1 Corinthians 1:1 (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."

4 I thank G2168 V-PAI-1S my G3588 T-DSM God G2316 N-DSM always G3842 ADV on your behalf G4012 PREP , for G1909 PREP the G3588 T-DSF grace G5485 N-DSF of G3588 T-DSF God G2316 N-GSM which is given G1325 V-APP-DSF you G5213 P-2DP by G1722 PREP Jesus G2424 N-DSM Christ G5547 N-DSM ;

6 Even as G2531 ADV the G3588 T-NSN testimony G3142 N-NSN of Christ G5547 N-GSM was confirmed G950 V-API-3S in G1722 PREP you G5213 P-2DP :

8 Who G3739 R-NSM shall also G2532 CONJ confirm G950 V-FAI-3S you G5209 P-2AP unto G2193 CONJ the end G5056 N-GSN , that ye may be blameless G410 A-APM in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSF day G2250 N-DSF of G3588 T-GSM our G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM Jesus G2424 N-GSM Christ G5547 N-GSM .
9 God G2316 N-NSM is faithful G4103 A-NSM , by G1223 PREP whom G3739 R-GSM ye were called G2564 V-API-2P unto G1519 PREP the fellowship G2842 N-ASF of G3588 T-GSM his G3588 T-GSM Son G5207 N-GSM Jesus G2424 N-GSM Christ G5547 N-GSM our G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM .
10 Now G1161 CONJ I beseech G3870 V-PAI-1S you G5209 P-2AP , brethren G80 N-VPM , by G1223 PREP the G3588 T-GSN name G3686 N-GSN of G3588 T-GSM our G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM Jesus G2424 N-GSM Christ G5547 N-GSM , that G2443 CONJ ye all G3956 A-NPM speak G3004 V-PAS-2P the G3588 T-ASN same thing G846 P-ASN , and G2532 CONJ that there be G5600 V-PXS-3S no G3361 PRT-N divisions G4978 N-NPN among G1722 PREP you G5213 P-2DP ; but G1161 CONJ that ye be G5600 V-PXS-2P perfectly joined together G2675 V-RPP-NPM in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSM same G846 P-DSM mind G3563 N-DSM and G2532 CONJ in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSF same G846 P-DSF judgment G1106 N-DSF .
11 For G1063 CONJ it hath been declared G1213 V-API-3S unto me G3427 P-1DS of G4012 PREP you G5216 P-2GP , my G3450 P-1GS brethren G80 N-VPM , by G5259 PREP them G3588 T-GPM which G3588 T-GPM are of G3588 T-GPM the G3588 T-GPM house of Chloe G5514 N-GSF , that G3754 CONJ there are G1526 V-PXI-3P contentions G2054 N-NPF among G1722 PREP you G5213 P-2DP .
12 Now G1161 CONJ this G5124 D-ASN I say G3004 V-PAI-1S , that G3754 CONJ every one G1538 A-NSM of you G5216 P-2GP saith G3004 V-PAI-3S , I G1473 P-1NS am G1510 V-PXI-1S of Paul G3972 N-GSM ; and G1161 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS of Apollos G625 N-GSM ; and G1161 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS of Cephas G2786 N-GSM ; and G1161 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS of Christ G5547 N-GSM .
13 Is Christ G5547 N-NSM divided G3307 V-RPI-3S ? was G3361 PRT-N Paul G3972 N-NSM crucified G4717 V-API-3S for G5228 PREP you G5216 P-2GP ? or G2228 PRT were ye baptized G907 V-API-2P in G1519 PREP the G3588 T-ASN name G3686 N-ASN of Paul G3972 N-GSM ?
14 I G3588 T-DSM thank G2168 V-PAI-1S God G2316 N-DSM that G3754 CONJ I baptized G907 V-AAI-1S none G3762 A-ASM of you G5216 P-2GP , but G1508 Crispus G2921 N-ASM and G2532 CONJ Gaius G1050 N-ASM ;
15 Lest G3363 any G5100 X-NSM should say G2036 V-2AAS-3S that G3754 CONJ I had baptized G907 V-AAI-1S in G1519 PREP mine own G1699 S-1ASN name G3686 N-ASN .
16 And G1161 CONJ I baptized G907 V-AAI-1S also G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-ASM household G3624 N-ASM of Stephanas G4734 N-GSM : besides G3063 A-ASN , I know G1492 V-RAI-1S not G3756 PRT-N whether I baptized any G1536 other G243 A-ASM .
17 For G1063 CONJ Christ G5547 N-NSM sent G649 V-AAI-3S me G3165 P-1AS not G3756 PRT-N to baptize G907 V-PAN , but G235 CONJ to preach the gospel G2097 V-PMN : not G3756 PRT-N with G1722 PREP wisdom G4678 N-DSF of words G3056 N-GSM , lest G3363 the G3588 T-NSM cross G4716 N-NSM of Christ G5547 N-GSM should be made of none effect G2758 V-APS-3S .
18 For G1063 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM preaching G3056 N-NSM of G3588 T-NSM the G3588 T-GSM cross G4716 N-GSM is G2076 V-PXI-3S to them that perish G622 V-PEP-DPM foolishness G3472 N-NSF ; but G1161 CONJ unto us G2254 P-1DP which G3588 T-DPM are saved G4982 V-PPP-DPM it is G2076 V-PXI-3S the power G1411 N-NSF of God G2316 N-GSM .
