3956 all G3004 speak G846 the same thing G2532 and G5600 that there be G3361 no G4978 divisions G1722 among G5213 you, G1161 but G5600 that you be G2675 perfected together G1722 in G846 the same G3563 mind G2532 and G1722 in G846 the same G1106 judgment.

11 G1063 For G1213 it has been reported G3427 to me G4012 concerning G5216 you, G3450 my G80 brothers, G5259 by G3588 those G5514 who are from Chloe's G3754 household, that G1526 there are G2054 contentions G1722 among G5213 you.

12 G1161 Now G3303 I G3004 mean G5124 this, G3754 that G1538 each one G5216 of you G3004 says, G1473 "I G3303 G3972 follow Paul," G1161 G1473 "I G625 follow Apollos," G1161 G1473 "I G2786 follow Cephas," G1161 and, G1473 "I G5547 follow Christ."

13 G3307 Is G5547 Christ G3307 divided? G3361 G4717 Was G3972 Paul G4717 crucified G5228 for G5216 you? G2228 Or G907 were you baptized G1519 into G3686 the name G3972 of Paul?

14 G2168 I thank G2316 God G3754 that G907 I baptized G3762 none G5216 of you, G1487 except G3361 G2921 Crispus G2532 and G1050 Gaius,

15 G2443 so that G3361 no G5100 one G2036 should say G3754 that G907 I had baptized G1519 you into G1699 my own G3686 name.

16 G1161 G2532 (I also G907 baptized G3624 the household G4734 of Stephanas; G3063 besides G3756 them, I don't G1492 know G1487 whether G907 I baptized G5100 any G243 other.)

17 G1063 For G5547 Christ G649 sent G3165 me G3756 not G907 to baptize, G235 but G2097 to preach the Good News — G3756 not G1722 in G4678 wisdom G3056 of words, G2443 so G3361 G4716 that the cross G5547 of Christ G2758 wouldn't be made void.

18 G1063 For G3056 the word G4716 of the cross G2076 is G3303 G3472 foolishness G3588 to those G622 who are dying, G1161 but G2254 to us G4982 who are saved G2076 it is G1411 the power G2316 of God.

19 G1063 For G1125 it is written, G622 "I will destroy G4678 the wisdom G4680 of the wise, G2532 G4907 I will bring the discernment G4908 of the discerning G114 to nothing."

20 G4226 Where G4680 is the wise? G4226 Where G1122 is the scribe? G4226 Where G4804 is the lawyer G5127 of this G165 world? G3780 Hasn't G2316 God G3471 made foolish G4678 the wisdom G5127 of this G2889 world?

21 G1063 For G1894 seeing that G1722 in G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God, G2889 the world G1223 through G4678 its wisdom G3756 didn't G1097 know G2316 God, G2316 it was God's G2106 good pleasure G1223 through G3472 the foolishness G2782 of the preaching G4982 to save G3588 those G4100 who believe.

22 G1894 For G2532 G2453 Jews G154 ask G4592 for signs, G2532 G1672 Greeks G2212 seek G4678 after wisdom,

23 G1161 but G2249 we G2784 preach G5547 Christ G4717 crucified; G4625 a stumbling block G2453 to Jews, G3303 G1161 and G3472 foolishness G1672 to Greeks,

24 G1161 but G846 to those G3588 who G2822 are called, G5037 both G2453 Jews G2532 and G1672 Greeks, G5547 Christ G1411 is the power G2316 of God G2532 and G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God.

25 G3754 Because G3474 the foolishness G2316 of God G2076 is G4680 wiser G444 than men, G2532 and G772 the weakness G2316 of God G2076 is G2478 stronger G444 than men.

26 G1063 For G991 you see G5216 your G2821 calling, G80 brothers, G3754 that G3756 not G4183 many G4680 are wise G2596 according G4561 to the flesh, G3756 not G4183 many G1415 mighty, G3756 and not G4183 many G2104 noble;

27 G235 but G2316 God G1586 chose G3474 the foolish things G2889 of the world G2443 that he might put to G2617 shame G4680 those who are wise. G2532 G2316 God G1586 chose G772 the weak things G2889 of the world, G2443 that he might put to G2617 shame G3588 the things G2478 that are strong;

28 G2532 and G1586 God chose G36 the lowly things G2889 of the world, G2532 and G3588 the things G5607 that are G1848 despised, G2532 and G3588 the things G5607 that are G3361 not, G2443 that he might bring to G2673 nothing G3588 the things G5607 that are:

29 G3704 that G3361 no G3956 G4561 flesh G2744 should boast G1799 before G846 God.

30 G1161 But G1537 of G846 him, G5210 you G2075 are G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus, G3739 who G1096 was made G2254 to us G4678 wisdom G575 from G2316 God, G5037 and G1343 righteousness G2532 and G38 sanctification, G2532 and G629 redemption:

31 G2443 that, G2531 according as G1125 it is written, G3588 "He G2744 who boasts, G2744 let him boast G1722 in G2962 the Lord."

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, ² to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours: ³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge; ⁶ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: ⁷ so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I appeal to you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you. ¹² Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ." ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name. ¹⁶ (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.) ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Christ would not be made void. ¹⁸ For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify." ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe. ²² For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom, ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's. ²⁶ For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth. ²⁷ But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong. ²⁸ And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something, ²⁹ that no flesh might boast before God. ³⁰ And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, ³¹ so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."

1 G2822 Paul called G652 to be an apostle G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G1223 through G2307 the will G2316 of God, G4988 and Sosthenes G80 our brother,

2 G1577 To the church G2316 of God G3588 which G1722 is at G2882 Corinth, G37 to them that are sanctified G5547 in Christ G2424 Jesus, G2822 called G40 to be saints, G3956 with all G3956 that in every G5117 place G1941 call G3686 on the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G2962 our Lord, G5037 both G2257 their’s and our’s:

3 G5485 Grace G1515 be to you, and peace, G2316 from God G3962 our Father, G2962 and from the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

4 G2168 I thank G2316 my God G3842 always G4012 on G5216 your G4012 behalf, G5485 for the grace G2316 of God G3588 which G1325 is given G2424 you by Jesus G5547 Christ;

5 G3956 That in every G4148 thing you are enriched G3956 by him, in all G3056 utterance, G3956 and in all G1108 knowledge;

6 G2531 Even G3142 as the testimony G5547 of Christ G950 was confirmed in you:

7 G5620 So G5302 that you come G5302 behind G3367 in no G5486 gift; G553 waiting G602 for the coming G2962 of our Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ:

8 G3739 Who G2532 shall also G950 confirm G5056 you to the end, G410 that you may be blameless G2250 in the day G2962 of our Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G2316 God G4103 is faithful, G3739 by whom G2564 you were called G2842 to the fellowship G5207 of his Son G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2962 our Lord.

10 G1161 Now G3870 I beseech G80 you, brothers, G3686 by the name G2962 of our Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G3956 that you all G3004 speak G846 the same G3361 thing, and that there be no G4978 divisions G1722 among G2675 you; but that you be perfectly G2675 joined G2675 together G846 in the same G3563 mind G846 and in the same G1106 judgment.

11 G1213 For it has been declared G80 to me of you, my brothers, G5514 by them which are of the house of Chloe, G2054 that there are contentions G1722 among you.

12 G1161 Now G5124 this G3004 I say, G1538 that every G3004 one of you said, G1510 I am G625 of Paul; and I of Apollos; G2786 and I of Cephas; G5547 and I of Christ.

13 G5547 Is Christ G3307 divided? G4717 was Paul crucified G2228 for you? or G907 were you baptized G3686 in the name of Paul?

14 G2168 I thank G2316 God G907 that I baptized G3762 none G2921 of you, but Crispus G1050 and Gaius;

15 G2443 Lest G3361 G3387 any G2036 should say G907 that I had baptized G1699 in my G3686 own name.

16 G907 And I baptized G2532 also G3624 the household G4734 of Stephanas: G3063 besides, G1492 I know G1487 not whether G907 I baptized G1536 any G243 other.

17 G5547 For Christ G649 sent G907 me not to baptize, G2097 but to preach G2097 the gospel: G4678 not with wisdom G3056 of words, G2443 lest G3361 G4716 the cross G5547 of Christ G2758 should be made G2758 of none G2758 effect.

18 G3056 For the preaching G4716 of the cross G622 is to them that perish G3472 foolishness; G4982 but to us which are saved G1411 it is the power G2316 of God.

19 G1125 For it is written, G622 I will destroy G4678 the wisdom G4680 of the wise, G114 and will bring G114 to nothing G4907 the understanding G4908 of the prudent.

20 G4226 Where G4680 is the wise? G4226 where G1122 is the scribe? G4226 where G4804 is the disputer G5127 of this G165 world? G2316 has not God G3471 made G3471 foolish G4678 the wisdom G5127 of this G2889 world?

21 G1894 For after G4678 that in the wisdom G2316 of God G2889 the world G4678 by wisdom G1097 knew G2316 not God, G2106 it pleased G2316 God G3472 by the foolishness G2782 of preaching G4982 to save G4100 them that believe.

22 G2453 For the Jews G154 require G4592 a sign, G1672 and the Greeks G2212 seek G4678 after wisdom:

23 G2784 But we preach G5547 Christ G4717 crucified, G2453 to the Jews G4625 a stumbling block, G1672 and to the Greeks G3472 foolishness;

24 G3588 But to them which G2822 are called, G5037 both G2453 Jews G1672 and Greeks, G5547 Christ G1411 the power G2316 of God, G4678 and the wisdom G2316 of God.

25 G3754 Because G3474 the foolishness G2316 of God G4680 is wiser G444 than men; G772 and the weakness G2316 of God G2478 is stronger G444 than men.

26 G991 For you see G5216 your G2821 calling, G80 brothers, G4183 how that not many G4680 wise G2596 men after G4561 the flesh, G4183 not many G1415 mighty, G4183 not many G2104 noble, are called:

27 G2316 But God G1586 has chosen G3474 the foolish G2889 things of the world G2617 to confound G4680 the wise; G2316 and God G1586 has chosen G772 the weak G2889 things of the world G2617 to confound G2478 the things which are mighty;

28 G36 And base G2889 things of the world, G1848 and things which are despised, G2316 has God G1586 chosen, G3588 yes, and things which G2673 are not, to bring G2673 to nothing things that are:

29 G3361 That no G3956 G4561 flesh G2744 should glory G1799 in his presence.

30 G5547 But of him are you in Christ G2424 Jesus, G3739 who G2316 of God G1096 is made G4678 to us wisdom, G1343 and righteousness, G38 and sanctification, G629 and redemption:

2 G1577 Unto the church G2316 of God G5607 which is G1722 at G2882 Corinth, G37 to them that are sanctified G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus, G2822 called G40 to be saints, G4862 with G3956 all G1722 that in G3956 every G5117 place G1941 call upon G3686 the name G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G2257 our G2962 Lord, G5037 both G846 theirs G2532 and G2257 ours:

3 G5485 Grace G5213 be unto you, G2532 and G1515 peace, G575 from G2316 God G2257 our G3962 Father, G2532 and G2962 from the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

4 G2168 I thank G3450 my G2316 God G3842 always G4012 on G5216 your G4012 behalf, G1909 for G5485 the grace G2316 of God G3588 which is G1325 given G5213 you G1722 by G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ;

5 G3754 That G1722 in G3956 every thing G4148 you are enriched G1722 by G846 him, G1722 in G3956 all G3056 utterance, G2532 and G3956 in all G1108 knowledge;

6 G2531 Even as G3142 the testimony G5547 of Christ G950 was confirmed G1722 in G5213 you:

7 G5620 So that G5209 you G5302 come behind G1722 in G3361 no G3367 G5486 gift; G553 waiting for G602 the coming G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ:

8 G3739 Who shall G2532 also G950 confirm G5209 you G2193 unto G5056 the end, G410 that you may be blameless G1722 in G2250 the day G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G2316 God G4103 is faithful, G1223 by G3739 whom G2564 you were called G1519 unto G2842 the fellowship G846 of his G5207 Son G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2257 our G2962 Lord.

10 G1161 Now G3870 I beg G5209 you, G80 brothers, G1223 by G3686 the name G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G2443 that G3004 you G3956 all G3004 speak G846 the same thing, G2532 and G5600 that there be G3361 no G4978 divisions G1722 among G5213 you; G1161 but G5600 that you be G2675 perfectly joined together G1722 in G846 the same G3563 mind G2532 and G1722 in G846 the same G1106 judgment.

11 G1063 For G1213 it has been declared G3427 unto me G4012 of G5216 you, G3450 my G80 brothers, G5259 by G3588 them G5514 which are of the house of Chloe, G3754 that G1526 there are G2054 contentions G1722 among G5213 you.

12 G1161 Now G5124 this G3004 I say, G3754 that G1538 every one G5216 of you G3004 says, G1473 I G3303 G1510 am G3972 of Paul; G1161 and G1473 I G625 of Apollos; G1161 and G1473 I G2786 of Cephas; G1161 and G1473 I G5547 of Christ.

13 G3307 Is G5547 Christ G3307 divided? G4717 was G3361 G3972 Paul G4717 crucified G5228 for G5216 you? G2228 or G907 were you baptized G1519 in G3686 the name G3972 of Paul?

14 G2168 I thank G2316 God G3754 that G907 I baptized G3762 none G5216 of you, G1487 but G3361 G2921 Crispus G2532 and G1050 Gaius;

15 G2443 Lest G3361 G5100 any G2036 should say G3754 that G907 I had baptized G1519 in G1699 my own G3686 name.

16 G1161 And G907 I baptized G2532 also G3624 the household G4734 of Stephanas: G3063 besides, G1492 I know G3756 not G1487 whether G907 I baptized G5100 any G243 other.

17 G1063 For G5547 Christ G649 sent G3165 me G3756 not G907 to baptize, G235 but G2097 to preach the gospel: G3756 not G1722 with G4678 wisdom G3056 of words, G2443 lest G3361 G4716 the cross G5547 of Christ G2758 should be made of no effect.

18 G1063 For G3056 the preaching G4716 of the cross G2076 is G3588 to them G622 that perish G3303 G3472 foolishness; G1161 but G2254 unto us G4982 which are saved G2076 it is G1411 the power G2316 of God.

19 G1063 For G1125 it is written, G622 I will destroy G4678 the wisdom G4680 of the wise, G2532 and G114 will bring to nothing G4907 the understanding G4908 of the prudent.

20 G4226 Where G4680 is the wise? G4226 where G1122 is the scribe? G4226 where G4804 is the disputer G5127 of this G165 world? G3780 has not G2316 God G3471 made foolish G4678 the wisdom G5127 of this G2889 world?

21 G1063 For G1894 after that G1722 in G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God G2889 the world G1223 by G4678 wisdom G1097 knew G3756 not G2316 God, G2106 it pleased G2316 God G1223 by G3472 the foolishness G2782 of preaching G4982 to save G3588 them G4100 that believe.

22 G1894 For G2532 G2453 the Jews G154 require G4592 a sign, G2532 and G1672 the Greeks G2212 seek G4678 after wisdom:

23 G1161 But G2249 we G2784 preach G5547 Christ G4717 crucified, G2453 unto the Jews G3303 G4625 a stumblingblock, G1161 and G1672 unto the Greeks G3472 foolishness;

24 G1161 But G846 unto them G3588 which G2822 are called, G5037 both G2453 Jews G2532 and G1672 Greeks, G5547 Christ G1411 the power G2316 of God, G2532 and G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God.

25 G3754 Because G3474 the foolishness G2316 of God G2076 is G4680 wiser G444 than men; G2532 and G772 the weakness G2316 of God G2076 is G2478 stronger G444 than men.

26 G1063 For G991 you see G5216 your G2821 calling, G80 brothers, G3754 how that G3756 not G4183 many G4680 wise men G2596 after G4561 the flesh, G3756 not G4183 many G1415 mighty, G3756 not G4183 many G2104 noble, are called:

27 G235 But G2316 God G1586 has chosen G3474 the foolish things G2889 of the world G2443 to G2617 confound G4680 the wise; G2532 and G2316 God G1586 has chosen G772 the weak things G2889 of the world G2443 to G2617 confound G3588 the things G2478 which are mighty;

28 G2532 And G36 base things G2889 of the world, G2532 and G3588 things G1848 which are despised, G1586 has G2316 God G1586 chosen, G2532 Yes, and G3588 things G5607 which are G3361 not, G2443 to G2673 bring to nothing G3588 things G5607 that are:

29 G3704 That G3956 no G3361 G4561 flesh G2744 should glory G1799 in G846 his G1799 presence.

30 G1161 But G1537 of G846 him G2075 are G5210 you G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus, G3739 who G575 of G2316 God G1096 is made G2254 unto us G4678 wisdom, G5037 and G1343 righteousness, G2532 and G38 sanctification, G2532 and G629 redemption:

31 G2443 That, G2531 according as G1125 it is written, G3588 He G2744 that glories, G2744 let him glory G1722 in G2962 the Lord.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes, our brother, ² unto the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of God which is at Corinth, to those that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: ³ Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which is given you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ that in every thing ye are enriched in him in all word and in all knowledge, ⁶ with which the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you, ⁷ so that ye lack nothing in any gift, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who shall also confirm that ye shall remain unimpeachable unto the end, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ ¶ 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 perfect, joined together in the same understanding and in the same perception. ¹¹ For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by those of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² In other words, that each one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. ¹³ Is the Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ ¶ I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ lest any should say that ye were baptized into my name. ¹⁶ And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. ¹⁷ ¶ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} of Christ should be made void. ¹⁸ For the word of the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} is foolishness to those that perish, but unto us who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the philosopher of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For in the wisdom of God, since the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those that believe. ²² For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom, ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, {Gr. Stauroo – hung on a stake}, unto the Jews a stumblingblock and unto the Gentiles foolishness; ²⁴ but unto those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For that which is foolish of God is wiser than men, and that which is weak of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For look upon your vocation, brothers, that ye are not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, ²⁷ but rather God has chosen that which is the foolishness of the world to confound the wise, and God has chosen that which is the weakness of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; ²⁸ and that which is vile of the world and that which is despised God has chosen, and things which are not, to bring to nought the things that are, ²⁹ that no flesh should glory in his presence. ³⁰ But of him ye are reborn in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, ³¹ that, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, ² to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all those who in every place are calling on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: ³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ that in everything you were enriched by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, ⁶ just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, ⁷ so that you come short in no gift, eagerly awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who will also confirm you until the end, that you may be unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but you be made complete in the same mind and in the same opinion. ¹¹ For it was shown to me concerning you, my brothers, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you. ¹² Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Cephas," and "I of Christ." ¹³ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ should be deprived of its power. ¹⁸ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of the prudent I will annul." ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, God was well pleased, through the foolishness of our preaching, to save those that believe. ²² For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many powerful, not many noble, are called. ²⁷ But God chose the foolish things of the world in order that He might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world in order that He might humiliate the mighty. ²⁸ And the base things of the world, and the things having been despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, in order that He might nullify the things which are, ²⁹ so that no flesh may boast before God. ³⁰ But from Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; ³¹ that, as it is written, "He that boasts, let him boast in the LORD."

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes, ² to the church of God in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, along with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—ours, theirs and yours: ³ Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ Concerning you, I always thank my God because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ for in Him you were enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge, ⁶ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, ⁷ so that you lack no spiritual gift as you expectantly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be restored to the same mind and to the same purpose. ¹¹ You see, my brothers, it has been reported to me concerning you, by some from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. ¹² What I mean is that you are individually saying: “I am of Paul”, or “I am of Apollos”, or “I am of Cephas”, or “I am of Christ”! ¹³ Has Christ been divided? It wasn’t Paul who was crucified for you, was it? You weren’t baptized into the name of Paul, were you? ¹⁴ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ lest anyone should say that I had baptized into my own name. ¹⁶ O yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanus; besides them I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else. ¹⁷ Because Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel —not with eloquent ‘wisdom’, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of power. ¹⁸ The message of the cross, you see, is foolishness to those who are being wasted, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and confound the shrewdness of the intelligent.” ²⁰ Where is the wise one? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its ‘wisdom’ did not get to know God, it pleased God to save the believing ones through the ‘foolishness’ of what was preached— ²² since Jews request a sign while Greeks seek after wisdom, ²³ but we proclaim a crucified Christ: an offense to Jews, foolishness to Greeks. ²⁴ Now to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God, ²⁵ because the ‘foolishness’ of God is wiser than men, and the ‘weakness’ of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ Just look at your calling, brothers: not many are wise, not many are powerful, not many are of noble birth, by human standards; ²⁷ but God has chosen the foolish things of the world that He might put the wise to shame, and God has chosen the weak things of the world that He might put the strong things to shame; ²⁸ and God has chosen the lowly things of the world and the despised things—even the ‘nothings’—that He might nullify the ‘somethings’; ²⁹ so that no flesh should boast in God’s presence. ³⁰ It is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God—also righteousness and sanctification and redemption — ³¹ so that, as it is written: “He who boasts, let him boast in the LORD.”

