Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
1παυλοσ κλητοσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου δια θεληματοσ θεου και σωσθενησ ο αδελφοσ
2to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
2τη 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.
3χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
4I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
4ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντοτε περι υμων επι τη χαριτι του θεου τη δοθειση υμιν εν χριστω ιησου
5that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
5οτι εν παντι επλουτισθητε εν αυτω εν παντι λογω και παση γνωσει
6even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
6καθωσ το μαρτυριον του χριστου εβεβαιωθη εν υμιν
7so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
7ωστε υμασ μη υστερεισθαι εν μηδενι χαρισματι απεκδεχομενουσ την αποκαλυψιν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
8who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8οσ και βεβαιωσει υμασ εωσ τελουσ ανεγκλητουσ εν τη ημερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
9God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
9πιστοσ ο θεοσ δι ου εκληθητε εισ κοινωνιαν του υιου αυτου ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων
10Now I beg 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.
10παρακαλω 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 reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.
11εδηλωθη γαρ μοι περι υμων αδελφοι μου υπο των χλοησ οτι εριδεσ εν υμιν εισιν
12Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
12λεγω 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 into the name of Paul?
13μεμερισται 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,
14ευχαριστω τω θεω οτι ουδενα υμων εβαπτισα ει μη κρισπον και γαιον
15so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
15ινα μη τισ ειπη οτι εισ το εμον ονομα εβαπτισα
16(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
16εβαπτισα δε και τον στεφανα οικον λοιπον ουκ οιδα ει τινα αλλον εβαπτισα
17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.
17ου γαρ απεστειλεν με χριστοσ βαπτιζειν αλλ ευαγγελιζεσθαι ουκ εν σοφια λογου ινα μη κενωθη ο σταυροσ του χριστου
18For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
18ο 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. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
19γεγραπται γαρ απολω την σοφιαν των σοφων και την συνεσιν των συνετων αθετησω
20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
20που σοφοσ που γραμματευσ που συζητητησ του αιωνοσ τουτου ουχι εμωρανεν ο θεοσ την σοφιαν του κοσμου τουτου
21For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
21επειδη 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 ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
22επειδη και ιουδαιοι σημειον αιτουσιν και ελληνεσ σοφιαν ζητουσιν
23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
23ημεισ δε κηρυσσομεν χριστον εσταυρωμενον ιουδαιοισ μεν σκανδαλον ελλησιν δε μωριαν
24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
24αυτοισ 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.
25οτι το μωρον του θεου σοφωτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν και το ασθενεσ του θεου ισχυροτερον των ανθρωπων εστιν
26For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
26βλεπετε γαρ την κλησιν υμων αδελφοι οτι ου πολλοι σοφοι κατα σαρκα ου πολλοι δυνατοι ου πολλοι ευγενεισ
27but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
27αλλα τα μωρα του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεοσ ινα τουσ σοφουσ καταισχυνη και τα ασθενη του κοσμου εξελεξατο ο θεοσ ινα καταισχυνη τα ισχυρα
28God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
28και τα αγενη του κοσμου και τα εξουθενημενα εξελεξατο ο θεοσ και τα μη οντα ινα τα οντα καταργηση
29that no flesh should boast before God.
29οπωσ μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον του θεου
30Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
30εξ 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 boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
31ινα καθωσ γεγραπται ο καυχωμενοσ εν κυριω καυχασθω
