| 1:1 | Poul, clepid apostle of Jhesu Crist, bi the wille of God, and Sostenes, brothir, to the chirche of God that is at Corynthe, |
| 1:2 | to hem that ben halewid in Crist Jhesu, and clepid seyntis, with alle that inwardli clepen the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, in ech place of hem and of oure, |
| 1:3 | grace to you and pees of God, oure fadir, and of the Lord Jhesu Crist. |
| 1:4 | Y do thankyngis to my God eueremore for you, in the grace of God that is youun to you in Crist Jhesu. |
| 1:5 | For in alle thingis ye ben maad riche in hym, in ech word, and in ech kunnyng, |
| 1:6 | as the witnessyng of Crist is confermyd in you; |
| 1:7 | so that no thing faile to you in ony grace, that abiden the schewyng of oure Lord Jhesu Crist; |
| 1:8 | which also schal conferme you in to the ende with outen cryme, in the dai of the comyng of oure Lord Jhesu Crist. |
| 1:9 | `A trewe God, bi whom ye ben clepid in to the felouschipe of his sone Jhesu Crist oure Lord. |
| 1:10 | But, britheren, Y biseche you, bi the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, that ye alle seie the same thing, and that dissenciouns be not among you; but be ye perfit in the same wit, and in the same kunnyng. |
| 1:11 | For, my britheren, it is teld to me of hem that ben at Cloes, that stryues ben among you. |
| 1:12 | And Y seie that, that ech of you seith, For Y am of Poul, and Y am of Apollo, and Y am of Cefas, but Y am of Crist. |
| 1:13 | Whether Crist is departid? whether Poul was crucified for you, ether ye ben baptisid in the name of Poul? |
| 1:14 | Y do thankyngis to my God, that Y baptiside noon of you, but Crispus and Gayus; |
| 1:15 | lest ony man seie, that ye ben baptisid in my name. |
| 1:16 | And Y baptiside also the hous of Stephan, but Y woot not, that Y baptiside ony other. |
| 1:17 | For Crist sente me not to baptise, but to preche the gospel; not in wisdom of word, that the cros of Crist be not voidid awei. |
| 1:18 | For the word of the cros is foli to hem that perischen; but to hem that ben maad saaf, that is to seie, to vs, it is the vertu of God. |
| 1:19 | For it is writun, Y schal distruye the wisdom of wise men, and Y schal reproue the prudence of prudent men. |
| 1:20 | Where is the wise man? where is the wise lawiere? where is the purchasour of this world? Whether God hath not maad the wisdom of this world fonned? |
| 1:21 | For the world in wisdom of God knewe not God bi wisdom, it pleside to God, bi foli of prechyng, `to maken hem saaf that bileueden. |
| 1:22 | For Jewis seken signes, and Grekis seken wisdom; |
| 1:23 | but we prechen Crist crucified, to Jewis sclaundre, and to hethene men foli; |
| 1:24 | but to tho Jewis and Grekis that ben clepid, we prechen Crist the vertu of God and the wisdom of God. |
| 1:25 | For that that is foli thing of God, is wiser than men; and that that is the feble thing of God, is strengere than men. |
| 1:26 | But, britheren, se ye youre clepyng; for not many wise men aftir the fleisch, not many myyti, not many noble. |
| 1:27 | But God chees tho thingis that ben fonned of the world, to confounde wise men; |
| 1:28 | and God chees the feble thingis of the world, to confounde the stronge thingis; and God chees the vnnoble thingis `and dispisable thingis of the world, and tho thingis that ben not, to distruye tho thingis that ben; |
| 1:29 | that ech man haue not glorie in his siyt. |
| 1:30 | But of hym ye ben in Crist Jhesu, which is maad of God to vs wisdom, and riytwisnesse, and holynesse, and ayenbiyng; that, |
| 1:31 | as it is wrytun, He that glorieth, haue glorie in the Lord. |
| 1:1 | Paul called to be an Apostle of Iesus Christ, through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, |
| 1:2 | Vnto the Church of God, which is at Corinthus, to them that are sanctified in Christ Iesus, Saintes by calling, with all that call on the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ in euery place, both their Lord, and ours: |
| 1:3 | Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 1:4 | I thanke my God alwayes on your behalfe for the grace of God, which is giuen you in Iesus Christ, |
| 1:5 | That in all things ye are made rich in him, in all kinde of speach, and in all knowledge: |
| 1:6 | As the testimonie of Iesus Christ hath bene confirmed in you: |
| 1:7 | So that ye are not destitute of any gift: wayting for the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 1:8 | Who shall also confirme you vnto the ende, that ye may be blamelesse, in the day of our Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 1:9 | God is faithfull, by whom ye are called vnto the fellowship of his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord. |
| 1:10 | Nowe I beseeche you, brethren, by the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that ye all speake one thing, and that there be no dissensions among you: but be ye knit together in one mind, and in one iudgement. |
