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

2To 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.

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

4I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,

5That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

7So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10Now 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.

11For 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.

12Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ.

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

14I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;

15Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.

16And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17For 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.

18For 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.

19For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.

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

21For 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.

22For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:

24But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:

27But 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.

28And 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:

29That no flesh should glory in his sight.

30But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:

31That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.

1Paulus vocatus Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Sosthenes frater,

2ecclesiæ Dei, quæ est Corinthi, sanctificatis in Christo Jesu, vocatis sanctis, cum omnibus qui invocant nomen Domini nostri Jesu Christi, in omni loco ipsorum et nostro.

3Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

4Gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei, quæ data est vobis in Christo Jesu:

5quod in omnibus divites facti estis in illo, in omni verbo, et in omni scientia.

6Sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis:

7ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia, exspectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Jesu Christi,

8qui et confirmabit vos usque in finem sine crimine, in die adventus Domini nostri Jesu Christi.

9Fidelis Deus: per quem vocati estis in societatem filii ejus Jesu Christi Domini nostri.

10Obsecro autem vos fratres per nomen Domini nostri Jesu Christi: ut idipsum dicatis omnes, et non sint in vobis schismata: sitis autem perfecti in eodem sensu, et in eadem sententia.

11Significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab iis, qui sunt Chloës, quia contentiones sunt inter vos.

12Hoc autem dico, quod unusquisque vestrum dicit: Ego quidem sum Pauli: ego autem Apollo: ego vero Cephæ: ego autem Christi.

13Divisus est Christus? numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis? aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis?

14Gratias ago Deo, quod neminem vestrum baptizavi, nisi Crispum et Caium:

15ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati estis.

16Baptizavi autem et Stephanæ domum: ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim.

17Non enim misit me Christus baptizare, sed evangelizare: non in sapientia verbi, ut non evacuetur crux Christi.

18Verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est: iis autem qui salvi fiunt, id est nobis, Dei virtus est.

19Scriptum est enim: Perdam sapientiam sapientium, et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo.

20Ubi sapiens? ubi scriba? ubi conquisitor hujus sæculi? Nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam hujus mundi?

21Nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum: placuit Deo per stultitiam prædicationis salvos facere credentes.

22Quoniam et Judæi signa petunt, et Græci sapientiam quærunt:

23nos autem prædicamus Christum crucifixum: Judæis quidem scandalum, gentibus autem stultitiam,

24ipsis autem vocatis Judæis, atque Græcis Christum Dei virtutem, et Dei sapientia:

25quia quod stultum est Dei, sapientius est hominibus: et quod infirmum est Dei, fortius est hominibus.

26Videte enim vocationem vestram, fratres, quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem, non multi potentes, non multi nobiles:

27sed quæ stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat sapientes: et infirma mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat fortia:

28et ignobilia mundi, et contemptibilia elegit Deus, et ea quæ non sunt, ut ea quæ sunt destrueret:

29ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu ejus.

30Ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Jesu, qui factus est nobis sapientia a Deo, et justitia, et sanctificatio, et redemptio:

31ut quemadmodum scriptum est: Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur.

1Paul, called as an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God; and Sosthenes, a brother:

2to the Church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints with all who are invoking the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs and of ours.

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

4I give thanks to my God continuously for you because of the grace of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus.

5By that grace, in all things, you have become wealthy in him, in every word and in all knowledge.

6And so, the testimony of Christ has been strengthened in you.

7In this way, nothing is lacking to you in any grace, as you await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8And he, too, will strengthen you, even until the end, without guilt, until the day of the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9God is faithful. Through him, you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10And so, I beg you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that every one of you speak in the same way, and that there be no schisms among you. So may you become perfect, with the same mind and with the same judgment.

11For it has been indicated to me, about you, my brothers, by those who are with Chloes, that there are contentions among you.

12Now I say this because each of you is saying: “Certainly, I am of Paul;” “But I am of Apollo;” “Truly, I am of Cephas;” as well as: “I am of Christ.”

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

14I give thanks to God that I have baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15lest anyone say that you have been baptized in my name.

16And I also baptized the household of Stephanus. Other than these, I do not recall if I baptized any others.

17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to evangelize: not through the wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ become empty.

18For the Word of the Cross is certainly foolishness to those who are perishing. But to those who have been saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.

19For it has been written: “I will perish the wisdom of the wise, and I will reject the discernment of the prudent.”

20Where are the wise? Where are the scribes? Where are the truth-seekers of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of this world into foolishness?

21For the world did not know God through wisdom, and so, in the wisdom of God, it pleased God to accomplish the salvation of believers, through the foolishness of our preaching.

22For the Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom.

23But we are preaching Christ crucified. Certainly, to the Jews, this is a scandal, and to the Gentiles, this is foolishness.

24But to those who have been called, Jews as well as Greeks, the Christ is the virtue of God and the wisdom of God.

25For what is foolishness to God is considered wise by men, and that which is weakness to God is considered strong by men.

26So take care of your vocation, brothers. For not many are wise according to the flesh, not many are powerful, not many are noble.

27But God has chosen the foolish of the world, so that he may confound the wise. And God has chosen the weak of the world, so that he may confound the strong.

28And God has chosen the ignoble and contemptible of the world, those who are nothing, so that he may reduce to nothing those who are something.

29So then, nothing that is of the flesh should glory in his sight.

30But you are of him in Christ Jesus, who was made by God to be our wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption.

31And so, in the same way, it was written: “Whoever glories, should glory in the Lord.”
