I Corinthians 1

Paulus vocatus apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei et Sosthenes frater

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

ecclesiae Dei quae est Corinthi sanctificatis in Christo Iesu vocatis sanctis cum omnibus qui invocant nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi in omni loco ipsorum et nostro

Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei quae data est vobis in Christo Iesu

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

quia in omnibus divites facti estis in illo in omni verbo et in omni scientia

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia expectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Iesu Christi

So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

qui et confirmabit vos usque ad finem sine crimine in die adventus Domini nostri Iesu Christi

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

fidelis Deus per quem vocati estis in societatem Filii eius Iesu Christi Domini nostri

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

obsecro autem vos fratres per nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi ut id ipsum dicatis omnes et non sint in vobis scismata sitis autem perfecti in eodem sensu et in eadem sententia

Now I beseech you, brethren, by 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 perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab his qui sunt Chloes quia contentiones inter vos sunt

For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

hoc autem dico quod unusquisque vestrum dicit ego quidem sum Pauli ego autem Apollo ego vero Cephae ego autem Christi

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

divisus est Christus numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis

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

gratias ago Deo quod neminem vestrum baptizavi nisi Crispum et Gaium

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

ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati sitis

Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

baptizavi autem et Stephanae domum ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim

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

non enim misit me Christus baptizare sed evangelizare non in sapientia verbi ut non evacuetur crux Christi

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est his autem qui salvi fiunt id est nobis virtus Dei est

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

scriptum est enim perdam sapientiam sapientium et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

ubi sapiens ubi scriba ubi conquisitor huius saeculi nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam huius mundi

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum placuit Deo per stultitiam praedicationis salvos facere credentes

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

quoniam et Iudaei signa petunt et Graeci sapientiam quaerunt

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

nos autem praedicamus Christum crucifixum Iudaeis quidem scandalum gentibus autem stultitiam

But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

ipsis autem vocatis Iudaeis atque Graecis Christum Dei virtutem et Dei sapientiam

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

quia quod stultum est Dei sapientius est hominibus et quod infirmum est Dei fortius est hominibus

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

videte enim vocationem vestram fratres quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem non multi potentes non multi nobiles

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

sed quae stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus ut confundat sapientes et infirma mundi elegit Deus ut confundat fortia

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

et ignobilia mundi et contemptibilia elegit Deus et quae non sunt ut ea quae sunt destrueret

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu eius

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Iesu qui factus est sapientia nobis a Deo et iustitia et sanctificatio et redemptio

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

ut quemadmodum scriptum est qui gloriatur in Domino glorietur

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