고린도전서 1

1하나님의 뜻을 따라 그리스도 예수의 사도로 부르심을 입은 바울과 및 형제 소스데네는 2고린도에 있는 하나님의 교회 곧 그리스도 예수 안에서 거룩하여지고 성도라 부르심을 입은 자들과 또 각처에서 우리의 주 곧 저희와 우리의 주 되신 예수 그리스도의 이름을 부르는 모든 자들에게 3하나님 우리 아버지와 주 예수 그리스도로 좇아 은혜와 평강이 있기를 원하노라 4그리스도 예수 안에서 너희에게 주신 하나님의 은혜를 인하여 내가 너희를 위하여 항상 하나님께 감사하노니 5이는 너희가 그의 안에서 모든 일 곧 모든 구변과 모든 지식에 풍족하므로 6그리스도의 증거가 너희 중에 견고케 되어 7너희가 모든 은사에 부족함이 없이 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 나타나심을 기다림이라 8주께서 너희를 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 날에 책망할 것이 없는 자로 끝까지 견고케 하시리라 9너희를 불러 그의 아들 예수 그리스도 우리 주로 더불어 교제케 하시는 하나님은 미쁘시도다 10형제들아 내가 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 이름으로 너희를 권하노니 다 같은 말을 하고 너희 가운데 분쟁이 없이 같은 마음과 같은 뜻으로 온전히 합하라 11내 형제들아 글로에의 집 편으로서 너희에게 대한 말이 내게 들리니 곧 너희 가운데 분쟁이 있다는 것이라 12이는 다름아니라 너희가 각각 이르되 나는 바울에게, 나는 아볼로에게, 나는 게바에게, 나는 그리스도에게 속한 자라 하는 것이니 13그리스도께서 어찌 나뉘었느뇨 바울이 너희를 위하여 십자가에 못 박혔으며 바울의 이름으로 너희가 침례를 받았느뇨 14그리스보와 가이오 외에는 너희 중 아무에게도 내가 침례를 주지 아니한 것을 감사하노니 15이는 아무도 나의 이름으로 침례를 받았다 말하지 못하게 하려함이라 16내가 또한 스데바나 집 사람에게 침례를 주었고 그 외에는 다른 아무에게 침례를 주었는지 알지 못하노라 17그리스도께서 나를 보내심은 침례를 주게 하려 하심이 아니요 오직 복음을 전케 하려 하심이니 말의 지혜로 하지 아니함은 그리스도의 십자가가 헛되지 않게 하려 함이라 18십자가의 도가 멸망하는 자들에게는 미련한 것이요 구원을 얻는 우리에게는 하나님의 능력이라 19기록된 바 내가 지혜 있는 자들의 지혜를 멸하고 총명한 자들의 총명을 폐하리라 하였으니 20지혜 있는 자가 어디 있느뇨 선비가 어디 있느뇨 이 세대에 변사가 어디 있느뇨 하나님께서 이 세상의 지혜를 미련케 하신 것이 아니뇨 21하나님의 지혜에 있어서는 이 세상이 자기 지혜로 하나님을 알지 못하는 고로 하나님께서 전도의 미련한 것으로 믿는 자들을 구원하시기를 기뻐하셨도다 22유대인은 표적을 구하고 헬라인은 지혜를 찾으나 23우리는 십자가에 못 박힌 그리스도를 전하니 유대인에게는 거리끼는 것이요 이방인에게는 미련한 것이로되 24오직 부르심을 입은 자들에게는 유대인이나 헬라인이나 그리스도는 하나님의 능력이요 하나님의 지혜니라 25하나님의 미련한 것이 사람보다 지혜 있고 하나님의 약한 것이 사람보다 강하니라 26형제들아 너희를 부르심을 보라 육체를 따라 지혜 있는 자가 많지 아니하며 능한 자가 많지 아니하며 문벌 좋은 자가 많지 아니하도다 27그러나 하나님께서 세상의 미련한 것들을 택하사 지혜 있는 자들을 부끄럽게 하려 하시고 세상의 약한 것들을 택하사 강한 것들을 부끄럽게 하려 하시며 28하나님께서 세상의 천한 것들과 멸시 받는 것들과 없는 것들을 택하사 있는 것들을 폐하려 하시나니 29이는 아무 육체라도 하나님 앞에서 자랑하지 못하게 하려 하심이라 30너희는 하나님께로부터 나서 그리스도 예수 안에 있고 예수는 하나님께로서 나와서 우리에게 지혜와 의로움과 거룩함과 구속함이 되셨으니 31기록된 바 자랑하는 자는 주 안에서 자랑하라 함과 같게 하려 함이니라

