1 Inasmuch epeidēper as many polys have taken epicheireō it in hand to compile anatassomai a narrative diēgēsis concerning peri the ho things pragma that have been accomplished plērophoreō among en us hēmeis, ² just kathōs as those ho who were, from apo the beginning archē, eyewitnesses autoptēs and kai became ginomai ministers hypēretēs of the ho word logos, have delivered paradidōmi it to us hēmeis, ³ it seemed dokeō good to me kagō also , having carefully akribōs investigated parakoloutheō everything pas for a long anōthen time , to write down graphō the events in an orderly kathexēs sequence for you sy, most excellent kratistos Theophilus Theophilos, ⁴ so hina that you may know epiginōskō the ho truth asphaleia about peri the things logos that hos you have been taught katēcheō.

⁵ There was ginomai in en the ho days hēmera of Herod hērōdēs, king basileus of ho Judah Ioudaia, a certain tis priest hiereus by the name onoma of Zechariah Zacharias, of ek the priestly division ephēmeria of Abijah Abia; and kai his autos wife gynē was from ek the ho daughters thugatēr of Aaron Aarōn, and kai · ho her autos name onoma was Elizabeth Elisabet. ⁶ And de they were eimi both amphoteroi righteous dikaios before enantion · ho God theos, walking poreuō blamelessly amemptos in en all pas the ho commandments entolē and kai ordinances dikaiōma of the ho Lord kyrios. ⁷ But kai they autos did not ou have eimi a child teknon, because kathoti Elizabeth Elisabet was eimi · ho barren steira, and kai both amphoteroi of them autos were eimi advanced probainō in en · ho years hēmera.

⁸ Now de it happened ginomai, while en · ho he autos was serving hierateuō as priest before enanti God theos when en · ho his autos priestly division ephēmeria was on duty taxis, · ho · ho ⁹ that according kata to the ho custom ethos of the ho priesthood hierateia, he was chosen lanchanō by lot to ho go eiserchomai into eis the ho temple naos of the ho Lord kyrios and burn incense thumiaō, ¹⁰ and kai the ho whole pas crowd plēthos of ho people laos was eimi there, praying proseuchomai outside exō at the ho hour hōra of ho incense thumiama. ¹¹ And de an angel angelos of kyrios the Lord kyrios appeared horaō to him autos, standing histēmi at ek the right dexios side of the ho altar thusiastērion of ho incense thumiama. ¹² · kai Zechariah Zacharias was troubled tarassō when he saw him and kai fear phobos fell epipiptō upon epi him autos. ¹³ But de the ho angel angelos said legō to pros him autos: “ Do not mē fear phobeomai, Zechariah Zacharias, because dioti your sy prayer deēsis has been heard eisakouō, · ho and kai · ho your sy wife gynē Elizabeth Elisabet will bear gennaō you sy a son hyios, and kai you will call kaleō · ho his autos name onoma John Iōannēs. ¹⁴ And kai for you sy there will be eimi joy chara and kai gladness agalliasis, and kai many polys will rejoice chairō because epi of · ho his autos birth genesis, ¹⁵ for gar he will be eimi great megas before enōpion the ho Lord kyrios. And kai he must pinō not ou drink pinō wine oinos and kai strong sikera drink , and kai he will be filled with pimplēmi the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, even eti from ek his autos mother’ s mētēr womb koilia. ¹⁶ and kai he will restore epistrephō many polys of the ho sons hyios of Israel Israēl to epi the Lord kyrios · ho their autos God theos. ¹⁷ · kai He autos will go proerchomai on before enōpion him autos, in en the spirit pneuma and kai power dynamis of Elijah ēlias, to turn epistrephō the hearts kardia of fathers patēr toward epi their children teknon, and kai the disobedient apeithēs to en the wisdom phronēsis of the righteous dikaios, in order to establish hetoimazō for the Lord kyrios a people laos who are prepared kataskeuazō for him.”