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, a called (or: invited) one – one sent forth with a mission (an emissary; a representative) of, and from, Jesus Christ [with other MSS: Christ Jesus' ambassador] through God's will (purpose; intent) – and Sosthenes, the brother (= fellow believer), ² to God's called-out community (or: summoned-forth group that has God as its source, and which belongs to God), the one being within Corinth; to those having been set-apart within Christ Jesus (or: made holy, sacred, different from the normal and sanctified, in union with [the] Anointing of Jesus); to called (or: invited) folks [and] to set-apart people (holy ones; saints; sanctified folks; sacred ones) – together with all those in every place constantly calling upon the Name of our Lord [note: the phrase applied to Yahweh in Gen. 12:8; Zech. 13:9], Jesus Christ – their [Lord] as well as ours: ³ Grace (the influence and boon of undeserved favor, kindness, joy and goodwill) and peace (or: harmony; = shalom), from God, our Father and Lord, Jesus Christ (or: from our Father, God, and [the] Owner, Jesus [the] Anointed). ⁴ I always and progressively give thanks to (or: for) my God (or: experience gratitude in my God; express the ease of grace by my God; experience the happy fortune of abundant favor with my God; observe my God's competent and prosperous grace), upon the basis of God's grace (favorable influence) [which is] being given to you folks within and in union with Christ Jesus, ⁵ because within the midst of everything, and in union with all humanity, you folks are (or: were) made rich (enriched) within, and in union with, Him – within every thought (in the midst of all [the] Logos; in all reason; within all [the] message; in every word and expression) and in all intimate, experiential knowledge and insight (gnosis) – ⁶ correspondingly and in proportion as Christ's witness (or: the testimony pertaining to and whose origin is the Anointed One; or: the evidence of the Anointing) was made certain, stable and established on good footing (or: validated, warranted and confirmed) within you folks, ⁷ and as you people are not continuing trailing behind or constantly late, so as to be deficient or fall short – not even in one effect of grace (or: result of favor) – being ones habitually receiving and taking away into your hands from out of our Lord's [= Yahweh's, or Christ's] unveiling: Jesus Christ (or: from the midst of the uncovering and revelation of our Lord, Jesus [the] Anointed; or: forth from the disclosure from our Lord, which is Jesus Anointed), ⁸ Who will be making you folks stable, certain and established on good footing until maturity (until attainment of the purposed goal; until accomplishment of the intended and destined results): people not [being] open to accusation (or: those not in the midst of a [legal] charge, not being called into account, or considered in some category; unimpeachable ones), within the midst of and in union with the Day of our Lord [Christ or Yahweh] – Jesus Christ! ` (or: in the Day which is our Lord, Jesus Christ; or: in the day of [Yahweh], which is our Master, Jesus [the] Anointed.) [comment: the phrase "the day of the LORD" was used by the prophets to signify God's influence and activity upon people] ⁹ God [is] full of faith, trustworthy, loyal and faithful – through Whom you folks were called and invited into a common being and existence of (or: partnership, participation, fellowship, sharing and communion with) His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord (Owner; Master). ¹⁰ Now I am constantly performing as a paraclete, calling you alongside to aid, comfort and encourage you, brothers (= fellow members), through the Name of our Lord – Jesus Christ – to the end that you can (should; may; would) all keep on speaking the very same thing, and there may not continue being tearing splits-effects (divisions; schisms; rifts) among you folks, but you should (or: would) progressively be folks having been mended, knit together and restored so as to be adjusted down, attuned on the same level, fitly and completely united within the very same mind and in the very same opinion (consent; sentiment; the effect of your intimate experiential knowledge and insight [gnosis]). ¹¹ For it was made evident and is clear to me about (or: concerning) you folks, my brothers (= fellow believers), by those of Chloe's [people; group; household], that there continue being quarrels (situations of strife; discordant debates) among you people (or: contentious dispositions within you folks). ¹² Now I am saying this because each of you is habitually saying, "I, myself, am indeed [a follower] of Paul," yet [another], "I myself belong to Apollos," and [another], "As for me, I [am] of Cephas' [group]," but [another], "I, myself, [am] from Christ." ¹³ Christ has been parted and remains divided into fragments! (or, as a question: Has Christ been fragmented into divided parts?) Paul was not crucified over (on behalf of; [other MSS: concerning]) you folks! Or were you baptized (immersed) into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I am continually thankful [other MSS: I constantly thank {others add: my} God] that I baptized (immersed) not one of you folks, except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one could say that you folks were immersed (baptized) into my name! ¹⁶ Now, I did baptize (immerse) the household of Stephanas, too. Beyond that I do not know for sure whether I immersed anyone else. ¹⁷ For you see, Christ did not send me off with a commission to be constantly baptizing (immersing), but rather to habitually announce the message of goodness (to repeatedly bring the message of abundant well-being; to progressively declare the news of fortunate and ideal ease), [though] not in cleverness of word (within [the] wisdom of a message or an idea; not in skillfulness of rhetoric) – in order that the cross of the Christ (the Anointed One's execution-stake) cannot (or: would not) be made empty or void of content and purpose [by rhetoric]. ¹⁸ You see, the message (the word; the Logos) of the cross (or: the idea from, and the concept pertaining to, the execution-stake) is and continues being, on the one hand, stupidity (nonsense; foolishness) to (or: for; in) those folks presently and progressively destroying themselves (or, as a passive: being habitually lost or progressively undone); yet, on the other hand, it is and continues being God's power (or: the ability of and from God; the power which is God) in us, to us and for us: in the folks being presently delivered (or: for those being continually rescued, repeatedly saved and progressively restored to health and wholeness; or: to the ones being now salvaged and progressively restored to their original state and condition). ¹⁹ For it has been written, and thus stands, "I will undo (untie and loose away; destroy) the wisdom and cleverness of the wise ones, and I will set aside (or: displace; invalidate) the intelligence (comprehension; understanding) of the intellectual (intelligent; comprehending) people." [Isa. 29:14] ²⁰ Where [is] a wise one? Where [is] a scribe (one learned in the Scriptures; the scholar)? Where [is] a collaborating seeker (a co-investigator; a discusser; a learned sophist; a reasoner) of this age? Does not God prove (or: make) stupid (foolish; nonsensical) the wisdom (cleverness; learned skill) of this ordered arrangement (controlling System; world of culture, religion, economy and government; realm of the secular)? ²¹ For since, in view of the fact that – within the Wisdom of God (or: centered in the wisdom whose source and origin is God; in the midst of the wisdom which is God) – the ordered arrangement and System of secular and religious culture did not come to have an intimate, experiential knowledge of God through means of this Wisdom (or: You see, in as much as – in union with God’s wisdom – the world of mankind did not recognize, or have insight into, God through means of [human] wisdom), God delights and considers it profitable (thinks it thoroughly competent and easy; imagines it well-done) to deliver (or: save; rescue; salvage and restore to health, wholeness and their original state and condition) the folks habitually trusting, progressively believing and constantly being loyal, through the stupidity of the proclamation (or: the aforementioned foolishness of that which is proclaimed; or: the dullness of the effect of heralding; or: the "nonsense" of the result of the message preached), ²² in as much as, both Jews constantly request (habitually demand) signs, and Greeks (those of the Hellenistic culture) constantly seek (habitually try to find) wisdom! ²³ Yet as for us, we are constantly proclaiming (habitually heralding) Christ: One having been terminally crucified (executed on a stake) – indeed, a trap-spring (or: a snare; thus: an obstacle or cause for stumbling or being ensnared) to (or: with; for; among) Jews (those of the Jewish culture and religion); yet stupidity (foolishness; nonsense) to (or: for) [the] multitudes (among [other] ethnic groups; in [the] nations; with the non-Jews), ²⁴ and yet [it is] Christ: God's power and ability, as well as God's wisdom (or: and so [we see the] Anointed One – a power from, and which is, God, as well as understanding insight and skillful cleverness from, and which is, God), to, for, in, with and among those [who are] the called (or: invited) people! ²⁵ Because God's stupid thing [or: plan; idea] (or: the foolish act of God; nonsense from God) continues being wiser than mankind (humans; people), and God's weak act [is] stronger than mankind (humanity; people). ²⁶ For, take a comprehensive look at (or: as an indicative: you folks are progressively observing and seeing) your calling (or: vocation; social role, position or station) brothers, that [there are] not many wise folks – according to flesh (or: corresponding to a flesh [system of philosophy or religion]; on the level of [the estranged human situation]; = having their origin in the sphere of a self oriented toward a controlling System), not many powerful ones (those with ability), not many well-born ones (ones born to ease and profit; those of noble birth; folks with good genes or genealogy), ²⁷ but to the contrary, God collects His thoughts and speaks forth (or: selects and picks out; chose) the stupid things (or: the foolish ones) of the organized System (the world of religion, culture and its secular society; or: the cosmos; the universe), to the end that He could (or: would; may) habitually disgrace and bring shame down on the wise ones; and God collects His thoughts and speaks forth (or: selects, picks out and chooses) the weak things (or: the powerless or sickly ones) of the System (world; arranged order), so that He would bring disgrace and shame down on the strong things (or: the robust and mighty ones), ²⁸ and God collects His thoughts and speaks forth (or: selects, picks out and chooses) ignoble things (or: those of no family; those without known ancestry; the base ones; or: the things that are unborn or have not happened; the occurrences that have not come to be) pertaining to the controlling System (or: from the world or government, politics, religion, culture; of the realm of the secular), and those that are looked down on, despised and regarded as having come from out of nothing – even those being nothing (or: not existing; the things [which] are not) – in order that He could make ineffective (may bring down to idleness and uselessness) the existing things (= [systems of government and religion] presently being), ²⁹ so that no flesh [nature, government or religious system] – [including, or at] all – could boast in God's sight or presence (or: before God). ³⁰ Now you folks are, and continuously exist being, forth from out of the midst of Him – within and in union with Christ Jesus, Who came to be (or: is birthed) wisdom in us (or: to us; for us) from God; likewise, both fairness and equity ([covenantal] relationship in the Way pointed out; rightwisedness – being turned in the right direction – and justice) and the essence of being set-apart to be different – even release by payment of a ransom (or: redemption) – ³¹ to the end that, correspondingly as it has been and stands written, "The one constantly boasting: let him habitually boast and constantly take pride in [the] Lord [= Yahweh]." [Jer. 9:23]

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ This letter is from Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother. ² To the congregation of God at Corinth. To you, who are sanctified in Christ Jesus. You who are called to be holy ones, with all whom in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. He is both their Lord and ours. ³ Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God that is given you by Jesus Christ. ⁵ He enriches you in every way, in all speaking, and in all knowledge. ⁶ The testimony of Christ was confirmed (verified) (established) in you. ⁷ You do not lack spiritual gifts as you wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ He will also confirm (establish) you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there are no divisions among you. You should be perfectly joined together (united) in the same mind and thought. ¹¹ The house of Chloe told me, my brothers, that there are disputes among you. ¹² Concerning that I say, that each one of you said, »I follow Paul;« and »I follow Apollos;« and »I follow Cephas;« and »I follow Christ.« ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul impaled for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius. ¹⁵ So no one should say that I baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides that I do not know whether I baptized any others. ¹⁷ Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the good news: not with wisdom of words, lest the stake of Christ be emptied of its effect. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the stake is foolishness to those who perish. It is the power of God to us who are saved. ¹⁹ It is written: »I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.« (Isaiah 29:14) ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ This is the wisdom of God that the world through its wisdom did not come to know God. God was well pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. ²² Indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom. ²³ We preach Christ impaled. It is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the nations! ²⁴ To those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, it is Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ Consider your calling, brothers. Not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. ²⁷ Instead God chose the foolish things of the world to confuse (shame) the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to confuse (shame) the things that are mighty. ²⁸ God also chose the base things of the world, and things which are despised, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are. ²⁹ No human being should boast before God. ³⁰ It is because of him you are united with Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. ³¹ Let it be as it is written, »He that boasts, let him boast in Jehovah!« (Jeremiah 9:24)

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul Greets the Church in CorinthFrom: Paul, called to be an apostle of the Messiah Jesus by the will of God, and from our brother Sosthenes.
² To: God’s church in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified by the Messiah Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah—their Lord and ours.
³ May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!
⁴ You are RichI always thank my God for you because of the grace of God given you by the Messiah Jesus. ⁵ For by him you have become rich in every way—in speech and knowledge of every kind— ⁶ while our testimony about the Messiah has been confirmed among you. ⁷ Therefore, you don’t lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus the Messiah to be revealed. ⁸ He will keep you strong until the end, so that you will be blameless on the Day of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ⁹ Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son Jesus the Messiah, our Lord.
¹⁰ Divisions in the ChurchBrothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, I urge all of you to be in agreement and not to have divisions among you, so that you may be perfectly united in your understanding and opinions. ¹¹ My brothers, some members of Chloe’s family have made it clear to me that there are quarrels among you. ¹² This is what I mean: Each of you is saying, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,” or “I belong to the Messiah.”
¹³ Is the Messiah divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he? You weren’t baptized in Paul’s name, were you? ¹⁴ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ (Oh yes, I also baptized the family of Stephanas. Beyond that, I’m not sure whether I baptized anyone else.) ¹⁷ For the Messiah did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, not with eloquent wisdom, so the cross of the Messiah won’t be emptied of its power.
¹⁸ The Messiah is God’s Power and WisdomFor the message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God’s power to us who are being saved. ¹⁹ For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will reject.”
²⁰ Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? God has turned the wisdom of the world into nonsense, hasn’t he? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe through the nonsense of our preaching. ²² Jews ask for signs, and Greeks look for wisdom, ²³ but we preach the Messiah crucified. He is a stumbling block to Jews and nonsense to gentiles, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, the Messiah is God’s power and God’s wisdom. ²⁵ For God’s nonsense is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.
²⁶ Brothers, think about your own calling. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. ²⁷ But God chose what is nonsense in the world to make the wise feel ashamed. God chose what is weak in the world to make the strong feel ashamed. ²⁸ And God chose what is insignificant in the world, what is despised, what is nothing, in order to destroy what is something, ²⁹ so that no one may boast in God’s presence. ³⁰ It is because of God that you are in union with the Messiah Jesus, who for us has become wisdom from God, as well as our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. ³¹ Therefore, as it is written, “The person who boasts must boast in the Lord.”

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, ² to the church of God sanctified in Christ Jesus that is in Corinth,* called to be saints, together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord* and ours. ³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I give thanks to my God always concerning you, because of the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ that* in everything you were made rich in him, in all speech and all knowledge, ⁶ just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed in you, ⁷ so that you do not lack in any spiritual gift as you* eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom you were called to fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all say the same thing and there not be divisions among you, and that you be made complete in the same mind and with the same purpose. ¹¹ For it has been made clear to me concerning you, my brothers, by _⌊Chloe's people_⌋*, that there are quarrels among you. ¹² But I say this, that each of you is saying, "I am with Paul," and "I am with Apollos," and "I am with Cephas," and "I am with Christ." ¹³ Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he?* Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I give thanks* that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ lest anyone should say that you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know if I baptized anyone else.) ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel, not with _⌊clever speech_⌋*, lest the cross of Christ be emptied. ¹⁸ For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written,
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will confound."* ²⁰ Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. ²² For indeed, Jews ask for sign miracles and Greeks seek wisdom, ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a cause for stumbling, but to the Gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,* and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.* ²⁶ For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise according to human standards,* not many were powerful, not many were well born. ²⁷ But the foolish things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the strong, ²⁸ and the insignificant of the world, and the despised, God chose, the things that are not, in order that he might abolish the things that are, ²⁹ so that all flesh may not boast before God. ³⁰ But from him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, ³¹ so that, just as it is written, "The one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."*

⁴ I am always giving-thanks to my God concerning you, on the basis of the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that you were enriched in him in everything, in all speech and all knowledge; ⁶ just-as the testimony of Christ was steadfast in you; ⁷ so-that you are lacking in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who will also confirm you until the end, so that you are irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
¹⁰ Now brethren, I am pleading with you through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in order that you all should speak the same thing and there should be no splits among you, but you should be framed together in the same mind and in the same viewpoint. ¹¹ For it has been indicated to me concerning you, my brethren, by the household of Chloe, that strifes are among you. ¹² Now I am saying this, that each of you says, I am indeed of Paul!

¹⁸ For the account of the cross is indeed foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are saved–it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it has been written, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and I will reject the understanding of the intelligent ones.’ ²⁰ Where is the wise?

Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, it delighted God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe. ²² Since both Jews ask for a sign and Greeks seek wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ as having been crucified, indeed an offense to the Jews, but foolishness to the Greeks; ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolish things of God are wiser than men, and the weakness of God is mightier than men.
²⁶ For you see your calling brethren, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. ²⁷ But God chose the foolish things of the world, in order that he might shame the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world, in order that he might shame the strong; ²⁸ and God chose the ignoble things of the world and the things which have been scorned and the things which are not, in order that he might do-away-with the things which are; ²⁹ that no flesh might boast in God’s sight. ³⁰ But you are from him, in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom and righteousness and holiness and redemption from God; ³¹ that, just-as it has been written, ‘He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.’

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, ² To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: ³ Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus. ⁵ For in Him you have been enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge, ⁶ because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. ⁷ Therefore, you don't lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus the Messiah to be revealed. ⁸ He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. ¹⁰ I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction. ¹¹ My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. ¹² Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ." ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. ¹⁶ Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember baptizing anyone else. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospelnot with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. ¹⁸ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. ²² Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, ²⁴ but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength. ²⁶ Brothers, think about your own calling. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. ²⁷ But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. ²⁸ God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are, ²⁹ that no flesh may boast before him. ³⁰ It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. ³¹ therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."

Wo sind die Schriftgelehrten? Wo sind die Weltweisen?

2 G2532 Der G1577 Gemeinde G2316 Gottes G1722 zu G2882 Korinth G3588 , den G37 Geheiligten G1722 in G5547 Christo G2424 JEsu G2822 , den berufenen G40 Heiligen G3956 samt allen G4862 denen G1941 , die anrufen G3686 den Namen G2257 unsers G2962 HErrn G2424 JEsu G1722 Christi an G3956 allen G846 ihren G5037 und G2257 unsern G5117 Orten .

3 G5485 Gnade G5213 sei mit euch G2532 und G1515 Friede G575 von G2316 GOtt G2257 , unserm G3962 Vater G2532 , und G2962 dem HErrn G2424 JEsu G5547 Christo!

4 G5213 Ich G2168 danke G3450 meinem G2316 GOtt G3842 allezeit G4012 eurethalben für G4012 die G5485 Gnade G1909 Gottes G3588 , die G5216 euch G1325 gegeben G1722 ist in G5547 Christo G2424 JEsu,

5 G3754 daß G846 ihr G4148 seid G1722 durch ihn an G3956 allen G1722 Stücken reich gemacht, an G3956 aller G3056 Lehre G2532 und G1722 in G3956 aller G1108 Erkenntnis

6 G2531 wie G3142 denn die Predigt G5547 von Christo G1722 in G5213 euch G950 kräftig worden ist,

7 G5620 also daß G5209 ihr G3367 keinen G5302 Mangel habt an G5486 irgendeiner Gabe G553 und wartet G1722 nur auf G602 die Offenbarung G2257 unsers G2962 HErrn G2424 JEsu G5547 Christi .

8 G3739 welcher G2532 auch G950 wird G5209 euch G950 fest G2193 behalten bis G5056 ans Ende G410 , daß ihr unsträflich G1722 seid auf G2250 den Tag G2257 unsers G2962 HErrn G2424 JEsu G5547 Christi .

9 G2316 Denn GOtt G4103 ist treu G1223 , durch G3739 welchen G2564 ihr G1519 berufen seid zur G2842 Gemeinschaft G846 seines G2424 Sohnes JEsu G5547 Christi G2257 , unsers G2962 HErrn .

10 G846 Ich G3870 ermahne G5209 euch G1161 aber G80 , liebe Brüder G1223 , durch G846 den G3686 Namen G2257 unsers G2962 HErrn G2424 JEsu G5547 Christi G2443 ; daß G3004 ihr G3004 allzumal einerlei Rede G2532 führet und G5600 lasset G3361 nicht G4978 Spaltungen G5213 unter euch G846 sein G2675 , sondern haltet fest aneinander G1722 in G3956 einem G3563 Sinn G1161 und G1106 in einerlei Meinung .

11 G1063 Denn G3427 mir G1213 ist G80 vorkommen, liebe Brüder G1722 , durch G3450 die G5514 aus Chloes G3588 Gesinde G4012 von G5216 euch G3754 , daß G2054 Zank G5259 unter G5213 euch G1526 sei .

12 G5124 Ich G3004 sage G1161 aber G3754 davon, daß G5216 unter euch G1538 einer G3004 spricht G1510 : Ich bin G3972 paulisch G3303 ; der G625 andere: Ich bin apollisch G2786 ; der dritte: Ich bin kephisch G5547 ; der vierte: Ich bin christisch .

13 G3307 Wie? ist G5547 Christus G3972 nun zertrennet? Ist denn Paulus G5228 für G5216 euch G2228 gekreuziget, oder G1519 seid ihr auf G3972 des Paulus G3686 Namen G907 getauft ?

14 G2168 Ich danke G2316 GOtt G3754 , daß G3762 ich niemand G5216 unter euch G907 getauft G1508 habe außer G2532 Crispus und G1050 Gajus,

15 G3363 daß G5100 nicht jemand G2036 sagen G1519 möge, ich hätte auf G1699 meinen G3686 Namen G907 getauft .

16 G1161 Ich habe aber G2532 auch G907 getauft G4734 des Stephanas G3624 Hausgesinde G1492 ; danach weiß G3756 ich nicht G1536 , ob G243 ich etliche andere G907 getauft habe.

17 G1063 Denn G5547 Christus G649 hat G3165 mich G3756 nicht G1722 gesandt zu G907 taufen G235 , sondern G2097 das Evangelium zu predigen G3756 , nicht G4678 mit klugen G3056 Worten G3363 , auf daß G4716 nicht das Kreuz G2758 Christi zunichte werde .

18 G1063 Denn G3056 das Wort G4716 vom Kreuz G2076 ist G3472 eine Torheit G622 denen, die verloren werden G2254 ; uns G1161 aber G4982 , die wir selig G3303 werden, ist G1411 es eine Gotteskraft .

19 G1063 Denn G1125 es stehet geschrieben G622 : Ich will zunichte machen G4678 die Weisheit G4680 der Weisen G2532 , und G4907 den Verstand G4908 der Verständigen G114 will ich verwerfen .

20 G4226 Wo G5127 sind die G4680 Klugen G4226 ? Wo G1122 sind die Schriftgelehrten G4226 ? Wo G4804 sind die Weltweisen G3471 ? Hat G3780 nicht G2316 GOtt G4678 die Weisheit G5127 dieser G165 Welt zur Torheit gemacht?

21 G1063 Denn G1894 dieweil G2106 die G2889 Welt G1223 durch G4678 ihre Weisheit G2316 GOtt G1722 in G4678 seiner Weisheit G3756 nicht G1097 erkannte G2316 , gefiel es GOtt G1223 wohl, durch G3472 törichte G2782 Predigt G4982 selig zu machen G4100 die, so daran glauben,

22 G1894 sintemal G2453 die Juden G4592 Zeichen G154 fordern G2212 , und G1672 die Griechen G4678 nach Weisheit fragen.

23 G2249 Wir G1161 aber G2784 predigen G4717 den gekreuzigten G5547 Christum G2453 , den Juden G4625 ein Ärgernis G1161 und G1672 den Griechen G3472 eine Torheit

24 G3588 Denen G1161 aber G846 , die G2822 berufen sind G2453 , beide, Juden G5037 und G1672 Griechen G2532 , predigen wir G5547 Christum G2316 göttliche G1411 Kraft G2532 und G2316 göttliche G4678 Weisheit .

25 G3754 Denn G2316 die göttliche G3474 Torheit G2076 ist G4680 weiser G444 , denn die Menschen G2532 sind, und G2316 die göttliche G772 Schwachheit G2076 ist G2478 stärker G444 , denn die Menschen sind.

26 G991 Sehet G80 an, liebe Brüder G5216 , euren G2821 Beruf G3756 : nicht G4183 viel G4680 Weise G1063 nach G4561 dem Fleisch G3756 , nicht G4183 viel G3756 Gewaltige, nicht G4183 viel G2104 Edle G1415 sind berufen.

27 G235 sondern G3474 was töricht G2478 ist G2889 vor der Welt G1586 , das hat G2316 GOtt G2443 erwählet, daß G4680 er die Weisen G2532 zuschanden machte; und G772 was schwach G2889 ist vor der Welt G1586 , das hat G2316 GOtt G2443 erwählet, daß er zuschanden machte, was stark ist;

28 G2532 und G5607 das G36 Unedle G2889 vor der Welt G2532 und G5607 das G1848 Verachtete G1586 hat G2316 GOtt G2532 erwählet, und G3361 das da nichts G2443 ist, daß G3588 er zunichte machte, was etwas ist,

29 G3704 auf daß G846 sich vor ihm G4561 kein Fleisch G2744 rühme .

30 G1537 Von G2532 welchem auch G846 ihr G1722 herkommt in G5547 Christo G2424 JEsu G3739 , welcher G5210 uns G1096 gemacht G2532 ist G575 von G2316 GOtt G4678 zur Weisheit G1161 und G1343 zur Gerechtigkeit G5037 und G38 zur Heiligung G2532 und G629 zur Erlösung,

31 G1722 auf G2443 daß G2531 [wie G1125 geschrieben G2744 stehet], wer sich rühmet G2744 , der rühme G2962 sich des HErrn .

21 G1063 Denn G1894 dieweil G2889 die Welt G1223 durch G4678 ihre Weisheit G2316 Gott G1722 in G4678 seiner Weisheit G3756 nicht G2316 G1097 erkannte G2106 , gefiel G2316 es Gott G1223 wohl, durch G3472 törichte G2782 Predigt G4982 selig G4982 zu machen die G4100 , so daran glauben .

