1. Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
|
1. Paul G3972 called G2822 to be an apostle G652 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 through G1223 the will G2307 of God G2316 , and G2532 Sosthenes G4988 our brother G80 ,
|
|
2. to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, those having been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called-out saints, with all those calling on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
|
2. Unto the G3588 church G1577 of God G2316 which is G5607 at G1722 Corinth G2882 , to them that are sanctified G37 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 , called G2822 to be saints G40 , with G4862 all G3956 that in G1722 every G3956 place G5117 call upon G1941 the G3588 name G3686 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our G2257 Lord G2962 , both G5037 theirs G848 and G2532 ours G2257 :
|
|
3. Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
|
3. Grace G5485 be unto you G5213 , and G2532 peace G1515 , from G575 God G2316 our G2257 Father G3962 , and G2532 from the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 .
|
|
4. I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus,
|
4. I thank G2168 my G3450 God G2316 always G3842 on your behalf G4012 G5216 , for G1909 the G3588 grace G5485 of God G2316 which is given G1325 you G5213 by G1722 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 ;
|
|
5. that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all discourse and all knowledge,
|
5. That G3754 in G1722 every thing G3956 ye are enriched G4148 by G1722 him G846 , in G1722 all G3956 utterance G3056 , and G2532 in all G3956 knowledge G1108 ;
|
|
6. even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
|
6. Even as G2531 the G3588 testimony G3142 of Christ G5547 was confirmed G950 in G1722 you G5213 :
|
|
7. so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
|
7. So that G5620 ye G5209 G3361 come behind G5302 in G1722 no G3367 gift G5486 ; waiting for G553 the G3588 coming G602 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 :
|
|
8. who also will confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
8. Who G3739 shall also G2532 confirm G950 you G5209 unto G2193 the end G5056 , that ye may be blameless G410 in G1722 the G3588 day G2250 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 .
|
|
9. God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
|
9. God G2316 is faithful G4103 , by G1223 whom G3739 ye were called G2564 unto G1519 the fellowship G2842 of his G848 Son G5207 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our G2257 Lord G2962 .
|
|
10. Now I exhort you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you all say the same thing, and there be no divisions among you, but you be united in the same mind and in the same judgment.
|
10. Now G1161 I beseech G3870 you G5209 , brethren G80 , by G1223 the G3588 name G3686 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , that G2443 ye all G3956 speak G3004 the G3588 same thing G846 , and G2532 that there be G5600 no G3361 divisions G4978 among G1722 you G5213 ; but G1161 that ye be G5600 perfectly joined together G2675 in G1722 the G3588 same G846 mind G3563 and G2532 in G1722 the G3588 same G846 judgment G1106 .
|
|
11. For concerning you, my brothers, it was shown to me by those of Chloe that there are strifes among you.
|
11. For G1063 it hath been declared G1213 unto me G3427 of G4012 you G5216 , my G3450 brethren G80 , by G5259 them G3588 which are of the house of Chloe G5514 , that G3754 there are G1526 contentions G2054 among G1722 you G5213 .
|
|
12. But I say this, that each of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
|
12. Now G1161 this G5124 I say G3004 , that G3754 every one G1538 of you G5216 saith G3004 , I G1473 G3303 am G1510 of Paul G3972 ; and G1161 I G1473 of Apollos G625 ; and G1161 I G1473 of Cephas G2786 ; and G1161 I G1473 of Christ G5547 .
|
|
13. Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
|
13. Is Christ G5547 divided G3307 ? was G3361 Paul G3972 crucified G4717 for G5228 you G5216 ? or G2228 were ye baptized G907 in G1519 the G3588 name G3686 of Paul G3972 ?
|
|
14. I give thanks to God that I did not baptize any one of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
|
14. I thank G2168 God G2316 that G3754 I baptized G907 none G3762 of you G5216 , but G1508 Crispus G2921 and G2532 Gaius G1050 ;
|
|
15. that not anyone should say that you were baptized in my name.
|
15. Lest G3363 any G5100 should say G2036 that G3754 I had baptized G907 in G1519 mine own G1699 name G3686 .
|
|
16. And I also baptized the house of Stephanas. For the rest, I do not know if I baptized any other.
|
16. And G1161 I baptized G907 also G2532 the G3588 household G3624 of Stephanas G4734 : besides G3063 , I know G1492 not G3756 whether I baptized any G1536 G907 other G243 .
|
|
17. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to announce the gospel, not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ be made of no effect.