| 1:11 | For it hath bene declared vnto me, my brethren, of you by them that are of the house of Cloe, that there are contentions among you. |
| 1:12 | Nowe this I say, that euery one of you saith, I am Pauls, and I am Apollos, and I am Cephas, and I am Christs. |
| 1:13 | Is Christ deuided? was Paul crucified for you? either were ye baptized into the name of Paul? |
| 1:14 | I thanke God, that I baptized none of you, but Crispus, and Gaius, |
| 1:15 | Lest any should say, that I had baptized into mine owne name. |
| 1:16 | I baptized also the houshold of Stephanas: furthermore knowe I not, whether I baptized any other. |
| 1:17 | For CHRIST sent me not to baptize, but to preache the Gospel, not with wisdome of wordes, lest the crosse of Christ should be made of none effect. |
| 1:18 | For that preaching of the crosse is to them that perish, foolishnesse: but vnto vs, which are saued, it is the power of God. |
| 1:19 | For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and will cast away the vnderstanding of the prudent. |
| 1:20 | Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this worlde? hath not God made the wisedome of this worlde foolishnesse? |
| 1:21 | For seeing the worlde by wisedome knewe not God in the wisedome of GOD, it pleased God by the foolishnesse of preaching to saue them that beleeue: |
| 1:22 | Seeing also that the Iewes require a signe, and the Grecians seeke after wisdome. |
| 1:23 | But wee preach Christ crucified: vnto the Iewes, euen a stumbling blocke, and vnto the Grecians, foolishnesse: |
| 1:24 | But vnto them which are called, both of the Iewes and Grecians, we preach Christ, the power of God, and the wisedome of God. |
| 1:25 | For the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men, and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men. |
| 1:26 | For brethren, you see your calling, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called. |
| 1:27 | But God hath chosen the foolish thinges of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weake thinges of the worlde, to confound the mightie things, |
| 1:28 | And vile things of the worlde and thinges which are despised, hath God chosen, and thinges which are not, to bring to nought thinges that are, |
| 1:29 | That no flesh shoulde reioyce in his presence. |
| 1:30 | But ye are of him in Christ Iesus, who of God is made vnto vs wisedome and righteousnesse, and sanctification, and redemption, |
| 1:31 | That, according as it is written, Hee that reioyceth, let him reioyce in the Lord. |
| 1:1 | Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, |
| 1:2 | To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: |
| 1:3 | Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:4 | I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Jesus Christ, |
| 1:5 | that you are enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and in all knowledge, |
| 1:6 | even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, |
| 1:7 | so that you come short in no gift, waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 1:8 | who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:9 | God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. |
| 1:10 | Now I plead with you, brethren, by 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 perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. |
| 1:11 | Because, it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you. |
| 1:12 | Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ." |
| 1:13 | Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? |
| 1:14 | I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, |
| 1:15 | lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. |
| 1:16 | And, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other. |
| 1:17 | Because, Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. |
| 1:18 | Because, the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who perish, but to us who are saved it is the power of God. |
| 1:19 | Because it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." |
| 1:20 | Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? |
| 1:21 | Because since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. |
| 1:22 | Because, Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; |
| 1:23 | but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, |
| 1:24 | but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. |
| 1:25 | Because, the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. |
| 1:26 | Because, you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. |
| 1:27 | But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; |
| 1:28 | and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, yes and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, |
| 1:29 | that no flesh should glory in His presence. |
| 1:30 | But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who, from God, became for us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, |
| 1:31 | that, according to as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord." |