22 G2532 G1894 Sintemal G2453 die Juden G4592 Zeichen G154 fordern G2532 und G1672 die Griechen G4678 nach Weisheit G2212 fragen,

23 G2249 wir G1161 aber G2784 predigen G4717 den gekreuzigten G5547 Christus G2453 , den Juden G3303 G4625 ein Ärgernis G1161 und G1672 den Griechen G3472 eine Torheit;

24 G846 denen G1161 aber G3588 , die G2822 berufen G5037 sind, G2453 Juden G2532 und G1672 Griechen G5547 , predigen wir Christum G2316 , göttliche G1411 Kraft G2532 und G2316 göttliche G4678 Weisheit .

25 G3754 Denn G2316 die göttliche G3474 Torheit G2076 ist G4680 weiser G444 , als die Menschen G2532 sind; und G2316 die göttliche G772 Schwachheit G2076 ist G2478 stärker G444 , als die Menschen sind.

26 G1063 G991 Sehet G80 an, liebe Brüder G5216 , eure G2821 Berufung G3754 : G3756 nicht G4183 viel G4680 Weise G2596 nach G4561 dem Fleisch G3756 , nicht G4183 viel G1415 Gewaltige G3756 , nicht G4183 viel G2104 Edle sind berufen.

27 G235 Sondern G3474 was töricht G2889 ist vor der Welt G1586 , das hat G2316 Gott G1586 erwählt G2443 , daß G4680 er die Weisen G2617 zu Schanden mache G2532 ; und G772 was schwach G2889 ist vor der Welt G1586 , das hat G2316 Gott G1586 erwählt G2443 , daß G2617 er zu Schanden mache G2478 , was stark ist;

28 G2532 und G36 das Unedle G2889 vor der Welt G2532 und G1848 das Verachtete G1586 hat G2316 Gott G1586 erwählt G2532 , und G3588 das G3361 da nichts G5607 ist G2443 , daß G2673 er zunichte mache G5607 , was etwas ist,

29 G3704 auf daß G1799 sich vor G846 ihm G3361 G3956 kein G4561 Fleisch G2744 rühme .

30 G1537 Von G846 ihm G2075 kommt G1161 auch G5210 ihr G2075 her G1722 in G5547 Christo G2424 Jesu G3739 , welcher G2254 G5037 uns G1096 gemacht G575 ist von G2316 Gott G4678 zur Weisheit G1343 und zur Gerechtigkeit G2532 und G38 zur Heiligung G2532 und G629 zur Erlösung,

21 G1063 Denn G1894 sintemal G1722 in G4678 der Weisheit G2316 Gottes G2889 die Welt G1223 durch G4678 die Weisheit G2316 Gott G3756 nicht G1097 erkannte, G2106 so gefiel G2316 es Gott G2106 wohl, G1223 durch G3472 die Torheit G2782 der Predigt G4100 die Glaubenden G4982 zu erretten;

22 G1894 sintemal G2532 ja sowohl G2453 Juden G4592 Zeichen G154 fordern, G2532 als auch G1672 Griechen G4678 Weisheit G2212 suchen;

23 G2249 wir G1161 aber G2784 predigen G5547 Christum G4717 als gekreuzigt, G2453 den Juden G4625 G3303 ein Ärgernis, G1161 und G1672 den Nationen G3472 eine Torheit;

24 G2822 den Berufenen G846 selbst G1161 aber, G5037 sowohl G2453 Juden G2532 als G1672 Griechen, G5547 Christum, G2316 Gottes G1411 Kraft G2532 und G2316 Gottes G4678 Weisheit;

25 G3754 denn G3474 das Törichte G2316 Gottes G2076 ist G4680 weiser G444 als die Menschen, G2532 und G772 das Schwache G2316 Gottes G2076 ist G2478 stärker G444 als die Menschen.

26 G1063 Denn G991 sehet G5216 eure G2821 Berufung, G80 Brüder, G3754 daß G3756 es nicht G4183 viele G4680 Weise G2596 nach G4561 dem Fleische, G3756 nicht G4183 viele G1415 Mächtige, G3756 nicht G4183 viele G2104 Edle sind;

27 G235 sondern G3474 das Törichte G2889 der Welt G1586 hat G2316 Gott G1586 auserwählt, G2443 auf daß G4680 er die Weisen G2617 zu Schanden mache; G2532 und G772 das Schwache G2889 der Welt G1586 hat G2316 Gott G1586 auserwählt, G2443 auf daß G2478 er das Starke G2617 zu Schanden mache;

28 G2532 und G36 das Unedle G2889 der Welt G2532 und G1848 das Verachtete G1586 hat G2316 Gott G1586 auserwählt, G2532 [und] G3588 das, G3361 was nicht G5607 ist, G2443 auf daß G3588 er das, G5607 was ist, G2673 zunichte mache,

29 G3704 damit G2744 sich G1799 vor G846 Gott G3361 G3956 kein G4561 Fleisch G2744 rühme.

30 G1537 Aus G846 ihm G1161 aber G2075 seid G5210 ihr G1722 in G5547 Christo G2424 Jesu, G3739 der G2254 uns G1096 geworden G4678 ist Weisheit G575 von G2316 Gott G2532 und G1343 Gerechtigkeit G2532 und G38 Heiligkeit G2532 und G629 Erlösung;

19 G1063 Denn G1125 es steht geschrieben G4678 : "Ich will die Weisheit G4680 der Weisen G622 vernichten G2532 , und G4907 den Verstand G4908 der Verständigen G114 will ich hinwegtun ".

20 G4226 Wo G4680 ist der Weise G4226 ? wo G1122 der Schriftgelehrte G4226 ? wo G4804 der Schulstreiter G5127 dieses G165 Zeitlaufs G3471 ? Hat G3780 nicht G2316 Gott G4678 die Weisheit G5127 der G2889 Welt G3471 zur Torheit gemacht ?

21 G1063 Denn G1894 weil ja G1722 in G4678 der Weisheit G2316 Gottes G2889 die Welt G1223 durch G4678 die Weisheit G2316 Gott G3756 nicht G1097 erkannte G2106 , so gefiel G2316 es Gott G2106 wohl G1223 , durch G3472 die Torheit G2782 der Predigt G4100 die Glaubenden G4982 zu erretten;

22 G1894 weil ja G2532 sowohl G2453 Juden G4592 Zeichen G154 fordern G2532 , als auch G1672 Griechen G4678 Weisheit G2212 suchen;

23 G2249 wir G1161 aber G2784 predigen G5547 Christum G4717 als gekreuzigt G2453 , den Juden G3303 -G4625 ein Ärgernis G1161 , und G1672 den Nationen G3472 eine Torheit;

24 G2822 den Berufenen G846 selbst G1161 aber G5037 , sowohl G2453 Juden G2532 als G1672 Griechen G5547 , Christum G2316 , Gottes G1411 Kraft G2532 und G2316 Gottes G4678 Weisheit;

25 G3754 denn G3474 das Törichte G2316 Gottes G2076 ist G4680 weiser G444 als die Menschen G2532 , und G772 das Schwache G2316 Gottes G2076 ist G2478 stärker G444 als die Menschen .

26 G1063 Denn G991 sehet G5216 eure G2821 Berufung G80 , Brüder G3754 , daß G3756 es nicht G4183 viele G4680 Weise G2596 nach G4561 dem Fleische G3756 , nicht G4183 viele G1415 Mächtige G3756 , nicht G4183 viele G2104 Edle sind;

27 G235 sondern G3474 das Törichte G2889 der Welt G1586 hat G2316 Gott G1586 auserwählt G2443 , auf daß G4680 er die Weisen G2617 zu Schanden mache G2532 ; und G772 das Schwache G2889 der Welt G1586 hat G2316 Gott G1586 auserwählt G2443 , auf daß G2478 er das Starke G2617 zu Schanden mache;

28 G2532 und G36 das Unedle G2889 der Welt G2532 und G1848 das Verachtete G1586 hat G2316 Gott G1586 auserwählt G2532 , [und G3588 ]das G3361 , was nicht G5607 ist G2443 , auf daß G3588 er das G5607 , was ist G2673 , zunichte mache,

29 G3704 damit G2744 sich G1799 vor G846 Gott G3361 -G3956 kein G4561 Fleisch G2744 rühme .

30 G1537 Aus G846 ihm G1161 aber G2075 seid G5210 ihr G1722 in G5547 Christo G2424 Jesu G3739 , der G2254 uns G1096 geworden G4678 ist Weisheit G575 von G2316 Gott G2532 und G1343 Gerechtigkeit G2532 und G38 Heiligkeit G2532 und G629 Erlösung;

31 G2443 auf daß G2531 , wie G1125 geschrieben G2744 steht:" Wer sich rühmt G2744 , der rühme sich G1722 des G2962 Herrn ".

Waar is de schriftgeleerde? Waar is de onderzoeker dezer eeuw? Heeft God de wijsheid dezer wereld niet dwaas gemaakt? ²¹ Want nademaal, in de wijsheid Gods, de wereld God niet heeft gekend door de wijsheid, zo heeft het Gode behaagd, door de dwaasheid der prediking, zalig te maken, die geloven; ²² Overmits de Joden een teken begeren, en de Grieken wijsheid zoeken; ²³ Doch wij prediken Christus, den Gekruisigde, den Joden wel een ergernis, en den Grieken een dwaasheid; ²⁴ Maar hun, die geroepen zijn, beiden Joden en Grieken, prediken wij Christus, de kracht Gods, en de wijsheid Gods. ²⁵ Want het dwaze Gods is wijzer dan de mensen; en het zwakke Gods is sterker dan de mensen. ²⁶ Want gij ziet uw roeping, broeders, dat gij niet vele wijzen zijt naar het vlees, niet vele machtigen, niet vele edelen. ²⁷ Maar het dwaze der wereld heeft God uitverkoren, opdat Hij de wijzen beschamen zou; en het zwakke der wereld heeft God uitverkoren, opdat Hij het sterke zou beschamen; ²⁸ En het onedele der wereld, en het verachte heeft God uitverkoren, en hetgeen niets is, opdat Hij hetgeen iets is, te niet zou maken; ²⁹ Opdat geen vlees zou roemen voor Hem. ³⁰ Maar uit Hem zijt gij in Christus Jezus, Die ons geworden is wijsheid van God, en rechtvaardigheid, en heiligmaking, en verlossing; ³¹ Opdat het zij, gelijk geschreven is: Die roemt, roeme in den Heere.

1 G3972 Paulus G2822 , een geroepen G652 apostel G2424 van Jezus G5547 Christus G1223 , door G2307 den wil G2316 van God G2532 , en G4988 Sosthenes G80 , de broeder,

2 G1577 Aan de Gemeente G2316 Gods G3588 , die G1722 te G2882 Korinthe G5607 G5752 is G37 G5772 , den geheiligden G1722 in G5547 Christus G2424 Jezus G2822 , den geroepenen G40 heiligen G4862 , met G3956 allen G3686 , die den Naam G2257 van onzen G2962 Heere G2424 Jezus G5547 Christus G1941 G5734 aanroepen G1722 in G3956 alle G5117 plaats G5037 , beide G846 hun G2532 en G2257 onzen [Heere];

3 G5485 Genade G5213 zij u G2532 en G1515 vrede G575 van G2316 God G2257 onzen G3962 Vader G2532 , en G2962 den Heere G2424 Jezus G5547 Christus.

4 G2168 G5719 Ik dank G3450 mijn G2316 God G3842 allen tijd G4012 over G5216 u G1909 , vanwege G5485 de genade G2316 Gods G3588 , die G5213 u G1325 G5685 gegeven is G1722 in G5547 Christus G2424 Jezus;

5 G3754 Dat G1722 gij in G3956 alles G4148 G5681 rijk zijt geworden G1722 in G846 Hem G1722 , in G3956 alle G3056 rede G2532 en G3956 alle G1108 kennis;

6 G2531 Gelijk G3142 de getuigenis G5547 van Christus G950 G5681 bevestigd is G1722 onder G5213 u;

7 G5620 Alzo dat G5209 het u G1722 aan G3361 G3367 gene G5486 gave G5302 G5745 ontbreekt G553 G5740 , verwachtende G602 de openbaring G2257 van onzen G2962 Heere G2424 Jezus G5547 Christus.

8 G3739 Welke G5209 [God] u G2532 ook G950 G5692 zal bevestigen G2193 tot G5056 het einde G410 toe, [om] onstraffelijk G1722 [te] [zijn] in G2250 den dag G2257 van onzen G2962 Heere G2424 Jezus G5547 Christus.

9 G2316 God G4103 is getrouw G1223 , door G3739 Welken G2564 G5681 gij geroepen zijt G1519 tot G2842 de gemeenschap G846 van Zijn G5207 Zoon G2424 Jezus G5547 Christus G2257 , onzen G2962 Heere.

10 G1161 Maar G3870 G5719 ik bid G5209 u G80 , broeders G1223 , door G3686 den Naam G2257 van onzen G2962 Heere G2424 Jezus G5547 Christus G2443 , dat G3956 gij allen G846 hetzelfde G3004 G5725 spreekt G2532 , en G1722 [dat] onder G5213 u G3361 geen G4978 scheuringen G5600 G5753 zijn G1161 , maar G2675 G5772 [dat] gij samengevoegd G5600 G5753 zijt G1722 in G846 eenzelfden G3563 zin G2532 , en G1722 in G846 een zelfde G1106 gevoelen.

11 G1063 Want G3427 mij G4012 is van G5216 u G1213 G5681 bekend gemaakt G3450 , mijn G80 broeders G5259 , door G3588 die G5514 van [het] [huisgezin] van Chloe G3754 [zijn], dat G2054 er twisten G1722 onder G5213 u G1526 G5748 zijn.

12 G1161 En G5124 dit G3004 G5719 zeg ik G3754 , dat G1538 een iegelijk G5216 van u G3004 G5719 zegt G1473 G3303 : Ik G1510 G5748 ben G3972 van Paulus G1161 , en G1473 ik G625 van Apollos G1161 ; en G1473 ik G2786 van Cefas G1161 ; en G1473 ik G5547 van Christus.

13 G5547 Is Christus G3307 G5769 gedeeld G3361 ? G3972 Is Paulus G5228 voor G5216 u G4717 G5681 gekruist G2228 ? Of G1519 zijt gij in G3972 Paulus G3686 naam G907 G5681 gedoopt?

14 G2168 G5719 Ik dank G2316 God G3754 , dat G3762 ik niemand G5216 van ulieden G907 G5656 gedoopt heb G1508 , dan G2921 Krispus G2532 en G1050 Gajus;

15 G3363 Opdat niet G5100 iemand G2036 G5632 zegge G3754 , dat G1519 ik in G1699 mijn G3686 naam G907 G5656 gedoopt heb.

16 G1161 Doch G2532 ik heb ook G3624 het huisgezin G4734 van Stefanus G907 G5656 gedoopt G3063 ; voorts G1492 G5758 weet ik G3756 niet G1536 , of ik iemand G243 anders G907 G5656 gedoopt heb.

17 G1063 Want G5547 Christus G3165 heeft mij G3756 niet G649 G5656 gezonden G907 G5721 , om te dopen G235 , maar G2097 G5733 om het Evangelie te verkondigen G3756 ; niet G1722 met G4678 wijsheid G3056 van woorden G2443 , opdat G4716 het kruis G5547 van Christus G3361 niet G2758 G5686 verijdeld worde.

18 G1063 Want G3056 het woord G4716 des kruises G2076 G5748 is G3303 wel G622 G5730 dengenen, die verloren gaan G3472 , dwaasheid G1161 ; maar G2254 ons G4982 G5746 , die behouden worden G2076 G5748 , is het G1411 een kracht G2316 Gods;

19 G1063 Want G1125 G5769 er is geschreven G4678 : Ik zal de wijsheid G4680 der wijzen G622 G5692 doen vergaan G2532 , en G4907 het verstand G4908 der verstandigen G114 G5692 zal Ik te niet maken.

20 G4226 Waar G4680 is de wijze G4226 ? Waar G1122 is de schriftgeleerde G4226 ? Waar G4804 is de onderzoeker G5127 dezer G165 eeuw G2316 ? Heeft God G4678 de wijsheid G5127 dezer G2889 wereld G3780 niet G3471 G5656 dwaas gemaakt?

21 G1063 Want G1894 nademaal G1722 , in G4678 de wijsheid G2316 Gods G2889 , de wereld G2316 God G3756 niet G1097 G5627 heeft gekend G1223 door G4678 de wijsheid G2316 , zo heeft het Gode G2106 G5656 behaagd G1223 , door G3472 de dwaasheid G2782 der prediking G4982 G5658 , zalig te maken G4100 G5723 , die geloven;

22 G2532 G1894 Overmits G2453 de Joden G4592 een teken G154 G5719 begeren G2532 , en G1672 de Grieken G4678 wijsheid G2212 G5719 zoeken;

23 G1161 Doch G2249 wij G2784 G5719 prediken G5547 Christus G4717 G5772 , den Gekruisigde G2453 , den Joden G3303 wel G4625 een ergernis G1161 , en G1672 den Grieken G3472 een dwaasheid;

24 G1161 Maar G846 hun G3588 , die G2822 geroepen zijn G5037 , beiden G2453 Joden G2532 en G1672 Grieken G5547 , [prediken] [wij] Christus G1411 , de kracht G2316 Gods G2532 , en G4678 de wijsheid G2316 Gods.

25 G3754 Want G3474 het dwaze G2316 Gods G2076 G5748 is G4680 wijzer dan G444 de mensen G2532 ; en G772 het zwakke G2316 Gods G2076 G5748 is G2478 sterker dan G444 de mensen.

26 G1063 Want G991 G5719 gij ziet G5216 uw G2821 roeping G80 , broeders G3754 , dat G3756 [gij] niet G4183 vele G4680 wijzen G2596 [zijt] naar G4561 het vlees G3756 , niet G4183 vele G1415 machtigen G3756 , niet G4183 vele G2104 edelen.

27 G235 Maar G3474 het dwaze G2889 der wereld G2316 heeft God G1586 G5668 uitverkoren G2443 , opdat G4680 Hij de wijzen G2617 G5725 beschamen zou G2532 ; en G772 het zwakke G2889 der wereld G2316 heeft God G1586 G5668 uitverkoren G2443 , opdat G2478 Hij het sterke G2617 G5725 zou beschamen;

28 G2532 En G36 het onedele G2889 der wereld G2532 , en G1848 G5772 het verachte G2316 heeft God G1586 G5668 uitverkoren G2532 , en G3588 hetgeen G3361 niets G5607 G5752 is G2443 , opdat G5607 G5752 Hij hetgeen [iets] is G2673 G5661 , te niet zou maken;

29 G3704 Opdat G3361 G3956 geen G4561 vlees G2744 G5667 zou roemen G1799 voor G846 Hem.

30 G1161 Maar G1537 uit G846 Hem G2075 G5748 zijt G5210 gij G1722 in G5547 Christus G2424 Jezus G3739 , Die G2254 G5037 ons G1096 G5675 geworden is G4678 wijsheid G575 van G2316 God G2532 , en G1343 rechtvaardigheid G2532 , en G38 heiligmaking G2532 , en G629 verlossing;

31 G2443 Opdat G2531 [het] [zij], gelijk G1125 G5769 geschreven is G2744 G5740 : Die roemt G2744 G5737 , roeme G1722 in G2962 den Heere.

Paul, apôtre appelé de Jésus Christ par la volonté de Dieu, ² et Sosthène, le frère, à l'assemblée de Dieu qui est à Corinthe, aux sanctifiés dans le christ Jésus, saints appelés, avec tous ceux qui en tout lieu invoquent le nom de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ, et leur Seigneur et le nôtre: ³ Grâce et paix à vous, de la part de Dieu notre Père et du Seigneur Jésus Christ! ⁴ Je rends toujours grâces à mon Dieu pour vous, à cause de la grâce de Dieu qui vous a été donnée dans le Christ Jésus, ⁵ de ce qu'en toutes choses vous avez été enrichis en lui en toute parole et toute connaissance, ⁶ selon que le témoignage du Christ a été confirmé au milieu de vous, ⁷ de sorte que vous ne manquez d'aucun don de grâce pendant que vous attendez la révélation de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ, ⁸ qui aussi vous affermira jusqu'à la fin pour être irréprochables dans la journée de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ. ⁹ Dieu, par qui vous avez été appelés à la communion de son Fils Jésus Christ, notre Seigneur, est fidèle. ¹⁰
Or je vous exhorte, frères, par le nom de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ, à parler tous un même langage, et à ce qu'il n'y ait pas de divisions parmi vous, mais que vous soyez parfaitement unis dans un même sentiment et dans un même avis. ¹¹ Car, mes frères, il m'a été dit de vous, par ceux qui sont de chez Chloé, qu'il y a des dissensions parmi vous. ¹² Or voici ce que je dis, c'est que chacun de vous dit: Moi, je suis de Paul; et moi, d'Apollos; et moi, de Céphas; et moi, de Christ. ¹³ Le Christ est-il divisé? Paul a-t-il été crucifié pour vous? ou avez-vous été baptisés pour le nom de Paul? ¹⁴
Je rends grâces à Dieu de ce que je n'ai baptisé aucun de vous, sinon Crispus et Gaïus, ¹⁵ afin que personne ne dise que j'ai baptisé pour mon nom. ¹⁶ J'ai bien aussi baptisé la maison de Stéphanas; du reste je ne sais pas si j'ai baptisé quelqu'un d'autre. ¹⁷
Car Christ ne m'a pas envoyé baptiser, mais évangéliser, non point avec sagesse de parole, afin que la croix du Christ ne soit pas rendue vaine; ¹⁸ car la parole de la croix est folie pour ceux qui périssent, mais à nous qui obtenons le salut elle est la puissance de Dieu. ¹⁹ Car il est écrit: "Je détruirai la sagesse des sages et j'annulerai l'intelligence des intelligents". ²⁰ Où est le sage? où est le scribe? où est le disputeur de ce siècle? Dieu n'a-t-il pas fait de la sagesse du monde une folie? ²¹ Car, puisque, dans la sagesse de Dieu, le monde, par la sagesse, n'a pas connu Dieu, il a plu à Dieu, par la folie de la prédication, de sauver ceux qui croient; ²² puisque les Juifs demandent des miracles et que les Grecs recherchent la sagesse; ²³ mais nous, nous prêchons Christ crucifié, aux Juifs occasion de chute, aux nations folie, ²⁴ mais à ceux qui sont appelés, et Juifs et Grecs, Christ la puissance de Dieu et la sagesse de Dieu; ²⁵ parce que la folie de Dieu est plus sage que les hommes, et que la faiblesse de Dieu est plus forte que les hommes. ²⁶ Car considérez votre vocation, frères, -qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de sages selon la chair, pas beaucoup de puissants, pas beaucoup de nobles,... ²⁷ Mais Dieu a choisi les choses folles du monde pour couvrir de honte les hommes sages; et Dieu a choisi les choses faibles du monde pour couvrir de honte les choses fortes; ²⁸ et Dieu a choisi les choses viles du monde, et celles qui sont méprisées, et celles qui ne sont pas, pour annuler celles qui sont; ²⁹ en sorte que nulle chair ne se glorifie devant Dieu. ³⁰ Or vous êtes de lui dans le Christ Jésus, qui nous a été fait sagesse de la part de Dieu, et justice, et sainteté, et rédemption, ³¹ afin que, comme il est écrit, "celui qui se glorifie, se glorifie dans le *Seigneur".

