| 1 Παῦλος κλητὸς ἀπόστολος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ διὰ θελήματος θεοῦ, καὶ Σωσθένης ὁ ἀδελφός, 2 τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ τῇ οὔσῃ ἐν Κορίνθῳ, ἡγιασμένοις ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, κλητοῖς ἁγίοις, σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ, αὐτῶν καὶ ἡμῶν: 3 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. 4 εὐχαριστῶ τῷ θεῷ μου πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῇ χάριτι τοῦ θεοῦ τῇ δοθείσῃ ὑμῖν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, 5 ὅτι ἐν παντὶ ἐπλουτίσθητε ἐν αὐτῷ, ἐν παντὶ λόγῳ καὶ πάσῃ γνώσει, 6 καθὼς τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐβεβαιώθη ἐν ὑμῖν, 7 ὥστε ὑμᾶς μὴ ὑστερεῖσθαι ἐν μηδενὶ χαρίσματι, ἀπεκδεχομένους τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ: 8 ὃς καὶ βεβαιώσει ὑμᾶς ἕως τέλους ἀνεγκλήτους ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. 9 πιστὸς ὁ θεὸς δι' οὗ ἐκλήθητε εἰς κοινωνίαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν. | 1 Paul, whom the will of God has called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes, who is their brother, 2 send greeting to the church of God at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be holy; with all those who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every dependency of theirs, and so of ours.[1] 3 Grace and peace be yours from God, who is our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I give thanks to my God continually in your name for that grace of God which has been bestowed upon you in Jesus Christ; 5 that you have become rich, through him, in every way, in eloquence and in knowledge of every sort; 6 so fully has the message of Christ established itself among you. 7 And now there is no gift in which you are still lacking; you have only to look forward to the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8 He will strengthen your resolution to the last, so that no charge will lie against you on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ comes. 9 The God, who has called you into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful to his promise. | 1 Paulus vocatus Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Sosthenes frater, 2 ecclesiæ 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. 3 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo. 4 Gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei, quæ data est vobis in Christo Jesu: 5 quod in omnibus divites facti estis in illo, in omni verbo, et in omni scientia. 6 Sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis: 7 ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia, exspectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Jesu Christi, 8 qui et confirmabit vos usque in finem sine crimine, in die adventus Domini nostri Jesu Christi. 9 Fidelis Deus: per quem vocati estis in societatem filii ejus Jesu Christi Domini nostri. |
| 10 παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα τὸ αὐτὸ λέγητε πάντες, καὶ μὴ ᾖ ἐν ὑμῖν σχίσματα, ἦτε δὲ κατηρτισμένοι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ νοῒ καὶ ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ γνώμῃ. 11 ἐδηλώθη γάρ μοι περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί μου, ὑπὸ τῶν Χλόης ὅτι ἔριδες ἐν ὑμῖν εἰσιν. 12 λέγω δὲ τοῦτο, ὅτι ἕκαστος ὑμῶν λέγει, ἐγὼ μέν εἰμι Παύλου, ἐγὼ δὲ Ἀπολλῶ, ἐγὼ δὲ Κηφᾶ, ἐγὼ δὲ Χριστοῦ. 13 μεμέρισται ὁ Χριστός; μὴ Παῦλος ἐσταυρώθη ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, ἢ εἰς τὸ ὄνομα Παύλου ἐβαπτίσθητε; 14 εὐχαριστῶ [τῷ θεῷ] ὅτι οὐδένα ὑμῶν ἐβάπτισα εἰ μὴ Κρίσπον καὶ Γάϊον, 15 ἵνα μή τις εἴπῃ ὅτι εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα ἐβαπτίσθητε. 16 ἐβάπτισα δὲ καὶ τὸν Στεφανᾶ οἶκον: λοιπὸν οὐκ οἶδα εἴ τινα ἄλλον ἐβάπτισα. | 10 Only I entreat you, brethren, as you love the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, use, all of you, the same language. There must be no divisions among you; you must be restored to unity of mind and purpose. 