|
17. For G1063 Christ G5547 sent G649 me G3165 not G3756 to baptize G907 , but G235 to preach the gospel G2097 : not G3756 with G1722 wisdom G4678 of words G3056 , lest G3363 the G3588 cross G4716 of Christ G5547 should be made of none effect G2758 .
|
|
18. For the Word of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God.
|
18. For G1063 the G3588 preaching G3056 of G3588 the G3588 cross G4716 is G2076 to them that perish G622 G3303 foolishness G3472 ; but G1161 unto us G2254 which G3588 are saved G4982 it is G2076 the power G1411 of God G2316 .
|
|
19. For it has been written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the understanding ones." Isa. 29:14
|
19. For G1063 it is written G1125 , I will destroy G622 the G3588 wisdom G4678 of the G3588 wise G4680 , and G2532 will bring to nothing G114 the G3588 understanding G4907 of the G3588 prudent G4908 .
|
|
20. Where is the wise? Where the scribe? Where the lawyer of this world? Did God not make the wisdom of this world foolish?
|
20. Where G4226 is the wise G4680 ? where G4226 is the scribe G1122 ? where G4226 is the disputer G4804 of this G5127 world G165 ? hath not G3780 God G2316 made foolish G3471 the G3588 wisdom G4678 of this G5127 world G2889 ?
|
|
21. For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save the ones believing.
|
21. For G1063 after that G1894 in G1722 the G3588 wisdom G4678 of God G2316 the G3588 world G2889 by G1223 wisdom G4678 knew G1097 not G3756 God G2316 , it pleased G2106 God G2316 by G1223 the G3588 foolishness G3472 of preaching G2782 to save G4982 them that believe G4100 .
|
|
22. And since Jews ask for a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,
|
22. For G1894 the G2532 Jews G2453 require G154 a sign G4592 , and G2532 the Greeks G1672 seek after G2212 wisdom G4678 :
|
|
23. we, on the other hand, preach Christ crucified (truly an offense to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks),
|
23. But G1161 we G2249 preach G2784 Christ G5547 crucified G4717 , unto the Jews G2453 a G3303 stumblingblock G4625 , and G1161 unto the Greeks G1672 foolishness G3472 ;
|
|
24. but to the called out ones, both to Jews and to Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
|
24. But G1161 unto them G846 which are called G2822 , both G5037 Jews G2453 and G2532 Greeks G1672 , Christ G5547 the power G1411 of God G2316 , and G2532 the wisdom G4678 of God G2316 .
|
|
25. because the foolish thing of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men.
|
25. Because G3754 the G3588 foolishness G3474 of God G2316 is G2076 wiser G4680 than men G444 ; and G2532 the G3588 weakness G772 of God G2316 is G2076 stronger G2478 than men G444 .
|
|
26. For you see your calling, brothers, that there are not many wise according to flesh, nor many powerful, not many wellborn.
|
26. For G1063 ye see G991 your G5216 calling G2821 , brethren G80 , how that G3754 not G3756 many G4183 wise men G4680 after G2596 the flesh G4561 , not G3756 many G4183 mighty G1415 , not G3756 many G4183 noble G2104 , are called :
|
|
27. But God chose the foolish things of the world that the wise might be put to shame, and God chose the weak things of the world so that He might put to shame the strong things.
|
27. But G235 God G2316 hath chosen G1586 the G3588 foolish things G3474 of the G3588 world G2889 to G2443 confound G2617 the G3588 wise G4680 ; and G2532 God G2316 hath chosen G1586 the G3588 weak things G772 of the G3588 world G2889 to G2443 confound G2617 the things which are mighty G2478 ;
|
|
28. And God chose the low-born of the world, and the despised, and the things that are not, so that He might bring to nothing the things that are,
|
28. And G2532 base things G36 of the G3588 world G2889 , and G2532 things which are despised G1848 , hath God G2316 chosen G1586 , yea, and G2532 things G3588 which are G5607 not G3361 , to G2443 bring to naught G2673 things that are G5607 :
|
|
29. so that no flesh might glory in His presence.
|
29. That G3704 no G3956 G3361 flesh G4561 should glory G2744 in his presence G1799 G846 .
|
|
30. But of Him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, both righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
|
30. But G1161 of G1537 him G846 are G2075 ye G5210 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 , who G3739 of G575 God G2316 is made G1096 unto us G2254 wisdom G4678 , and G5037 righteousness G1343 , and G2532 sanctification G38 , and G2532 redemption G629 :
|
|
31. so that even as it has been written, "He that glories, let him glory in" the "Lord." Jer. 9:24
|
31. That G2443 , according as G2531 it is written G1125 , He G3588 that glorieth G2744 , let him glory G2744 in G1722 the Lord G2962 .
