| 1 | 1 | Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother, | Paulus vocatus apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei et Sosthenes frater |
| 1 | 2 | To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs and ours. | ecclesiae Dei quae est Corinthi sanctificatis in Christo Iesu vocatis sanctis cum omnibus qui invocant nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi in omni loco ipsorum et nostro |
| 1 | 3 | Grace to you and peace, from God our father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. | gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo |
| 1 | 4 | I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus: | gratias ago Deo meo semper pro vobis in gratia Dei quae data est vobis in Christo Iesu |
| 1 | 5 | That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance and in all knowledge; | quia in omnibus divites facti estis in illo in omni verbo et in omni scientia |
| 1 | 6 | As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, | sicut testimonium Christi confirmatum est in vobis |
| 1 | 7 | So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ. | ita ut nihil vobis desit in ulla gratia expectantibus revelationem Domini nostri Iesu Christi |
| 1 | 8 | Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the days of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. | qui et confirmabit vos usque ad finem sine crimine in die adventus Domini nostri Iesu Christi |
| 1 | 9 | God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. | fidelis Deus per quem vocati estis in societatem Filii eius Iesu Christi Domini nostri |
| 1 | 10 | Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no schisms among you: but that you be perfect in the same mind and in the same judgment. | obsecro autem vos fratres per nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi ut id ipsum dicatis omnes et non sint in vobis scismata sitis autem perfecti in eodem sensu et in eadem sententia |
| 1 | 11 | For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. | significatum est enim mihi de vobis fratres mei ab his qui sunt Chloes quia contentiones inter vos sunt |
| 1 | 12 | Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. | hoc autem dico quod unusquisque vestrum dicit ego quidem sum Pauli ego autem Apollo ego vero Cephae ego autem Christi |
| 1 | 13 | Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? | divisus est Christus numquid Paulus crucifixus est pro vobis aut in nomine Pauli baptizati estis |
| 1 | 14 | I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius: | gratias ago Deo quod neminem vestrum baptizavi nisi Crispum et Gaium |
| 1 | 15 | Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name. | ne quis dicat quod in nomine meo baptizati sitis |
| 1 | 16 | And I baptized also the household of Stephanus. Besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. | baptizavi autem et Stephanae domum ceterum nescio si quem alium baptizaverim |
| 1 | 17 | For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. | non enim misit me Christus baptizare sed evangelizare non in sapientia verbi ut non evacuetur crux Christi |
| 1 | 18 | For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God. | verbum enim crucis pereuntibus quidem stultitia est his autem qui salvi fiunt id est nobis virtus Dei est |
| 1 | 19 | For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise: and the prudence of the prudent I will reject. | scriptum est enim perdam sapientiam sapientium et prudentiam prudentium reprobabo |
| 1 | 20 | Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? | ubi sapiens ubi scriba ubi conquisitor huius saeculi nonne stultam fecit Deus sapientiam huius mundi |
| 1 | 21 | For, seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe. | nam quia in Dei sapientia non cognovit mundus per sapientiam Deum placuit Deo per stultitiam praedicationis salvos facere credentes |
| 1 | 22 | For both the Jews require signs: and the Greeks seek after wisdom. | quoniam et Iudaei signa petunt et Graeci sapientiam quaerunt |
| 1 | 23 | But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness: | nos autem praedicamus Christum crucifixum Iudaeis quidem scandalum gentibus autem stultitiam |
| 1 | 24 | But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. | ipsis autem vocatis Iudaeis atque Graecis Christum Dei virtutem et Dei sapientiam |
| 1 | 25 | For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: and the weakness of God is stronger than men. | quia quod stultum est Dei sapientius est hominibus et quod infirmum est Dei fortius est hominibus |
| 1 | 26 | For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. | videte enim vocationem vestram fratres quia non multi sapientes secundum carnem non multi potentes non multi nobiles |
| 1 | 27 | But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise: and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. | sed quae stulta sunt mundi elegit Deus ut confundat sapientes et infirma mundi elegit Deus ut confundat fortia |
| 1 | 28 | And the base things of the world and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen: and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are: | et ignobilia mundi et contemptibilia elegit Deus et quae non sunt ut ea quae sunt destrueret |
| 1 | 29 | That no flesh should glory in his sight. | ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu eius |
| 1 | 30 | But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption: | ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Iesu qui factus est sapientia nobis a Deo et iustitia et sanctificatio et redemptio |
| 1 | 31 | That, as it is written: He that glorieth may glory in the Lord. | ut quemadmodum scriptum est qui gloriatur in Domino glorietur |