11 The account I have of you, my brethren, from Chloe’s household, is that there are dissensions among you; 12 each of you, I mean, has a cry of his own, I am for Paul, I am for Apollo, I am for Cephas, I am for Christ. 13 What, has Christ been divided up? Was it Paul that was crucified for you? Was it in Paul’s name that you were baptized? 14 Thank God I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius; 15 so that no one can say it was in my name you were baptized. 16 (Yes, and I did baptize the household of Stephanas; I do not know that I baptized anyone else.) | 10 Obsecro 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. 11 Significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab iis, qui sunt Chloës, quia contentiones sunt inter vos. 12 Hoc autem dico, quod unusquisque vestrum dicit: Ego quidem sum Pauli: ego autem Apollo: ego vero Cephæ: ego autem Christi. 13 Divisus est Christus? numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis? aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis? 14 Gratias ago Deo, quod neminem vestrum baptizavi, nisi Crispum et Caium: 15 ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati estis. 16 Baptizavi autem et Stephanæ domum: ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim. |
| 17 οὐ γὰρ ἀπέστειλέν με Χριστὸς βαπτίζειν ἀλλὰ εὐαγγελίζεσθαι, οὐκ ἐν σοφίᾳ λόγου, ἵνα μὴ κενωθῇ ὁ σταυρὸς τοῦ Χριστοῦ. 18 ὁ λόγος γὰρ ὁ τοῦ σταυροῦ τοῖς μὲν ἀπολλυμένοις μωρία ἐστίν, τοῖς δὲ σῳζομένοις ἡμῖν δύναμις θεοῦ ἐστιν. 19 γέγραπται γάρ, ἀπολῶ τὴν σοφίαν τῶν σοφῶν, καὶ τὴν σύνεσιν τῶν συνετῶν ἀθετήσω. 20 ποῦ σοφός; ποῦ γραμματεύς; ποῦ συζητητὴς τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου; οὐχὶ ἐμώρανεν ὁ θεὸς τὴν σοφίαν τοῦ κόσμου; 21 ἐπειδὴ γὰρ ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἔγνω ὁ κόσμος διὰ τῆς σοφίας τὸν θεόν, εὐδόκησεν ὁ θεὸς διὰ τῆς μωρίας τοῦ κηρύγματος σῶσαι τοὺς πιστεύοντας. 22 ἐπειδὴ καὶ Ἰουδαῖοι σημεῖα αἰτοῦσιν καὶ Ἕλληνες σοφίαν ζητοῦσιν, 23 ἡμεῖς δὲ κηρύσσομεν Χριστὸν ἐσταυρωμένον, Ἰουδαίοις μὲν σκάνδαλον ἔθνεσιν δὲ μωρίαν, 24 αὐτοῖς δὲ τοῖς κλητοῖς, Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησιν, Χριστὸν θεοῦ δύναμιν καὶ θεοῦ σοφίαν: 25 ὅτι τὸ μωρὸν τοῦ θεοῦ σοφώτερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐστίν, καὶ τὸ ἀσθενὲς τοῦ θεοῦ ἰσχυρότερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων. 26 Βλέπετε γὰρ τὴν κλῆσιν ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι οὐ πολλοὶ σοφοὶ κατὰ σάρκα, οὐ πολλοὶ δυνατοί, οὐ πολλοὶ εὐγενεῖς: 27 ἀλλὰ τὰ μωρὰ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ θεὸς ἵνα καταισχύνῃ τοὺς σοφούς, καὶ τὰ ἀσθενῆ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ θεὸς ἵνα καταισχύνῃ τὰ ἰσχυρά, 28 καὶ τὰ ἀγενῆ τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τὰ ἐξουθενημένα ἐξελέξατο ὁ θεός, τὰ μὴ ὄντα, ἵνα τὰ ὄντα καταργήσῃ, 29 ὅπως μὴ καυχήσηται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ. 30 ἐξ αὐτοῦ δὲ ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, ὃς ἐγενήθη σοφία ἡμῖν ἀπὸ θεοῦ, δικαιοσύνη τε καὶ ἁγιασμὸς καὶ ἀπολύτρωσις, 31 ἵνα καθὼς γέγραπται, ὁ καυχώμενος ἐν κυρίῳ καυχάσθω. | 17 Christ did not send me to baptize; he sent me to preach the gospel; not with an orator’s cleverness, for so the cross of Christ might be robbed of its force.[2] 18 To those who court their own ruin, the message of the cross is but folly; to us, who are on the way to salvation, it is the evidence of God’s power. 19 So we read in scripture, I will confound the wisdom of wise men, disappoint the calculations of the prudent.[3] 20 What has become of the wise men, the scribes, the philosophers of this age we live in? Must we not say that God has turned our worldly wisdom to folly? 