1 Coríntios 1

1Paulo, chamado apóstolo de Jesus Cristo pela vontade de Deus, e o irmão Sóstenes, 2À igreja de Deus que está em Corinto, aos santificados em Cristo Jesus, chamados santos, com todos os que em todo lugar invocam o nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, Senhor deles, e nosso; 3Graça seja convosco, e a paz de Deus nosso Pai, e do Senhor Jesus Cristo. 4Sempre agradeço ao meu Deus por causa de vós, pela graça de Deus, que é dada a vós em Cristo Jesus. 5Que em todas as coisas estais enriquecidos nele, em toda palavra, e em todo conhecimento; 6Assim como o testemunho de Jesus Cristo foi confirmado entre vós. 7De maneira que nenhum dom vos falta, enquanto esperais a manifestação do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, 8o qual também vos firmará até o fim, irrepreensíveis no dia de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo. 9Deus é fiel, por quem fostes chamados para a comunhão do seu Filho Jesus Cristo, nosso Senhor. 10Mas eu vos rogo, irmãos, pelo nome do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que todos faleis uma mesma coisa, e não haja divisões entre vós; antes estejais juntos com o mesmo entendimento, e com a mesma opinião. 11Porque, irmãos meus, me foi informado de vós, pelos da casa de Cloé, que há brigas entre vós. 12E digo isto, que cada um de vós diz: “Eu sou de Paulo” e “Eu sou de Apolo” e “Eu sou de Cefas” e “Eu sou de Cristo”. 13Cristo está dividido? Paulo foi crucificado por vós? Ou fostes vós batizados no nome de Paulo? 14Agradeço a Deus que batizei nenhum de vós, a não ser Crispo e Gaio; 15para que ninguém diga que eu tenha batizado em meu nome. 16Também batizei aos da casa de Estefanas; além desses, não sei se batizei algum outro. 17Porque Cristo não me enviou para batizar, mas sim, para evangelizar; não com sabedoria de palavras, para que a cruz de Cristo não se torne inútil. 18Porque a palavra da cruz é loucura para os que perecem; mas para os que se salvam é poder de Deus. 19Porque está escrito: Destruirei a sabedoria dos sábios, e aniquilarei a inteligência dos inteligentes. 20Onde está o sábio? Onde está o escriba? Onde está o questionador destes tempos? Por acaso Deus não fez de loucura a sabedoria deste mundo? 21Porque já que, na sabedoria de Deus, o mundo não conheceu a Deus pela sabedoria, Deus se agradou de salvar aos crentes pela loucura da pregação. 22Porque os judeus pedem sinal, e os gregos buscam sabedoria. 23Mas nós pregamos a Cristo crucificado, que é escândalo para os Judeus, e loucura para os gregos. 24Porém aos que são chamados, tanto judeus como gregos, Cristo é poder de Deus e sabedoria de Deus. 25Porque a loucura de Deus é mais sábia que os seres humanos; e a fraqueza de Deus é mais forte que os seres humanos. 26Vede, pois, o vosso chamado, irmãos; pois dentre vós não há muitos sábios segundo a carne, nem muitos poderosos, nem muitos da elite. 27Mas Deus escolheu as coisas loucas deste mundo para envergonhar as sábias; e Deus escolheu as fracas deste mundo, para envergonhar as fortes. 28E Deus escolheu as coisas desprezíveis deste mundo, e as sem valor, e as que não são, para aniquilar as que são. 29Para que ninguém orgulhe de si diante dele. 30Mas vós sois dele em Jesus Cristo, o qual de Deus nos foi feito sabedoria, e justiça, e santificação, e resgate. 31Para que, como está escrito: Aquele que se orgulha, orgulhe-se no Senhor.

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.