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul appelé à être Apôtre de Jésus-Christ, par la volonté de Dieu, et le frère Sosthènes, ² A l'Eglise de Dieu qui est à Corinthe, aux sanctifiés en Jésus-Christ, qui êtes appelés à être saints, avec tous ceux qui en quelque lieu que ce soit invoquent le Nom de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, leur Seigneur et le nôtre; ³ Que la grâce et la paix vous soient données par Dieu notre Père, et par le Seigneur Jésus-Christ. ⁴ Je rends toujours grâces à mon Dieu à cause de vous, pour la grâce de Dieu qui vous a été donnée en Jésus-Christ; ⁵ De ce qu'en toutes choses vous êtes enrichis en lui de tout don de parole, et de toute connaissance; ⁶ Selon que le témoignage de Jésus-Christ a été confirmé en vous; ⁷ Tellement qu'il ne vous manque aucun don, pendant que vous attendez la manifestation de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, ⁸ Qui aussi vous affermira jusqu'à la fin, pour être irrépréhensibles en la journée de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ. ⁹ Et Dieu, par qui vous avez été appelés à la communion de son Fils Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur, est fidèle. ¹⁰ Or je vous prie, mes frères, par le Nom de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, que vous parliez tous un même langage, et qu'il n'y ait point de divisions entre vous, mais que vous soyez bien unis dans un même sentiment, et dans un même avis. ¹¹ Car, mes frères, il m'a été dit de vous par ceux qui sont de chez Chloé, qu'il y a des dissensions parmi vous. ¹² Voici donc ce que je dis, c'est que chacun de vous dit : pour moi, je suis de Paul; et moi je suis d'Apollos; et moi, de Céphas; et moi, de Christ. ¹³ Christ est-il divisé ? Paul a-t-il été crucifié pour vous ? ou avez-vous été baptisés au nom de Paul ? ¹⁴ Je rends grâces à Dieu que je n'ai baptisé aucun de vous, sinon Crispus et Gaïus; ¹⁵ Afin que personne ne dise que j'ai baptisé en mon nom. ¹⁶ J'ai bien aussi baptisé la famille de Stéphanas; du reste, je ne sais pas si j'ai baptisé quelque autre. ¹⁷ Car Christ ne m'a pas envoyé pour baptiser, mais pour évangéliser, non point avec les discours de la sagesse humaine, afin que la croix de Christ ne soit point anéantie. ¹⁸ Car la parole de la croix est une folie à ceux qui périssent; mais à nous qui obtenons le salut, elle est la vertu de Dieu. ¹⁹ Vu qu'il est écrit : j'abolirai la sagesse des sages, et j'anéantirai l'intelligence des hommes intelligents. ²⁰ Où est le sage ? où est le Scribe ? où est le Disputeur de ce Siècle? Dieu n'a-t-il pas manifesté la folie de la sagesse de ce monde ? ²¹ Car puisqu'en la sapience de Dieu, le monde n'a point connu Dieu par la sagesse, le bon plaisir de Dieu a été de sauver les croyants par la folie de la prédication. ²² Car les Juifs demandent des miracles, et les Grecs cherchent la sagesse. ²³ Mais pour nous, nous prêchons Christ crucifié, qui est un scandale pour les Juifs, et une folie pour les Grecs. ²⁴ A ceux, dis-je, qui sont appelés tant Juifs que Grecs, nous leur prêchons Christ, la puissance de Dieu, et la sagesse de Dieu. ²⁵ Parce que la folie de Dieu est plus sage que les hommes, et la faiblesse de Dieu est plus forte que les hommes. ²⁶ Car, mes frères, vous voyez votre vocation, que vous n'êtes pas beaucoup de sages selon la chair, ni beaucoup de puissants, ni beaucoup de nobles. ²⁷ Mais Dieu a choisi les choses folles de ce monde, pour rendre confuses les sages; et Dieu a choisi les choses faibles de ce monde, pour rendre confuses les fortes; ²⁸ Et Dieu a choisi les choses viles de ce monde, et les méprisées, même celles qui ne sont point, pour abolir celles qui sont. ²⁹ Afin que nulle chair ne se glorifie devant lui. ³⁰ Or c'est par lui que vous êtes en Jésus-Christ, qui vous a été fait de la part de Dieu sagesse, justice, sanctification, et rédemption; ³¹ Afin que comme il est écrit, celui qui se glorifie, se glorifie au Seigneur.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, appelé à être apôtre de Jésus-Christ par la volonté de Dieu, et le frère Sosthène, ² l'Eglise de Dieu qui est à Corinthe, à ceux qui ont été sanctifiés en Jésus-Christ, appelés à être saints, et à tous ceux qui invoquent en quelque lieu que ce soit le nom de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, leur Seigneur et le nôtre: ³ que la grâce et la paix vous soient données de la part de Dieu notre Père et du Seigneur Jésus-Christ! ⁴ Je rends à mon Dieu de continuelles actions de grâces à votre sujet, pour la grâce de Dieu qui vous a été accordée en Jésus-Christ. ⁵ Car en lui vous avez été comblés de toutes les richesses qui concernent la parole et la connaissance, ⁶ le témoignage de Christ ayant été solidement établi parmi vous, ⁷ de sorte qu'il ne vous manque aucun don, dans l'attente où vous êtes de la manifestation de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ. ⁸ Il vous affermira aussi jusqu'à la fin, pour que vous soyez irréprochables au jour de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ. ⁹ Dieu est fidèle, lui qui vous a appelés à la communion de son Fils, Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur. ¹⁰ Je vous exhorte, frères, par le nom de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, à tenir tous un même langage, et à ne point avoir de divisions parmi vous, mais à être parfaitement unis dans un même esprit et dans un même sentiment. ¹¹ Car, mes frères, j'ai appris à votre sujet, par les gens de Chloé, qu'il y a des disputes au milieu de vous. ¹² Je veux dire que chacun de vous parle ainsi: Moi, je suis de Paul! et moi, d'Apollos! et moi, de Céphas! et moi, de Christ! ¹³ Christ est-il divisé? Paul a-t-il été crucifié pour vous, ou est-ce au nom de Paul que vous avez été baptisés? ¹⁴ Je rends grâces à Dieu de ce que je n'ai baptisé aucun de vous, excepté Crispus et Gaïus, ¹⁵ afin que personne ne dise que vous avez été baptisés en mon nom. ¹⁶ J'ai encore baptisé la famille de Stéphanas; du reste, je ne sache pas que j'aie baptisé quelque autre personne. ¹⁷ Ce n'est pas pour baptiser que Christ m'a envoyé, c'est pour annoncer l'Evangile, et cela sans la sagesse du langage, afin que la croix de Christ ne soit pas rendue vaine. ¹⁸ Car la prédication de la croix est une folie pour ceux qui périssent; mais pour nous qui sommes sauvés, elle est une puissance de Dieu. ¹⁹ Aussi est-il écrit: Je détruirai la sagesse des sages, Et j'anéantirai l'intelligence des intelligents. ²⁰ Où est le sage? où est le scribe? où est le disputeur de ce siècle? Dieu n'a-t-il pas convaincu de folie la sagesse du monde? ²¹ Car puisque le monde, avec sa sagesse, n'a point connu Dieu dans la sagesse de Dieu, il a plu à Dieu de sauver les croyants par la folie de la prédication. ²² Les Juifs demandent des miracles et les Grecs cherchent la sagesse: ²³ nous, nous prêchons Christ crucifié; scandale pour les Juifs et folie pour les païens, ²⁴ mais puissance de Dieu et sagesse de Dieu pour ceux qui sont appelés, tant Juifs que Grecs. ²⁵ Car la folie de Dieu est plus sage que les hommes, et la faiblesse de Dieu est plus forte que les hommes. ²⁶ Considérez, frères, que parmi vous qui avez été appelés il n'y a ni beaucoup de sages selon la chair, ni beaucoup de puissants, ni beaucoup de nobles. ²⁷ Mais Dieu a choisi les choses folles du monde pour confondre les sages; Dieu a choisi les choses faibles du monde pour confondre les fortes; ²⁸ et Dieu a choisi les choses viles du monde et celles qu'on méprise, celles qui ne sont point, pour réduire à néant celles qui sont, ²⁹ afin que nulle chair ne se glorifie devant Dieu. ³⁰ Or, c'est par lui que vous êtes en Jésus-Christ, lequel, de par Dieu, a été fait pour nous sagesse, justice et sanctification et rédemption, ³¹ afin, comme il est écrit, Que celui qui se glorifie se glorifie dans le Seigneur.

1 G3972 ¶ Paul G2822 , appelé G652 à être apôtre G2424 de Jésus G5547 -Christ G1223 par G2307 la volonté G2316 de Dieu G2532 , et G80 le frère G4988 Sosthène,

2 G1577 à l’Eglise G2316 de Dieu G3588 qui G5607 est G5752 G1722 à G2882 Corinthe G37 , à ceux qui ont été sanctifiés G5772 G1722 en G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ G2822 , appelés G40 à être saints G4862 , et à G3956 tous G1941 ceux qui invoquent G5734 G1722 en G3956 quelque G5117 lieu G3686 que ce soit le nom G2257 de notre G2962 Seigneur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ G5037 , leur G846 G2532 Seigneur et G2257 le nôtre:

3 G5485 que la grâce G2532 et G1515 la paix G5213 vous G575 soient données de la part de G2316 Dieu G2257 notre G3962 Père G2532 et G2962 du Seigneur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ !

4 G2168 Je rends G0 G3450 à mon G2316 Dieu G3842 de continuelles G2168 actions de grâces G5719 G5216 à votre G4012 sujet G1909 , pour G5485 la grâce G2316 de Dieu G3588 qui G5213 vous G1325 a été accordée G5685 G1722 en G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ.

5 G3754 Car G1722 en G846 lui G3956 vous avez été comblés de toutes G4148 les richesses G5681 G1722 G1722 qui concernent la parole G3956 G3056 G2532 et G3956 la connaissance G1108 ,

6 G2531 G3142 le témoignage G5547 de Christ G950 ayant été solidement établi G5681 G1722 parmi G5213 vous,

7 G5620 de sorte qu G5209 ’il ne vous G5302 manque G5745 G1722 aucun G3361 G3367 G5486 don G553 , dans l’attente G5740 G602 où vous êtes de la manifestation G2257 de notre G2962 Seigneur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ.

8 G3739 Il G5209 vous G950 affermira G5692 G2532 aussi G2193 jusqu’à G5056 la fin G410 , pour que vous soyez irréprochables G1722 au G2250 jour G2257 de notre G2962 Seigneur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ.

9 G2316 Dieu G4103 est fidèle G1223 , G3739 lui G2564 qui vous a appelés G5681 G1519 à G2842 la communion G846 de son G5207 Fils G2424 , Jésus G5547 -Christ G2257 notre G2962 Seigneur.

10 G1161 ¶ G5209 Je vous G3870 exhorte G5719 G80 , frères G1223 , par G3686 le nom G2257 de notre G2962 Seigneur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ G2443 , G3956 à tenir tous G846 un même G3004 langage G5725 G2532 , et G3361 à ne point G5600 avoir G5753 G4978 de divisions G1722 parmi G5213 vous G1161 , mais G5600 à être G5753 G2675 parfaitement unis G5772 G1722 dans G846 un même G3563 esprit G2532 et G1722 dans G846 un même G1106 sentiment.

11 G1063 Car G3450 , mes G80 frères G1213 , j’ai appris G5681 G3427 G4012 à G5216 votre sujet G5259 , par G3588 les gens G5514 de Chloé G3754 , qu G1526 ’il y a G5748 G2054 des disputes G1722 au milieu de G5213 vous.

12 G1161 G3004 Je veux dire G5719 G3754 que G1538 chacun G5216 de vous G3004 parle G5719 G5124 ainsi G1473 : Moi G3303 G1510 , je suis G5748 G3972 de Paul G1161 ! et G1473 moi G625 , d’Apollos G1161 ! et G1473 moi G2786 , de Céphas G1161 ! et G1473 moi G5547 , de Christ !

13 G5547 Christ G3307 est-il divisé G5769 G3361 ? G3972 Paul G4717 a-t-il été crucifié G5681 G5228 pour G5216 vous G2228 , ou G1519 est-ce au G3686 nom G3972 de Paul G907 que vous avez été baptisés G5681 ?

14 G2168 ¶ Je rends grâces G5719 G2316 à Dieu G3754 de ce que G907 je n’ai baptisé G5656 G3762 aucun G5216 de vous G1508 , excepté G2921 Crispus G2532 et G1050 Gaïus,

15 G3363 afin que G5100 personne G2036 ne dise G5632 G3754 que G907 vous avez été baptisés G5656 G1519 en G1699 mon G3686 nom.

16 G1161 G2532 J’ai encore G907 baptisé G5656 G3624 la famille G4734 de Stéphanas G3063 ; du reste G1492 , je ne sache G5758 G3756 pas G907 que j’aie baptisé G5656 G1536 quelque G243 autre personne.

17 G1063 ¶ G3756 Ce n’est pas G907 pour baptiser G5721 G5547 que Christ G3165 m G649 ’a envoyé G5656 G235 , G2097 c’est pour annoncer l’Evangile G5733 G3756 , et cela sans G1722 G4678 la sagesse G3056 du langage G3363 , afin que G4716 la croix G5547 de Christ G2758 ne soit pas rendue vaine G5686 .

18 G1063 Car G3056 la prédication G4716 de la croix G2076 est G5748 G3472 une folie G3303 pour ceux G622 qui périssent G5730 G1161 ; mais G2254 pour nous G4982 qui sommes sauvés G5746 G2076 , elle est G5748 G1411 une puissance G2316 de Dieu.

19 G1063 Aussi G1125 est-il écrit G5769 G622 : Je détruirai G5692 G4678 la sagesse G4680 des sages G2532 , Et G114 j’anéantirai G5692 G4907 l’intelligence G4908 des intelligents.

20 G4226 Où G4680 est le sage G4226 ? où G1122 est le scribe G4226 ? où G4804 est le disputeur G5127 de ce G165 siècle G2316 ? Dieu G3780 n’a-t-il pas G3471 convaincu de folie G5656 G4678 la sagesse G5127 du monde G2889 ?

21 G1063 Car G1894 G2889 puisque le monde G1722 , avec G4678 sa sagesse G3756 , n’a point G1097 connu G5627 G2316 Dieu G1223 dans G4678 la sagesse G2316 de Dieu G2106 , il a plu G5656 G2316 à Dieu G4982 de sauver G5658 G4100 les croyants G5723 G1223 par G3472 la folie G2782 de la prédication.

22 G2532 G1894 G2453 Les Juifs G154 demandent G5719 G4592 des miracles G2532 et G1672 les Grecs G2212 cherchent G5719 G4678 la sagesse:

23 G1161 G2249 nous G2784 , nous prêchons G5719 G5547 Christ G4717 crucifié G5772 G3303 ; scandale G4625 G2453 pour les Juifs G1161 et G3472 folie G1672 pour les païens,

24 G1161 mais G5547 G1411 puissance G2316 de Dieu G2532 et G4678 sagesse G2316 de Dieu G846 pour ceux G3588 qui G2822 sont appelés G5037 , tant G2453 Juifs G2532 que G1672 Grecs.

25 G3754 Car G3474 la folie G2316 de Dieu G2076 est G5748 G4680 plus sage G444 que les hommes G2532 , et G772 la faiblesse G2316 de Dieu G2076 est G5748 G2478 plus forte que G444 les hommes.

26 G1063 G991 Considérez G5719 G80 , frères G3754 , que G5216 parmi vous G2821 qui avez été appelés G3756 il n’y a ni G4183 beaucoup G4680 de sages G2596 selon G4561 la chair G3756 , ni G4183 beaucoup G1415 de puissants G3756 , ni G4183 beaucoup G2104 de nobles.

27 G235 Mais G2316 Dieu G1586 a choisi G5668 G3474 les choses folles G2889 du monde G2443 pour G2617 confondre G5725 G4680 les sages G2532 ; G2316 Dieu G1586 a choisi G5668 G772 les choses faibles G2889 du monde G2443 pour G2617 confondre G5725 G2478 les fortes ;

28 G2532 et G2316 Dieu G1586 a choisi G5668 G36 les choses viles G2889 du monde G2532 et G1848 celles qu’on méprise G5772 G2532 , G3588 celles qui G5607 ne sont G5752 G3361 point G2443 , pour G2673 réduire à néant G5661 G5607 celles qui sont G5752 ,

29 G3704 afin que G3361 nulle G3956 G4561 chair G2744 ne se glorifie G5667 G1799 devant G846 Dieu.

30 G1161 Or G1537 , c’est par G846 lui G5210 que vous G2075 êtes G5748 G1722 en G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ G3739 , lequel G575 , de par G2316 Dieu G1096 , a été fait G5675 G2254 pour nous G5037 G4678 sagesse G2532 , G1343 justice G2532 et G38 sanctification G2532 et G629 rédemption,

31 G2443 afin G2531 , comme G1125 il est écrit G5769 G2744 , Que celui qui se glorifie G5740 G2744 se glorifie G5737 G1722 dans G2962 le Seigneur.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pali, i thirrur apostull i Jezu Krishtit, me anë të vullnetit të Perëndisë, dhe vëllai Sosten, ² kishës së Perëndisë që është në Korint, të shenjtëruarve në Krishtin Jezus, të thirrur shenjtorë, bashkë me të gjithë ata që në çdo vend e thërrasin emrin e Jezu Krishtit, Zotit të tyre dhe tonit: ³ hir dhe paqe për ju nga Perëndia, Ati ynë, dhe nga Zoti Jezu Krisht. ⁴ Përherë i falem nderit Perëndisë tim për ju, për hirin e Perëndisë, i cili ju është dhënë me anë të Jezu Krishtit, ⁵ sepse në atë ju u bëtë të pasur në të gjitha, në çdo fjalë dhe në çdo njohuri, ⁶ sikurse dëshmimi i Krishtit që u vërtetua ndër ju, ⁷ kaq sa nuk ju mungon asnjë dhunti, ndërsa prisni zbulesën e Zotit tonë Jezu Krishtit, ⁸ i cili edhe do t'ju vërtetojë deri në fund, që të jeni të paqortueshëm në ditën e Zotit tonë Jezu Krishtit. ⁹ Besnik është Perëndia, nga i cili jeni thirrur në bashkësinë e Birit të tij Jezu Krishtit, Zotit tonë. ¹⁰ Tani vëllezër, ju bëj thirrje në emër të Zotit tonë Jezu Krishtit të flisni që të gjithë të njëjtën gjë dhe të mos keni ndasi midis jush, por të jeni plotësisht të bashkuar, duke pasur një mendje dhe një vullnet. ¹¹ Sepse më është treguar për ju, o vë-llezër, nga ata të shtëpisë së Kloes, se në mes jush ka grindje. ¹² Dhe dua të them këtë, që secili nga ju thotë: ''Unë jam i Palit'', ''unë i Apolit'', ''unë i Kefës'' dhe ''unë i Krishtit''. ¹³ Vallë i ndarë qenka Krishti? Mos Pali u kryqëzua për ju? Apo ju u pagëzuat në emër të Palit? ¹⁴ E falënderoj Perëndinë që nuk kam pagëzuar asnjë nga ju, me përjashtim të Krispit dhe të Gait, ¹⁵ që askush të mos thotë se e pagëzova në emrin tim. ¹⁶ Unë pagëzova edhe familjen e Stefanës; përveç tyre nuk di të kem pagëzuar ndonjë tjetër. ¹⁷ Sepse Krishti nuk më dërgoi të pagëzoj, por të predikoj ungjillin, jo me dituri fjale, që kryqi i Krishtit të mos dalë i kotë. ¹⁸ Sepse mesazhi i kryqit është marrëzi për ata që humbin, por për ne që shpëtohemi është fuqia e Perëndisë. ¹⁹ Sepse është shkruar: ''Do të bëj të humbasë dituria e të diturve, dhe do ta asgjësoj zgjuarësinë e të zgjuarve''. ²⁰ Ku është i dituri? Ku është skribi? Ku është debatuesi i kësaj epoke? A nuk e bëri të marrë Perëndia diturinë e kësaj bote? ²¹ Sepse, duke qenë se nëpërmjet diturisë së Perëndisë bota nuk e njohu Perëndinë me urtinë e vet, Perëndisë i pëlqeu të shpëtojë ata që besojnë nëpërmjet marrëzisë së predikimit, ²² sepse Judenjtë kërkojnë një shenjë dhe Grekët kërkojnë dituri, ²³ por ne predikojmë Krishtin të kryqëzuar, skandal për Judenjtë dhe marrëzi për Grekët, ²⁴ kurse për ata që janë të thirrur, qofshin Judenj ose Grekë, predikojmë Krishtin, fuqia e Perëndisë dhe diturinë e Perëndisë; ²⁵ sepse marrëzia e Perëndisë është më e ditur se njerëzit dhe dobësia e Perëndisë më e fortë se njerëzit. ²⁶ Shikoni në fakt thirrjen tuaj, vëllezër, sepse ndër ju ka jo shumë të ditur sipas mishit, jo shumë të fuqishëm, jo shumë fisnikë, ²⁷ por Perëndia ka zgjedhur gjërat e marra të botës për të turpëruar të urtët; dhe Perëndia ka zgjedhur gjërat e dobëta të botës për të turpëruar të fortët; ²⁸ dhe Perëndia ka zgjedhur gjërat jo fisnike të botës dhe gjërat e përçmuara, edhe gjërat që nuk janë, për të asgjësuar ato që janë, ²⁹ që asnjë mish të mos mburret përpara tij. ³⁰ Por prej tij ju jeni në Krishtin Jezus, i cili nga Perëndia u bë për ne dituri, drejtësi, shenjtërim dhe shpengim, ³¹ që, sikurse është shkruar: ''Ai që mburret, le të mburret në Zotin''.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Павел, волею Божиею призванный Апостол Иисуса Христа, и Сосфен брат, ² церкви Божией, находящейся в Коринфе, освященным воХристе Иисусе, призванным святым, со всеми призывающими имя Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, во всяком месте, у них и у нас: ³ благодать вам и мир от Бога Отца нашего и Господа Иисуса Христа. ⁴ Непрестанно благодарю Бога моего за вас, ради благодати Божией, дарованной вам во Христе Иисусе, ⁵ потому что в Нем вы обогатились всем, всяким словом и всяким познанием, – ⁶ ибо свидетельство Христово утвердилось в вас, – ⁷ так что вы не имеете недостатка ни в каком даровании, ожидая явления Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, ⁸ Который и утвердит вас до конца, чтобы вам быть неповинными в день Господа нашего Иисуса Христа. ⁹ Верен Бог, Которым вы призваны в общение Сына Его Иисуса Христа, Господа нашего. ¹⁰ Умоляю вас, братия, именем Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, чтобы все вы говорили одно, и не было между вами разделений, но чтобы вы соединены были в одном духеи в одних мыслях. ¹¹ Ибо от домашних Хлоиных сделалось мне известным о вас, братия мои, что между вами есть споры. ¹² Я разумею то, что у вас говорят: „я Павлов"; „я Аполлосов"; „я Кифин"; „а я Христов". ¹³ Разве разделился Христос? разве Павел распялся за вас? или во имя Павла вы крестились? ¹⁴ Благодарю Бога, что я никого из вас не крестил, кроме Криспа и Гаия, ¹⁵ дабы не сказал кто, что я крестил в мое имя. ¹⁶ Крестил я также Стефанов дом; а крестил ли еще кого, не знаю. ¹⁷ Ибо Христос послал меня не крестить, а благовествовать, не в премудрости слова, чтобы не упразднить креста Христова. ¹⁸ Ибо слово о кресте для погибающих юродство есть, а для нас, спасаемых, – сила Божия. ¹⁹ Ибо написано: погублю мудрость мудрецов, и разумразумных отвергну. ²⁰ Где мудрец? где книжник? где совопросник века сего? Не обратил ли Бог мудрость мира сего в безумие? ²¹ Ибо когда мир своею мудростью не познал Бога в премудрости Божией, то благоугодно было Богу юродством проповеди спасти верующих. ²² Ибо и Иудеи требуют чудес, и Еллины ищут мудрости; ²³ а мы проповедуем Христа распятого, для Иудеев соблазн, а для Еллинов безумие, ²⁴ для самих же призванных, Иудеев и Еллинов, Христа, Божию силу и Божию премудрость; ²⁵ потому что немудрое Божие премудрее человеков, и немощное Божие сильнее человеков. ²⁶ Посмотрите, братия, кто вы, призванные: не много из вас мудрых по плоти, не много сильных, не много благородных; ²⁷ но Бог избрал немудрое мира, чтобы посрамить мудрых, и немощное мира избрал Бог, чтобы посрамить сильное; ²⁸ и незнатное мира и уничиженное и ничего не значащее избрал Бог, чтобы упразднить значащее, – ²⁹ для того, чтобы никакая плоть не хвалилась пред Богом. ³⁰ От Него и вы во Христе Иисусе, Который сделался для нас премудростью от Бога, праведностью и освящением и искуплением, ³¹ чтобы было , как написано: хвалящийся хвались Господом.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ بولس المدعو رسولا ليسوع المسيح بمشيئة الله وسوستانيس الاخ ² الى كنيسة الله التي في كورنثوس المقدسين في المسيح يسوع المدعوين قديسين مع جميع الذين يدعون باسم ربنا يسوع المسيح في كل مكان لهم ولنا. ³ نعمة لكم وسلام من الله ابينا والرب يسوع المسيح ⁴ اشكر الهي في كل حين من جهتكم على نعمة الله المعطاة لكم في يسوع المسيح ⁵ انكم في كل شيء استغنيتم فيه في كل كلمة وكل علم ⁶ كما ثبتت فيكم شهادة المسيح ⁷ حتى انكم لستم ناقصين في موهبة ما وانتم متوقعون استعلان ربنا يسوع المسيح ⁸ الذي سيثبتكم ايضا الى النهاية بلا لوم في يوم ربنا يسوع المسيح. ⁹ امين هو الله الذي به دعيتم الى شركة ابنه يسوع المسيح ربنا ¹⁰ ولكنني اطلب اليكم ايها الاخوة باسم ربنا يسوع المسيح ان تقولوا جميعكم قولا واحدا ولا يكون بينكم انشقاقات بل كونوا كاملين في فكر واحد ورأي واحد. ¹¹ لاني أخبرت عنكم يا اخوتي من اهل خلوي ان بينكم خصومات. ¹² فانا اعني هذا ان كل واحد منكم يقول انا لبولس وانا لأبلوس وانا لصفا وانا للمسيح. ¹³ هل انقسم المسيح. ألعل بولس صلب لاجلكم. ام باسم بولس اعتمدتم. ¹⁴ اشكر الله اني لم اعمد احدا منكم الا كريسبس وغايس ¹⁵ حتى لا يقول احد اني عمدت باسمي. ¹⁶ وعمدت ايضا بيت استفانوس. عدا ذلك لست اعلم هل عمدت احدا آخر. ¹⁷ لان المسيح لم يرسلني لاعمد بل لابشر. لا بحكمة كلام لئلا يتعطل صليب المسيح. ¹⁸ فان كلمة الصليب عند الهالكين جهالة واما عندنا نحن المخلّصين فهي قوة الله. ¹⁹ لانه مكتوب سأبيد حكمة الحكماء وارفض فهم الفهماء. ²⁰ اين الحكيم. اين الكاتب. اين مباحث هذا الدهر. ألم يجهّل الله حكمة هذا العالم. ²¹ لانه اذ كان العالم في حكمة الله لم يعرف الله بالحكمة استحسن الله ان يخلّص المؤمنين بجهالة الكرازة. ²² لان اليهود يسألون آية واليونانيين يطلبون حكمة. ²³ ولكننا نحن نكرز بالمسيح مصلوبا لليهود عثرة ولليونانيين جهالة. ²⁴ واما للمدعوين يهودا ويونانيين فبالمسيح قوة الله وحكمة الله. ²⁵ لان جهالة الله احكم من الناس. وضعف الله اقوى من الناس ²⁶ فانظروا دعوتكم ايها الاخوة ان ليس كثيرون حكماء حسب الجسد ليس كثيرون اقوياء ليس كثيرون شرفاء ²⁷ بل اختار الله جهال العالم ليخزي الحكماء. واختار الله ضعفاء العالم ليخزي الاقوياء. ²⁸ واختار الله ادنياء العالم والمزدرى وغير الموجود ليبطل الموجود ²⁹ لكي لا يفتخر كل ذي جسد امامه. ³⁰ ومنه انتم بالمسيح يسوع الذي صار لنا حكمة من الله وبرا وقداسة وفداء. ³¹ حتى كما هو مكتوب من افتخر فليفتخر بالرب

