The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 Paulus vocatus apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei et Sosthenes frater
1
Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
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
2
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
3 gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo
3
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei quae data est vobis in Christo Iesu
4
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,
5 quia in omnibus divites facti estis in illo in omni verbo et in omni scientia
5
that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge,
6 sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis
6
even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
7 ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia expectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Iesu Christi
7
so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
8 qui et confirmabit vos usque ad finem sine crimine in die adventus Domini nostri Iesu Christi
8
who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 fidelis Deus per quem vocati estis in societatem Filii eius Iesu Christi Domini nostri
9
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
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
10
Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab his qui sunt Chloes quia contentiones inter vos sunt
11
For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.
12 hoc autem dico quod unusquisque vestrum dicit ego quidem sum Pauli ego autem Apollo ego vero Cephae ego autem Christi
12
Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ."
13 divisus est Christus numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis
13
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 gratias ago Deo quod neminem vestrum baptizavi nisi Crispum et Gaium
14
I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15 ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati sitis
15
lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.
16 baptizavi autem et Stephanae domum ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim
16
Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.
17 non enim misit me Christus baptizare sed evangelizare non in sapientia verbi ut non evacuetur crux Christi
17
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
18 verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est his autem qui salvi fiunt id est nobis virtus Dei est
18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 scriptum est enim perdam sapientiam sapientium et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo
19
For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
20 ubi sapiens ubi scriba ubi conquisitor huius saeculi nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam huius mundi
20
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum placuit Deo per stultitiam praedicationis salvos facere credentes
21
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
22 quoniam et Iudaei signa petunt et Graeci sapientiam quaerunt
22
For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;
23 nos autem praedicamus Christum crucifixum Iudaeis quidem scandalum gentibus autem stultitiam
23
but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,
24 ipsis autem vocatis Iudaeis atque Graecis Christum Dei virtutem et Dei sapientiam
24
but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 quia quod stultum est Dei sapientius est hominibus et quod infirmum est Dei fortius est hominibus
25
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 videte enim vocationem vestram fratres quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem non multi potentes non multi nobiles
26
For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
27 sed quae stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus ut confundat sapientes et infirma mundi elegit Deus ut confundat fortia
27
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;
28 et ignobilia mundi et contemptibilia elegit Deus et quae non sunt ut ea quae sunt destrueret
28
and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,
29 ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu eius
29
that no flesh should glory in His presence.
30 ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Iesu qui factus est sapientia nobis a Deo et iustitia et sanctificatio et redemptio
30
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God--and righteousness and sanctification and redemption--
31 ut quemadmodum scriptum est qui gloriatur in Domino glorietur
31
that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord."
