1 Corinthians 1 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Sosthenes.
2 I am writing to God's church in Corinth, to you who have been called by God to be his own holy people. He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus, just as he did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.
3 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
4 I always thank my God for you and for the gracious gifts he has given you, now that you belong to Christ Jesus.
5 Through him, God has enriched your church in every way-- with all of your eloquent words and all of your knowledge.
6 This confirms that what I told you about Christ is true.
7 Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
9 God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.
11 For some members of Chloe's household have told me about your quarrels, my dear brothers and sisters.
12 Some of you are saying, "I am a follower of Paul." Others are saying, "I follow Apollos," or "I follow Peter, " or "I follow only Christ."
13 Has Christ been divided into factions? Was I, Paul, crucified for you? Were any of you baptized in the name of Paul? Of course not!
14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15 for now no one can say they were baptized in my name.
16 (Oh yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I don't remember baptizing anyone else.)
17 For Christ didn't send me to baptize, but to preach the Good News-- and not with clever speech, for fear that the cross of Christ would lose its power.
18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
19 As the Scriptures say, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent."
20 So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world's brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish.
21 Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe.
22 It is foolish to the Jews, who ask for signs from heaven. And it is foolish to the Greeks, who seek human wisdom.
23 So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it's all nonsense.
24 But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God's weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.
26 Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world's eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you.
27 Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.
28 God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important.
29 As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
30 God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.
31 Therefore, as the Scriptures say, "If you want to boast, boast only about the LORD."
1 Paul G3972 called G2822 to be an apostle G652 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 through G1223 the will G2307 of God, G2316 and G2532 Sosthenes G4988 our brother, G80
2 Unto the G3588 church G1577 of God G2316 which is G5607 at G1722 Corinth, G2882 to them that are sanctified G37 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 called G2822 to be saints, G40 with G4862 all G3956 that in G1722 every G3956 place G5117 call upon G1941 the G3588 name G3686 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our G2257 Lord, G2962 both G5037 theirs G848 and G2532 ours: G2257
3 Grace G5485 be unto you, G5213 and G2532 peace, G1515 from G575 God G2316 our G2257 Father, G3962 and G2532 from the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547
4 I thank G2168 my G3450 God G2316 always G3842 on your behalf G4012 G5216 , for G1909 the G3588 grace G5485 of God G2316 which is given G1325 you G5213 by G1722 Jesus G2424 Christ; G5547
5 That G3754 in G1722 every thing G3956 ye are enriched G4148 by G1722 him, G846 in G1722 all G3956 utterance, G3056 and G2532 in all G3956 knowledge; G1108
6 Even as G2531 the G3588 testimony G3142 of Christ G5547 was confirmed G950 in G1722 you: G5213
7 So that G5620 ye G5209 G3361 come behind G5302 in G1722 no G3367 gift; G5486 waiting for G553 the G3588 coming G602 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ: G5547
8 Who G3739 shall also G2532 confirm G950 you G5209 unto G2193 the end, G5056 that ye may be blameless G410 in G1722 the G3588 day G2250 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547
9 God G2316 is faithful, G4103 by G1223 whom G3739 ye were called G2564 unto G1519 the fellowship G2842 of his G848 Son G5207 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our G2257 Lord. G2962
10 Now G1161 I beseech G3870 you, G5209 brethren, G80 by G1223 the G3588 name G3686 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that G2443 ye all G3956 speak G3004 the G3588 same thing, G846 and G2532 that there be G5600 no G3361 divisions G4978 among G1722 you; G5213 but G1161 that ye be G5600 perfectly joined together G2675 in G1722 the G3588 same G846 mind G3563 and G2532 in G1722 the G3588 same G846 judgment. G1106
11 For G1063 it hath been declared G1213 unto me G3427 of G4012 you, G5216 my G3450 brethren, G80 by G5259 them G3588 which are of the house of Chloe, G5514 that G3754 there are G1526 contentions G2054 among G1722 you. G5213
12 Now G1161 this G5124 I say, G3004 that G3754 every one G1538 of you G5216 saith, G3004 I G1473 G3303 am G1510 of Paul; G3972 and G1161 I G1473 of Apollos; G625 and G1161 I G1473 of Cephas; G2786 and G1161 I G1473 of Christ. G5547
13 Is Christ G5547 divided G3307 ? was G3361 Paul G3972 crucified G4717 for G5228 you G5216 ? or G2228 were ye baptized G907 in G1519 the G3588 name G3686 of Paul G3972 ?
