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
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.

Greeting
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 to the church of God sanctified in Christ Jesus that is in Corinth,[a] called to be saints, together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord[b] and ours. 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving for the Corinthian Believers
4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you, because of the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus, 5 that[c] in everything you were made rich in him, in all speech and all knowledge, 6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed in you, 7 so that you do not lack in any spiritual gift as you[d] eagerly await 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, by whom you were called to fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Divisions in the Church at Corinth
10 Now I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all say the same thing and there not be divisions among you, and that you be made complete in the same mind and with the same purpose. 11 For it has been made clear to me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloe’s people[e], that there are quarrels among you. 12 But I say this, that each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” and “I am with Apollos,” and “I am with Cephas,” and “I am with Christ.” 13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he?[f] Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I give thanks[g] that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 lest anyone should say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel, not with clever speech[h], lest the cross of Christ be emptied.
Christ Crucified, 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 intelligence of the intelligent I will confound.”[i]
20 Where is the wise person? 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 through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. 22 For indeed, Jews ask for sign miracles and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a cause for stumbling, but to the Gentiles foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,[j] and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.[k]
Boast in the Lord
26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise according to human standards,[l] not many were powerful, not many were well born. 27 But the foolish things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the strong, 28 and the insignificant of the world, and the despised, God chose, the things that are not, in order that he might abolish the things that are, 29 so that all flesh may not boast before God. 30 But from him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, just as it is written, “The one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”[m]