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Павел, с Божията воля призован да бъде апостол на Иисус Христос, и брат Состен, ² до Божията църква, която е в Коринт, до осветените в Христос Иисус, призованите светии, заедно с всички, които призовават на всяко място Името на Иисус Христос, нашия Господ, който е и техен, и наш: ³ Благодат и мир да бъде на вас от Бога, нашия Отец, и от Господ Иисус Христос. ⁴ Винаги благодаря на моя Бог заради вас за Божията благодат, която ви е дадена в Христос Иисус; ⁵ че в Него се обогатихте във всичко — във всяко слово и всяко познание, ⁶ както се утвърди у вас Христовото свидетелство, ⁷ така че не ви липсва нито една дарба, като чакате явяването на нашия Господ Иисус Христос, ⁸ който и до края ще ви утвърждава, за да бъдете безупречни в Деня на нашия Господ Иисус Христос. ⁹ Верен е Бог, чрез когото бяхте призовани в общение с Неговия Син Иисус Христос, нашия Господ. ¹⁰ Сега аз ви умолявам, братя, чрез Името на нашия Господ Иисус Христос, всички да говорите в съгласие и да няма разцепления между вас, а да бъдете съединени в един и същ ум и в едно и също мнение. ¹¹ Защото някои от Хлоините домашни ми казаха за вас, братя мои, че между вас имало разпри. ¹² Искам да кажа, че всеки от вас казва: Аз съм Павлов; А аз — Аполосов; А аз — Кифов; А пък аз — Христов. ¹³ Нима Христос се е разделил? Нима Павел беше разпънат за вас? Или се кръстихте в името на Павел? ¹⁴ Благодаря на Бога, че не съм кръстил никого от вас освен Крисп и Гай, ¹⁵ за да не каже никой, че сте били кръстени в моето име. ¹⁶ Кръстих още и Стефаниновия дом. Освен тях не помня да съм кръстил някой друг. ¹⁷ Защото Христос не ме е пратил да кръщавам, а да проповядвам благовестието — не с мъдростта на думите, за да не би кръстът на Христос да се лиши от значението си. ¹⁸ Защото словото на кръста е безумие за тези, които погиват; но за нас, които биваме спасени, то е Божия сила. ¹⁹ Понеже е писано: "Ще унищожа мъдростта на мъдрите и разума на разумните ще отхвърля." ²⁰ Къде е мъдрият? Къде Е книжникът? Къде е защитникът на този свят? Не обърна ли Бог в глупост светската мъдрост? ²¹ Защото, понеже в Божията мъдрост светът не позна Бога чрез мъдрост, Бог благоволи чрез глупостта на това, което се проповядва, да спаси вярващите. ²² Понеже юдеите искат знамение, а гърците търсят мъдрост; ²³ но ние проповядваме разпънатия Христос: за юдеите — препънка, а за езичниците — глупост, ²⁴ но за самите призвани — и юдеи, и гърци — Христос, Божия сила и Божия мъдрост. ²⁵ Защото Божието глупаво е по-мъдро от хората и Божията немощ — по-силна от хората. ²⁶ Понеже, братя, виждате какви сте вие призваните — че между вас няма мнозина мъдри по плът, нито мнозина могъщи, нито мнозина благородни. ²⁷ Но Бог избра глупавите неща на света, за да посрами мъдрите; и Бог избра слабите неща на света, за да посрами силните; ²⁸ още и долните и презрените неща на света избра Бог; и онези неща, които не са, за да унищожи тези, които са, ²⁹ за да не се похвали никое създание пред Бога. ³⁰ А вие сте от Него в Христос Иисус, който стана за нас мъдрост от Бога и правда, и освещение, и изкупление; ³¹ така че, както е писано: "който се хвали, с Господа да се хвали."

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pavao, po Božjoj volji pozvan za apostola Krista Isusa, i brat Sosten ² Crkvi Božjoj u Korintu - posvećenima u Kristu Isusu, pozvanicima, svetima, sa svima što na bilo kojemu mjestu prizivlju ime Isusa Krista, Gospodina našega, njihova i našega. ³ Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista! ⁴ Zahvaljujem Bogu svojemu svagda za vas zbog milosti Božje koja vam je dana u Kristu Isusu: ⁵ u njemu se obogatiste u svemu - u svakoj riječi i svakom spoznanju. ⁶ Kako li se svjedočanstvo o Kristu utvrdilo u vama ⁷ te ne oskudijevate ni na jednom daru čekajući Objavljenje Gospodina našega Isusa Krista! ⁸ On će vas učiniti i postojanima do kraja, besprigovornima u Dan Gospodina našega Isusa Krista. ⁹ Vjeran je Bog koji vas pozva u zajedništvo Sina svojega Isusa Krista, Gospodina našega. ¹⁰ Zaklinjem vas, braćo, imenom Gospodina našega Isusa Krista: svi budite iste misli; neka ne bude među vama razdora, nego budite savršeno istog osjećanja i istog mišljenja. ¹¹ Jer Klojini mi, braćo moja, o vama rekoše da među vama ima svađa. ¹² Mislim to što svaki od vas govori: "Ja sam Pavlov", "A ja Apolonov", "A ja Kefin", "A ja Kristov". ¹³ Zar je Krist razdijeljen? Zar je Pavao raspet za vas? Ili ste u Pavlovo ime kršteni? ¹⁴ Hvala Bogu što ne krstih nikoga od vas, osim Krispa i Gaja; ¹⁵ da ne bi tko rekao da ste u moje ime kršteni. ¹⁶ A da, krstih i Stefanin dom. Inače ne znam krstih li koga drugoga. ¹⁷ Jer ne posla me Krist krstiti, nego navješćivati evanđelje, i to ne mudrošću besjede, da se ne obeskrijepi križ Kristov. ¹⁸ Uistinu, besjeda o križu ludost je onima koji propadaju, a nama spašenicima sila je Božja. ¹⁹ Ta pisano je: Upropastit ću mudrost mudrih, i odbacit ću umnost umnih. ²⁰ Gdje je mudrac? Gdje je književnik? Gdje je istraživač ovoga svijeta? Zar ne izludi Bog mudrost svijeta? ²¹ Doista, kad svijet u mudrosti Božjoj Boga ne upozna mudrošću, svidjelo se Bogu ludošću propovijedanja spasiti vjernike. ²² Jer i Židovi znake ištu i Grci mudrost traže, ²³ a mi propovijedamo Krista raspetoga: Židovima sablazan, poganima ludost, ²⁴ pozvanima pak - i Židovima i Grcima - Krista, Božju snagu i Božju mudrost. ²⁵ Jer ludo Božje mudrije je od ljudi i slabo Božje jače je od ljudi. ²⁶ Ta gledajte, braćo, sebe, pozvane: nema mnogo mudrih po tijelu, nema mnogo snažnih, nema mnogo plemenitih. ²⁷ Nego lude svijeta izabra Bog da posrami mudre, i slabe svijeta izabra Bog da posrami jake; ²⁸ i neplemenite svijeta i prezrene izabra Bog, i ono što nije, da uništi ono što jest, ²⁹ da se nijedan smrtnik ne bi hvalio pred Bogom. ³⁰ Od njega je da vi jeste u Kristu Isusu, koji nama posta mudrost od Boga, i pravednost, i posvećenje, i otkupljenje, ³¹ da bude kako je pisano: Tko se hvali, u Gospodu neka se hvali.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pavel, povolaný apoštol Ježíše Krista, skrze vůli Boží, a bratr Sostenes, ² Církvi Boží, kteráž jest v Korintu, posvěceným v Kristu Ježíši, povolaným svatým, spolu se všemi, kteříž vzývají jméno Pána našeho Jezukrista na všelikém místě, i jejich i našem: ³ Milost vám a pokoj od Boha Otce našeho a Pána Jezukrista. ⁴ Děkuji Bohu svému vždycky za vás pro tu milost Boží, kteráž dána jest vám v Kristu Ježíši, ⁵ Že ve všem obohaceni jste v něm, v každém slovu a ve všelikém umění, ⁶ Jakož svědectví Kristovo upevněno jest mezi vámi, ⁷ Takže nemáte žádného nedostatku ve všeliké milosti, očekávajíce zjevení Pána našeho Jezukrista, ⁸ Kterýžto i utvrdí vás až do konce bez úhony ke dni příští Pána našeho Jezukrista. ⁹ Věrnýť jest Bůh, skrze něhož povoláni jste k účastenství Syna jeho Jezukrista, Pána našeho. ¹⁰ Prosímť vás pak, bratří, skrze jméno Pána našeho Jezukrista, abyste jednostejně mluvili všickni a aby nebylo mezi vámi roztržek, ale buďte spojeni jednostejnou myslí a jednostejným smyslem. ¹¹ Nebo oznámeno jest mi o vás, bratří moji, od některých z čeledi Chloe, že by mezi vámi byly různice. ¹² Míním pak toto, že jeden každý z vás říká: Já jsem Pavlův, já Apollův, já Petrův, já pak Kristův. ¹³ Zdali rozdělen jest Kristus? Zdali Pavel ukřižován jest za vás? Anebo zdali jste ve jménu Pavlovu pokřtěni byli? ¹⁴ Děkuji Bohu, že jsem žádného z vás nekřtil, než Krispa a Gáia, ¹⁵ Aby někdo neřekl, že jsem ve jméno své křtil. ¹⁶ Křtilť jsem také i Štěpánovu čeled. Více nevím, abych koho jiného křtil. ¹⁷ Nebo neposlal mne Kristus křtíti, ale evangelium kázati, ne v moudrosti řeči, aby nebyl vyprázdněn kříž Kristův. ¹⁸ Nebo slovo kříže těm, kteříž hynou, bláznovstvím jest, ale nám, kteříž spasení dosahujeme, moc Boží jest. ¹⁹ Nebo psáno jest: Zahladím moudrost moudrých, a opatrnost opatrných zavrhu. ²⁰ Kde jest moudrý? A kde učený? A kde chytrák tohoto světa? Zdaliž Bůh neobrátil moudrosti tohoto světa v bláznovství? ²¹ Nebo když v moudrosti Boží svět nepoznal skrze moudrost Boha, zalíbilo se Bohu skrze bláznové kázaní spasiti věřící, ²² Poněvadž i Židé zázraků žádají, i Řekové hledají moudrosti. ²³ Myť pak kážeme Krista ukřižovaného, Židům zajisté pohoršení, a Řekům bláznovství, ²⁴ Ale povolaným, i Židům i Řekům, Krista, Boží moc a Boží moudrost. ²⁵ Nebo to bláznovství Boží jest moudřejší nežli lidé a mdloba Boží jest silnější než lidé. ²⁶ Vidíte zajisté povolání vaše, bratří, že nemnozí moudří podle těla, nemnozí mocní, nemnozí urození; ²⁷ Ale což bláznivého jest u světa, to sobě vyvolil Bůh, aby zahanbil moudré, a to, což jest u světa mdlé, Bůh vyvolil, aby zahanbil silné. ²⁸ A neurozené u světa a za nic položené vyvolil Bůh, ano hned, kteréž nejsou, aby ty věci, kteréž jsou, zkazil, ²⁹ Proto aby se nechlubilo před obličejem jeho žádné tělo. ³⁰ Vy pak jste z něho v Kristu Ježíši, kterýž učiněn jest nám moudrost od Boha, i spravedlnost, i posvěcení, i #vykoupení, ³¹ Aby se tak dálo, jakož jest napsáno: Kdo se chlubí, v Pánu se chlub.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paulus' kaldet til Jesu Christi Apostel ved Guds Villie, og Broderen Softhenes, ² til Guds Menighed, som er i Corinth, de Helligede i Christus Jesus, de kaldte Hellige, med alle dem, som paa ethvert Sted paakaldte vor Herres Jesu Christi, deres og vor Herres, Navn: ³ Naade være med Eder og Fred, fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Christus! ⁴ Jeg takker min Gud altid for Eder, for den Guds Naade, som er given Eder i Christus Jesus, ⁵ at I ved ham ere gjort rige i Alt i al lære og al kundskab, ⁶ ligesom og det Vidnesbyrd om Christus er bleven befæstet hos Eder, ⁷ saa at Eder ikke fattes paa nogen Naadegaven idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Christi Aabenbarelse, ⁸ som og skal stadfæste Eder indtil Enden, usraffelige paa vor Herres Jesu Christi Dag. ⁹ Gud er trofast, ved hvem I ere kaldte til hans Søns, Jesu Christi, vor Herres Samfund. ¹⁰ Men jeg formaner Eder, Brødre! ved vor Herres Jesu Christi Navn, at I alle føre den samme Tale, og at der ikke maa findes Splidagtigheder ibland Eder, men at I skulle være forenede i det samme Sind og i den samme Mening. ¹¹ Thi mig er tilkjendegivet om Eder, mine Brødre! af Chloes Huusfolk, at der er Trætter iblandt Eder. ¹² Jeg mener nemlig, at enhver af Eder siger: jeg er Paulus', eller: jeg er Apollos', eller: jeg er Kephas, eller jeg er Christi. ¹³ Er de Christus deelt? mon Paulus være korsfæstet for Eder? eller ere I døbte til Paulus' Navn? ¹⁴ Jeg takker Gud, at jeg ingen af Eder har døvt, uden Crispus og Cajus, ¹⁵ paa det ikke Nogen skal sige, at jeg har døbt til mit Navn. ¹⁶ Dog døbte jeg ogsaa Stephanas' Huusfolk; ellers veed jeg ikke, at jeg har døbt nogen Anden. ¹⁷ Thi Christus sendte mig ikke for at døbe, men for at prædike Evangelium, ikke med vise Ord, at Christi Kors ikke skulde tabe sin Kraft. ¹⁸ Thi det Korsets Ord er vel dem en Daarlighed, som blive fortabte, men os, som blive salige, er det en Guds Kraft. ¹⁹ Thi der er skrevet: jeg vil forkaste de Vises Viisdom og tilintetgjøre de ForstandigesForstand. ²⁰ Hvor ere de Vise? hvor de Skriftkloge? hvor denne Verdens Grandskere? har Gud ikke gjort denne Verdens Viisdom til Daarlighed? ²¹ Thi efterdi Verden for idel Viisdom ikke erkjendte Gud i hans Viisdom, da behagede det Gud formedelst denne Prædikens Daarlighed at gjøre den salige, som troe. ²² Saasom baade Jøderne æske Tegn, og Grækerne søge Viisdom; ²³ men vi prædike den korsfæstede Christus, som er Jøderne en Forargelse og Grækerne en Daarlighed; ²⁴ men de, som ere kaldte, baade Jøder og Græker, prædike vi Christus, Guds Kraft og Guds Viisdom. ²⁵ Thi det Daarlige fra Gud er visere end Menneskenes Viisdom, og det Skrøbelige fra Gud er stærkere end Menneskenes Styrke. ²⁶ Betrager, Brødre! hvo I ere som bleve kaldte: ikke mange Vise efter Kjødet, ikke mange Mægtige, ikke mange fornemme; ²⁷ men det for Verden Daarlige udvalgte Gud, for at beskæmme de Vise, og det for Verden Skrøbelige udvalgte Gud, for at beskæmme de Stærke; ²⁸ og det for Verden Uædle og det Ringeagtede udvalgte Gud, og det, som Intet var, for at tilintetgjøre det, som var Noget; ²⁹ paa det intet Kjød skal rose sig for ham. ³⁰ Men ved ham ere I udi Christus Jesus, hvilken er bleven os Viisdom fra Gud, og Retfærdighed, og Helliggjørelse, og Forløsning; ³¹ saa at, som skrevet er: hvo sig roser, rose sig i Herren.

