1 Korint 1
Haitian Creole Version
1 ¶ Mwen menm Pòl, yon moun Bondye menm te deside rele pou sèvi Jezikri apòt, m'ap ekri lèt sa a, ansanm ak Sostèn, frè nou,
2 pou nou tout ki nan legliz Bondye a lavil Korent. Bondye te rele nou pou viv apa pou li, nou tout ki pou Bondye nan Jezikri, ansanm ak tout lòt moun toupatou k'ap rele non Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Paske Jezikri se Seyè yo menm jan li Seyè nou tou.
3 Nou mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
4 Se tout tan m'ap di Bondye mèsi pou sa l' fè pou nou menm, frè lavil Korent yo, pou favè li te fè nou jwenn nan Jezikri.
5 Pandan n'ap viv ansanm ak Kris la, Bondye fè nou rich nèt, li ban nou tout kalite kado: kado sa yo penmèt nou preche pawòl la tout jan epi yo ban nou anpil konesans.
6 Bon Nouvèl ki pale sou Kris la fin pran rasin nèt nan mitan nou.
7 Se sak fè, nou pa manke anyen nan kado Bondye bay yo, pandan n'ap tann jou lè Jezikri, Seyè nou an, pral parèt la.
8 Bondye va kenbe nou fèm jouk sa kaba. Konsa, yo p'ap jwenn anyen pou repwoche nou lè jou Jezikri, Seyè nou an, va rive.
9 Bondye ki rele nou pou nou ka viv ansanm ak Pitit li, Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ap toujou kenbe pawòl li.
10 ¶ Frè m' yo, men sa m'ap mande nou, nan non Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Tanpri, mete nou dakò sou tout bagay. Pa kite divizyon mete pye nan mitan nou. Okontrè, se pou nou viv byen yonn ak lòt. Mete yon sèl lide nan tèt nou, se pou nou tout gen yon sèl pawòl.
11 Mwen di nou sa, frè m' yo, paske m' vin konnen nan bouch kèk moun nan fanmi Kloe a, te gen gwo kont pete nan mitan nou.
12 Men sa m' vle di: Chak moun ap di yon bagay diferan. Sa a di: mwen se moun Pòl. Yon lòt di: mwen se moun Apolòs. Yon lòt ankò di: mwen se moun Pyè. Yon lòt ankò: mwen se moun Kris la.
13 Nan kondisyon sa a, Kris la gen lè divize? Eske se Pòl yo te kloure sou kwa a pou nou? Osinon, èske se nan non Pòl yo te batize nou?
14 ¶ Mwen di Bondye mèsi dèske mwen pa t' batize nou yonn, an wetan Krispis ak Gayis.
15 Konsa, pesonn pa ka di yo te batize nan non Pòl.
16 (Mwen t'ap bliye sa: mwen te batize Estefanas ak moun lakay li yo tou. Men, mwen pa chonje m' te batize pesonn lòt ankò.)
17 ¶ Epitou, Kris la pa t' voye m' batize moun. Li te voye m' anonse Bon Nouvèl la, epi se pou m' anonse l' san m' pa bezwen sèvi ak bèl diskou bon konprann lèzòm, pou m' pa fè lanmò Kris la sou kwa a pase pou anyen.
18 Pawòl ki fè nou konnen jan Kris la mouri sou kwa a, se pawòl moun fou pou moun k'ap peri yo. Men, pou nou menm ki delivre yo se pouvwa Bondye.
19 Se sa menm ki te ekri nan Liv la: M'ap detwi bon konprann moun lespri yo. M'ap voye konesans save yo jete.
20 Bon, lè sa a, moun ki gen bon konprann yo, moun ki fò yo, moun ki renmen diskite dapre prensip lèzòm yo, kisa yo gen pou di ankò? Eske Bondye pa fè wè se bon konprann lèzòm lan ki pawòl moun fou?
21 Se sak fè, moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn lan, avèk tout bon konprann yo, yo pa kapab rekonèt Bondye kote Bondye ap fè wè bon konprann li. Se poutèt sa, Bondye deside delivre tout moun ki kwè nan pawòl moun fou n'ap anonse a.
22 Yon bò, jwif yo ap mande mirak, yon lòt bò grèk yo ap chache bon konprann.
23 Men nou menm, n'ap fè konnen Kris yo te kloure sou kwa a. Pou jwif yo, sa se yon wòch k'ap fè yo bite. Pou moun ki pa jwif yo, sa se bagay moun fou.
24 Men pou tout moun Bondye rele yo, kit yo jwif, kit yo pa jwif, n'ap fè konnen Kris la ki bon konprann Bondye a ak pouvwa Bondye a.
25 Paske, sa ki sanble yon bagay moun fou Bondye ap fè a, li pi bon konprann pase bon konprann lèzòm. Sa ki sanble yon feblès Bondye ap moutre, li pi fò pase fòs lèzòm.
26 Koulye a, frè m' yo, chonje ki kalite moun nou te ye lè Bondye te rele nou. Pa gen anpil nan nou ki gen bon konprann dapre sa lèzòm rele bon konprann, pa gen anpil grannèg, ni anpil moun gran fanmi.
27 Se konsa, Bondye chwazi moun lèzòm konsidere tankou moun sòt pou l' fè moun ki gen bon konprann yo wont. Li chwazi moun lèzòm konsidere tankou moun ki fèb pou l' fè grannèg yo wont.
28 Li chwazi moun lèzòm gade pou anyen, moun yo meprize, moun ki pa menm egziste pou yo, pou li te ka kraze sa ki gen enpòtans pou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn.
29 Konsa, pa gen moun ki ka fè grandizè devan Bondye.
30 Bondye mete nou ansanm ak Jezikri, li fè Kris la tounen bon konprann pou nou. Se Kris la ki fè Bondye fè nou gras. Se li menm k'ap fè nou viv apa pou Bondye, se li menm ki delivre nou.
31 Konsa, jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Si yon moun vle fè lwanj tèt li, se pou l' fè lwanj tèt li nan sa Bondye fè pou li.
1 Corinthians 1
World English Bible
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ[a] through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, 2 to 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: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, 5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge— 6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you— 7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Now I beg you, brothers,[b] 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. 11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow 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 baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name. 16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.) 17 For 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. 18 For 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. 19 For it is written,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise.
I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”(A)
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For 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. 22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block 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 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble; 27 but 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. 28 God 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, 29 that no flesh should boast before God. 30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, 31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”(B)
1 Corinthians 1
King James Version
1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2 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 their's and our's:
3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17 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.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 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?
21 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.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 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;
28 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:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
