1 Mga Corinto 1

1Si Pablo, na tinawag na maging apostol ni Jesucristo sa pamamagitan ng kalooban ng Dios, at si Sostenes na ating kapatid, 2Sa iglesia ng Dios na nasa Corinto, sa makatuwid baga'y sa mga pinapagingbanal kay Cristo Jesus, na tinawag na mangagbanal, na kasama ng lahat ng mga nagsisitawag sa bawa't dako, sa pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo, na kanila at ating Panginoon: 3Sumainyo nawa ang biyaya at kapayapaang mula sa Dios na ating Ama at sa Panginoong Jesucristo. 4Nagpapasalamat akong lagi sa aking Dios tungkol sa inyo, dahil sa biyaya ng Dios na ipinagkaloob sa inyo sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus; 5Na kayo ay pinayaman sa kanya, sa lahat ng mga bagay sa lahat ng pananalita at sa lahat ng kaalaman; 6Gaya ng pinagtibay sa inyo ang patotoo ni Cristo: 7Ano pa't kayo'y hindi nagkulang sa anomang kaloob; na nagsisipaghintay ng paghahayag ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo; 8Na siya namang magpapatibay sa inyo hanggang sa katapusan, upang huwag kayong mapagwikaan sa kaarawan ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo. 9Ang Dios ay tapat, na sa pamamagitan niya ay tinawag kayo sa pakikisama ng kaniyang anak na si Jesucristo na Panginoon natin. 10Ngayo'y ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo, mga kapatid, sa pamamagitan ng pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo, na kayong lahat ay mangagsalita ng isa lamang bagay, at huwag mangagkaroon sa inyo ng mga pagkakabahabahagi; kundi kayo'y mangalubos sa isa lamang pagiisip at isa lamang paghatol. 11Sapagka't ipinatalastas sa akin tungkol sa inyo, mga kapatid ko, ng mga kasangbahay ni Cloe, na sa inyo'y may mga pagtatalotalo. 12Ibig ko ngang sabihin ito, na ang bawa't isa sa inyo ay nagsasabi, Ako'y kay Pablo; at ako'y kay Apolos; at ako'y kay Cefas; at ako'y kay Cristo. 13Nabahagi baga si Cristo? ipinako baga sa krus si Pablo dahil sa inyo? o binautismuhan baga kayo sa pangalan ni Pablo? 14Nagpapasalamat ako sa Dios na hindi ko binautismuhan ang sinoman sa inyo, maliban si Crispo at si Gayo; 15Baka masabi ninoman na kayo'y binautismuhan sa pangalan ko. 16At binautismuhan ko rin naman ang sangbahayan ni Estefanas: maliban sa mga ito, di ko maalaman kung may nabautismuhan akong iba pa. 17Sapagka't hindi ako sinugo ni Cristo upang bumautismo, kundi upang mangaral ng evangelio: hindi sa karunungan ng mga salita baka mawalan ng kabuluhan ang krus ni Cristo. 18Sapagka't ang salita ng krus ay kamangmangan sa kanila na nangapapahamak; nguni't ito'y kapangyarihan ng Dios sa atin na nangaliligtas. 19Sapagka't nasusulat, Iwawalat ko ang karunungan ng marurunong, At isasawala ko ang kabaitan ng mababait. 20Saan naroon ang marunong? saan naroon ang eskriba? saan naroon ang mapagmatuwid sa sanglibutang ito? hindi baga ginawa ng Dios na kamangmangan ang karunungan ng sanglibutan? 21Sapagka't yamang sa karunungan ng Dios ay hindi nakilala ng sanglibutan ang Dios sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang karunungan, ay kinalugdan ng Dios na iligtas ang mga nagsisipanampalataya sa pamamagitan ng kamangmangan ng pangangaral. 22Ang mga Judio nga ay nagsisihingi ng mga tanda, at ang mga Griego ay nagsisihanap ng karunungan: 23Datapuwa't ang aming ipinangangaral ay ang Cristo na napako sa krus, na sa mga Judio ay katitisuran, at sa mga Gentil ay kamangmangan; 24Nguni't sa kanila na mga tinawag, maging mga Judio at mga Griego, si Cristo ang kapangyarihan ng Dios, at ang karunungan ng Dios. 25Sapagka't ang kamangmangan ng Dios ay lalong marunong kay sa mga tao; at ang kahinaan ng Dios ay lalong malakas kay sa mga tao. 26Sapagka't masdan ninyo ang sa inyo'y pagkatawag, mga kapatid, na hindi ang maraming marurunong ayon sa laman, hindi ang maraming may kapangyarihan, hindi ang maraming mahal na tao ang mga tinawag: 27Kundi pinili ng Dios ang mga bagay na kamangmangan ng sanglibutan, upang hiyain niya ang mga marurunong; at pinili ng Dios ang mga bagay na mahihina ng sanglibutan, upang hiyain niya ang mga bagay na malalakas; 28At ang mga bagay na mababa ng sanglibutan, at ang mga bagay na hinamak, ang pinili ng Dios, oo at ang mga bagay na walang halaga upang mawalang halaga ang mga bagay na mahahalaga: 29Upang walang laman na magmapuri sa harapan ng Dios. 30Datapuwa't sa kaniya kayo'y nangasa kay Cristo Jesus, na sa atin ay ginawang karunungang mula sa Dios, at katuwiran at kabanalan, at katubusan: 31Na, ayon sa nasusulat, Ang nagmamapuri, ay magmapuri sa Panginoon.

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.
