Salutation
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord[a] and ours:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I give thanks to my[b] God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus, 5 for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind— 6 just as the testimony of[c] Christ has been strengthened among you— 7 so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8 He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Divisions in the Church
10 Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[d] by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you should be in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you should be united in the same mind and the same purpose. 11 For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters.[e] 12 What I mean is that each of you says, ‘I belong to Paul’, or ‘I belong to Apollos’, or ‘I belong to Cephas’, or ‘I belong to Christ.’ 13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God[f] that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to proclaim the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its power.
Christ the Power and Wisdom of God
18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written,
‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.’
20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, 23 but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.
26 Consider your own call, brothers and sisters:[g] not many of you were wise by human standards,[h] not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing things that are, 29 so that no one[i] might boast in the presence of God. 30 He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 in order that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in[j] the Lord.’

Ang Biblia (1978)
1 Si Pablo, na (A)tinawag na maging apostol ni Jesucristo (B)sa pamamagitan ng kalooban ng Dios, at (C)si Sostenes na ating kapatid,
2 Sa iglesia ng Dios na nasa (D)Corinto, sa makatuwid baga'y sa mga pinapagingbanal kay Cristo Jesus, na (E)tinawag na (F)mangagbanal, na kasama ng lahat ng mga nagsisitawag sa bawa't dako, sa pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo, na kanila at ating Panginoon:
3 Sumainyo nawa ang biyaya at kapayapaang mula sa Dios na (G)ating Ama at sa Panginoong Jesucristo.
4 (H)Nagpapasalamat akong lagi sa aking Dios tungkol sa inyo, dahil sa biyaya ng Dios na ipinagkaloob sa inyo sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus;
5 Na kayo ay pinayaman sa kanya, sa lahat ng mga bagay (I)sa lahat ng pananalita at (J)sa lahat ng kaalaman;
6 Gaya ng pinagtibay sa inyo (K)ang patotoo ni Cristo:
7 Ano pa't kayo'y hindi nagkulang sa anomang kaloob; (L)na nagsisipaghintay ng paghahayag ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo;
8 Na siya namang magpapatibay (M)sa inyo hanggang sa katapusan, upang huwag kayong mapagwikaan (N)sa kaarawan ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo.
9 Ang Dios ay (O)tapat, na sa pamamagitan niya ay tinawag kayo sa (P)pakikisama ng kaniyang anak na si Jesucristo na Panginoon natin.
10 Ngayo'y ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo, mga kapatid, sa pamamagitan ng pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo, na kayong lahat ay mangagsalita (Q)ng isa lamang bagay, at huwag mangagkaroon sa inyo ng mga pagkakabahabahagi; kundi kayo'y mangalubos sa isa lamang pagiisip at isa lamang paghatol.
11 Sapagka't ipinatalastas sa akin tungkol sa inyo, mga kapatid ko, ng mga kasangbahay ni Cloe, na sa inyo'y may mga pagtatalotalo.
12 Ibig ko ngang sabihin ito, na (R)ang bawa't isa sa inyo ay nagsasabi, Ako'y kay Pablo; at ako'y kay (S)Apolos; at ako'y kay (T)Cefas; at ako'y kay Cristo.
13 Nabahagi baga si Cristo? (U)ipinako baga sa krus si Pablo dahil sa inyo? o (V)binautismuhan baga kayo sa pangalan ni Pablo?
14 Nagpapasalamat ako sa Dios na hindi ko binautismuhan (W)ang sinoman sa inyo, maliban (X)si Crispo at si (Y)Gayo;
15 Baka masabi ninoman na kayo'y binautismuhan sa pangalan ko.
16 At binautismuhan ko rin naman ang sangbahayan ni (Z)Estefanas: maliban sa mga ito, di ko maalaman kung may nabautismuhan akong iba pa.
17 Sapagka't hindi ako sinugo ni Cristo upang bumautismo, kundi upang mangaral ng evangelio: (AA)hindi sa karunungan ng mga salita baka mawalan ng kabuluhan ang krus ni Cristo.
18 Sapagka't ang salita ng krus ay kamangmangan sa kanila na (AB)nangapapahamak; nguni't (AC)ito'y kapangyarihan ng Dios sa atin na (AD)nangaliligtas.
19 Sapagka't nasusulat,
(AE)Iwawalat ko ang karunungan ng marurunong,
At isasawala ko ang kabaitan ng mababait.