3 G5485 願恩惠 G1515 、平安 G575 從 G2316 神 G2257 我們的 G3962 父 G2532 並 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G5213 歸與你們。

4 G3842 我常 G5216 為你們 G2168 感謝 G3450 我的 G2316 神 G1909 ，因 G2316 神 G1722 在 G5547 基督 G2424 耶穌 G3588 裡 G4012 所 G1325 賜給 G5213 你們 G5485 的恩惠；

5 G3754 又因 G1722 你們在 G846 他 G1722 裡面 G3956 凡事 G4148 富足 G3056 ，口才 G1108 、知識 G3956 都全備，

6 G2531 正如 G5547 我為基督 G3142 作的見證 G1722 ，在 G5213 你們 G950 心裡得以堅固，

7 G5620 以致 G5209 你們 G5486 在恩賜 G1722 上 G3361 G3367 沒有 G5302 一樣不及 G553 人的，等候 G2257 我們的 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G602 顯現。

8 G2532 他也 G950 必堅固 G5209 你們 G2193 到 G5056 底 G1722 ，叫你們在 G2257 我們 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G2250 的日子 G410 無可責備。

9 G2316 神 G4103 是信實 G1223 的，你們原是被 G2564 他所召 G1519 ，好與 G846 他 G5207 兒子 G2257 ─我們的 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G2842 一同得分。

10 G80 弟兄們 G1223 ，我藉 G2257 我們 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G3686 的名 G3870 勸 G5209 你們 G3956 都 G3004 說 G846 一樣的話 G5213 。你們 G1722 中間 G2532 也 G3361 不 G5600 可 G4978 分黨 G1161 ，只 G5600 要 G846 一 G3563 心 G846 一 G1106 意 G2675 ，彼此相合。

11 G1063 因為 G5514 革來氏 G3588 家 G3427 裡的人曾對我 G1213 題 G4012 起 G80 弟兄們 G3754 來，說 G5213 你們 G1722 中間 G1526 有 G2054 紛爭。

12 G3004 我的意思 G3754 就是 G5216 你們 G1538 各人 G3004 說 G1473 ：我 G1510 是 G3972 屬保羅 G1473 的；我 G625 是屬亞波羅 G1473 的；我 G2786 是屬磯法 G1473 的；我 G5547 是屬基督的。

13 G5547 基督 G3307 是分開 G3972 的麼？保羅 G5228 為 G5216 你們 G4717 釘了十字架 G1519 麼？你們是奉 G3972 保羅 G3686 的名 G907 受了洗麼？

14 G2168 我感謝 G2316 神 G1508 ，除了 G2921 基利司布 G2532 並 G1050 該猶 G5216 以外，我沒有給你們 G3762 一個人 G907 施洗；

15 G3363 免得 G5100 有人 G2036 說 G3754 ，你們是 G1519 奉 G1519 我的 G3686 名 G907 受洗。

16 G2532 我也 G4734 給司提反 G3624 家 G907 施過洗 G3063 ，此外 G1536 給別 G243 人 G907 施洗 G1492 沒有，我卻記 G3756 不清。

17 G5547 基督 G649 差遣 G3165 我 G3756 ，原不 G907 是為施洗 G235 ，乃是 G2097 為傳福音 G3756 ，並不 G1722 用 G4678 智慧 G3056 的言語 G3363 ，免得 G5547 基督 G4716 的十字架 G2758 落了空。

18 G1063 因為 G4716 十字架 G3056 的道理 G622 ，在那滅亡 G2076 的人為 G3472 愚拙 G2254 ；在我們 G4982 得救 G1161 的人，卻 G2076 為 G2316 神 G1411 的大能。

19 G1063 就如 G1125 經上所記 G622 ：我要滅絕 G4680 智慧人 G4678 的智慧 G114 ，廢棄 G4908 聰明人 G4907 的聰明。

20 G4680 智慧人 G4226 在那裡 G1122 ？文士 G4226 在那裡 G5127 ？這 G165 世 G4804 上的辯士 G4226 在那裡 G2316 ？神 G3780 豈不 G5127 是叫這 G2889 世 G4678 上的智慧 G3471 變成愚拙麼？

21 G2889 世 G1223 人憑 G4678 自己的智慧 G3756 ，既不 G1097 認識 G2316 神 G2316 ，神 G2106 就樂意 G1223 用 G3472 人所當作愚拙 G2782 的道理 G4982 ，拯救 G4100 那些信 G1894 的人；這 G1063 就 G1722 是 G2316 神 G4678 的智慧了。

22 G2453 猶太人 G154 是要 G4592 神蹟 G1672 ，希臘人 G2212 是求 G4678 智慧，

23 G2249 我們 G1161 卻 G2784 是傳 G4717 釘十字架 G5547 的基督 G2453 ，在猶太人 G3303 為 G4625 絆腳石 G1672 ，在外邦人 G3472 為愚拙；

24 G1161 但 G3588 在那 G2822 蒙召 G2453 的，無論是猶太人 G1672 、希臘人 G5547 ，基督 G2316 總為神 G1411 的能力 G2316 ，神 G4678 的智慧。

25 G3754 因 G2316 神 G3474 的愚拙 G2076 總 G444 比人 G4680 智慧 G2532 ， G2316 神 G772 的軟弱 G2076 總 G444 比人 G2478 強壯。

26 G80 弟兄們 G1063 哪，可 G5216 見 G5216 你們 G2821 蒙召 G2596 的，按著 G4561 肉體 G4680 有智慧 G3756 的不 G4183 多 G1415 ，有能力 G3756 的不 G4183 多 G2104 ，有尊貴 G3756 的也不 G4183 多。

27 G2316 神 G235 卻 G1586 揀選了 G2889 世 G3474 上愚拙 G2443 的，叫 G4680 有智慧 G2617 的羞愧 G2532 ；又 G1586 揀選了 G2889 世 G772 上軟弱 G2443 的，叫 G2478 那強壯 G2617 的羞愧。

28 G2316 神 G2532 也 G1586 揀選了 G2889 世 G36 上卑賤 G2532 的， G1848 被人厭惡 G2532 的，以及 G3588 那 G3361 無 G5607 有的 G2443 ，為 G2673 要廢掉 G5607 那有的。

29 G3704 使 G3956 一切 G4561 有血氣 G1799 的，在神面前 G3361 一個也不 G2744 能自誇。

30 G1161 但 G5210 你們 G2075 得在 G5547 基督 G2424 耶穌 G1722 裡 G1537 ，是本乎 G2316 神，神 G575 又使 G1096 他成為 G2254 G5037 我們的 G4678 智慧 G1343 、公義 G38 、聖潔 G629 、救贖。

31 G2531 如 G1125 經上所記 G2744 ：誇口的 G2443 ，當 G1722 指著 G2962 主 G2744 誇口。

23 G2249 我们 G1161 却 G2784 是传 G4717 钉十字架 G5547 的基督 G2453 ，在犹太人 G3303 为 G4625 绊脚石 G1672 ，在外邦人 G3472 为愚拙；

24 G1161 但 G3588 在那 G2822 蒙召 G2453 的，无论是犹太人 G1672 、希腊人 G5547 ，基督 G2316 总为神 G1411 的能力 G2316 ，神 G4678 的智慧。

25 G3754 因 G2316 神 G3474 的愚拙 G2076 总 G444 比人 G4680 智慧 G2532 ， G2316 神 G772 的软弱 G2076 总 G444 比人 G2478 强壮。

26 G80 弟兄们 G1063 哪，可 G5216 见 G5216 你们 G2821 蒙召 G2596 的，按着 G4561 肉体 G4680 有智慧 G3756 的不 G4183 多 G1415 ，有能力 G3756 的不 G4183 多 G2104 ，有尊贵 G3756 的也不 G4183 多。

27 G2316 神 G235 却 G1586 拣选了 G2889 世 G3474 上愚拙 G2443 的，叫 G4680 有智慧 G2617 的羞愧 G2532 ；又 G1586 拣选了 G2889 世 G772 上软弱 G2443 的，叫 G2478 那强壮 G2617 的羞愧。

28 G2316 神 G2532 也 G1586 拣选了 G2889 世 G36 上卑贱 G2532 的， G1848 被人厌恶 G2532 的，以及 G3588 那 G3361 无 G5607 有的 G2443 ，为 G2673 要废掉 G5607 那有的。

29 G3704 使 G3956 一切 G4561 有血气 G1799 的，在神面前 G3361 一个也不 G2744 能自夸。

30 G1161 但 G5210 你们 G2075 得在 G5547 基督 G2424 耶稣 G1722 里 G1537 ，是本乎 G2316 神，神 G575 又使 G1096 他成为 G2254 G5037 我们的 G4678 智慧 G1343 、公义 G38 、圣洁 G629 、救赎。

31 G2531 如 G1125 经上所记 G2744 ：夸口的 G2443 ，当 G1722 指着 G2962 主 G2744 夸口。

Estonian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paulus, Jumala tahtel kutsutud Kristuse Jeesuse Apostel, ja vend Soostenes ² Korintoses olevale Jumala kogudusele, pühitsetuile Kristuses Jeesuses, kutsutud pühadele, ühes nende kõikidega, kes appi hüüavad meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse nime kõigis nende ja meie paigus. ³ Armu teile ja rahu Jumalalt, meie Isalt ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt. ⁴ Ma tänan alati oma Jumalat teie pärast selle Jumala armu eest, mis teile on antud Kristuses Jeesuses, ⁵ et te olete kõiges saanud rikkaks Tema sees igasuguses õpetuse sõnas ja igasuguses tunnetuses, ⁶ sedamööda nagu tunnistus Kristusest on kinnitatud teie sees, ⁷ nõnda et teil ei ole puudu ühestki armuandest ja ootate meie Issanda Kristuse ilmumist, ⁸ kes ka teid tahab kinnitada otsani, et te võiksite olla laitmatud meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse päeval. ⁹ Jumal on ustav, kelle läbi te olete kutsutud Tema Poja Jeesuse Kristuse, meie Issanda osadusse. ¹⁰ Aga ma manitsen teid, vennad, meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse nime läbi, et te kõik ühtviisi räägiksite ja et ei oleks lõhesid teie seas, vaid et oleksite kokku liidetud samas meeles ja samas mõttes. ¹¹ Sest ma olen Kloe pererahvalt teist, mu vennad, saanud kuulda, et teie seas on riidlemisi. ¹² Ma räägin sellest, et teie seast igaüks räägib omaviisi; üks: "Mina olen Pauluse poolt!" teine: "Mina olen Apollose poolt!" kolmas: "Mina olen Keefase poolt!" ja neljas: "Mina olen Kristuse poolt!" ¹³ Kas Kristus on jaotatud mitmeks? Kas Paulus löödi risti teie eest? Või ristiti teid Pauluse nimesse? ¹⁴ Ma tänan Jumalat, et ma kedagi muud teie seast ei ole ristinud kui üksnes Krispose ja Gaajuse, ¹⁵ et keegi ei saaks öelda, ma olevat ristinud iseenese nimesse. ¹⁶ Siiski ma ristisin ka Stefanase pere; muud kedagi ma ei tea ristinud olevat. ¹⁷ Sest Kristus ei läkitanud mind ristima, vaid armuõpetust kuulutama, mitte sõna tarkuses, et Kristuse risti ei tehtaks tühiseks. ¹⁸ Sest sõna ristist on jõledus neile, kes hukka lähevad, aga meile, kes päästetakse, on see Jumala vägi. ¹⁹ Sest on kirjutatud: "Mina kaotan tarkade tarkuse ja teen tühjaks mõistlike mõistuse!" ²⁰ Kus on targad? Kus kirjatundjad? Kus selle ajastu arutlejad? Eks Jumal ole selle maailma tarkuse teinud jõleduseks? ²¹ Sest maailm Jumala tarkuses ei õppinud tundma Jumalat tarkuse kaudu ja seepärast oli Jumalale meelepärast jõleda jutluse kaudu päästa need, kes usuvad. ²² Sest juudid nõuavad tunnustähti ja kreeklased otsivad tarkust, ²³ aga meie kuulutame ristilöödud Kristust, Kes on juutidele pahandus ja paganaile jõledus, ²⁴ kuid neile nende seast, kes on kutsutud, niihästi juutidele kui kreeklastele, me kuulutame Kristust, Jumala väge ja Jumala tarkust. ²⁵ Sest mis jõle on Jumala ees, on targem kui inimesed, ja mis nõder on Jumala ees, on vägevam kui inimesed. ²⁶ Vaadake ometi, vennad, oma kutsumist, et mitte palju tarku liha poolest, mitte palju vägevaid, mitte palju suursuguseid, ²⁷ vaid mis on jõle maailma ees, selle on Jumal valinud, et tema teeks häbi tarkadele; ja mis on nõder maailma ees, selle on Jumal valinud, et tema teeks häbi sellele, mis on vägev; ²⁸ ja mis maailma ees on halvast soost ja põlatud, selle on Jumal valinud, selle, mis midagi ei ole, et teha tühjaks seda, mis midagi on, ²⁹ et ükski liha ei kiitleks Jumala ees. ³⁰ Ent temast on teie olemine Kristuses Jeesuses, Kes on saanud meile tarkuseks Jumalalt ja õiguseks ja pühitsuseks ja lunastuseks, ³¹ et oleks nõnda, nagu on kirjutatud: "Kes kiitleb, see kiidelgu Issandast!"

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paavali, kutsuttu Jesuksen Kristuksen apostoliksi Jumalan tahdon kautta, ja Sostenes veli, ² Sille Jumalan seurakunnalle, joka on Korintossa, pyhitetyille Kristuksessa Jesuksessa, kutsutuille pyhille ynnä kaikkein niiden kanssa, jotka meidän Herran Jesuksen Kristuksen nimeä avuksensa huutavat, jokaisessa heidän ja meidän siassamme. ³ Armo olkoon teille ja rauha Jumalalta, meidän isältämme, ja Herralta Jesukselta Kristukselta. ⁴ Minä kiitän Jumalaani aina teidän tähtenne, sen Jumalan armon edestä, joka teille Jesuksessa Kristuksessa annettu on: ⁵ Että te olette kaikissa rikkaaksi tehdyt hänessä, kaikessa opissa ja kaikessa tuntemisessa. ⁶ Sillä todistus Kristuksesta on teissä vahvistettu, ⁷ Niin ettei teiltä jossakussa lahjassa mitään puutu, jotka odotatte meidän Herran Jesuksen Kristuksen ilmoitusta, ⁸ Joka myös teitä loppuun asti vahvistaa, että te olisitte nuhteettomat meidän Herran Jesuksen Kristuksen päivänä. ⁹ Sillä Jumala on uskollinen, jonka kautta te kutsutut olette hänen Poikansa Jesuksen Kristuksen, meidän Herramme yhteyteen. ¹⁰ Mutta minä neuvon teitä, rakkaat veljet, meidän Herran Jesuksen Kristuksen nimen kautta, että te kaikki yhdenkaltaisen puheen pitäisitte, ja ettei teidän seassanne eriseuroja olisi, vaan olkaat sovitetut yhdessä mielessä ja yhdessä neuvossa. ¹¹ Sillä minun korvilleni on tullut teistä, rakkaat veljet, Kloen perheen kautta, että riidat ovat teillä keskenänne. ¹² Niin minä sanon sitä, että kukin teistä sanoo: minä olen Paavalin, minä olen Apollon, minä Kephaan, minä Kristuksen. ¹³ Lieneekö Kristus jaettu, vai onko Paavali teidän edestänne ristiinnaulittu? eli oletteko te Paavalin nimeen kastetut? ¹⁴ Minä kiitän Jumalaa, etten minä ole yhtään teistä kastanut, vaan Krispuksen ja Gajuksen: ¹⁵ Ettei kenkään saa sanoa, että minä minun nimeeni ketään kastin. ¹⁶ Minä kastin myös Stephanaan perheen; sitte en minä tiedä, jos minä jonkun muun kastanut olen. ¹⁷ Sillä ei Kristus minua lähettänyt kastamaan, vaan evankeliumia saarnaamaan, ei sanan viisaudella, ettei Kristuksen risti turhaan menisi. ¹⁸ Sillä se puhe rististä on niille hulluus, jotka kadotetaan; mutta meille, jotka autuaaksi tulemme, on se Jumalan voima. ¹⁹ Sillä kirjoitettu on: minä kadotan viisasten viisauden, ja ymmärtäväisten ymmärryksen minä hylkään. ²⁰ Kussas on viisas? kussas on kirjanoppinut? kussas tämän maailman tutkia on? Eikö Jumala ole tämän maailman viisautta hulluudeksi tehnyt? ²¹ Sillä että Jumalan viisaudessa ei maailma tuntenut Jumalaa viisauden kautta, niin kelpasi Jumalalle tyhmän saarnan kautta niitä vapahtaa, jotka sen uskovat, ²² Sentähden että Juudalaiset merkkiä anovat ja Grekiläiset viisautta etsivät; ²³ Mutta me saarnaamme ristiinnaulitun Kristuksen Juudalaisille pahennukseksi ja Grekiläisille hulluudeksi. ²⁴ Mutta kutsutuille sekä Juudalaisille että Grekiläisille saarnaamme me Kristuksen Jumalan voimaksi ja Jumalan viisaudeksi. ²⁵ Sillä Jumalan hulluus on viisaampi kuin ihmiset, ja Jumalan heikkous on väkevämpi kuin ihmiset. ²⁶ Te näette, rakkaat veljet, teidän kutsumisenne, ettei monta lihallista viisasta, ei monta voimallista, ei myös monta suuresta suvusta, ²⁷ Vaan ne, jotka maailman edessä hullut ovat, on Jumala valinnut, että hän viisaat häpiään saattais; ja ne, jotka heikot ovat maailman edessä, on Jumala valinnut, että hän väkevät häpiään saattais; ²⁸ Ja ne alimmaisesta suvusta ja ylönkatsotut maailmassa on Jumala valinnut, ja ne, jotka ei mitään ole, että hän ne, jotka jotakin ovat, turhaksi tekis; ²⁹ Ettei hänen edessänsä yksikään liha kerskaisi. ³⁰ Mutta te olette hänestä Kristuksessa Jesuksessa, joka meille on Jumalalta tehty viisaudeksi, ja vanhurskaudeksi, ja pyhitykseksi ja lunastukseksi: ³¹ Että niinkuin kirjoitettu on: joka itsiänsä kerskaa, hän kerskatkaan itsiänsä Herrassa.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paavali, Kristuksen Jeesuksen kutsuttu apostoli Jumalan tahdosta, ja veli Soostenes ² Korintossa olevalle Jumalan seurakunnalle, Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa pyhitetyille, jotka ovat kutsutut ja pyhät, ynnä kaikille, jotka avuksi huutavat meidän Herramme Jeesuksen Kristuksen nimeä kaikissa paikkakunnissa, niin omissaan kuin meidänkin. ³ Armo teille ja rauha Jumalalta, meidän Isältämme, ja Herralta Jeesukselta Kristukselta! ⁴ Minä kiitän Jumalaani aina teidän tähtenne siitä Jumalan armosta, joka on annettu teille Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa, ⁵ että kaikessa olette rikastuneet hänessä, kaikessa puheessa ja kaikessa tiedossa, ⁶ sen mukaan kuin todistus Kristuksesta on teissä vahvistettu, ⁷ niin ettei teiltä mitään puutu missään armolahjassa, teidän odottaessanne meidän Herramme Jeesuksen Kristuksen ilmestystä. ⁸ Hän on myös vahvistava teitä loppuun asti, niin että te olette nuhteettomat meidän Herramme Jeesuksen Kristuksen päivänä. ⁹ Jumala on uskollinen, hän, jonka kautta te olette kutsutut hänen Poikansa Jeesuksen Kristuksen, meidän Herramme, yhteyteen. ¹⁰ Mutta minä kehoitan teitä, veljet, meidän Herramme Jeesuksen Kristuksen nimeen, että kaikki olisitte puheessa yksimieliset ettekä suvaitsisi riitaisuuksia keskuudessanne, vaan pysyisitte sovinnossa ja teillä olisi sama mieli ja sama ajatus. ¹¹ Sillä Kloen perheväeltä olen saanut teistä kuulla, veljeni, että teillä on riitoja keskuudessanne. ¹² Tarkoitan sitä, että yksi teistä sanoo: "Minä olen Paavalin puolta", toinen: "Minä Apolloksen", joku taas: "Minä Keefaan", joku vielä: "Minä Kristuksen". ¹³ Onko Kristus jaettu? Ei kaiketi Paavali ole ristiinnaulittu teidän edestänne? Vai oletteko te kastetut Paavalin nimeen? ¹⁴ Minä kiitän Jumalaa, etten ole kastanut teistä ketään muita kuin Krispuksen ja Gaiuksen, ¹⁵ niin ettei kukaan saata sanoa, että te olette minun nimeeni kastetut. ¹⁶ Kastoinhan tosin Stefanaankin perhekunnan; sitten en tiedä, olenko ketään muuta kastanut. ¹⁷ Sillä Kristus ei lähettänyt minua kastamaan, vaan evankeliumia julistamaan-ei puheen viisaudella, ettei Kristuksen risti menisi mitättömäksi. ¹⁸ Sillä sana rististä on hullutus niille, jotka kadotukseen joutuvat, mutta meille, jotka pelastumme, se on Jumalan voima. ¹⁹ Onhan kirjoitettu: "Minä hävitän viisasten viisauden, ja ymmärtäväisten ymmärryksen minä teen mitättömäksi". ²⁰ Missä ovat viisaat? Missä kirjanoppineet? Missä tämän maailman älyniekat? Eikö Jumala ole tehnyt maailman viisautta hullutukseksi? ²¹ Sillä kun, Jumalan viisaudesta, maailma ei oppinut viisauden avulla tuntemaan Jumalaa, niin Jumala näki hyväksi saarnauttamansa hullutuksen kautta pelastaa ne, jotka uskovat, ²² koskapa juutalaiset vaativat tunnustekoja ja kreikkalaiset etsivät viisautta, ²³ me taas saarnaamme ristiinnaulittua Kristusta, joka on juutalaisille pahennus ja pakanoille hullutus, ²⁴ mutta joka niille, jotka ovat kutsutut, olkootpa juutalaisia tai kreikkalaisia, on Kristus, Jumalan voima ja Jumalan viisaus. ²⁵ Sillä Jumalan hulluus on viisaampi kuin ihmiset, ja Jumalan heikkous on väkevämpi kuin ihmiset. ²⁶ Sillä katsokaa, veljet, omaa kutsumistanne: ei ole monta inhimillisesti viisasta, ei monta mahtavaa, ei monta jalosukuista, ²⁷ vaan sen, mikä on hulluutta maailmalle, sen Jumala valitsi saattaaksensa viisaat häpeään, ja sen, mikä on heikkoa maailmassa, sen Jumala valitsi saattaaksensa sen, mikä väkevää on, häpeään, ²⁸ ja sen, mikä maailmassa on halpasukuista ja halveksittua, sen Jumala valitsi, sen, joka ei mitään ole, tehdäksensä mitättömäksi sen, joka jotakin on, ²⁹ ettei mikään liha voisi kerskata Jumalan edessä. ³⁰ Mutta hänestä on teidän olemisenne Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa, joka on tullut meille viisaudeksi Jumalalta ja vanhurskaudeksi ja pyhitykseksi ja lunastukseksi, ³¹ että kävisi, niinkuin kirjoitettu on: "Joka kerskaa, sen kerskauksena olkoon Herra".