¹⁸ But kai Zechariah Zacharias said legō to pros the ho angel angelos, “ How kata tis can I be sure ginōskō of this houtos? For gar I egō am eimi an old presbytēs man and kai · ho my egō wife gynē is advanced probainō in en · ho years hēmera?” ¹⁹ And kai the ho angel angelos answered apokrinomai, saying legō to him autos, “ I egō am eimi Gabriel Gabriēl, who ho stands paristēmi in the presence enōpion of ho God theos, and kai I was sent apostellō to speak laleō to pros you sy, and kai to tell euangelizō you sy the good news of these houtos things . ²⁰ And kai now idou you will be eimi reduced to silence siōpaō and kai not mē be able dynamai to speak laleō until achri the hos day hēmera in which these things houtos happen ginomai, because anti hos you did not ou believe pisteuō · ho my egō words logos, which hostis will be fulfilled plēroō in eis · ho their autos time kairos.”

²¹ And kai the ho people laos were eimi waiting prosdokaō for · ho Zechariah Zacharias, and kai they began to wonder thaumazō why en · ho he autos stayed chronizō so long in en the ho temple naos. ²² When he came exerchomai out , · de he was not ou able dynamai to speak laleō to them autos; and kai they realized epiginōskō that hoti he had seen horaō a vision optasia in en the ho temple naos · kai ( he autos kept eimi gesturing dianeuō to them autos and kai remained diamenō mute kōphos). ²³ · kai When hōs the ho days hēmera of ho his autos priestly service leitourgia were over pimplēmi, he went aperchomai to eis · ho his autos home oikos.

²⁴ After meta · de these houtos · ho days hēmera, Elizabeth Elisabet his autos wife gynē became pregnant syllambanō, · ho and kai she kept perikrybō herself heautou in seclusion for five pente months mēn, saying legō, ²⁵ “ Thus houtōs the Lord kyrios has done poieō for me egō in en the days hēmera in which hos he looked with favor to take aphaireō away my egō reproach oneidos among en people anthrōpos.”

²⁶ In en · de the ho sixth hektos month mēn · ho the ho angel angelos Gabriel Gabriēl was sent apostellō from apo · ho God theos to eis a town polis of ho Galilee Galilaia that hos was called onoma Nazareth Nazareth, ²⁷ to pros a virgin parthenos pledged mnēsteuō to be married to a man anēr whose hos name onoma was Joseph Iōsēph, of ek the house oikos of David Dauid, and kai the ho name onoma of the ho virgin parthenos was Mary Mariam. ²⁸ And kai he came eiserchomai to pros her autos and said legō, “ Greetings chairō, highly charitoō favored one , the ho Lord kyrios is with meta you sy!” ²⁹ She ho · de was thoroughly troubled diatarassō by epi what ho he said logos, and kai tried to discern dialogizomai what potapos sort of greeting aspasmos this houtos could be eimi. · ho ³⁰ And kai the ho angel angelos said legō to her autos, “ Do not mē be afraid phobeomai, Mary Mariam, for gar you have found heuriskō favor charis with para · ho God theos. ³¹ · kai Look idou, you will conceive syllambanō in en your womb gastēr and kai give tiktō birth to a son hyios, and kai you will call kaleō · ho his autos name onoma Jesus Iēsous. ³² This houtos very one will be eimi great megas, and kai will be called kaleō the Son hyios of the Most hypsistos High ; and kai the ho Lord kyrios God theos will give didōmi him autos the ho throne thronos of ho his autos father patēr David Dauid. ³³ · kai He will reign basileuō over epi the ho house oikos of Jacob Iakōb for eis all ho time aiōn, and kai of ho his autos kingdom basileia there will be eimi no ou end telos.”

³⁴ Mary Mariam said legō · de to pros the ho angel angelos, “ How pōs will this houtos be eimi, since epei I have ginōskō no ou sexual relationship with ginōskō a man anēr?” ³⁵ And kai the ho angel angelos answered apokrinomai, saying legō to her autos, “The Holy hagios Spirit pneuma will come eperchomai upon epi you sy and kai the power dynamis of the Most High hypsistos will overshadow episkiazō you sy: therefore dio · kai the ho child gennaō to be born will be holy hagios; he will be called kaleō the Son hyios of God theos. ³⁶ · kai Look idou, your sy relative syngenis Elizabeth Elisabet, · ho she autos also kai has conceived syllambanō a son hyios in en her autos old gēras age ; indeed kai, this houtos is eimi the sixth hektos month mēn with her autos who ho was called kaleō barren steira. ³⁷ For hoti nothing pas will be impossible adynateō for para · ho God theos.” ³⁸ So de Mary Mariam said legō, “ Behold idou, the ho maidservant doulē of the Lord kyrios! Let ginomai it happen to me egō according kata to · ho your sy word rhēma.” Then kai the ho angel angelos departed aperchomai from apo her autos.