21 When God shewed us his wisdom, the world, with all its wisdom, could not find its way to God;[4] and now God would use a foolish thing, our preaching, to save those who will believe in it. 22 Here are the Jews asking for signs and wonders, here are the Greeks intent on their philosophy; 23 but what we preach is Christ crucified; to the Jews, a discouragement, to the Gentiles, mere folly; 24 but to us who have been called, Jew and Gentile alike, Christ the power of God, Christ the wisdom of God. 25 So much wiser than men is God’s foolishness; so much stronger than men is God’s weakness. 26 Consider, brethren, the circumstances of your own calling; not many of you are wise, in the world’s fashion, not many powerful, not many well born. 27 No, God has chosen what the world holds foolish, so as to abash the wise, God has chosen what the world holds weak, so as to abash the strong.[5] 28 God has chosen what the world holds base and contemptible, nay, has chosen what is nothing, so as to bring to nothing what is now in being; 29 no human creature was to have any ground for boasting, in the presence of God. 30 It is from him that you take your origin, through Christ Jesus, whom God gave us to be all our wisdom, our justification, our sanctification, and our atonement; 31 so that the scripture might be fulfilled, If anyone boasts, let him make his boast in the Lord.[6] | 17 Non enim misit me Christus baptizare, sed evangelizare: non in sapientia verbi, ut non evacuetur crux Christi. 18 Verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est: iis autem qui salvi fiunt, id est nobis, Dei virtus est. 19 Scriptum est enim: Perdam sapientiam sapientium, et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo. 20 Ubi sapiens? ubi scriba? ubi conquisitor hujus sæculi? Nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam hujus mundi? 21 Nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum: placuit Deo per stultitiam prædicationis salvos facere credentes. 22 Quoniam et Judæi signa petunt, et Græci sapientiam quærunt: 23 nos autem prædicamus Christum crucifixum: Judæis quidem scandalum, gentibus autem stultitiam, 24 ipsis autem vocatis Judæis, atque Græcis Christum Dei virtutem, et Dei sapientia: 25 quia quod stultum est Dei, sapientius est hominibus: et quod infirmum est Dei, fortius est hominibus. 26 Videte enim vocationem vestram, fratres, quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem, non multi potentes, non multi nobiles: 27 sed quæ stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat sapientes: et infirma mundi elegit Deus, ut confundat fortia: 28 et ignobilia mundi, et contemptibilia elegit Deus, et ea quæ non sunt, ut ea quæ sunt destrueret: 29 ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu ejus. 30 Ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Jesu, qui factus est nobis sapientia a Deo, et justitia, et sanctificatio, et redemptio: 31 ut quemadmodum scriptum est: Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur. |
[1] The sense appears to be, that St Paul sends greeting to the Christians, not only in Corinth itself, but in the other towns of the province of Achaia (cf. II Cor. 1.1), which were politically dependent on it. These, it appears, had derived their knowledge of the gospel from it, and so ultimately from the preaching of St Paul. That he associates Sosthenes with himself in this greeting, makes it probable that we should identify him with the person mentioned in Ac. 18.17.
[2] Verses 17 and following: It is probable that St Paul is thinking, here, of the comparatively small success which his preaching had in Athens, just before he went to Corinth (Ac. 17). It is possible, also, that some of the Corinthians had contrasted his preaching unfavourably with the eloquence of Apollo (cf. Ac. 18.24-28).
[3] Is. 29.14.
[4] ‘When God shewed us his wisdom’, etc. Others understand this sentence as meaning, ‘God’s wisdom had decreed that the world, with all its wisdom, should not find its way to God’.
[5] ‘What the world holds foolish’, etc.; literally, ‘the foolish things of the world’, etc.
[6] Jer. 9.23.
