1 Corinto 1
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version

Pagbati at Pasasalamat

1 Mula kay Pablo, tinawag na apostol ni Cristo Jesus sa pamamagitan ng kalooban ng Diyos, at kay Sostenes na kapatid natin—

2 Sa iglesya ng Diyos na nasa Corinto, sa mga ibinukod para kay Cristo Jesus at tinawag na maging banal, kasama ng lahat na sa lahat ng dako ay tumatawag sa pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, na Panginoon nila at Panginoon din natin: 3 Sumainyo ang biyaya at kapayapaang mula sa Diyos na ating Ama at mula sa Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.

4 Palagi akong nagpapasalamat sa aking Diyos tungkol sa inyo, dahil sa biyaya ng Diyos na ipinagkaloob sa inyo sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus. 5 Dahil sa pakikiugnay ninyo sa kanya ay pinayaman kayo sa lahat ng paraan sa pananalita at bawat kaalaman, 6 kung paanong pinagtibay sa inyo ang patotoo ni Cristo. 7 Kaya't hindi kayo nagkukulang sa anumang espirituwal na kaloob habang inyong hinihintay na maipahayag ang ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. 8 Siya rin ang magpapatibay sa inyo hanggang sa katapusan, upang walang anumang maiparatang sa inyo sa araw ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. 9 Mapagkakatiwalaan ang Diyos, at sa pamamagitan niya ay tinawag kayo upang makiisa sa kanyang Anak, si Jesu-Cristo na ating Panginoon.

Pagkakampi-kampi sa Loob ng Iglesya

10 Nakikiusap ako sa inyo, mga kapatid, sa pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, na magkasundo kayong lahat sa inyong sinasabi, at huwag kayong magkaroon ng pagkakampi-kampihan, kundi kayo'y mabuklod sa iisang pag-iisip at hangarin. 11 Sapagkat nabalitaan ko, mga kapatid, ang tungkol sa inyo mula sa sambahayan ni Cloe, na may pagtatalu-talo sa inyo. 12 Ganito ang ibig kong sabihin, may ilan sa inyo na nagsasabi, “Kay Pablo ako,” o “Kay Apolos ako,” at “Kay Pedro[a] ako,” at ang iba naman “Kay Cristo ako.” 13 Nahahati ba si Cristo? Si Pablo ba ang ipinako sa krus para sa inyo? O binautismuhan ba kayo sa pangalan ni Pablo? 14 Nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos na wala akong binautismuhan sa inyo, maliban kay Crispo at kay Gayo; 15 upang walang sinumang makapagsabi na kayo'y binautismuhan sa aking pangalan. 16 Binautismuhan ko rin ang sambahayan ni Estefanas. Bukod sa kanila ay hindi ko na alam kung may binautismuhan pa akong iba. 17 Sapagkat hindi ako isinugo ni Cristo upang magbautismo, kundi upang ipangaral ang ebanghelyo, hindi sa pamamagitan ng karunungan ng pananalita, upang ang krus ni Cristo ay huwag mawalan ng kapangyarihan.

Si Cristo ang Kapangyarihan at Karunungan ng Diyos

18 Sapagkat ang mensahe ng krus ay kahangalan sa mga napapahamak, ngunit para sa ating mga naliligtas, ito ay kapangyarihan ng Diyos. 19 Sapagkat nasusulat,

“Ang karunungan ng marurunong ay aking wawasakin,
    at ang talino ng matatalino ay aking bibiguin.”