1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, 2to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours: 3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus; 5that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge; 6even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 7so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; 8who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. 10Now I beg you, brothers, through 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 perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. 12Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.” 13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul? 14I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius, 15so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name. 16(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.) 17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void. 18For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.” 20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe. 22For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble; 27but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong; 28and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are: 29that no flesh should boast before God. 30But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: 31that, according as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”

1Paulus, een geroepen apostel van Jezus Christus, door den wil van God, en Sosthenes, de broeder, 2Aan de Gemeente Gods, die te Korinthe is, den geheiligden in Christus Jezus, den geroepenen heiligen, met allen, die den Naam van onzen Heere Jezus Christus aanroepen in alle plaats, beide hun en onzen Heere; 3Genade zij u en vrede van God onzen Vader, en den Heere Jezus Christus. 4Ik dank mijn God allen tijd over u, vanwege de genade Gods, die u gegeven is in Christus Jezus; 5Dat gij in alles rijk zijt geworden in Hem, in alle rede en alle kennis; 6Gelijk de getuigenis van Christus bevestigd is onder u; 7Alzo dat het u aan gene gave ontbreekt, verwachtende de openbaring van onzen Heere Jezus Christus. 8Welke God u ook zal bevestigen tot het einde toe, om onstraffelijk te zijn in den dag van onzen Heere Jezus Christus. 9God is getrouw, door Welken gij geroepen zijt tot de gemeenschap van Zijn Zoon Jezus Christus, onzen Heere. 10Maar ik bid u, broeders, door den Naam van onzen Heere Jezus Christus, dat gij allen hetzelfde spreekt, en dat onder u geen scheuringen zijn, maar dat gij samengevoegd zijt in een zelfden zin, en in een zelfde gevoelen. 11Want mij is van u bekend gemaakt, mijn broeders, door die van het huisgezin van Chloe zijn, dat er twisten onder u zijn. 12En dit zeg ik, dat een iegelijk van u zegt: Ik ben van Paulus, en ik van Apollos; en ik van Cefas; en ik van Christus. 13Is Christus gedeeld? Is Paulus voor u gekruist? Of zijt gij in Paulus' naam gedoopt? 14Ik dank God, dat ik niemand van ulieden gedoopt heb, dan Krispus en Gajus; 15Opdat niet iemand zegge, dat ik in mijn naam gedoopt heb. 16Doch ik heb ook het huisgezin van Stefanus gedoopt; voorts weet ik niet, of ik iemand anders gedoopt heb. 17Want Christus heeft mij niet gezonden, om te dopen, maar om het Evangelie te verkondigen; niet met wijsheid van woorden, opdat het kruis van Christus niet verijdeld worde. 18Want het woord des kruises is wel dengenen, die verloren gaan, dwaasheid; maar ons, die behouden worden, is het een kracht Gods; 19Want er is geschreven: Ik zal de wijsheid der wijzen doen vergaan, en het verstand der verstandigen zal Ik te niet maken. 20Waar is de wijze? Waar is de schriftgeleerde? Waar is de onderzoeker dezer eeuw? Heeft God de wijsheid dezer wereld niet dwaas gemaakt? 21Want nademaal, in de wijsheid Gods, de wereld God niet heeft gekend door de wijsheid, zo heeft het Gode behaagd, door de dwaasheid der prediking, zalig te maken, die geloven; 22Overmits de Joden een teken begeren, en de Grieken wijsheid zoeken; 23Doch wij prediken Christus, den Gekruisigde, den Joden wel een ergernis, en den Grieken een dwaasheid; 24Maar hun, die geroepen zijn, beiden Joden en Grieken, prediken wij Christus, de kracht Gods, en de wijsheid Gods. 25Want het dwaze Gods is wijzer dan de mensen; en het zwakke Gods is sterker dan de mensen. 26Want gij ziet uw roeping, broeders, dat gij niet vele wijzen zijt naar het vlees, niet vele machtigen, niet vele edelen. 27Maar het dwaze der wereld heeft God uitverkoren, opdat Hij de wijzen beschamen zou; en het zwakke der wereld heeft God uitverkoren, opdat Hij het sterke zou beschamen; 28En het onedele der wereld, en het verachte heeft God uitverkoren, en hetgeen niets is, opdat Hij hetgeen iets is, te niet zou maken; 29Opdat geen vlees zou roemen voor Hem. 30Maar uit Hem zijt gij in Christus Jezus, Die ons geworden is wijsheid van God, en rechtvaardigheid, en heiligmaking, en verlossing; 31Opdat het zij, gelijk geschreven is: Die roemt, roeme in den Heere.