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mwen menm Pòl, yon moun Bondye menm te deside rele pou sèvi Jezikri apòt, m'ap ekri lèt sa a, ansanm ak Sostèn, frè nou, ² pou nou tout ki nan legliz Bondye a lavil Korent. Bondye te rele nou pou viv apa pou li, nou tout ki pou Bondye nan Jezikri, ansanm ak tout lòt moun toupatou k'ap rele non Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Paske Jezikri se Seyè yo menm jan li Seyè nou tou. ³ Nou mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze. ⁴ Se tout tan m'ap di Bondye mèsi pou sa l' fè pou nou menm, frè lavil Korent yo, pou favè li te fè nou jwenn nan Jezikri. ⁵ Pandan n'ap viv ansanm ak Kris la, Bondye fè nou rich nèt, li ban nou tout kalite kado: kado sa yo penmèt nou preche pawòl la tout jan epi yo ban nou anpil konesans. ⁶ Bon Nouvèl ki pale sou Kris la fin pran rasin nèt nan mitan nou. ⁷ Se sak fè, nou pa manke anyen nan kado Bondye bay yo, pandan n'ap tann jou lè Jezikri, Seyè nou an, pral parèt la. ⁸ Bondye va kenbe nou fèm jouk sa kaba. Konsa, yo p'ap jwenn anyen pou repwoche nou lè jou Jezikri, Seyè nou an, va rive. ⁹ Bondye ki rele nou pou nou ka viv ansanm ak Pitit li, Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ap toujou kenbe pawòl li. ¹⁰ Frè m' yo, men sa m'ap mande nou, nan non Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Tanpri, mete nou dakò sou tout bagay. Pa kite divizyon mete pye nan mitan nou. Okontrè, se pou nou viv byen yonn ak lòt. Mete yon sèl lide nan tèt nou, se pou nou tout gen yon sèl pawòl. ¹¹ Mwen di nou sa, frè m' yo, paske m' vin konnen nan bouch kèk moun nan fanmi Kloe a, te gen gwo kont pete nan mitan nou. ¹² Men sa m' vle di: Chak moun ap di yon bagay diferan. Sa a di: mwen se moun Pòl. Yon lòt di: mwen se moun Apolòs. Yon lòt ankò di: mwen se moun Pyè. Yon lòt ankò: mwen se moun Kris la. ¹³ Nan kondisyon sa a, Kris la gen lè divize? Eske se Pòl yo te kloure sou kwa a pou nou? Osinon, èske se nan non Pòl yo te batize nou? ¹⁴ Mwen di Bondye mèsi dèske mwen pa t' batize nou yonn, an wetan Krispis ak Gayis. ¹⁵ Konsa, pesonn pa ka di yo te batize nan non Pòl. ¹⁶ (Mwen t'ap bliye sa: mwen te batize Estefanas ak moun lakay li yo tou. Men, mwen pa chonje m' te batize pesonn lòt ankò.) ¹⁷ Epitou, Kris la pa t' voye m' batize moun. Li te voye m' anonse Bon Nouvèl la, epi se pou m' anonse l' san m' pa bezwen sèvi ak bèl diskou bon konprann lèzòm, pou m' pa fè lanmò Kris la sou kwa a pase pou anyen. ¹⁸ Pawòl ki fè nou konnen jan Kris la mouri sou kwa a, se pawòl moun fou pou moun k'ap peri yo. Men, pou nou menm ki delivre yo se pouvwa Bondye. ¹⁹ Se sa menm ki te ekri nan Liv la: M'ap detwi bon konprann moun lespri yo. M'ap voye konesans save yo jete. ²⁰ Bon, lè sa a, moun ki gen bon konprann yo, moun ki fò yo, moun ki renmen diskite dapre prensip lèzòm yo, kisa yo gen pou di ankò? Eske Bondye pa fè wè se bon konprann lèzòm lan ki pawòl moun fou? ²¹ Se sak fè, moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn lan, avèk tout bon konprann yo, yo pa kapab rekonèt Bondye kote Bondye ap fè wè bon konprann li. Se poutèt sa, Bondye deside delivre tout moun ki kwè nan pawòl moun fou n'ap anonse a. ²² Yon bò, jwif yo ap mande mirak, yon lòt bò grèk yo ap chache bon konprann. ²³ Men nou menm, n'ap fè konnen Kris yo te kloure sou kwa a. Pou jwif yo, sa se yon wòch k'ap fè yo bite. Pou moun ki pa jwif yo, sa se bagay moun fou. ²⁴ Men pou tout moun Bondye rele yo, kit yo jwif, kit yo pa jwif, n'ap fè konnen Kris la ki bon konprann Bondye a ak pouvwa Bondye a. ²⁵ Paske, sa ki sanble yon bagay moun fou Bondye ap fè a, li pi bon konprann pase bon konprann lèzòm. Sa ki sanble yon feblès Bondye ap moutre, li pi fò pase fòs lèzòm. ²⁶ Koulye a, frè m' yo, chonje ki kalite moun nou te ye lè Bondye te rele nou. Pa gen anpil nan nou ki gen bon konprann dapre sa lèzòm rele bon konprann, pa gen anpil grannèg, ni anpil moun gran fanmi. ²⁷ Se konsa, Bondye chwazi moun lèzòm konsidere tankou moun sòt pou l' fè moun ki gen bon konprann yo wont. Li chwazi moun lèzòm konsidere tankou moun ki fèb pou l' fè grannèg yo wont. ²⁸ Li chwazi moun lèzòm gade pou anyen, moun yo meprize, moun ki pa menm egziste pou yo, pou li te ka kraze sa ki gen enpòtans pou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn. ²⁹ Konsa, pa gen moun ki ka fè grandizè devan Bondye. ³⁰ Bondye mete nou ansanm ak Jezikri, li fè Kris la tounen bon konprann pou nou. Se Kris la ki fè Bondye fè nou gras. Se li menm k'ap fè nou viv apa pou Bondye, se li menm ki delivre nou. ³¹ Konsa, jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Si yon moun vle fè lwanj tèt li, se pou l' fè lwanj tèt li nan sa Bondye fè pou li.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pál, Jézus Krisztusnak Isten akaratából elhívott apostola, és Sosthenes, az atyafi. ² Az Isten gyülekezetének, a mely Korinthusban van, a Krisztus Jézusban megszentelteknek, elhívott szenteknek, mindazokkal egybe, a kik a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus nevét segítségül hívják bármely helyen, a magokén és a miénken: ³ Kegyelem néktek és békesség Istentõl, a mi Atyánktól, és az Úr Jézus Krisztustól. ⁴ Hálát adok az én Istenemnek mindenkor ti felõletek az Isten ama kegyelméért, mely néktek a Krisztus Jézusban adatott, ⁵ Mivelhogy mindenben meggazdagodtatok õ benne, minden beszédben és minden ismeretben, ⁶ A mint megerõsíttetett ti bennetek a Krisztus felõl való bizonyságtétel. ⁷ Úgy, hogy semmi kegyelmi ajándék nélkül nem szûkölködtök, várván a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztusnak megjelenését, ⁸ A ki meg is erõsít titeket mindvégig feddhetetlenségben, a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztusnak napján. ⁹ Hû az Isten, ki elhívott titeket az õ Fiával, a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztussal való közösségre, ¹⁰ Kérlek azonban titeket atyámfiai, a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus nevére, hogy mindnyájan egyképen szóljatok és ne legyenek köztetek szakadások, de legyetek teljesen egyek ugyanazon értelemben és ugyanazon véleményben. ¹¹ Mert megtudtam felõletek atyámfiai a Kloé embereitõl, hogy versengések vannak köztetek. ¹² Azt értem pedig, hogy mindenitek ezt mondja: Én Pálé vagyok, én meg Apollósé, én meg Kéfásé, én meg Krisztusé. ¹³ Vajjon részekre osztatott-é a Krisztus? Vajjon Pál feszíttetett-é meg érettetek, vagy a Pál nevére kereszteltettetek-é meg? ¹⁴ Hálákat adok az Istennek, hogy senkit sem kereszteltem meg közületek, kivéve Krispust és Gájust, ¹⁵ Hogy valaki azt ne mondja, hogy a magam nevére kereszteltem. ¹⁶ Megkereszteltem azonban Stefana házanépét is, ezenkívül nem tudom, hogy valakit mást kereszteltem volna. ¹⁷ Mert nem azért küldött engem a Krisztus, hogy kereszteljek, hanem hogy az evangyéliomot hirdessem; de nem szólásban való bölcseséggel, hogy a Krisztus keresztje hiábavaló ne legyen. ¹⁸ Mert a keresztrõl való beszéd bolondság ugyan azoknak, a kik elvesznek; de nekünk, kik megtartatunk, Istennek ereje. ¹⁹ Mert meg van írva: Elvesztem a bölcseknek bölcseségét és az értelmeseknek értelmét elvetem. ²⁰ Hol a bölcs? hol az írástudó? hol e világnak vitázója? Nemde nem bolondsággá tette-é Isten e világnak bölcseségét? ²¹ Mert minekutána az Isten bölcseségében nem ismerte meg a világ a bölcseség által az Istent, tetszék az Istennek, hogy az igehirdetés bolondsága által tartsa meg a hívõket. ²² Mert egyfelõl a zsidók jelt kívánnak, másfelõl a görögök bölcseséget keresnek. ²³ Mi pedig Krisztust prédikáljuk, mint megfeszítettet, a zsidóknak ugyan botránkozást, a görögöknek pedig bolondságot; ²⁴ Ámde magoknak a hivatalosoknak, úgy zsidóknak, mint görögöknek Krisztust, Istennek hatalmát és Istennek bölcseségét. ²⁵ Mert az Isten bolondsága bölcsebb az embereknél, és az Isten erõtelensége erõsebb az embereknél. ²⁶ Mert tekintsétek csak a ti hivatástokat, atyámfiai, hogy nem sokan [hívattak] bölcsek test szerint, nem sokan hatalmasak, nem sokan nemesek; ²⁷ Hanem a világ bolondjait választotta ki magának az Isten, hogy megszégyenítse a bölcseket; és a világ erõtleneit választotta ki magának az Isten, hogy megszégyenítse az erõseket; ²⁸ És a világ nemteleneit és megvetettjeit választotta ki magának az Isten, és a semmiket, hogy a valamiket megsemmisítse: ²⁹ Hogy ne dicsekedjék õ elõtte egy test sem. ³⁰ Tõle vagytok pedig ti a Krisztus Jézusban, ki bölcseségül lõn nékünk Istentõl, és igazságul, szentségül és váltságul: ³¹ Hogy, a mint meg van írva: A ki dicsekedik, az Úrban dicsekedjék.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saudara-saudara jemaat Allah di Korintus! Saudara sudah dipanggil oleh Allah untuk menjadi umat-Nya karena Saudara milik Kristus Yesus, bersama-sama semua orang di mana saja yang menyembah Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus, yaitu Tuhan mereka dan Tuhan kita juga. Saya, Paulus, dan saudara kita Sostenes, mengharap semoga Allah Bapa kita dan Tuhan Yesus Kristus memberi berkat dan sejahtera kepadamu. Saya menulis surat ini sebagai rasul Kristus Yesus, yang diangkat oleh Allah sendiri dan atas kehendak-Nya juga. ² (1:1) ³ (1:1) ⁴ Saya selalu berterima kasih kepada Allah mengenai kalian, sebab kalian sudah menerima rahmat dari Allah melalui Kristus Yesus. ⁵ Karena kalian sudah menjadi milik Kristus, maka hidupmu kaya dalam segala hal. Pengetahuanmu tentang segala sesuatu sangat dalam, dan kalian pandai mengajar pengetahuan itu. ⁶ Itu menunjukkan bahwa berita tentang Kristus sudah begitu meresap ke dalam hatimu, ⁷ sehingga kalian tidak kekurangan satu berkat pun, sementara kalian menunggu Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus datang dan dilihat oleh semua orang. ⁸ Kristus sendiri akan menjamin kalian sampai pada akhirnya; supaya pada waktu Ia datang kembali, kalian didapati tanpa cela. ⁹ Allah dapat dipercayai sepenuhnya. Ialah Allah yang sudah memanggil kalian untuk menjadi satu dengan Anak-Nya, yaitu Yesus Kristus, Tuhan kita. ¹⁰ Saudara-saudara! Atas nama Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus, saya minta supaya kalian semuanya seia sekata; supaya jangan ada perpecahan di antaramu. Hendaklah kalian bersatu, sehati dan sepikir. ¹¹ Sebab, orang-orang dari keluarga Kloe melaporkan kepada saya bahwa ada pertengkaran di antaramu. ¹² Yang saya maksudkan ialah bahwa di antaramu ada yang berkata, "Saya ikut Paulus," ada juga yang berkata, "Saya ikut Apolos," yang lain berkata, "Saya ikut Petrus," sedangkan yang lain lagi berkata, "Saya ikut Kristus." ¹³ Masakan Kristus terbagi-bagi! Paulus tidak mati disalib untukmu! Kalian pun tidak dibaptis untuk menjadi pengikut-pengikut Paulus, bukan? ¹⁴ Syukurlah saya tidak membaptis seorang pun dari antaramu, selain Krispus dan Gayus. ¹⁵ Jangan sampai seorang pun berkata bahwa saya sudah membaptis dia untuk menjadi pengikut saya. ¹⁶ (Oh ya, Stefanus dan keluarganya, memang saya yang membaptis mereka. Tetapi selain dari itu, seingat saya, tidak ada lagi orang lain yang saya baptis.) ¹⁷ Kristus mengutus saya bukan untuk membaptis orang, melainkan untuk memberitakan Kabar Baik dari Allah; dan itu pun harus saya lakukan tanpa memakai kepandaian berbicara secara manusia, agar kuasa dari kematian Kristus pada salib tidak menjadi sia-sia. ¹⁸ Sebab bagi orang-orang yang menuju kebinasaan, berita tentang kematian Kristus pada salib merupakan omong kosong. Tetapi, bagi kita yang diselamatkan oleh Allah, berita itu merupakan caranya Allah menunjukkan kuasa-Nya. ¹⁹ Sebab dalam Alkitab, Allah berkata, "Kebijaksanaan orang arif akan Kukacaukan, dan pengertian orang-orang berilmu akan Kulenyapkan." ²⁰ Nah, apa gunanya orang-orang arif itu? Apa gunanya mereka yang berilmu? Apa gunanya ahli-ahli pikir dunia ini? Allah sudah menunjukkan bahwa kebijaksanaan dunia ini adalah omong kosong belaka! ²¹ Karena bagaimanapun pandainya manusia, ia tidak dapat mengenal Allah melalui kepandaiannya sendiri. Tetapi justru karena Allah bijaksana, maka Ia berkenan menyelamatkan orang-orang yang percaya kepada-Nya melalui berita yang kami wartakan yang dianggap omong kosong oleh dunia. ²² Orang Yahudi menuntut keajaiban sebagai bukti, dan orang Yunani mementingkan kebijaksanaan dunia ini. ²³ Tetapi kita ini hanya memberitakan Kristus yang mati disalib. Berita itu menyinggung perasaan orang Yahudi, dan dianggap omong kosong oleh orang-orang bukan Yahudi. ²⁴ Tetapi bagi orang-orang yang sudah dipanggil oleh Allah--baik orang Yahudi maupun orang bukan Yahudi--berita itu merupakan caranya Allah menunjukkan kuasa dan kebijaksanaan-Nya. ²⁵ Sebab yang nampaknya bodoh pada Allah, adalah lebih bijaksana daripada kebijaksanaan manusia; dan yang nampaknya lemah pada Allah, adalah lebih kuat daripada kekuatan manusia. ²⁶ Saudara-saudara! Coba ingat bagaimana keadaanmu pada waktu Allah memanggil kalian. Cuma sedikit saja dari antaramu yang bijaksana, atau berkuasa, atau berkedudukan tinggi menurut pandangan manusia. ²⁷ Sebab memang Allah sengaja memilih yang dianggap bodoh oleh dunia ini, supaya orang-orang pandai menjadi malu. Dan Allah memilih juga yang dianggap lemah oleh dunia ini, supaya orang-orang yang gagah perkasa menjadi malu. ²⁸ Allah memilih yang dianggap rendah, hina, dan malah yang dianggap tidak berarti oleh dunia ini, supaya Allah menghancurkan yang dianggap penting oleh dunia. ²⁹ Dengan demikian tidak seorang pun dapat menyombongkan diri di hadapan Allah. ³⁰ Allah sendirilah yang membuat sehingga Saudara bersatu dengan Kristus Yesus. Melalui Kristus, kita dijadikan bijaksana. Dan melalui Dia juga Allah membuat kita berbaik kembali dengan diri-Nya, menjadikan kita umat-Nya yang khusus, dan membebaskan kita. ³¹ Jadi, seperti yang tertulis dalam Alkitab, "Orang yang mau berbangga-bangga, harus berbangga atas apa yang dilakukan Tuhan."

Paolo è egli stato crocifisso per voi? ovvero siete voi stati battezzati nel nome di Paolo? ¹⁴ Io ringrazio Iddio, che io non ho battezzato alcun di voi, fuori che Crispo e Gaio; ¹⁵ acciocchè alcuno non dica ch’io abbia battezzato nel mio nome. ¹⁶ Ho battezzata ancora la famiglia di Stefana; nel rimanente, non so se ho battezzato alcun altro. ¹⁷ PERCIOCCHÈ Cristo non mi ha mandato per battezzare, ma per evangelizzare; non in sapienza di parlare, acciocchè la croce di Cristo non sia resa vana. ¹⁸ Perciocchè la parola della croce è ben pazzia a coloro che periscono; ma a noi, che siam salvati, è la potenza di Dio. ¹⁹ Poichè egli è scritto: Io farò perir la sapienza dei savi, ed annullerò l’intendimento degl’intendenti. ²⁰ Dov’è alcun savio? dov’è alcuno scriba? dov’è alcun ricercatore di questo secolo? non ha Iddio resa pazza la sapienza di questo mondo? ²¹ Perciocchè, poichè nella sapienza di Dio, il mondo non ha conosciuto Iddio per la sapienza, è piaciuto a Dio di salvare i credenti per la pazzia della predicazione. ²² Poichè e i Giudei chieggono segno, e i Greci cercano sapienza. ²³ Ma noi predichiamo Cristo crocifisso, che è scandalo a’ Giudei, e pazzia a’ Greci. ²⁴ Ma a coloro che son chiamati, Giudei e Greci, noi predichiam Cristo, potenza di Dio, e sapienza di Dio. ²⁵ Poichè la pazzia di Dio è più savia che gli uomini, e la debolezza di Dio più forte che gli uomini. ²⁶ Perciocchè, fratelli, vedete la vostra vocazione; che non siete molti savi secondo la carne, non molti potenti, non molti nobili. ²⁷ Anzi Iddio ha scelte le cose pazze del mondo, per isvergognare le savie. E Iddio ha scelte le cose deboli del mondo, per isvergognare le forti. ²⁸ E Iddio ha scelte le cose ignobili del mondo, e le cose spregevoli, e le cose che non sono, per ridurre al niente quelle che sono. ²⁹ Acciocchè niuna carne si glorii nel cospetto di Dio. ³⁰ Or da lui voi siete in Cristo Gesù, il quale ci è stato fatto da Dio sapienza, e giustizia, e santificazione, e redenzione; ³¹ acciocchè, siccome è scritto: Chi si gloria, si glorii nel Signore.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paolo, chiamato ad essere apostolo di Cristo Gesù per la volontà di Dio, e il fratello Sostene, ² alla chiesa di Dio che è in Corinto, ai santificati in Cristo Gesù, chiamati ad esser santi, con tutti quelli che in ogni luogo invocano il nome del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo, Signor loro e nostro, ³ grazia a voi e pace da Dio nostro Padre e dal Signor Gesù Cristo. ⁴ Io rendo del continuo grazie all’Iddio mio per voi della grazia di Dio che vi è stata data in Cristo Gesù; ⁵ perché in lui siete stati arricchiti in ogni cosa, in ogni dono di parola e in ogni conoscenza, ⁶ essendo stata la testimonianza di Cristo confermata tra voi; ⁷ in guisa che non difettate d’alcun dono, mentre aspettate la manifestazione del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo, ⁸ il quale anche vi confermerà sino alla fine, onde siate irreprensibili nel giorno del nostro Signor Gesù Cristo. ⁹ Fedele è l’Iddio dal quale siete stati chiamati alla comunione del suo Figliuolo Gesù Cristo, nostro Signore. ¹⁰ Ora, fratelli, io v’esorto, per il nome del nostro Signor Gesù Cristo, ad aver tutti un medesimo parlare, e a non aver divisioni fra voi, ma a stare perfettamente uniti in una medesima mente e in un medesimo sentire. ¹¹ Perché, fratelli miei, m’è stato riferito intorno a voi da quei di casa Cloe, che vi son fra voi delle contese. ¹² Voglio dire che ciascun di voi dice: Io son di Paolo; e io d’Apollo; e io di Cefa; e io di Cristo. ¹³ Cristo è egli diviso? Paolo è egli stato crocifisso per voi? O siete voi stati battezzati nel nome di Paolo? ¹⁴ Io ringrazio Dio che non ho battezzato alcun di voi, salvo Crispo e Gaio; ¹⁵ cosicché nessuno può dire che foste battezzati nel mio nome. ¹⁶ Ho battezzato anche la famiglia di Stefana; del resto non so se ho battezzato alcun altro. ¹⁷ Perché Cristo non mi ha mandato a battezzare ma ad evangelizzare; non con sapienza di parola, affinché la croce di Cristo non sia resa vana. ¹⁸ Poiché la parola della croce è pazzia per quelli che periscono; ma per noi che siam sulla via della salvazione, è la potenza di Dio; poich’egli è scritto: ¹⁹ Io farò perire la sapienza dei savi, e annienterò l’intelligenza degli intelligenti. ²⁰ Dov’è il savio? Dov’è lo scriba? Dov’è il disputatore di questo secolo? Iddio non ha egli resa pazza la sapienza di questo mondo? ²¹ Poiché, visto che nella sapienza di Dio il mondo non ha conosciuto Dio con la propria sapienza, è piaciuto a Dio di salvare i credenti mediante la pazzia della predicazione. ²² Poiché i Giudei chiedon de’ miracoli, e i Greci cercan sapienza; ²³ ma noi predichiamo Cristo crocifisso, che per i Giudei è scandalo, e per i Gentili, pazzia; ²⁴ ma per quelli i quali son chiamati, tanto Giudei quanto Greci, predichiamo Cristo, potenza di Dio e sapienza di Dio; ²⁵ poiché la pazzia di Dio è più savia degli uomini, e la debolezza di Dio è più forte degli uomini. ²⁶ Infatti, fratelli, guardate la vostra vocazione: non ci son tra voi molti savi secondo la carne, non molti potenti, non molti nobili; ²⁷ ma Dio ha scelto le cose pazze del mondo per svergognare i savi; e Dio ha scelto le cose deboli del mondo per svergognare le forti; ²⁸ e Dio ha scelto le cose ignobili del mondo, e le cose sprezzate, anzi le cose che non sono, per ridurre al niente le cose che sono, ²⁹ affinché nessuna carne si glori nel cospetto di Dio. ³⁰ E a lui voi dovete d’essere in Cristo Gesù, il quale ci è stato fatto da Dio sapienza, e giustizia, e santificazione, e redenzione, ³¹ affinché, com’è scritto: Chi si gloria, si glori nel Signore.

Japanese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 神の御意により召されてイエス・キリストの使徒となれるパウロ及び兄弟ソステネ、 ² 書をコリントに在る神の教會、即ちいづれの處にありても、我らの主、ただに我等のみならず彼らの主なるイエス・キリストの名を呼び求むる者とともに、聖徒となるべき召を蒙り、キリスト・イエスに在りて潔められたる汝らに贈る。 ³ 願はくは我らの父なる神および主イエス・キリストより賜ふ恩惠と平安と汝らに在らんことを。 ⁴ われ汝らがキリスト・イエスに在りて神より賜はりし恩惠に就きて、常に神に感謝す。 ⁵ 汝らはキリストに在りて、諸般のこと即ち凡ての言と凡ての悟とに富みたればなり。 ⁶ これキリストの證なんぢらの中に堅うせられたるに因る。 ⁷ 斯く汝らは凡ての賜物に缺くる所なくして、我らの主イエス・キリストの現れ給ふを待てり。 ⁸ 彼は汝らを終まで堅うして、我らの主イエス・キリストの日に責むべき所なからしめ給はん。 ⁹ 汝らを召して其の子われらの主イエス・キリストの交際に入らしめ給ふ神は眞實なる哉。 ¹⁰ 兄弟よ、我らの主イエス・キリストの名に頼りて汝らに勸む、おのおの語るところを同じうし、分爭する事なく、同じ心おなじ念にて全く一つになるべし。 ¹¹ わが兄弟よ、クロエの家の者、なんぢらの中に紛爭あることを我に知らせたり。 ¹² 即ち汝等おのおの『我はパウロに屬す』『われはアポロに』『我はケパに』『我はキリストに』と言ふこれなり。 ¹³ キリストは分たるる者ならんや、パウロは汝らの爲に十字架につけられしや、汝らパウロの名に頼りてバプテスマを受けしや。 ¹⁴ 我は感謝す、クリスポとガイオとの他には、我なんぢらの中の一人にもバプテスマを施さざりしを。 ¹⁵ 是わが名に頼りて汝らがバプテスマを受けしと人の言ふ事なからん爲なり。 ¹⁶ またステパノの家族にバプテスマを施しし事あり、此の他には我バプテスマを施しし事ありや知らざるなり。 ¹⁷ そはキリストの我を遣し給へるはバプテスマを施させん爲にあらず、福音を宣傳へしめんとてなり。而して言の智慧をもつてせず、是キリストの十字架の虚しくならざらん爲なり。 ¹⁸ それ十字架の言は亡ぶる者には愚なれど、救はるる我らには神の能力なり。 ¹⁹ 録して、『われ智者の智慧をほろぼし、慧き者のさときを空しうせん』とあればなり。 ²⁰ 智者いづこにか在る、學者いづこにか在る、この世の論者いづこにか在る、神は世の智慧をして愚ならしめ給へるにあらずや。 ²¹ 世は己の智慧をもて神を知らず（これ神の智慧に適へるなり）この故に神は宣教の愚をもて、信ずる者を救ふを善しとし給へり。 ²² ユダヤ人は徴を請ひ、ギリシヤ人は智慧を求む。 ²³ されど我らは十字架に釘けられ給ひしキリストを宣傳ふ。これはユダヤ人に躓物となり、異邦人に愚となれど、 ²⁴ 召されたる者にはユダヤ人にもギリシヤ人にも、神の能力また神の智慧たるキリストなり。 ²⁵ 神の愚は人よりも智く、神の弱は人よりも強ければなり。 ²⁶ 兄弟よ、召を蒙れる汝らを見よ、肉によれる智き者おほからず、能力ある者おほからず、貴きもの多からず。 ²⁷ されど神は智き者を辱しめんとて世の愚なる者を選び、強き者を辱しめんとて弱き者を選び、 ²⁸ 有る者を亡さんとて世の卑しきもの、輕んぜらるる者、すなわち無きが如き者を選び給へり。 ²⁹ これ神の前に人の誇る事なからん爲なり。 ³⁰ 汝らは神に頼りてキリスト・イエスに在り、彼は神に立てられて我らの智慧と義と聖と救贖とになり給へり。 ³¹ これ『誇る者は主に頼りて誇るべし』と録されたる如くならん爲なり。

Argi Paulius buvo už jus nukryžiuotas? Argi vardan Pauliaus buvote pakrikštyti? ¹⁴ Ačiū Dievui, kad pas jus nieko daugiau nekrikštijau, išskyrus Krispą ir Gajų, ¹⁵ kad niekas nesakytų, jog aš krikštiju savo paties vardu. ¹⁶ Tiesa, pakrikštijau taip pat Stepono namus, o daugiau nežinau, ar ką pakrikštijau. ¹⁷ Kristus nesiuntė manęs krikštyti, bet Evangelijos skelbti,ne žodžių išmintimi, kad Kristaus kryžius netaptų bereikšmis. ¹⁸ Mat žodis apie kryžių tiems, kurie žūsta, yra kvailystė, bet mums, išgelbėtiems, jis yra Dievo jėga. ¹⁹ Nes parašyta: “Sunaikinsiu išmintingųjų išmintį, niekais paversiu protingųjų išmanymą”. ²⁰ Kur išminčius? Kur Rašto žinovas? Kur šio amžiaus tyrinėtojas?

