1:1

Παυλος κλητος αποστολος Χριστου Ιησου δια θεληματος Θεου και Σωσθενης ο αδελφος

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

1:2

Τη εκκλησια του Θεου τη ουση εν Κορινθω ηγιασμενοις εν Χριστω Ιησου κλητοις αγιοις συν πασιν τοις επικαλουμενοις το ονομα του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου εν παντι τοπω αυτων και ημων

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:

1:3

Χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου

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

1:4

Ευχαριστω τω Θεω μου παντοτε περι υμων επι τη χαριτι του Θεου τη δοθειση υμιν εν Χριστω Ιησου

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

1:5

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

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

1:6

καθως το μαρτυριον του Χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

1:7

ωστε υμας μη υστερεισθαι εν μηδενι χαρισματι απεκδεχομενους την αποκαλυψιν του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου

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

1:8

ος και βεβαιωσει υμας εως τελους ανεγκλητους εν τη ημερα του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου

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

1:9

πιστος ο Θεος δι ου εκληθητε εις κοινωνιαν του Υιου αυτου Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων

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

1:10

Παρακαλω δε υμας αδελφοι δια του ονοματος του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου ινα το αυτο λεγητε παντες και μη η εν υμιν σχισματα ητε δε κατηρτισμενοι εν τω αυτω νοι και εν τη αυτη γνωμη

Now I beseech you, brethren, 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.

1:11

εδηλωθη γαρ μοι περι υμων αδελφοι μου υπο των Χλοης οτι εριδες εν υμιν εισιν

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

1:12

λεγω δε τουτο οτι εκαστος υμων λεγει Εγω μεν ειμι Παυλου Εγω δε Απολλω Εγω δε Κηφα Εγω δε Χριστου

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.

1:13

Μεμερισται ο Χριστος μη Παυλος εσταυρωθη υπερ υμων η εις το ονομα Παυλου εβαπτισθητε

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

¹

1:14

ευχαριστω τω θεω οτι ουδενα υμων εβαπτισα ει μη Κρισπον και Γαιον

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

1:15

ινα μη τις ειπη οτι εις το εμον ονομα εβαπτισθητε

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

1:16

εβαπτισα δε και τον Στεφανα οικον λοιπον ουκ οιδα ει τινα αλλον εβαπτισα

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

1:17

ου γαρ απεστειλεν με Χριστος βαπτιζειν αλλα ευαγγελιζεσθαι ουκ εν σοφια λογου ινα μη κενωθη ο σταυρος του Χριστου

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.

1:18

Ο λογος γαρ ο του σταυρου τοις μεν απολλυμενοις μωρια εστιν τοις δε σωζομενοις ημιν δυναμις Θεου εστιν

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

1:19

γεγραπται γαρ Απολω την σοφιαν των σοφων και την συνεσιν των συνετων αθετησω

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

1:20

Που σοφος που γραμματευς που συζητητης του αιωνος τουτου ουχι εμωρανεν ο Θεος την σοφιαν του κοσμου

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?

1:21

επειδη γαρ εν τη σοφια του Θεου ουκ εγνω ο κοσμος δια της σοφιας τον Θεον ευδοκησεν ο Θεος δια της μωριας του κηρυγματος σωσαι τους πιστευοντας

For 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.

1:22

Επειδη και Ιουδαιοι σημεια αιτουσιν και Ελληνες σοφιαν ζητουσιν

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

1:23

ημεις δε κηρυσσομεν Χριστον εσταυρωμενον Ιουδαιοις μεν σκανδαλον εθνεσιν δε μωριαν

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

1:24

αυτοις δε τοις κλητοις Ιουδαιοις τε και Ελλησιν Χριστον Θεου δυναμιν και Θεου σοφιαν

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

1:25

Οτι το μωρον του Θεου σοφωτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν και το ασθενες του Θεου ισχυροτερον των ανθρωπων

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

1:26

Βλεπετε γαρ την κλησιν υμων αδελφοι οτι ου πολλοι σοφοι κατα σαρκα ου πολλοι δυνατοι ου πολλοι ευγενεις

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

1:27

αλλα τα μωρα του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο Θεος ινα καταισχυνη τους σοφους και τα ασθενη του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο Θεος ινα καταισχυνη τα ισχυρα

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;

1:28

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

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:

1:29

οπως μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον του Θεου

that no flesh should glory before God.

1:30

Εξ αυτου δε υμεις εστε εν Χριστω Ιησου ος εγενηθη σοφια ημιν απο Θεου δικαιοσυνη τε και αγιασμος και απολυτρωσις

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

1:31

ινα καθως γεγραπται Ο καυχωμενος εν Κυριω καυχασθω

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