20 Nasaan ang taong marunong? Nasaan ang dalubhasa sa batas? Nasaan ang magaling makipagtalo ng kapanahunang ito? Hindi ba't ginawa ng Diyos na kahangalan ang karunungan ng sanlibutan? 21 Sapagkat yamang ayon sa karunungan ng Diyos ay hindi kumilala sa Diyos ang sanlibutan sa pamamagitan ng karunungan nito, minabuti ng Diyos na sa pamamagitan ng kahangalan ng pangangaral ay iligtas ang mga sumasampalataya. 22 Sapagkat ang mga Judio ay pilit na humihingi ng mga himala, at ang mga Griyego ay naghahanap ng karunungan, 23 subalit ang Cristong ipinako sa krus ang ipinapangaral namin. Para sa mga Judio ito ay katitisuran at sa mga Hentil naman ay kahangalan. 24 Ngunit para sa mga tinawag, Judio man o Griyego, si Cristo ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos at ang karunungan ng Diyos. 25 Sapagkat ang itinuturing na kahangalan ng Diyos ay higit sa karunungan ng mga tao, at ang itinuturing na kahinaan ng Diyos ay higit sa kalakasan ng mga tao.

26 Mga kapatid, tingnan ninyo ang inyong kalagayan nang kayo ay tinawag: hindi naman marami sa inyo ang marurunong ayon sa pamantayan ng tao, hindi marami ang makapangyarihan, hindi marami ang galing sa mararangal na angkan. 27 Sa halip, pinili ng Diyos ang mga bagay na kahangalan ng sanlibutan upang hiyain niya ang marurunong, at pinili niya ang mga bagay na mahihina ng sanlibutan upang hiyain niya ang malalakas. 28 Pinili ng Diyos ang mga bagay na mababa at minamaliit sa sanlibutan, kahit ang mga bagay na walang halaga upang pawalang-saysay ang mga bagay na mahalaga, 29 upang walang taong makapagmalaki sa harapan ng Diyos. 30 Ngunit dahil sa kanya, kayo ay iniugnay kay Cristo Jesus, na para sa atin ay naging karunungan mula sa Diyos, at naging ating katuwiran, kabanalan, at katubusan. 31 Kaya tulad ng nasusulat, “Hayaang ang nagmamalaki'y ang ipagmagmalaki ay ang Panginoon.”

1 Corinthians 1
Evangelical Heritage Version

Greeting and Reminder of Blessings in Christ

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

2 To the church of God in Corinth—those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, who are called as saints—along with all in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

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

4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus. 5 You were enriched in him in every way, in all your speaking and all your knowledge, 6 because the testimony about Christ was established in you. 7 As a result you do not lack any gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8 He will also keep you strong until the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, who called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Christ Is the Answer to the Problem of Divisions

10 Brothers,[a] I am making an appeal to you using the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I ask that you all express the same view and not have any divisions among you, but that you be joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For the news I heard about you, my brothers, from members of Chloe’s household, is that there are rivalries among you. 12 What I mean is that each of you says, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,”[b] or “I belong to Christ.” 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one can say that I baptized you into my own name. 16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides them, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel—not with the wisdom used in speeches, so that the cross of Christ would not be emptied of its power.

God’s Way of Saving People Seems Foolish to Some

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. 19 In fact, it is written:

I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nothing.[c]

20 Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Jewish law? Where is the probing thinker of the present age? Has God not shown that the wisdom of this world[d] is foolish? 21 Indeed, since the world through its wisdom did not know God, God in his wisdom decided to save those who believe, through the foolishness of the preached message. 22 Yes, Jews ask for signs, Greeks desire wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified—which is offensive to Jews and foolishness to Greeks, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 We preach Christ crucified, because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 For example, consider your call, brothers. Not many of you were wise from a human point of view, not many were powerful, and not many were born with high status. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world to put to shame the things that are strong, 28 and God chose the lowly things of the world and the despised things, and[e] the things that are not, to do away with the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before God. 30 But because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us the wisdom from God, namely, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption. 31 God did this so that, just as it is written, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[f]

1 Corinthiens 1
Louis Segond

1 Paul, appelé à être apôtre de Jésus Christ par la volonté de Dieu, et le frère Sosthène,

2 à l'Église de Dieu qui est à Corinthe, à ceux qui ont été sanctifiés en Jésus Christ, appelés à être saints, et à tous ceux qui invoquent en quelque lieu que ce soit le nom de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ, leur Seigneur et le nôtre:

3 que la grâce et la paix vous soient données de la part de Dieu notre Père et du Seigneur Jésus Christ!

