1 Corinthians 1
English Standard Version

Greeting

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

2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those (C)sanctified in Christ Jesus, (D)called to be saints together with all those who in every place (E)call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

3 (F)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving

4 I (G)give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, 5 that in every way (H)you were enriched in him in all (I)speech and all knowledge— 6 even as (J)the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— 7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you (K)wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 (L)who will sustain you to the end, (M)guiltless (N)in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 (O)God is faithful, by whom you were called into the (P)fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Divisions in the Church

10 I appeal to you, brothers,[a] by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no (Q)divisions among you, but that you be united (R)in the same mind and the same judgment. 11 For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is (S)quarreling among you, my brothers. 12 What I mean is that (T)each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow (U)Apollos,” or “I follow (V)Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.” 13 (W)Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you (X)baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except (Y)Crispus and (Z)Gaius, 15 so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (I did baptize also (AA)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 preach the gospel, and (AB)not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

Christ the Wisdom and Power of God

18 For the word of the cross is (AC)folly to (AD)those who are perishing, but to us (AE)who are being saved it is (AF)the power of God. 19 For it is written,

(AG)“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
    and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”

20 (AH)Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? (AI)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, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach[b] to save those who believe. 22 For (AJ)Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ (AK)crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (AL)the power of God and (AM)the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 For consider your calling, brothers: (AN)not many of you were wise according to worldly standards,[c] not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But (AO)God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; (AP)God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even (AQ)things that are not, to (AR)bring to nothing things that are, 29 so (AS)that no human being[d] might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him[e] you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us (AT)wisdom from God, (AU)righteousness and (AV)sanctification and (AW)redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, (AX)“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

New American Standard Bible

Appeal to Unity

1 Paul, (A)called as an apostle of Jesus Christ [a]by (B)the will of God, and our (C)brother (D)Sosthenes,

2 To (E)the church of God which is in (F)Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, [b]saints (G)by calling, with all who in every place (H)call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

3 (I)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 (J)I thank [c]my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, 5 that in everything you were (K)enriched in Him, in all (L)speech and (M)all knowledge, 6 just as (N)the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed [d]in you, 7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you eagerly (O)await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 (P)who will also [e]confirm you to the end, blameless on (Q)the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 (R)God is faithful, through whom you were (S)called into (T)fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Now (U)I urge you, (V)brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all [f]agree and that there be no [g](W)divisions among you, but that you be [h]made complete in (X)the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brothers and sisters, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. 12 Now I mean this, that (Y)each one of you is saying, “I am [i]with Paul,” [j]or “I am [k]with (Z)Apollos,” [l]or “I am [m]with [n](AA)Cephas,” [o]or “I am [p]with Christ.” 13 [q]Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you (AB)baptized [r]in the name of Paul? 14 I am thankful that I (AC)baptized none of you except (AD)Crispus and (AE)Gaius, 15 so that no one would say you were baptized [s]in my name! 16 But I did baptize the (AF)household of Stephanas also; beyond that, I do not know if I baptized anyone else. 17 (AG)For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, (AH)not with [t]cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made of no effect.

The Wisdom of God

18 For the word of the cross is (AI)foolishness to (AJ)those who [u]are perishing, but to us who [v]are being saved it is (AK)the power of God. 19 For it is written:

“(AL)I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And the understanding of those who have understanding, I will confound.”

20 (AM)Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of (AN)this age? Has God not (AO)made foolish the wisdom of (AP)the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God (AQ)the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, (AR)God [w]was pleased through the (AS)foolishness of the [x]message preached to (AT)save those who believe. 22 For indeed (AU)Jews ask for [y]signs and Greeks search for wisdom; 23 but we preach [z](AV)Christ crucified, (AW)to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles (AX)foolishness, 24 but to those who are (AY)the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (AZ)the power of God and (BA)the wisdom of God. 25 For the (BB)foolishness of God is wiser than mankind, and (BC)the weakness of God is stronger than mankind.

26 For [aa]consider your (BD)calling, brothers and sisters, that there were (BE)not many wise according to [ab]the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27 but (BF)God has chosen the foolish things of (BG)the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of (BH)the world to shame the things which are strong, 28 and the [ac]insignificant things of (BI)the world and the despised God has chosen, (BJ)the things that are not, so that He may (BK)nullify the things that are, 29 so that (BL)no [ad]human may boast before God. 30 But it is [ae]due to Him that you are in (BM)Christ Jesus, who became to us (BN)wisdom from God, [af]and (BO)righteousness and (BP)sanctification, and (BQ)redemption, 31 so that, just as it is written: “(BR)Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

Първо Коринтяни 1
Библия, синодално издание

1 (A)Павел, призван апостол Иисус Христов по воля Божия, и брат Состен –

2 (B)на църквата Божия в Коринт, на осветените в Христа Иисуса, на призваните светии, заедно с всички ония, които призовават името на Господа нашего Иисуса Христа на всяко място, у тях и у нас –

3 (C)благодат вам и мир от Бога Отца нашего и от Господа Иисуса Христа.

