1 Corinthians 1

New Century Version NCV

1 From Paul. God called me to be an apostle of Christ Jesus because that is what God wanted. Also from Sosthenes, ourbrother in Christ.

2 To the church of God in Corinth, to you who have been made holy in Christ Jesus. You were called to be God's holy people with all people everywhere who pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ -- their Lord and ours:

3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace God has given you in Christ Jesus.

5 I thank God because in Christ you have been made rich in every way, in all your speaking and in all your knowledge.

6 Just as our witness about Christ has been guaranteed to you,

7 so you have every gift from God while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come again.

8 Jesus will keep you strong until the end so that there will be no wrong in you on the day our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

9 God, who has called you to share everything with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

10 I beg you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that all of you agree with each other and not be split into groups. I beg that you be completely joined together by having the same kind of thinking and the same purpose.

11 My brothers and sisters, some people from Chloe's family have told me quite plainly that there are quarrels among you.

12 This is what I mean: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another says, "I follow Apollos"; another says, "I follow Peter"; and another says, "I follow Christ."

13 Christ has been divided up into different groups! Did Paul die on the cross for you? No! Were you baptized in the name of Paul? No!

14 I thank God I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius

15 so that now no one can say you were baptized in my name.

16 (I also baptized the family of Stephanas, but I do not remember that I baptized anyone else.)

17 Christ did not send me to baptize people but to preach the Good News. And he sent me to preach the Good News without using words of human wisdom so that the crossn of Christ would not lose its power.

18 The teaching about the cross is foolishness to those who are being lost, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 It is written in the Scriptures: "I will cause the wise men to lose their wisdom; I will make the wise men unable to understand."

20 Where is the wise person? Where is the educated person? Where is the skilled talker of this world? God has made the wisdom of the world foolish.

21 In the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its own wisdom. So God chose to use the message that sounds foolish to save those who believe.

22 The Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks want wisdom.

23 But we preach a crucified Christ. This is a big problem to the Jews, and it is foolishness to those who are not Jews.

24 But Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God to those people God has called -- Jews and Greeks.

25 Even the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

26 Brothers and sisters, look at what you were when God called you. Not many of you were wise in the way the world judges wisdom. Not many of you had great influence. Not many of you came from important families.

27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and he chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

28 He chose what the world thinks is unimportant and what the world looks down on and thinks is nothing in order to destroy what the world thinks is important.

29 God did this so that no one can brag in his presence.

30 Because of God you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God. In Christ we are put right with God, and have been made holy, and have been set free from sin.

31 So, as the Scripture says, "If someone wants to brag, he should brag only about the Lord."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Paulus vocatus apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei et Sosthenes frater

2 ecclesiae Dei quae est Corinthi sanctificatis in Christo Iesu vocatis sanctis cum omnibus qui invocant nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi in omni loco ipsorum et nostro

3 gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo

4 gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei quae data est vobis in Christo Iesu

5 quia in omnibus divites facti estis in illo in omni verbo et in omni scientia

6 sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis

7 ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia expectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Iesu Christi

8 qui et confirmabit vos usque ad finem sine crimine in die adventus Domini nostri Iesu Christi

9 fidelis Deus per quem vocati estis in societatem Filii eius Iesu Christi Domini nostri

10 obsecro autem vos fratres per nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi ut id ipsum dicatis omnes et non sint in vobis scismata sitis autem perfecti in eodem sensu et in eadem sententia

11 significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab his qui sunt Chloes quia contentiones inter vos sunt

12 hoc autem dico quod unusquisque vestrum dicit ego quidem sum Pauli ego autem Apollo ego vero Cephae ego autem Christi

13 divisus est Christus numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis

14 gratias ago Deo quod neminem vestrum baptizavi nisi Crispum et Gaium

15 ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati sitis

16 baptizavi autem et Stephanae domum ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim

17 non enim misit me Christus baptizare sed evangelizare non in sapientia verbi ut non evacuetur crux Christi

18 verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est his autem qui salvi fiunt id est nobis virtus Dei est

19 scriptum est enim perdam sapientiam sapientium et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo

20 ubi sapiens ubi scriba ubi conquisitor huius saeculi nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam huius mundi

21 nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum placuit Deo per stultitiam praedicationis salvos facere credentes

22 quoniam et Iudaei signa petunt et Graeci sapientiam quaerunt

23 nos autem praedicamus Christum crucifixum Iudaeis quidem scandalum gentibus autem stultitiam

24 ipsis autem vocatis Iudaeis atque Graecis Christum Dei virtutem et Dei sapientiam

25 quia quod stultum est Dei sapientius est hominibus et quod infirmum est Dei fortius est hominibus

26 videte enim vocationem vestram fratres quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem non multi potentes non multi nobiles

27 sed quae stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus ut confundat sapientes et infirma mundi elegit Deus ut confundat fortia

28 et ignobilia mundi et contemptibilia elegit Deus et quae non sunt ut ea quae sunt destrueret

29 ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu eius

30 ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Iesu qui factus est sapientia nobis a Deo et iustitia et sanctificatio et redemptio

31 ut quemadmodum scriptum est qui gloriatur in Domino glorietur
