1 Corinthians 1

1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

παυλος, κλητος αποστολος ιησου χριστου δια θεληματος θεου, και σωσθενης ο αδελφος,

2To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

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 τε και ημων·

3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου.

4I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,

ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντοτε περι υμων επι τη χαριτι του θεου τη δοθειση υμιν εν χριστω ιησου,

5that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge,

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

6even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

καθως το μαρτυριον του χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν,

7so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

ωστε υμας μη υστερεισθαι εν μηδενι χαρισματι, απεκδεχομενους την αποκαλυψιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου·

8who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

ος και βεβαιωσει υμας εως τελους ανεγκλητους εν τη ημερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου.

9God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

πιστος ο θεος δι ου εκληθητε εις κοινωνιαν του υιου αυτου ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων.

10Now I plead with 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 joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

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.

11For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

εδηλωθη γαρ μοι περι υμων, αδελφοι μου, υπο των χλοης οτι εριδες εν υμιν εισιν.

12Now I say this, that each of you says, 'I am of Paul,' or 'I am of Apollos,' or 'I am of Cephas,' or 'I am of Christ.'

λεγω δε τουτο, οτι εκαστος υμων λεγει· εγω μεν ειμι παυλου, εγω δε απολλω, εγω δε κηφα, εγω δε χριστου.

13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

μεμερισται ο χριστος; μη παυλος εσταυρωθη υπερ υμων; η εις το ονομα παυλου εβαπτισθητε;

14I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

ευχαριστω τω θεω οτι ουδενα υμων εβαπτισα ει μη κρισπον και γαιον,

15lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.

ινα μη τις ειπη οτι εις το εμον ονομα εβαπτισα.

16Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

εβαπτισα δε και τον στεφανα οικον· λοιπον ουκ οιδα ει τινα αλλον εβαπτισα.

17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

ου γαρ απεστειλεν με χριστος βαπτιζειν, αλλ ευαγγελιζεσθαι, ουκ εν σοφια λογου, ινα μη κενωθη ο σταυρος του χριστου.

18For 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.

ο λογος γαρ ο του σταυρου τοις μεν απολλυμενοις μωρια εστιν, τοις δε σωζομενοις ημιν δυναμις θεου εστιν.

19For it is written: 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.'

γεγραπται γαρ· απολω την σοφιαν των σοφων, και την συνεσιν των συνετων αθετησω.

20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

που σοφος; που γραμματευς; που συζητητης του αιωνος τουτου; ουχι εμωρανεν ο θεος την σοφιαν του κοσμου τουτου;

21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

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.

22For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;

επειδη και ιουδαιοι σημειον αιτουσιν και ελληνες σοφιαν ζητουσιν,

23but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,

ημεις δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον, ιουδαιοις μεν σκανδαλον, ελλησιν δε μωριαν,

24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

αυτοις δε τοις κλητοις, ιουδαιοις τε και ελλησιν, χριστον θεου δυναμιν και θεου σοφιαν·

25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

οτι το μωρον του θεου σοφωτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν, και το ασθενες του θεου ισχυροτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν.

26For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

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

27But 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 things which are mighty;

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

28and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,

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

29that no flesh should glory in His presence.

οπως μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον του θεου.

30But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—

εξ αυτου δε υμεις εστε εν χριστω ιησου, ος εγενηθη ημιν σοφια απο θεου, δικαιοσυνη τε και αγιασμος και απολυτρωσις,

31that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.'

ινα, καθως γεγραπται, ο καυχωμενος εν κυριω καυχασθω.
