哥林多前書

第1章

1 遵上帝旨、奉召爲耶穌基督使徒保羅及兄弟所提尼、

2 書達哥林多上帝會、宗基督耶穌成聖、蒙召爲聖徒、與隨在籲吾主耶穌基督名者、不第我主、亦彼主也、

3 願我父上帝、及主耶穌基督、賜爾恩寵平康、

4 上帝因基督耶穌、賜爾恩寵、故我爲爾衆恆謝上帝、

5 蓋爾蒙其厚賚、大獲口才智慧、

6 而基督之道、得徵明於爾中、

7 使爾曹恩賜罔缺、望吾主耶穌基督顯日、

8 其將堅爾、至終無責、迨我主耶穌基督至、

9 上帝召爾、共宗其子吾主耶穌基督者、其言有斷然焉、

10 緣吾主耶穌基督名勸兄弟、論宜同、無紛爭、一心一意、翕然契合、

11 革來氏家人告我、言爾中有爭、

12 我亦云、爾中有言宗保羅、宗亞波羅、宗磯法、宗基督者、

13 基督豈有別乎、保羅豈爲爾釘十字架、抑爾藉保羅名領洗乎、

14 我謝上帝、於基士部、迦猶外、未嘗施洗爾中一人、

15 免人言我藉己名施洗焉、

16 吾亦施洗士提反家人、其餘施洗、或有或無、則忘之矣、

17 蓋基督遣我、非以施洗、乃傳福音、吾不憑智言者、恐基督釘十字架之道、歸於無有、

18 夫十字架之道、沉淪者視爲不智、我儕得救者、視爲上帝大用、

19 經云、我將敗智者之智、廢賢者之賢、

20 智者安在、士子安在、世之辯者又安在、豈非上帝以此世之智爲不智乎、

21 世人恃其智、不識上帝、故上帝喜以若愚之道、救諸信者、斯上帝之智也、

22 猶太人索異蹟、希利尼人求智慧、

23 余傳基督釘十字架之道、猶太人以爲可厭、希利尼人以爲不智、

24 惟奉召者、則無論猶太、希利尼、皆以基督爲上帝大用、上帝智慧、

25 蓋上帝卽不智、亦智於人、上帝卽不能、亦能於人、

26 兄弟乎、爾之奉召可見矣、貌爲智爲能爲貴者、不多蒙召、

27 乃上帝選世之不智、以愧智者、選世之不能、以愧能者、

28 且選世之不貴者、見棄者、人視爲無有者、以廢世之有者、

29 故上帝前、無人得自誇、

30 上帝感爾、俾宗基督耶穌、而智由以成、義由以稱、聖由以作、罪由以贖、其實皆由上帝也、

31 經云、誇者當以主而誇也、〇

Chapter 1

1 PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sos'the-nes,

2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, the invited and holy ones who are sanctified by Jesus Christ, and to all of them in every place who invoke the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:

3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and from our LORD Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God that has been given to you by Jesus Christ;

5 For in everything you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6 Because the testimony of Christ has been confirmed in you:

7 And you do not lack any of his gifts but wait for the manifestation of our LORD Jesus Christ:

8 Who will also strengthen you to the end so that you may be blameless in the day of our LORD Jesus Christ.

9 God, by whom you have been called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our LORD, is trustworthy.

10 Now I beseech you, my brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, to be of one accord, and let there be no divisions among you but be perfectly united in one mind and in one thought.

11 For I have been en_lbp_informed about you, my brethren, by the household of Chlo'e that there are disputes among you.

12 Now this I say, because there are some among you who say, I am a follower of Paul; and some who say, I am a follower of Apol'los; and some who say, I am a follower of Ce'phas; and some who say, I am a follower of Christ.

13 Why? Is Christ divided? or was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 I confess to my God that I have baptized none of you, except Cris'pus and Ga'ius;

15 So no man can say that I have baptized in my own name.

16 And I baptized also the household of Steph'a-nas. I do not know whether I have baptized any one else.

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel: and not to rely on the wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be in vain.

18 For the preaching of the cross * to those who have gone astray is foolishness; but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will do away with the understanding of the prudent.

20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the learned of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

21 Because all the wisdom which God had given was not sufficient for the world to know God, it pleased God to save those who believe by the simple gospel.

22 For the Jews demand signs, and the Syrians seek after wisdom:

23 But we preach Christ crucified, which is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Syrians. *

24 But for those who are called, both Jews and Syrians, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 For consider also your own calling, my brethren, not many among you are wise in terms of worldly things, and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you belong to the nobility.

27 But God has chosen the foolish ones of the world to put the wise to shame; and God has chosen the weak ones of the world to embarrass the mighty;

28 And he has chosen those of humble families in the world, and the lowly, and those who are insignificant, in order to belittle those who consider themselves important,

29 So that no man should boast in his presence.

30 But you also belong to God through Jesus Christ who, from God, is wisdom and righteousness and sanctification, and salvation to all of us.

31 As it is written, He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.
