1 Corinthians Chapter 1

            1^:1Paul, called (to be an) apostle of-Christ Jesus by (the) will of-God, and Sosthenes our brother, ² to-the church of-[the] God [the] being in Corinth, to-the sanctified ones-ones in Christ Jesus, called (to be) saints with all the-ones calling-on the name of-the Lord of-us Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours. ³ Grace to-you and peace from God (the) Father of-us and (the) Lord Jesus Christ.

            ⁴ I-thank the God of-me always about you for the grace of-[the] God [the] having-been-given to-you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ because in everything you-were-made rich in him, in all word and all knowledge, ⁶ even-as the testimony of-[the] Christ was-confirmed in you, ⁷ so-that you tend┘not└to-be-lacking in any gracious-gift, expectantly-awaiting the revelation of-the Lord of-us Jesus Christ, ⁸ who also will-continue-to-confirm you to (the) end blameless in the day of-the Lord of-us Jesus Christ. ⁹ [The] God (is) faithful through whom you-were-called into (the) fellowship of-the Son of-him Jesus Christ the Lord of-us.

            ¹⁰ Now I-beseech you, brothers, through the name of-the Lord of-us Jesus Christ in-order-that you-may-say the same-thing and no divisions my-be among you, but you-may-be united in the same mind and in the same purpose. ¹¹ For it-was-made-evident to-me about you, my brothers, by the-ones of-Chloe that quarrels are among you. ¹² Now I-say this, that. each of-you is saying, “I am of-Paul,” and “I (am) of-Apollos,” and “I (am) of-Cephas,” and “I (am) of Christ.” ¹³ Has┘Christ└been-divided-up? Paul was┘not^┘┘└crucified for you, ^└└was-he? Or you-were┘not^┘┘└baptized in the name of-Paul, ^└└were-you? ¹⁴ I-am-thankful [to-[the] God]^ms that I-baptized nobody of-you except² Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ in-order-that somebody would┘not└say that you-were-baptized in [the] my name. ¹⁶ And I┘also└did-baptize the household of-Stephanus. Besides I-do┘not└know whether I-baptized any other. ¹⁷ For Christ did┘not└send me to-perform-baptisms, but to-preach-the-good-news, not in wisdom of-word[s] in-order-that the cross of-[the] Christ might┘not└be-reduced.

            ¹⁸ For the word [the] of-the cross is foolishness to-the-ones perishing on-the-one-hand, but it-is (the) power of-God to-the-ones being-saved. ¹⁹ For it-has-been-written,

                        “I-will-destroy the wisdom of-the wise,

                        and the understanding of-the understanding-ones I-will-nullify/set-aside.”

²⁰ Where (is the) wise(-one)? Where (is the) scribe? Where (is the) skillful-reasoner of-this [the] world? [The] God made-foolish the wisdom of-the world, has-he-not? ²¹ For when in [the] wisdom of-[the] God the world did┘not└know [the] God by [the] wisdom, [the] God was-well-pleased by the ‘foolishness’ of-the thing-preached to-save the-ones believing. ²² For also Jews ask-for signs and Greeks seek wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to-Jews, on-the-one-hand, (a) stumbling block, and-on-the-other-hand to-Gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ to them the-ones called both Jews and Greeks, Christ (the) power of-God and wisdom of-God, ²⁵ because the foolishness of-[the] God is wiser than-[the] men and the weakness of-[the] God (is) stronger than-[the] men.

            ²⁶ For you-see the calling of-you, brothers, that not many wise, not many mighty, not many of-notable-birth. ²⁷ But the foolishness of-the world [the] God chose, in-order-that he-might-put┘the wise└to-shame; and the weaknesses of-the world [the] God chose, in-order-that he-might-put┘the wise└to-shame; ²⁸and the insignificant-things of-the world and the despised-things [the] God chose, the-things not being, in-order-that the-things being he-might-nullify, ²⁹ in-order-that every flesh may┘not└boast before [the] God. ³⁰ But from him you are in Christ Jesus, who became (the) wisdom of-us from God, both righteousness and sanctification and redemption, ³¹ in-order-that even-as it-has-been-written, “Let┘the-one boasting└boast in the Lord.”