20 Saan naroon ang marunong? saan naroon ang eskriba? saan naroon ang mapagmatuwid (AF)sa sanglibutang ito? hindi baga (AG)ginawa ng Dios na kamangmangan ang karunungan ng sanglibutan?
21 Sapagka't yamang sa karunungan ng Dios ay hindi nakilala ng sanglibutan ang Dios sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang karunungan, ay kinalugdan ng Dios na iligtas ang mga nagsisipanampalataya sa pamamagitan ng kamangmangan ng pangangaral.
22 (AH)Ang mga Judio nga ay nagsisihingi ng mga tanda, at ang mga Griego ay nagsisihanap ng karunungan:
23 Datapuwa't ang (AI)aming ipinangangaral ay ang Cristo na napako sa krus, na sa mga Judio ay (AJ)katitisuran, at sa mga Gentil ay kamangmangan;
24 Nguni't sa kanila na mga tinawag, maging mga Judio at mga Griego, si Cristo ang (AK)kapangyarihan ng Dios, at (AL)ang karunungan ng Dios.
25 Sapagka't ang kamangmangan ng Dios ay lalong marunong kay sa mga tao; at ang kahinaan ng Dios ay lalong malakas kay sa mga tao.
26 Sapagka't masdan ninyo ang sa inyo'y (AM)pagkatawag, mga kapatid, na (AN)hindi ang maraming marurunong ayon sa laman, hindi ang maraming may kapangyarihan, hindi ang maraming mahal na tao ang mga tinawag:
27 Kundi pinili ng Dios (AO)ang mga bagay na kamangmangan ng sanglibutan, upang hiyain niya ang mga marurunong; at pinili ng Dios ang mga bagay na mahihina ng sanglibutan, upang hiyain niya ang mga bagay na malalakas;
28 At ang mga bagay na mababa ng sanglibutan, at ang mga bagay na hinamak, ang pinili ng Dios, (AP)oo at ang mga bagay na walang halaga (AQ)upang mawalang halaga ang mga bagay na mahahalaga:
29 Upang walang (AR)laman na magmapuri sa harapan ng Dios.
30 Datapuwa't sa kaniya kayo'y nangasa kay Cristo Jesus, na sa atin ay ginawang (AS)karunungang mula sa Dios, at (AT)katuwiran at (AU)kabanalan, (AV)at katubusan:
31 Na, ayon sa nasusulat, (AW)Ang nagmamapuri, ay magmapuri sa Panginoon.
1 Corinthians 1
New International Version
1 Corinthians 1
New International Version
1 Paul, called to be an apostle(A) of Christ Jesus by the will of God,(B) and our brother Sosthenes,(C)
2 To the church of God(D) in Corinth,(E) to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called(F) to be his holy people, together with all those everywhere who call on the name(G) of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours:
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(H)
Thanksgiving
4 I always thank my God for you(I) because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched(J) in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge(K)— 6 God thus confirming our testimony(L) about Christ among you. 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift(M) as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.(N) 8 He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless(O) on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.(P) 9 God is faithful,(Q) who has called you(R) into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.(S)
A Church Divided Over Leaders
10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a](T) in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you,(U) but that you be perfectly united(V) in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household(W) have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”;(X) another, “I follow Apollos”;(Y) another, “I follow Cephas[b]”;(Z) still another, “I follow Christ.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?(AA) 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus(AB) and Gaius,(AC) 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household(AD) of Stephanas;(AE) beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize,(AF) but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom(AG) and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness(AH) to those who are perishing,(AI) but to us who are being saved(AJ) it is the power of God.(AK) 19 For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”[c](AL)
20 Where is the wise person?(AM) Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age?(AN) Has not God made foolish(AO) the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world(AP) through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save(AQ) those who believe.(AR) 22 Jews demand signs(AS) and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified:(AT) a stumbling block(AU) to Jews and foolishness(AV) to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called,(AW) both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God(AX) and the wisdom of God.(AY) 25 For the foolishness(AZ) of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness(BA) of God is stronger than human strength.
26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.(BB) Not many of you were wise(BC) by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose(BD) the foolish(BE) things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not(BF)—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him.(BG) 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus,(BH) who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness,(BI) holiness(BJ) and redemption.(BK) 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[d](BL)