1 Paul Paulos, called klētos to be an apostle apostolos of Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous by dia the will thelēma of God theos, and kai Sosthenes Sōsthenēs our ho brother adelphos, ² to the ho church ekklēsia of ho God theos that ho is eimi in en Corinth Korinthos, to those sanctified hagiazō in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous and called klētos to be saints hagios together syn with all pas those ho in en every pas place topos who call epikaleō on the ho name onoma of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, both their autos Lord and kai ours hēmeis: ³ Grace charis to you hymeis and kai peace eirēnē from apo God theos our hēmeis Father patēr and kai the Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos.

⁴ I am always pantote giving eucharisteō thanks to ho my egō God theos for peri you hymeis because epi of the ho grace charis of ho God theos that ho was given didōmi to you hymeis in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous, ⁵ that hoti in en every pas way you were enriched ploutizō in en him autos in en all pas speech logos and kai all pas knowledge gnōsis— ⁶ just kathōs as the ho testimony martyrion about ho Christ Christos was confirmed bebaioō among en you hymeis— ⁷ so hōste that you hymeis do not mē lack hystereō in en any mēdeis spiritual charisma gift as you wait apekdechomai for the ho revealing apokalypsis of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos. ⁸ He hos · kai will keep bebaioō you hymeis steadfast to heōs the end telos, guiltless anenklētos in en the ho day hēmera of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos. ⁹ God theos is faithful pistos, · ho by dia whom hos you were called kaleō into eis fellowship koinōnia with ho his autos Son hyios, Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios.

¹⁰ I appeal parakaleō to · de you hymeis, brothers adelphos, by dia the ho name onoma of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, that hina you all pas come to agreement ho and kai that there be eimi no mē divisions schisma among en you hymeis, but de that you be eimi united katartizō in en the ho same autos frame nous of mind and kai the ho same autos judgment gnōmē. ¹¹ For gar it has been reported dēloō to me egō by hypo members of ho Chloe’s household that hoti there are eimi quarrels eris among en you hymeis, my egō brothers adelphos. ¹² What I mean legō · de is this houtos: each hekastos of you hymeis is saying legō, “ I egō am eimi with Paul Paulos,” or de, “ I egō am with Apollos Apollōs,” or de, “ I egō am with Cephas Kēphas,” or de, “ I egō am with Christ Christos.” ¹³ Has Christ Christos been divided merizō? · ho Was Paul Paulos crucified stauroō for hyper you hymeis? Or ē were you baptized baptizō in eis the ho name onoma of Paul Paulos? ¹⁴ I thank eucharisteō · ho God theos that hoti I did baptizō not baptize baptizō any oudeis of you hymeis except ei mē Crispus Krispos and kai Gaius Gaios, ¹⁵ so hina that no mē one tis can say legō that hoti you were baptized baptizō in eis · ho my emos name onoma. ¹⁶ ( I also kai baptized baptizō · de the ho household oikos of Stephanas Stephanas; beyond loipos that I do not ou know oida if ei I baptized baptizō anyone tis else allos.) ¹⁷ For gar Christ Christos did not ou send apostellō me egō to baptize baptizō but alla to preach euangelizō the gospel , and not ou with en eloquent logos wisdom sophia, lest hina mē the ho cross stauros of ho Christ Christos be rendered ineffective kenoō.

¹⁸ For gar the ho message logos · ho of the ho cross stauros is eimi foolishness mōria to those ho who are perishing apollymi, but de to ho us hēmeis who are being saved sōzō it is eimi the power dynamis of God theos. ¹⁹ For gar it is written graphō, “ I will destroy apollymi the ho wisdom sophia of the ho wise sophos, and kai the ho shrewdness synesis of the ho intelligent synetos I will thwart atheteō.” 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.”