4 Je rends à mon Dieu de continuelles actions de grâces à votre sujet, pour la grâce de Dieu qui vous a été accordée en Jésus Christ.

5 Car en lui vous avez été comblés de toutes les richesses qui concernent la parole et la connaissance,

6 le témoignage de Christ ayant été solidement établi parmi vous,

7 de sorte qu'il ne vous manque aucun don, dans l'attente où vous êtes de la manifestation de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ.

8 Il vous affermira aussi jusqu'à la fin, pour que vous soyez irréprochables au jour de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ.

9 Dieu est fidèle, lui qui vous a appelés à la communion de son Fils, Jésus Christ notre Seigneur.

10 Je vous exhorte, frères, par le nom de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ, à tenir tous un même langage, et à ne point avoir de divisions parmi vous, mais à être parfaitement unis dans un même esprit et dans un même sentiment.

11 Car, mes frères, j'ai appris à votre sujet, par les gens de Chloé, qu'il y a des disputes au milieu de vous.

12 Je veux dire que chacun de vous parle ainsi: Moi, je suis de Paul! et moi, d'Apollos! et moi, de Céphas! et moi, de Christ!

13 Christ est-il divisé? Paul a-t-il été crucifié pour vous, ou est-ce au nom de Paul que vous avez été baptisés?

14 Je rends grâces à Dieu de ce que je n'ai baptisé aucun de vous, excepté Crispus et Gaïus,

15 afin que personne ne dise que vous avez été baptisés en mon nom.

16 J'ai encore baptisé la famille de Stéphanas; du reste, je ne sache pas que j'aie baptisé quelque autre personne.

17 Ce n'est pas pour baptiser que Christ m'a envoyé, c'est pour annoncer l'Évangile, et cela sans la sagesse du langage, afin que la croix de Christ ne soit pas rendue vaine.

18 Car la prédication de la croix est une folie pour ceux qui périssent; mais pour nous qui sommes sauvés, elle est une puissance de Dieu.

19 Aussi est-il écrit: Je détruirai la sagesse des sages, Et j'anéantirai l'intelligence des intelligents.

20 Où est le sage? où est le scribe? où est le disputeur de ce siècle? Dieu n'a-t-il pas convaincu de folie la sagesse du monde?

21 Car puisque le monde, avec sa sagesse, n'a point connu Dieu dans la sagesse de Dieu, il a plu à Dieu de sauver les croyants par la folie de la prédication.

22 Les Juifs demandent des miracles et les Grecs cherchent la sagesse:

23 nous, nous prêchons Christ crucifié; scandale pour les Juifs et folie pour les païens,

24 mais puissance de Dieu et sagesse de Dieu pour ceux qui sont appelés, tant Juifs que Grecs.

25 Car la folie de Dieu est plus sage que les hommes, et la faiblesse de Dieu est plus forte que les hommes.

26 Considérez, frères, que parmi vous qui avez été appelés il n'y a ni beaucoup de sages selon la chair, ni beaucoup de puissants, ni beaucoup de nobles.

27 Mais Dieu a choisi les choses folles du monde pour confondre les sages; Dieu a choisi les choses faibles du monde pour confondre les fortes;

28 et Dieu a choisi les choses viles du monde et celles qu'on méprise, celles qui ne sont point, pour réduire à néant celles qui sont,

29 afin que nulle chair ne se glorifie devant Dieu.

30 Or, c'est par lui que vous êtes en Jésus Christ, lequel, de par Dieu, a été fait pour nous sagesse, justice et sanctification et rédemption,

31 afin, comme il est écrit, Que celui qui se glorifie se glorifie dans le Seigneur.

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)
