²⁰ Where pou is the wise sophos person ? Where pou is the scholar grammateus? Where pou is the brilliant syzētētēs debater of ho this houtos age aiōn? Has not ouchi God theos made foolish mōrainō · ho the ho wisdom sophia of the ho world kosmos? ²¹ For gar since epeidē in en the ho wisdom sophia of ho God theos the ho world kosmos did not ou come to know ginōskō God theos through dia · ho wisdom sophia, · ho God theos was pleased eudokeō · ho through dia the ho foolishness mōria of ho what we preach kērygma to save sōzō those ho who believe pisteuō. ²² For epeidē · kai Jews Ioudaios demand aiteō signs sēmeion and kai Greeks Hellēn are looking for zēteō wisdom sophia, ²³ but de we hēmeis preach kēryssō Christ Christos crucified stauroō, a stumbling block skandalon to Jews Ioudaios and de foolishness mōria to Gentiles ethnos. ²⁴ Yet de to those autos who ho are called klētos, both te Jews Ioudaios and kai Greeks Hellēn, Christ Christos is the power dynamis of God theos and kai the wisdom sophia of God theos. ²⁵ For hoti the ho foolishness mōros of ho God theos is eimi wiser sophos than the wisdom of ho men anthrōpos, and kai the ho weakness asthenēs of ho God theos is stronger ischuros than the strength of ho men anthrōpos.

²⁶ Consider blepō · ho your hymeis calling klēsis, brothers adelphos: according to kata worldly standards sarx, not ou many polys of you were wise sophos, not ou many polys were influential dynatos, not ou many polys were of noble eugenēs birth . ²⁷ But alla God theos chose eklegomai the ho foolish mōros things of the ho world kosmos · ho to hina shame kataischunō the ho wise sophos; · kai God theos chose eklegomai the ho weak asthenēs things of the ho world kosmos · ho to hina shame kataischunō the ho strong ischuros; ²⁸ · kai God theos chose eklegomai the ho things that the ho world kosmos considers insignificant agenēs and kai · ho contemptible exoutheneō, · ho what ho is regarded eimi as nothing mē, to hina render useless katargeō the ho things that are eimi, ²⁹ so hopōs that no mē one pas can boast kauchaomai in the presence enōpion of ho God theos. ³⁰ But de you hymeis are eimi of ek him autos in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous, who hos became ginomai for us hēmeis wisdom sophia from apo God theos, and te righteousness dikaiosynē and kai sanctification hagiasmos and kai redemption apolytrōsis, ³¹ so hina that , as kathōs it is written graphō, “ Let kauchaomai the ho one who boasts kauchaomai, boast kauchaomai in en the Lord kyrios.”

¹⁴ Now de after meta · ho John Iōannēs had been taken into custody paradidōmi, · ho Jesus Iēsous went erchomai · ho into eis · ho Galilee Galilaia, proclaiming kēryssō the ho gospel euangelion of ho God theos, ¹⁵ and kai saying legō, “ The ho time kairos is fulfilled plēroō and kai the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos is at hand engizō; repent metanoeō and kai believe pisteuō in en the ho gospel euangelion.” ¹⁶ · kai As Jesus was going paragō alongside para the ho Sea thalassa of ho Galilee Galilaia, he saw Simon Simōn and kai Andrew Andreas, the ho brother adelphos of Simon Simōn, casting amphiballō a net into en the ho lake thalassa, for gar they were eimi fishermen halieus. ¹⁷ And kai Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho “ Come deute, follow opisō me egō, and kai I will make poieō you hymeis become ginomai fishers halieus of men anthrōpos.” ¹⁸ And kai immediately they left aphiēmi their ho nets diktyon and followed akoloutheō him autos. ¹⁹ And kai going probainō on a little oligos farther , he saw James Iakōbos the ho son of ho Zebedee Zebedaios and kai John Iōannēs · ho his autos brother adelphos, who autos also kai were in en their ho boat ploion mending katartizō · ho nets diktyon. ²⁰ And kai immediately he called kaleō them autos, and kai they left aphiēmi · ho their autos father patēr Zebedee Zebedaios in en the ho boat ploion with meta the ho hired misthōtos men and followed aperchomai him autos.

²¹ Then kai they went eisporeuomai to eis Capernaum Kapharnaoum; and kai on the ho next Sabbath sabbaton Jesus went eiserchomai into eis the ho synagogue synagōgē and began to teach didaskō. ²² And kai they were astonished ekplēssō at epi · ho his autos teaching didachē, for gar he was eimi teaching didaskō them autos as hōs one having echō authority exousia, and kai not ou as hōs their ho scribes grammateus. ²³ · kai Suddenly there was eimi in en · ho their autos synagogue synagōgē a man anthrōpos with en an unclean akathartos spirit pneuma, and kai he cried anakrazō out , ²⁴ saying legō, “ What tis · kai do you sy have to do with us hēmeis, Jesus Iēsous of Nazareth Nazarēnos?