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paweł, powołany Apostoł Jezusa Chrystusa przez wolę Bożą, i Sostenes brat. ² Zborowi Bożemu, który jest w Koryncie, poświęconym w Chrystusie Jezusie, powołanym świętym, ze wszystkimi, którzy wzywają imienia Pana naszego Jezusa Chrystusa na wszelkiem miejscu, i ich, i naszem. ³ Łaska wam i pokój niech będzie od Boga, Ojca naszego, i od Pana Jezusa Chrystusa. ⁴ Dziękuję Bogu mojemu zawsze za was dla łaski Bożej, która wam jest dana w Chrystusie Jezusie, ⁵ Iżeście we wszystkiem ubogaceni w nim we wszelkiej mowie i we wszelkiej znajomości; ⁶ Jako świadectwo Chrystusowe utwierdzone jest w was, ⁷ Tak iż wam na żadnym darze nie schodzi, którzy oczekujecie objawienia Pana naszego Jezusa Chrystusa. ⁸ Który was też utwierdzi aż do końca, abyście byli bez nagany w dzień Pana naszego, Jezusa Chrystusa. ⁹ Wiernyć jest Bóg, przez którego jesteście powołani ku społeczności Syna jego, Jezusa Chrystusa, Pana naszego. ¹⁰ A proszę was, bracia! przez imię Pana naszego, Jezusa Chrystusa, abyście toż mówili wszyscy, a iżby nie były między wami rozerwania, ale abyście byli spojeni jednakim umysłem i jednakiem zdaniem. ¹¹ Albowiem oznajmiono mi o was, bracia moi! od domowników Chloi, iż poswarki są między wami. ¹² A to powiadam, iż każdy z was mówi: Jamci jest Pawłowy, a jam Apollosowy, a jam Kiefasowy, alem ja Chrystusowy. ¹³ Rozdzielonyż jest Chrystus? Azaż Paweł za was ukrzyżowany? Alboście w imię Pawłowe ochrzczeni? ¹⁴ Dziękuję Bogu, żem żadnego z was nie chrzcił, oprócz Kryspa i Gajusa; ¹⁵ Aby kto nie rzekł, żem chrzcił w imię moje. ¹⁶ Ochrzciłem też i dom Stefanowy; nadto nie wiem, jeźlim kogo drugiego ochrzcił. ¹⁷ Boć mnie nie posłał Chrystus chrzcić, ale Ewangieliję kazać, wszakże nie w mądrości mowy, aby nie był wyniszczony krzyż Chrystusowy. ¹⁸ Albowiem mowa o krzyżu tym, którzy giną, jest głupstwem; ale nam, którzy bywamy zbawieni, jest mocą Bożą. ¹⁹ Bo napisano: Wniwecz obrócę mądrość mądrych, a rozum rozumnych odrzucę. ²⁰ Gdzież jest mądry? Gdzież jest uczony w Piśmie? Gdzież badacz wieku tego? Izali w głupstwo nie obrócił Bóg mądrości świata tego? ²¹ Albowiem ponieważ w mądrości Bożej świat nie poznał Boga przez mądrość, upodobało się Bogu przez głupie kazanie zbawić wierzących, ²² Gdyż i Żydowie się cudów domagają, a Grekowie mądrości szukają. ²³ Ale my każemy Chrystusa ukrzyżowanego, Żydom wprawdzie zgorszenie, a Grekom głupstwo; ²⁴ Lecz samym powołanym i Żydom, i Grekom każemy Chrystusa, który jest mocą Bożą i mądrością Bożą. ²⁵ Albowiem głupstwo Boże jest mędrsze niż ludzie; a mdłość Boża jest mocniejsza niż ludzie. ²⁶ Widzicie zaiste powołanie wasze, bracia! iż niewiele mądrych według ciała, niewiele możnych, niewiele zacnego rodu; ²⁷ Ale co głupiego jest u świata tego, to wybrał Bóg, aby zawstydził mądrych, a co mdłego u świata, wybrał Bóg, aby zawstydził mocnych. ²⁸ A podłego rodu u świata i wzgardzone wybrał Bóg, owszem te rzeczy, których nie masz, aby te, które są, zniszczył. ²⁹ Aby się nie chlubiło żadne ciało przed obliczem jego. ³⁰ Lecz z niego wy jesteście w Chrystusie Jezusie, który się nam stał mądrością od Boga i sprawiedliwością, i poświęceniem, i odkupieniem, ³¹ Aby, jako napisano: Kto się chlubi, w Panu się chlubił.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paulo, chamado para ser apóstolo de Jesus Cristo pela vontade de Deus, e o irmão Sóstenes, ² à igreja de Deus que está em Corinto, aos santificados em Cristo Jesus, chamados para serem santos, com todos os que em todo lugar invocam o nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, Senhor deles e nosso: ³ Graça seja convosco, e paz, da parte de Deus nosso Pai, e do Senhor Jesus Cristo. ⁴ Sempre dou graças a Deus por vós, pela graça de Deus que vos foi dada em Cristo Jesus; ⁵ porque em tudo fostes enriquecidos nele, em toda palavra e em todo o conhecimento, ⁶ assim como o testemunho de Cristo foi confirmado entre vós; ⁷ de maneira que nenhum dom vos falta, enquanto aguardais a manifestação de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, ⁸ o qual também vos confirmará até o fim, para serdes irrepreensíveis no dia de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo. ⁹ Fiel é Deus, pelo qual fostes chamados para a comunhão de seu Filho Jesus Cristo nosso Senhor. ¹⁰ Rogo-vos, irmãos, em nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que sejais concordes no falar, e que não haja dissensões entre vós; antes sejais unidos no mesmo pensamento e no mesmo parecer. ¹¹ Pois a respeito de vós, irmãos meus, fui informado pelos da família de Cloé que há contendas entre vós. ¹² Quero dizer com isto, que cada um de vós diz: Eu sou de Paulo; ou, Eu de Apolo; ou Eu sou de Cefas; ou, Eu de Cristo. ¹³ será que Cristo está dividido? foi Paulo crucificado por amor de vós? ou fostes vós baptizados em nome de Paulo? ¹⁴ Dou graças a Deus que a nenhum de vós baptizei, senão a Crispo e a Gaio; ¹⁵ para que ninguém diga que fostes baptizados em meu nome. ¹⁶ É verdade, baptizei também a família de Estéfanes, além destes, não sei se baptizei algum outro. ¹⁷ Porque Cristo não me enviou para baptizar, mas para pregar o evangelho; não em sabedoria de palavras, para não se tornar vã a cruz de Cristo. ¹⁸ Porque a palavra da cruz é deveras loucura para os que perecem; mas para nós, que somos salvos, é o poder de Deus. ¹⁹ porque está escrito: Destruirei a sabedoria dos sábios, e aniquilarei a sabedoria o entendimento dos entendidos. ²⁰ Onde está o sábio? Onde o escriba? Onde o questionador deste século? Porventura não tornou Deus louca a sabedoria deste mundo? ²¹ Visto como na sabedoria de Deus o mundo pela sua sabedoria não conheceu a Deus, aprouve a Deus salvar pela loucura da pregação os que crêem. ²² Pois, enquanto os judeus pedem sinal, e os gregos buscam sabedoria, ²³ nós pregamos a Cristo crucificado, que é escândalo para os judeus, e loucura para os gregos, ²⁴ mas para os que são chamados, tanto judeus como gregos, Cristo, poder de Deus, e sabedoria de Deus. ²⁵ Porque a loucura de Deus é mais sábia que os homens; e a fraqueza de Deus é mais forte que os homens. ²⁶ Ora, vede, irmãos, a vossa vocação, que não são muitos os sábios segundo a carne, nem muitos os poderosos. nem muitos os nobres que são chamados. ²⁷ Pelo contrário, Deus escolheu as coisas loucas do mundo para confundir os sábios; e Deus escolheu as coisas fracas do mundo para confundir as fortes; ²⁸ e Deus escolheu as coisas ignóbeis do mundo, e as desprezadas, e as que não são, para reduzir a nada as que são; ²⁹ para que nenhum mortal se glorie na presença de Deus. ³⁰ Mas vós sois dele, em Cristo Jesus, o qual para nós foi feito por Deus sabedoria, e justiça, e santificação, e redenção; ³¹ para que, como está escrito: Aquele que se gloria, glorie-se no Senhor.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paulus, ved Guds vilje kalt til Kristi Jesu apostel, og broderen Sostenes ² - til den Guds menighet som er i Korint, helligede i Kristus Jesus, kalte, hellige, tillikemed alle dem som på ethvert sted påkaller vår Herre Jesu Kristi navn, deres og vår: ³ Nåde være med eder og fred fra Gud vår Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus! ⁴ Jeg takker alltid min Gud for eder, for den Guds nåde som er eder gitt i Kristus Jesus, ⁵ at I i ham er gjort rike på alt, på all lære og all kunnskap, ⁶ likesom Kristi vidnesbyrd er blitt rotfestet i eder, ⁷ så at det ikke fattes eder på nogen nådegave mens I venter på vår Herre Jesu Kristi åpenbarelse, ⁸ han som også skal styrke eder inntil enden, så I må være ulastelige på vår Herre Jesu Kristi dag. ⁹ Gud er trofast, han ved hvem I blev kalt til samfund med hans Sønn, Jesus Kristus, vår Herre. ¹⁰ Men jeg formaner eder, brødre, ved vår Herre Jesu Kristi navn at I alle må føre den samme tale, og at det ikke må være splid iblandt eder, men at I må være fast forenet i samme sinn og i samme mening. ¹¹ For det er av Kloes folk blitt mig fortalt om eder, mine brødre, at det er tretter iblandt eder. ¹² Jeg mener dette at enhver av eder sier: Jeg holder mig til Paulus; jeg til Apollos; jeg til Kefas; jeg til Kristus. ¹³ Er Kristus blitt delt? var det Paulus som blev korsfestet for eder, eller var det til Paulus' navn I blev døpt? ¹⁴ Jeg takker Gud at jeg ikke har døpt nogen av eder uten Krispus og Gajus, ¹⁵ for at ikke nogen skal si at I blev døpt til mitt navn. ¹⁶ Dog har jeg også døpt Stefanas' hus; ellers vet jeg ikke av at jeg har døpt nogen annen. ¹⁷ For Kristus har ikke utsendt mig for å døpe, men for å forkynne evangeliet, ikke med vise ord, for at Kristi kors ikke skulde tape sin kraft. ¹⁸ For ordet om korset er vel en dårskap for dem som går fortapt, men for oss som blir frelst, er det en Guds kraft; ¹⁹ for det er skrevet: Jeg vil ødelegge de vises visdom, og de forstandiges forstand vil jeg gjøre til intet. ²⁰ Hvor er en vismann, hvor er en skriftlærd, hvor er en gransker i denne verden? har ikke Gud gjort verdens visdom til dårskap? ²¹ For eftersom verden ikke ved sin visdom kjente Gud i Guds visdom, var det Guds vilje ved forkynnelsens dårskap å frelse dem som tror, ²² eftersom både jøder krever tegn og grekere søker visdom, ²³ men vi forkynner Kristus korsfestet, for jøder et anstøt og for hedninger en dårskap, ²⁴ men for dem som er kalt, både jøder og grekere, forkynner vi Kristus, Guds kraft og Guds visdom. ²⁵ For Guds dårskap er visere enn menneskene, og Guds svakhet er sterkere enn menneskene. ²⁶ For legg merke til eders kall, brødre, at ikke mange vise efter kjødet blev kalt, ikke mange mektige, ikke mange høibårne; ²⁷ men det som er dårlig i verden, det utvalgte Gud sig for å gjøre de vise til skamme, og det som er svakt i verden, det utvalgte Gud sig for å gjøre det sterke til skamme, ²⁸ og det som er lavt i verden, og det som er ringeaktet, det utvalgte Gud sig, det som ingenting er, for å gjøre til intet det som er noget, ²⁹ forat intet kjød skal rose sig for Gud. ³⁰ Men av ham er I i Kristus Jesus, som er blitt oss visdom fra Gud og rettferdighet og helliggjørelse og forløsning, ³¹ forat, som skrevet er: Den som roser sig, han rose sig i Herren!

Pavel a fost răstignit pentru voi? Sau în numele lui Pavel aţi fost voi botezaţi? ¹⁴ Mulţămesc lui Dumnezeu că n'am botezat pe niciunul din voi, afară de Crisp şi Gaiu, ¹⁵ pentruca nimeni să nu poată spune că aţi fost botezaţi în numele meu. ¹⁶ Da, am mai botezat şi casa lui Stefana; încolo, nu ştiu să mai fi botezat pe altcineva. ¹⁷ De fapt, Hristos m'a trimes nu să botez, ci să propovăduiesc Evanghelia: nu cu înţelepciunea vorbirii, ca nu cumva crucea lui Hristos să fie făcută zadarnică. ¹⁸ Fiindcă propovăduirea crucii este o nebunie pentru cei ce sînt pe calea pierzării: dar pentru noi, cari sîntem pe calea mîntuirii, este puterea lui Dumnezeu. ¹⁹ Căci este scris:,,Voi prăpădi înţelepciunea celor înţelepţi, şi voi nimici priceperea celor pricepuţi.`` ²⁰ Unde este înţeleptul? Unde este cărturarul? Unde este vorbăreţul veacului acestuia? N'a prostit Dumnezeu înţelepciunea lumii acesteia? ²¹ Căci întrucît lumea, cu înţelepciunea ei, n'a cunoscut pe Dumnezeu în înţelepciunea lui Dumnezeu, Dumnezeu a găsit cu cale să mîntuiască pe credincioşi prin nebunia propovăduirii crucii. ²² Iudeii, într'adevăr, cer minuni, şi Grecii caută înţelepciune; ²³ dar noi propovăduim pe Hristos cel răstignit, care pentru Iudei este o pricină de poticnire, şi pentru Neamuri o nebunie; ²⁴ dar pentru cei chemaţi, fie Iudei, fie Greci, este puterea şi înţelepciunea lui Dumnezeu. ²⁵ Căci nebunia lui Dumnezeu, este mai înţeleaptă decît oamenii; şi slăbiciunea lui Dumnezeu, este mai tare decît oamenii. ²⁶ De pildă, fraţilor, uitaţi-vă la voi cari aţi fost chemaţi: printre voi nu sînt mulţi înţelepţi în felul lumii, nici mulţi puternici, nici mulţi de neam ales. ²⁷ Dar Dumnezeu a ales lucrurile nebune ale lumii, ca să facă de ruşine pe cele înţelepte. Dumnezeu a ales lucrurile slabe ale lumii, ca să facă de ruşine pe cele tari. ²⁸ Şi Dumnezeu a ales lucrurile josnice ale lumii, şi lucrurile dispreţuite, ba încă lucrurile cari nu sînt, ca să nimicească pe cele ce sînt; ²⁹ pentruca nimeni să nu se laude înaintea lui Dumnezeu. ³⁰ Şi voi, prin El, sînteţi în Hristos Isus. El a fost făcut de Dumnezeu pentru noi înţelepciune, neprihănire, sfinţire şi răscumpărare, ³¹ pentruca, după cum este scris:,,Cine se laudă, să se laude în Domnul.``

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Павло, волею Божою покликаний за апостола Ісуса Христа, і брат Состен, ² Божій Церкві, що в Коринті, посвяченим у Христі Ісусі, покликаним святим, зо всіма, що на всякому місті прикликають Ім'я Господа нашого Ісуса Христа, їхнього і нашого, ³ благодать вам і мир від Бога Отця нашого й Господа Ісуса Христа! ⁴ Я завжди дякую моєму Богові за вас, через Божу благодать, що була вам дана в Христі Ісусі, ⁵ бо ви всім збагатилися в Ньому, словом усяким і всяким знанням, ⁶ бо свідоцтво Христове між вами утвердилось, ⁷ так що не маєте недостачі в жаднім дарі благодаті ви, що очікуєте з'явлення Господа нашого Ісуса Христа. ⁸ Він вас утвердить до кінця неповинними бути дня Господа нашого Ісуса Христа! ⁹ Вірний Бог, що ви через Нього покликані до спільноти Сина Його Ісуса Христа, Господа нашого. ¹⁰ Тож благаю вас, браття, Ім'ям Господа нашого Ісуса Христа, щоб ви всі говорили те саме, і щоб не було поміж вами поділення, але щоб були ви поєднані в однім розумінні та в думці одній! ¹¹ Бо стало відомо мені про вас, мої браття, від Хлоїних, що між вами суперечки. ¹² А кажу я про те, що з вас кожен говорить: я ж Павлів, а я Аполлосів, а я Кифин, а я Христів. ¹³ Чи ж Христос поділився? Чи ж Павло був розп'ятий за вас? Чи в Павлове ім'я ви христились? ¹⁴ Дякую Богові, що я ані одного з вас не христив, окрім Кріспа та Гая, ¹⁵ щоб ніхто не сказав, ніби я охристив був у ймення своє. ¹⁶ Охристив же був я й дім Степанів; більш не знаю, чи христив кого іншого я. ¹⁷ Бо Христос не послав мене, щоб христити, а звіщати Євангелію, і то не в мудрості слова, щоб безсилим не став хрест Христа. ¹⁸ Бож слово про хреста тим, що гинуть, то глупота, а для нас, що спасаємось, Сила Божа! ¹⁹ Бо написано: Я погублю мудрість премудрих, а розум розумних відкину! ²⁰ Де мудрий? Де книжник? Де дослідувач віку цього? Хіба Бог мудрість світу цього не змінив на глупоту? ²¹ Через те ж, що світ мудрістю не зрозумів Бога в мудрості Божій, то Богові вгодно було спасти віруючих через дурість проповіді. ²² Бо й юдеї жадають ознак, і греки пошукують мудрости, ²³ а ми проповідуємо Христа розп'ятого, для юдеїв згіршення, а для греків безумство, ²⁴ а для самих покликаних юдеїв та греків Христа, Божу силу та Божую мудрість! ²⁵ Бо Боже й немудре розумніше воно від людей, а Боже немічне сильніше воно від людей! ²⁶ Дивіться бо, браття, на ваших покликаних, що небагато-хто мудрі за тілом, небагато-хто сильні, небагато-хто шляхетні. ²⁷ Але Бог вибрав немудре світу, щоб засоромити мудрих, і немічне світу Бог вибрав, щоб засоромити сильне, ²⁸ і простих світу, і погорджених, і незначних вибрав Бог, щоб значне знівечити, ²⁹ так щоб не хвалилося перед Богом жадне тіло. ³⁰ А з Нього ви в Христі Ісусі, що став нам мудрістю від Бога, праведністю ж, і освяченням, і відкупленням, ³¹ щоб було, як написано: Хто хвалиться, нехай хвалиться Господом!

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Павел, покликаний апостол Ісуса Христа, волею Божою, та Состен брат, ² церкві Божій в Коринтї, осьвяченим в Ісусї Христї, покликаним сьвятим, з усїма, которі призивають імя Господа нашого Ісуса Христа, на всякому місці, у них і в нас: ³ благодать вам і впокій од Бога, Отця нашого, і Господа Ісуса Христа. ⁴ Дякую Богу моєму всякого часу за вас про благодать Божу, дану вам в Христї Ісусї, ⁵ тим, що у всьому ви збагатились ним у всякім слові і всякім знанню, ⁶ яко ж сьвідченнє Христове утверджено в вас, ⁷ так що ви не маєте недостатку нї в однім даруванню, дожидаючись одкриття Господа нашого Ісуса Христа, ⁸ котрий і утвердить вас до кінця, щоб ви були невинуваті в день Господа нашого Ісуса Христа. ⁹ Вірен бо Бог, через котрого покликані ви в общеннє Сина Його, Ісуса Хрнста, Господа нашого. ¹⁰ Благаю ж вас, браттє, імям Господа нашого Ісуса Христа, щоб те саме говорили ви всі, і щоб не було між вами розділення, а щоб були з'єднані в одному розумінню і в одній мислі. ¹¹ Звіщено бо менї про вас, браттє моє, від Хлоїних, що між вами єсть незгодини. ¹² Кажу ж про те, що кожен з вас говорить: Я Павлів; а я Аполосів; а я КиФіїн; а я Христів. ¹³ Хиба поділивсь Христос? хиба Павла розпято за вас? або в імя Павлове хрестились ви? ¹⁴ Дякую Богові, що я нікого з вас не охрестив, тільки Криспа та Гая, ¹⁵ щоб хто не сказав, що в імя моє я охрестив. ¹⁶ Хрестив же я й СтеФанів дім; більш не знаю, чи кого другого хрестив. ¹⁷ Не послав бо мене Христос хрестити, а благовістити, не в премудрости слова, щоб не опустїв хрест Христів. ¹⁸ Слово бо про хрест погибаючим дурощі, нам же, що спасаємось, сила Божа. ¹⁹ Писано бо: Погублю премудрість премудрих, і розум розумних відкину. ²⁰ Де мудрець? де письменник? де дослїджуватель віку сього? Чи не обернув Бог премудрість сьвіта сього в дурощі? ²¹ Коли бо у премудрості Божій не пізнав сьвіт Бога премудростю, то зводив Бог дурощами проповіді спасти віруючих. ²² Коли і Жиди ознак доповняють ся, і Греки премудростї шукають, ²³ ми проповідуємо Христа рознятого, Жидам поблазнь, Грекам же дурощі, ²⁴ самим же покликаним, і Жидам і Грекам, Божу силу й Божу премудрість: ²⁵ тим що немудре Боже мудріще від людей, а неміцне Боже кріпше людей. ²⁶ Спогляньте бо ва покликаннє ваше, браттє, що небагато (між вами) премудрих по тїлу, небагато сильних, небагато благородних; ²⁷ ні, немудре сьвіїа вибрав Бог, щоб осоромити премудрих, і безсильне сьвіта вибрав Бог, щоб осоромити потужне, ²⁸ і незначне сьвіту і погорджене вибрав Бог, і те чого нема, щоб те, що є, в нїщо обернути, ²⁹ щоб не велсчалось нїяке тїло перед Ним. ³⁰ З Него ж і ви в Христї Ісусї, що став ся нам премудростю від Бога, і праведностю, і освяченнєм, і викупленнєм, ³¹ щоб, яко ж писано: Хто хвалить ся, в Господі хвалив ся.