14 I thank G2168 God G2316 that G3754 I baptized G907 none G3762 of you, G5216 but G1508 Crispus G2921 and G2532 Gaius; G1050
15 Lest G3363 any G5100 should say G2036 that G3754 I had baptized G907 in G1519 mine own G1699 name. G3686
16 And G1161 I baptized G907 also G2532 the G3588 household G3624 of Stephanas: G4734 besides, G3063 I know G1492 not G3756 whether I baptized any G1536 G907 other. G243
17 For G1063 Christ G5547 sent G649 me G3165 not G3756 to baptize, G907 but G235 to preach the gospel: G2097 not G3756 with G1722 wisdom G4678 of words, G3056 lest G3363 the G3588 cross G4716 of Christ G5547 should be made of none effect. G2758
18 For G1063 the G3588 preaching G3056 of G3588 the G3588 cross G4716 is G2076 to them that perish G622 G3303 foolishness; G3472 but G1161 unto us G2254 which G3588 are saved G4982 it is G2076 the power G1411 of God. G2316
19 For G1063 it is written, G1125 I will destroy G622 the G3588 wisdom G4678 of the G3588 wise, G4680 and G2532 will bring to nothing G114 the G3588 understanding G4907 of the G3588 prudent. G4908
20 Where G4226 is the wise G4680 ? where G4226 is the scribe G1122 ? where G4226 is the disputer G4804 of this G5127 world G165 ? hath not G3780 God G2316 made foolish G3471 the G3588 wisdom G4678 of this G5127 world G2889 ?
21 For G1063 after that G1894 in G1722 the G3588 wisdom G4678 of God G2316 the G3588 world G2889 by G1223 wisdom G4678 knew G1097 not G3756 God, G2316 it pleased G2106 God G2316 by G1223 the G3588 foolishness G3472 of preaching G2782 to save G4982 them that believe. G4100
22 For G1894 the G2532 Jews G2453 require G154 a sign, G4592 and G2532 the Greeks G1672 seek after G2212 wisdom: G4678
23 But G1161 we G2249 preach G2784 Christ G5547 crucified, G4717 unto the Jews G2453 a G3303 stumblingblock, G4625 and G1161 unto the Greeks G1672 foolishness; G3472
24 But G1161 unto them G846 which are called, G2822 both G5037 Jews G2453 and G2532 Greeks, G1672 Christ G5547 the power G1411 of God, G2316 and G2532 the wisdom G4678 of God. G2316
25 Because G3754 the G3588 foolishness G3474 of God G2316 is G2076 wiser G4680 than men; G444 and G2532 the G3588 weakness G772 of God G2316 is G2076 stronger G2478 than men. G444
26 For G1063 ye see G991 your G5216 calling, G2821 brethren, G80 how that G3754 not G3756 many G4183 wise men G4680 after G2596 the flesh, G4561 not G3756 many G4183 mighty, G1415 not G3756 many G4183 noble, G2104 are called :
27 But G235 God G2316 hath chosen G1586 the G3588 foolish things G3474 of the G3588 world G2889 to G2443 confound G2617 the G3588 wise; G4680 and G2532 God G2316 hath chosen G1586 the G3588 weak things G772 of the G3588 world G2889 to G2443 confound G2617 the things which are mighty; G2478
28 And G2532 base things G36 of the G3588 world, G2889 and G2532 things which are despised, G1848 hath God G2316 chosen, G1586 yea, and G2532 things G3588 which are G5607 not, G3361 to G2443 bring to naught G2673 things that are: G5607
29 That G3704 no G3956 G3361 flesh G4561 should glory G2744 in his presence G1799 G846 .
30 But G1161 of G1537 him G846 are G2075 ye G5210 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 who G3739 of G575 God G2316 is made G1096 unto us G2254 wisdom, G4678 and G5037 righteousness, G1343 and G2532 sanctification, G38 and G2532 redemption: G629
31 That G2443 , according as G2531 it is written, G1125 He G3588 that glorieth, G2744 let him glory G2744 in G1722 the Lord. G2962