4 (D)Благодаря на моя Бог винаги за вас заради даруваната вам в Христа Иисуса Божия благодат;

5 (E)защото чрез Него се обогатихте с всичко, с всяко слово и всяко познание,

6 (F)според както се е утвърдило у вас Христовото свидетелство,

7 (G)тъй че вие се не лишавате от никакъв дар, като очаквате откровението на Господа нашего Иисуса Христа,

8 (H)Който ще ви и утвърди докрай, за да бъдете безукорни в деня на Господа нашего Иисуса Христа.

9 (I)Верен е Бог, чрез Когото сте призвани за общение със Сина Му Иисуса Христа, Господа нашего.

10 (J)Моля ви, братя, в името на Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, да говорите всички едно и също, и да няма помежду ви разцепления, а да бъдете съединени в един дух и в една мисъл.

11 Защото узнах от домашните на Хлоя за вас, братя мои, че помежду ви имало раздори.

12 (K)А това казвам, защото един от вас дума: „аз съм Павлов“, друг: „аз пък Аполосов“, трети: „аз съм Кифин“, а друг: „аз пък – Христов“.

13 (L)Нима Христос се е разделил? нима Павел биде разпнат за вас? или в име Павлово се кръстихте?

14 (M)Благодаря на Бога, че не съм кръстил никого от вас, освен Криспа и Гаия,

15 та да не каже някой, че съм кръстил в мое име.

16 Кръстих също и Стефаниновия дом, а дали съм кръстил и другиго някого, не зная.

17 (N)Защото Христос не ме прати да кръщавам, а да благовествувам, и то не с мъдри думи, за да не се обезсили кръстът Христов.

18 (O)Защото словото за кръста е безумство за ония, които гинат, а за нас, които се спасяваме, е сила Божия.

19 (P)Защото писано е: „ще погубя мъдростта на мъдреците и ще отхвърля разума на разумните“.

20 (Q)Де е мъдрецът? де е книжовникът? де е разисквачът на тоя век? Не обезуми ли Бог мъдростта на тоя свят?

21 (R)Понеже светът със своята мъдрост не позна Бога в премъдростта Божия, Бог благоволи да спаси вярващите с безумството на проповедта.

22 (S)Защото и иудеите искат личби, и елините търсят мъдрост,

23 (T)а ние проповядваме Христа разпнатия, Който за иудеи е съблазън, а за елини безумство,

24 (U)пък за самите призвани, както иудеи, тъй и елини – Божия сила и Божия премъдрост;

25 защото онова, що е безумно у Бога, е по-мъдро от човеците, и онова, що е немощно у Бога, е по-силно от човеците.

26 (V)Гледайте, братя, какви сте вие, призваните: не мнозина сте мъдри по плът, не мнозина силни, не мнозина благородни;

27 (W)ала Бог избра онова, що е безумно на тоя свят, за да посрами мъдрите; Бог избра онова, що е слабо на тоя свят, за да посрами силните;

28 Бог избра онова, що е от долен род на тоя свят и е унижено, и това, що е нищо, за да съсипе онова, що е нещо, –

29 (X)та никоя плът да се не похвали пред Бога.

30 (Y)От Него сте и вие в Христа Иисуса, Който стана за нас премъдрост от Бога, и правда, и освещение, и изкупление,

31 (Z)та, както е писано, „който се хвали, с Господа да се хвали“.

1 Corinto 1
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)

1 Mula kay Pablo na tinawag ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos upang maging apostol ni Cristo Jesus, at mula kay Sostenes na ating kapatid, 2 para(A) sa iglesya ng Diyos na nasa Corinto, sa mga tinawag upang maging kabilang sa sambayanan ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng pakikipag-isa kay Cristo Jesus, gayundin sa lahat ng tao na nasa lahat ng dako na tumatawag sa pangalan ni Jesu-Cristo, na Panginoon nating lahat. 3 Sumainyo nawa ang pagpapala at kapayapaan mula sa Diyos na ating Ama at mula sa Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.

Mga Pagpapala Mula kay Cristo

4 Lagi akong nagpapasalamat sa Diyos dahil sa mga pagpapalang ibinigay niya sa inyo sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus. 5 Dahil sa inyong pakikipag-isa kay Cristo, kayo ay naging masagana sa lahat ng bagay, maging sa pananalita at sa kaalaman. 6 Ang katotohanan tungkol kay Cristo ay pinagtibay sa inyo 7 kaya't hindi kayo nagkukulang sa anumang pagpapala, habang hinihintay ninyo ang pagbabalik ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. 8 Kayo'y gagawin niyang matatag hanggang wakas upang matagpuan kayong walang kapintasan sa araw ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.[a] 9 Tapat ang Diyos na tumawag sa inyo upang makipag-isa sa kanyang Anak na si Jesu-Cristo na ating Panginoon.