19 For G1063 CONJ it is written G1125 V-RPI-3S , I will destroy G622 V-FAI-1S the G3588 T-ASF wisdom G4678 N-ASF of G3588 T-GPM the G3588 T-GPM wise G4680 A-GPM , and G2532 CONJ will bring to nothing G114 V-FAI-1S the G3588 T-ASF understanding G4907 N-ASF of G3588 T-GPM the G3588 T-GPM prudent G4908 A-GPM .
20 Where G4226 PRT-I is the wise G4680 A-NSM ? where G4226 PRT-I is the scribe G1122 N-NSM ? where G4226 PRT-I is the disputer G4804 N-NSM of G3588 T-GSM this G3588 T-GSM world G165 N-GSM ? hath not G3780 PRT-I God G2316 N-NSM made foolish G3471 V-AAI-3S the G3588 T-ASF wisdom G4678 N-ASF of G3588 T-GSM this G3588 T-GSM world G2889 N-GSM ?
21 For G1063 CONJ after that G1894 CONJ in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSF wisdom G4678 N-DSF of God G2316 N-GSM the G3588 T-NSM world G2889 N-NSM by G1223 PREP wisdom G4678 N-GSF knew G1097 V-2AAI-3S not G3756 PRT-N God G2316 N-ASM , it G3588 T-NSM pleased G2106 V-AAI-3S God G2316 N-NSM by G1223 PREP the G3588 T-GSF foolishness G3472 N-GSF of preaching G2782 N-GSN to save G4982 V-AAN them that believe G4100 V-PAP-APM .
22 For G1894 CONJ the G2532 CONJ Jews G2453 A-NPM require G154 V-PAI-3P a sign G4592 N-ASN , and G2532 CONJ the Greeks G1672 N-NPM seek after G2212 V-PAI-3P wisdom G4678 N-ASF :
23 But G1161 CONJ we G2249 P-1NP preach G2784 V-PAI-1P Christ G5547 N-ASM crucified G4717 V-RPP-ASM , unto the Jews G2453 A-DPM a G3303 PRT stumblingblock G4625 N-ASN , and G1161 CONJ unto the Greeks G1672 N-DPM foolishness G3472 N-ASF ;
24 But G1161 CONJ unto them G3588 T-DPM which are called G2822 A-DPM , both G5037 PRT Jews G2453 A-DPM and G2532 CONJ Greeks G1672 N-DPM , Christ G5547 N-ASM the power G1411 N-ASF of God G2316 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ the wisdom G4678 N-ASF of God G2316 N-GSM .
25 Because G3754 CONJ the G3588 T-NSN foolishness G3474 A-NSN of God G2316 N-GSM is G2076 V-PXI-3S wiser G4680 A-NSN-C than men G444 N-GPM ; and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSN weakness G772 A-NSN of God G2316 N-GSM is G2076 V-PXI-3S stronger G2478 A-NSN-C than men G444 N-GPM .
26 For G1063 CONJ ye see G991 V-PAI-2P your G3588 T-ASF calling G2821 N-ASF , brethren G80 N-VPM , how that G3754 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N many G4183 A-NPM wise men G4680 A-NPM after G2596 PREP the flesh G4561 N-ASF , not G3756 PRT-N many G4183 A-NPM mighty G1415 A-NPM , not G3756 PRT-N many G4183 A-NPM noble G2104 A-NPM , are called :
27 But G235 CONJ God G2316 N-NSM hath chosen G1586 V-AMI-3S the G3588 T-APN foolish things G3474 A-APN of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM world G2889 N-GSM to G2443 CONJ confound G2617 V-PAS-3S the G3588 T-APM wise G4680 A-APM ; and G2532 CONJ God G2316 N-NSM hath chosen G1586 V-AMI-3S the G3588 T-APN weak things G772 A-APN of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM world G2889 N-GSM to G2443 CONJ confound G2617 V-PAS-3S the things which are mighty G2478 A-APN ;
28 And G2532 CONJ base things G36 A-APN of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM world G2889 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ things which are despised G1848 V-RPP-APN , hath God G2316 N-NSM chosen G1586 V-AMI-3S , yea , and G2532 CONJ things G3588 T-GSM which G3588 T-APN are G5607 V-PXP-APN not G3361 PRT-N , to G2443 CONJ bring to naught G2673 V-AAS-3S things that are G5607 V-PXP-APN :
29 That G3704 ADV no G3956 A-NSF flesh G4561 N-NSF should glory G2744 V-ADS-3S in his presence G1799 ADV .
30 But G1161 CONJ of G1537 PREP him G846 P-GSM are G2075 V-PXI-2P ye G5210 P-2NP in G1722 PREP Christ G5547 N-DSM Jesus G2424 N-DSM , who G3739 R-NSM of G575 PREP God G2316 N-GSM is made G1096 V-AOI-3S unto us G2254 P-1DP wisdom G4678 N-NSF , and G5037 PRT righteousness G1343 N-NSF , and G2532 CONJ sanctification G38 N-NSM , and G2532 CONJ redemption G629 N-NSF :
31 That G2443 CONJ , according as G2531 ADV it is written G1125 V-RPI-3S , He G3588 T-NSM that glorieth G2744 V-PNP-NSM , let him glory G2744 V-PNM-3S in G1722 PREP the Lord G2962 N-DSM .
