1 Corinthians 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,	1 Παυλος, προσκεκλημενος αποστολος Ιησου Χριστου δια θεληματος Θεου, και Σωσθενης ο αδελφος,
2 to the church of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all those everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.	2 προς την εκκλησιαν του Θεου την ουσαν εν Κορινθω, τους ηγιασμενους εν Χριστω Ιησου, τους προσκεκλημενους αγιους, μετα παντων των επικαλουμενων εν παντι τοπω το ονομα Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων, αυτων τε και ημων?
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.	3 χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.
4 I give thanks to my God always on your account for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus,	4 Ευχαριστω παντοτε εις τον Θεον μου δια σας, δια την χαριν του Θεου την δοθεισαν εις εσας δια του Ιησου Χριστου?
5 that in him you were enriched in every way, with all discourse and all knowledge,	5 οτι κατα παντα επλουτισθητε δι' αυτου, κατα παντα λογον και πασαν γνωσιν,
6 as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you,	6 καθως η μαρτυρια του Χριστου εστηριχθη μεταξυ σας,
7 so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.	7 ωστε δεν μενετε οπισω εις ουδεν χαρισμα, προσμενοντες την αποκαλυψιν του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου?
8 He will keep you firm to the end, irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus (Christ).	8 οστις και θελει σας στηριξει εως τελους αμεμπτους εν τη ημερα του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου.
9 God is faithful, and by him you were called to fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.	9 Πιστος ο Θεος, δια του οποιου προσεκληθητε εις το να ησθε συγκοινωνοι του Υιου αυτου Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων.
10 I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.	10 Σας παρακαλω δε, αδελφοι, δια του ονοματος του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου, να λεγητε παντες το αυτο, και να μη ηναι σχισματα μεταξυ σας, αλλα να ησθε εντελως ηνωμενοι εχοντες το αυτο πνευμα και την αυτην γνωμην.
11 For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers, by Chloe's people, that there are rivalries among you.	11 Διοτι εφανερωθη εις εμε παρα των εκ της οικογενειας της Χλοης, περι υμων, αδελφοι μου, οτι ειναι εριδες μεταξυ σας?
12 I mean that each of you is saying, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apollos," or "I belong to Kephas," or "I belong to Christ."	12 λεγω δε τουτο, διοτι εκαστος απο σας λεγει? Εγω μεν ειμαι του Παυλου, εγω δε του Απολλω, εγω δε του Κηφα, εγω δε του Χριστου.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?	13 Διεμερισθη ο Χριστος; μηπως ο Παυλος εσταυρωθη δια σας; η εις το ονομα του Παυλου εβαπτισθητε;
14 I give thanks (to God) that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,	14 Ευχαριστω εις τον Θεον οτι ουδενα απο σας εβαπτισα, ειμη Κρισπον και Γαιον,
15 so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.	15 δια να μη ειπη τις οτι εις το ονομα μου εβαπτισα.
16 (I baptized the household of Stephanas also; beyond that I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.)	16 Εβαπτισα δε και τον οικον του Στεφανα? εκτος τουτων δεν εξευρω εαν εβαπτισα αλλον τινα.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with the wisdom of human eloquence, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its meaning.	17 Διοτι δεν με απεστειλεν ο Χριστος δια να βαπτιζω, αλλα δια να κηρυττω το ευαγγελιον, ουχι εν σοφια λογου, δια να μη ματαιωθη ο σταυρος του Χριστου.
18 The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.	18 Διοτι ο λογος του σταυρου εις μεν τους απολλυμενους ειναι μωρια, εις ημας δε τους σωζομενους ειναι δυναμις Θεου.
19 For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the learning of the learned I will set aside."	19 Επειδη ειναι γεγραμμενον? Θελω απολεσει την σοφιαν των σοφων, και θελω αθετησει την συνεσιν των συνετων.
20 Where is the wise one? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish?	20 Που ο σοφος; που ο γραμματευς; που ο συζητητης του αιωνος τουτου; δεν εμωρανεν ο Θεος την σοφιαν του κοσμου τουτου;
21 For since in the wisdom of God the world did not come to know God through wisdom, it was the will of God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those who have faith.	21 Διοτι επειδη εν τη σοφια του Θεου ο κοσμος δεν εγνωρισε τον Θεον δια της σοφιας, ηυδοκησεν ο Θεος δια της μωριας του κηρυγματος να σωση τους πιστευοντας.
22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom,	22 Επειδη και οι Ιουδαιοι σημειον αιτουσι και οι Ελληνες σοφιαν ζητουσιν,
23 but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,	23 ημεις δε κηρυττομεν Χριστον εσταυρωμενον, εις μεν τους Ιουδαιους σκανδαλον, εις δε τους Ελληνας μωριαν,
24 but to those who are called, Jews and Greeks alike, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.	24 εις αυτους ομως τους προσκεκλημενους, Ιουδαιους τε και Ελληνας, Χριστον Θεου δυναμιν και Θεου σοφιαν?
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.	25 διοτι το μωρον του Θεου ειναι σοφωτερον των ανθρωπων, και το ασθενες του Θεου ειναι ισχυροτερον των ανθρωπων.
26 Consider your own calling, brothers. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.	26 Επειδη βλεπετε την προσκλησιν σας, αδελφοι, οτι εισθε ου πολλοι σοφοι κατα σαρκα, ου πολλοι δυνατοι, ου πολλοι ευγενεις.
27 Rather, God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong,	27 Αλλα τα μωρα του κοσμου εξελεξεν ο Θεος δια να καταισχυνη τους σοφους, και τα ασθενη του κοσμου εξελεξεν ο Θεος δια να καταισχυνη τα ισχυρα,
28 and God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who are something,	28 και τα αγενη του κοσμου και τα εξουθενημενα εξελεξεν ο Θεος, και τα μη οντα, δια να καταργηση τα οντα,
29 so that no human being might boast before God.	29 δια να μη καυχηθη ουδεμια σαρξ ενωπιον αυτου.
30 It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption,	30 Αλλα σεις εισθε εξ αυτου εν Χριστω Ιησου, οστις εγενηθη εις ημας σοφια απο Θεου, δικαιοσυνη τε και αγιασμος και απολυτρωσις?
31 so that, as it is written, "Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord."	31 ωστε, καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον, Ο καυχωμενος εν Κυριω ας καυχαται.