Pagkakampi-kampi sa Iglesya

10 Mga kapatid, ako'y nakikiusap sa inyo, sa pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, magkaisa kayo at huwag magkabaha-bahagi maging sa pagkaunawa at pagpapasya. 11 Sapagkat ibinalita sa akin ng mga kasamahan ni Cloe na kayo raw ay nag-aaway-away. 12 Ito(B) ang tinutukoy ko: may nagsasabing, “Kay Pablo ako;” may nagsasabi namang, “Ako'y kay Apolos.” May iba pa ring nagsasabi, “Kay Pedro ako,” at may iba namang nagsasabi, “Ako'y kay Cristo.” 13 Bakit? Nahati ba si Cristo? Si Pablo ba ang ipinako sa krus para sa inyo? Binautismuhan ba kayo sa pangalan niya? 14 Salamat(C) sa Diyos[b] at wala akong binautismuhan sa inyo maliban kina Crispo at Gaius, 15 kaya hindi ninyo masasabing kayo'y binautismuhan sa aking pangalan. 16 Ako(D) nga rin pala ang nagbautismo sa sambahayan ni Estefanas. Maliban sa kanila'y wala na akong natatandaang binautismuhan ko. 17 Sapagkat isinugo ako ni Cristo, hindi upang magbautismo kundi upang mangaral ng Magandang Balita, at hindi sa pamamagitan ng mahusay na pagtatalumpati at karunungan ng tao, nang sa gayon ay hindi mawalan ng kabuluhan ang pagkamatay ni Cristo sa krus.

Si Cristo ang Kapangyarihan at Karunungan ng Diyos

18 Ang mensahe tungkol sa pagkamatay ni Cristo sa krus ay kahangalan para sa mga taong napapahamak, ngunit ito'y kapangyarihan ng Diyos para sa ating mga naliligtas. 19 Sapagkat(E) nasusulat,

“Sisirain ko ang karunungan ng marurunong
    at gagawin kong walang saysay ang katalinuhan ng matatalino.”

20 Ano(F) ngayon ang kabuluhan ng marurunong, ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan, ng mahuhusay na debatista sa kapanahunang ito? Ipinapakita ng Diyos na ang karunungan ng sanlibutang ito ay pawang kahangalan lamang. 21 Sapagkat(G) ayon sa karunungan ng Diyos, hindi niya pinahintulutang siya'y makilala ng tao sa pamamagitan ng kanilang karunungan. Sa halip, minarapat niyang iligtas ang mga nagpapasakop sa kanya sa pamamagitan ng Magandang Balita na aming ipinapangaral, na sa tingin ng iba'y isang kahangalan. 22 Ang mga Judio'y humihingi ng himala bilang katunayan. Karunungan naman ang hinahanap ng mga Griego. 23 Ngunit ang ipinapangaral namin ay si Cristo na ipinako sa krus, na para sa mga Judio ay isang katitisuran at para sa mga Hentil ay isang kahangalan. 24 Subalit sa mga tinawag ng Diyos, maging Judio o maging Griego, si Cristo ang kapangyarihan at karunungan ng Diyos. 25 Sapagkat ang inaakala nilang kahangalan ng Diyos ay karunungang higit pa sa karunungan ng tao, at ang inaakala nilang kahinaan ng Diyos ay kalakasang higit pa sa kalakasan ng tao.

26 Mga kapatid, alalahanin ninyo ang inyong katayuan noong kayo'y tawagin ng Diyos. Ayon sa pamantayan ng tao ay iilan lamang sa inyo ang matatawag na marunong, makapangyarihan at maharlika. 27 Subalit pinili ng Diyos ang mga naturingang hangal sa sanlibutan upang hiyain ang marurunong, at pinili niya ang mga naturingang mahihina upang hiyain ang malalakas. 28 Pinili niya ang mga pangkaraniwang tao, mga hinahamak, at mga mahihina sa sanlibutang ito upang ipawalang saysay ang mga kinikilala ng sanlibutan. 29 Kaya't walang sinumang makakapagmalaki sa harap ng Diyos. 30 Sa kanya nagmula ang buhay na taglay ninyo dahil sa pakikipag-isa ninyo kay Cristo Jesus na siyang ginawang karunungan natin. Sa pamamagitan din niya, tayo'y itinuring na matuwid, ginawang banal at iniligtas ng Diyos. 31 Kaya(H) nga, tulad ng nasusulat, “Ang sinumang nais magmalaki, ang ginawa ng Panginoon ang kanyang ipagmalaki.”
