The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
14 gratias ago Deo quod neminem vestrum baptizavi nisi Crispum et Gaium
14
I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15 ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati sitis
15
so no one can say that you were baptized in my name.
16 baptizavi autem et Stephanae domum ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim
16
(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.)
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 and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
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; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
20 ubi sapiens ubi scriba ubi conquisitor huius saeculi nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam huius mundi
20
Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the 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 its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
22 quoniam et Iudaei signa petunt et Graeci sapientiam quaerunt
22
Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom,
23 nos autem praedicamus Christum crucifixum Iudaeis quidem scandalum gentibus autem stultitiam
23
but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
24 ipsis autem vocatis Iudaeis atque Graecis Christum Dei virtutem et Dei sapientiam
24
but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
