Prima lettera ai Corinzi - 1 Corinthians 3

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Και εγω, αδελφοι, δεν ηδυνηθην να λαλησω προς εσας ως προς πνευματικους, αλλ' ως προς σαρκικους, ως προς νηπια εν Χριστω.	1 And so, brothers, I was not able to talk to you as spiritual people; I had to talk to you as people stilliving by your natural inclinations, stil infants in Christ;
2 Γαλα σας εποτισα και ουχι στερεαν τροφην? διοτι δεν ηδυνασθε ετι να δεχθητε αυτην. Αλλ' ουδε τωρα δυνασθε ετι?	2 I fed you with milk and not solid food, for you were not yet able to take it -- and even now, you are stilnot able to,
3 επειδη ετι σαρκικοι εισθε. Διοτι ενω ειναι μεταξυ σας φθονος και ερις και διχονοιαι, δεν εισθε σαρκικοι και περιπατειτε κατα ανθρωπον;	3 for you are still living by your natural inclinations. As long as there are jealousy and rivalry among you,that surely means that you are stil living by your natural inclinations and by merely human principles.
4 Διοτι οταν λεγη τις, Εγω μεν ειμαι του Παυλου, αλλος δε, Εγω του Απολλω? δεν εισθε σαρκικοι;	4 While there is one that says, 'I belong to Paul' and another that says, 'I belong to Apol os' are you notbeing only too human?
5 Τις λοιπον ειναι ο Παυλος, και τις ο Απολλως, παρα υπηρεται, δια των οποιων επιστευσατε και, οπως ο Κυριος εδωκεν εις εκαστον;	5 For what is Apollos and what is Paul? The servants through whom you came to believe, and each hasonly what the Lord has given him.
6 Εγω εφυτευσα, ο Απολλως εποτισεν, αλλ' ο Θεος ηυξησεν?	6 I did the planting, Apol os did the watering, but God gave growth.
7 ωστε ουτε ο φυτευων ειναι τι ουτε ο ποτιζων, αλλ' ο Θεος ο αυξανων.	7 In this, neither the planter nor the waterer counts for anything; only God, who gives growth.
8 Ο φυτευων δε και ο ποτιζων ειναι εν? και εκαστος θελει λαβει τον εαυτου μισθον κατα τον κοπον αυτου.	8 It is al one who does the planting and who does the watering, and each will have the proper pay for thework that he has done.
9 Διοτι του Θεου ειμεθα συνεργοι? σεις εισθε του Θεου αγρος, του Θεου οικοδομη.	9 After all, we do share in God's work; you are God's farm, God's building.
10 Εγω κατα την χαριν του Θεου την δοθεισαν εις εμε ως σοφος αρχιτεκτων θεμελιον εθεσα, αλλος δε εποικοδομει? εκαστος ομως ας βλεπη πως εποικοδομει?	10 By the grace of God which was given to me, I laid the foundations like a trained master-builder, andsomeone else is building on them. Now each one must be careful how he does the building.
11 διοτι θεμελιον αλλο ουδεις δυναται να θεση παρα το τεθεν, το οποιον ειναι ο Ιησους Χριστος.	11 For nobody can lay down any other foundation than the one which is there already, namely JesusChrist.
12 Εαν δε τις εποικοδομη επι το θεμελιον τουτο χρυσον, αργυρον, λιθους τιμιους, ξυλα, χορτον, καλαμην?	12 On this foundation, different people may build in gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay or straw
13 εκαστου το εργον θελει φανερωθη? διοτι η ημερα θελει φανερωσει αυτο, επειδη δια πυρος ανακαλυπτεται? και το πυρ θελει δοκιμασει το εργον εκαστου οποιον ειναι.	13 but each person's handiwork wil be shown for what it is. The Day which dawns in fire will make it clearand the fire itself wil test the quality of each person's work.
14 Εαν το εργον τινος, το οποιον επωκοδομησε μενη, θελει λαβει μισθον?	14 The one whose work stands up to it wil be given his wages;
15 εαν το εργον τινος κατακαη, θελει ζημιωθη, αυτος ομως θελει σωθη, πλην ουτως ως δια πυρος.	15 the one whose work is burnt down wil suffer the loss of it, though he himself will be saved; he wil besaved as someone might expect to be saved from a fire.
16 Δεν εξευρετε οτι εισθε ναος Θεου και το Πνευμα του Θεου κατοικει εν υμιν;	16 Do you not realise that you are a temple of God with the Spirit of God living in you?
17 Εαν τις φθειρη τον ναον του Θεου, τουτον θελει φθειρει ο Θεος? διοτι ο ναος του Θεου ειναι αγιος, οστις εισθε σεις.	17 If anybody should destroy the temple of God, God will destroy that person, because God's temple isholy; and you are that temple.
18 Μηδεις ας μη εξαπατα εαυτον? εαν τις μεταξυ σας νομιζη οτι ειναι σοφος εν τω κοσμω τουτω, ας γεινη μωρος δια να γεινη σοφος.	18 There is no room for self-delusion. Any one of you who thinks he is wise by worldly standards mustlearn to be a fool in order to be real y wise.
19 Διοτι η σοφια του κοσμου τουτου ειναι μωρια παρα τω Θεω. Επειδη ειναι γεγραμμενον? Οστις συλλαμβανει τους σοφους εν τη πανουργια αυτων?	19 For the wisdom of the world is folly to God. As scripture says: He traps the crafty in the snare of theirown cunning
20 και παλιν? Ο Κυριος γινωσκει τους διαλογισμους των σοφων, οτι ειναι ματαιοι.	20 and again: The Lord knows the plans of the wise and how insipid they are.
21 Ωστε μηδεις ας μη καυχαται εις ανθρωπους? διοτι τα παντα ειναι υμων,	21 So there is to be no boasting about human beings: everything belongs to you,
22 ειτε Παυλος ειτε Απολλως ειτε Κηφας ειτε κοσμος ειτε ζωη ειτε θανατος ειτε παροντα ειτε μελλοντα, τα παντα ειναι υμων,	22 whether it is Paul, or Apol os, or Cephas, the world, life or death, the present or the future -- al belongto you;
23 σεις δε του Χριστου, ο δε Χριστος του Θεου.	23 but you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God.
