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
Wycliffe Bible
1 Paul, called apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sosthenes, brother,
2 to the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that be hallowed in Christ Jesus, and called saints, with all that inwardly call the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in each place of them and of ours,
3 grace to you and peace of God, our Father, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I do thankings to my God evermore for you, in the grace of God that is given to you in Christ Jesus.
5 For in all things ye be made rich in him, in each word, and in each knowing [and in each knowing, or science],
6 as the witnessing of Christ is confirmed in you;
7 so that nothing fail to you in any grace, that abide the showing of our Lord Jesus Christ [abiding the revelation, or showing, of our Lord Jesus Christ];
8 which also shall confirm you into the end without crime [which also shall confirm you till into the end without crime, or great sin], in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 A true God [Forsooth God is true], by whom ye be called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 But, brethren, I beseech you, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that dissensions be not among you [and that schisms, or divisions, dissensions, or discords, be not among you]; but be ye perfect in the same wit, and in the same knowing.
11 For, my brethren, it is told to me of them that be at Chloe's, that strives be among you.
12 And I say that, that each of you saith, For I am of Paul, and I am of Apollos, and I am of Cephas, but I am of Christ. [Forsooth I say this thing, that each of you saith, Forsooth I am of Paul, forsooth I of Apollos, truly I of Cephas, that is, Peter, forsooth I of Christ.]
13 Whether Christ is parted? whether Paul was crucified for you, either ye be baptized in the name of Paul [or be ye baptized in the name of Paul]?
14 I do thankings to my God [I do thankings to God], that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
15 lest any man say, that ye be baptized in my name.
16 And I baptized also the house of Stephanas, but I know not, that I baptized any other [if I baptized any other].
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of Christ be not voided away.
18 For the word of the cross is folly to them that perish; but to them that be made safe, that is to say, to us, it is the virtue of God.
19 For it is written, I shall destroy the wisdom of wise men [I shall lose the wisdom of wise men], and I shall reprove the prudence of prudent men.
20 Where is the wise man? where is the wise lawyer [where is the writer, or man of law]? where is the purchaser of this world? Whether God hath not made the wisdom of this world fond [Whether God hath not made the wisdom of this world foolish]?
21 For the world in wisdom of God knew not God by wisdom [For why for in the wisdom of God the world knew not God by wisdom], it pleased to God, by [the] folly of preaching, to make them safe that believed.
22 For Jews seek signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;
23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews cause of stumbling [to Jews soothly offence], and to heathen men folly;
24 but to those Jews and Greeks that be called, we preach Christ the virtue of God and the wisdom of God. [forsooth to them called, Jews and Greeks, Christ the virtue of God, and the wisdom of God.]
25 For that that is folly thing of God, is wiser than men; and that that is the feeble thing of God [and that that is the sick thing, or frail, of God], is stronger than men.
26 But, brethren, see ye your calling [Forsooth, see ye your calling, brethren]; for not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble.
27 But God chose those things that be fond of the world, to confound wise men; and God chose the feeble things of the world, to confound the strong things; [But God chose those things that be foolish of the world, that he confound wise men; and God chose the sick things, or frail, of the world, that he confound the strong things;]
28 and God chose the unnoble things and despisable things of the world, and those things that be not, to destroy those things that be;
29 that each man have not glory in his sight. [that each flesh, or man, glory not in his sight.]
30 But of him ye be in Christ Jesus, which is made of God to us wisdom, and rightwiseness, and holiness, and again-buying;
31 that, as it is written, He that glorieth, have glory in the Lord [He that glorieth, glory in the Lord].
1 Corinthians 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, (A)called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ (B)through the will of God, and (C)Sosthenes our brother,
2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who (D)are [a]sanctified in Christ Jesus, (E)called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ (F)our Lord, (G)both theirs and ours:
3 (H)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Spiritual Gifts at Corinth
4 (I)I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, 5 that you were enriched in everything by Him (J)in all [b]utterance and all knowledge, 6 even as (K)the testimony of Christ was confirmed [c]in you, 7 so that you come short in no gift, eagerly (L)waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 (M)who will also confirm you to the end, (N)that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 (O)God is faithful, by whom you were called into (P)the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sectarianism Is Sin
10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (Q)that you all [d]speak the same thing, and that there be no [e]divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are [f]contentions among you. 12 Now I say this, that (R)each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of (S)Apollos,” or “I am of (T)Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” 13 (U)Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 I thank God that I baptized (V)none of you except (W)Crispus and (X)Gaius, 15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. 16 Yes, I also baptized the household of (Y)Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, (Z)not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
Christ the Power and Wisdom of God(AA)
18 For the [g]message of the cross is (AB)foolishness to (AC)those who are perishing, but to us (AD)who are being saved it is the (AE)power of God. 19 For it is written:
(AF)“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
20 (AG)Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the [h]disputer of this age? (AH)Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the (AI)wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For (AJ)Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, (AK)to the Jews a [i]stumbling block and to the [j]Greeks (AL)foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (AM)the power of God and (AN)the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Glory Only in the Lord
26 For [k]you see your calling, brethren, (AO)that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many [l]noble, are called. 27 But (AP)God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the [m]base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and (AQ)righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, (AR)“He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”
