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.”

²⁰ Now de there were eimi some tis Greeks Hellēn among ek those ho who went anabainō up to hina worship proskyneō at en the ho festival heortē. ²¹ So oun these houtos came proserchomai to Philip Philippos, who ho was from apo Bethsaida Bēthsaida in ho Galilee Galilaia, and kai asked erōtaō him autos, saying legō, “ Sir kyrios, we would like thelō to see · ho Jesus Iēsous.” ²² Philip Philippos went erchomai · ho and kai told legō · ho Andrew Andreas; Andrew Andreas and kai Philip Philippos went erchomai and kai told legō · ho Jesus Iēsous. ²³ · ho And de Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai them autos, saying legō, “ The ho hour hōra has come erchomai for hina the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos to be glorified doxazō. ²⁴ I tell legō you hymeis the solemn truth amēn, unless ean mē a ho kernel kokkos of ho wheat sitos falls piptō into eis the ho ground gē and dies apothnēskō, it autos remains menō a single monos kernel; but de if ean it dies apothnēskō it produces pherō a great polys harvest karpos. ²⁵ The ho one who loves phileō · ho his autos life psychē loses apollymi it autos, and kai the ho one who hates miseō · ho his autos life psychē in en · ho this houtos world kosmos preserves phylassō it autos for eis eternal aiōnios life zōē. ²⁶ If ean anyone tis would serve diakoneō me egō, he must follow akoloutheō me egō; and kai where hopou I egō am eimi, my emos servant diakonos will be eimi there ekei also kai. · ho · ho If ean anyone tis would serve diakoneō me egō, the ho Father patēr will honor timaō him autos.

²⁷ “ Now nyn is · ho my egō heart psychē deeply troubled tarassō. And kai what tis am I to say legō? ‘ Father patēr, deliver sōzō me egō from ek · ho this houtos hour hōra’? But alla for dia this houtos very purpose I have come erchomai to eis · ho this houtos hour hōra! ²⁸ Father patēr, glorify doxazō your sy · ho name onoma.” Then oun a voice phōnē came erchomai from ek · ho heaven ouranos: · kai “ I have glorified doxazō it, and kai I will glorify doxazō it again palin.” ²⁹ The ho crowd ochlos that ho was standing histēmi there and kai had heard akouō the voice said legō that it was ginomai thunder brontē; others allos said legō, “An angel angelos has spoken laleō to him autos.” ³⁰ Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai, · kai saying legō, “ This houtos voice phōnē was ginomai not ou for dia my egō benefit, · ho but alla for dia yours hymeis.

³¹ “ Now nyn is eimi the judgment krisis of ho this houtos world kosmos; now nyn will the ho ruler archōn of ho this houtos world kosmos be driven ekballō out exō. ³² And kagō I , when ean I am lifted hypsoō up from ek the ho earth gē, will draw all pas people to pros myself emautou.” ³³ He said legō this houtos · de to signify sēmainō the kind poios of death thanatos he was going mellō to die apothnēskō. ³⁴ The ho crowd ochlos responded apokrinomai, “ We hēmeis have heard akouō from ek the ho law nomos that hoti the ho Christ Christos is to remain menō for eis all ho time aiōn; so kai how pōs is it that you sy are saying legō that hoti the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos must dei be lifted hypsoō up ? Who tis is eimi this houtos · ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos?” ³⁵ Then oun Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho “ The ho light phōs will be eimi with en you hymeis for yet eti a little mikros while chronos. Keep walking peripateō while hōs you have echō the ho light phōs, so hina that the darkness skotia will katalambanō not mē overtake katalambanō you hymeis. · kai The ho one who walks peripateō in en the ho darkness skotia does not ou know oida where pou he is going hypagō. ³⁶ While hōs you have echō the ho light phōs, believe pisteuō in eis the ho light phōs, so hina that you may become ginomai sons hyios of light phōs.” When Jesus Iēsous said laleō these houtos things , · kai he went aperchomai away and hid kryptō himself from apo them autos.
