To the Church of God in Corinth, to those who have been consecrated by union with Christ Jesus and called to become his People, and also to all, wherever they may be, who invoke the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ — their Master and ours,

from Paul, who has been called to be an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and from Sosthenes, our Brother.

May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

I always thank God about you for the blessing bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus.
5 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏤᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏄᏓᎴᏒᎢ — ᏂᎦᎥ ᏗᏕᏲᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎠᏕᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ;
For through union with him you were enriched in every way — in your power to preach, and in your knowledge of the Truth;
6 ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᏥᏃᎮᎸ ᎦᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᏁᏨᏁᎸᎢ;
and so became yourselves a confirmation of my testimony to the Christ.
7 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᏍᎦ ᏂᏦᎭᏍᎬᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏑᏓᎴᎩ ᎤᏅ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎢᏥᎦᏖᏃᎲ ᎤᎷᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ;
And thus there is no gift in which you are deficient, while waiting for the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And God himself will strengthen you to the end, so that at the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ you may be found blameless.
9 ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏄᏓᎵᏓᏍᏛᎾ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᏯᏅᏛ ᏥᎩ ᎢᏣᎵᎪᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏪᏥ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ.
God will not fail you, and it is he who called you into communion with his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
10 ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ ᎢᏨᏔᏲᏎᎭ ᏚᏙᎥ ᎬᏗᎭ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᎦᏤᎵᎦ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏠᏱᎭ ᎢᏥᏁᎢᏍᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᏣᎦᎴᏅᏗᏍᎩ ᏂᏤᎲᎾ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ; ᎤᎧᎵᏨᎯᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᏗᏣᏚᏙᏙᏗᏱ ᎤᏠᏱᏉ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏖᎵᏙᎲᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏠᏱᏉ ᏕᏧᎪᏗᏍᎬᎢ.
But I appeal to you, Brothers, by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you profess, and not to allow divisions to exist among you, but to be united — of one mind and of one opinion.
11 ᎥᎩᏃᏁᎸᎯᏰᏃ ᎢᎩ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ ᏂᎯ ᎡᏥᏃᎮᏍᎬᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏠᎢ ᏚᏓᏘᎾᎥ ᎨᏥᏃᎮᏍᎬᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᏥᏲᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏤᎲᎢ.
For I have been informed, my Brothers, by the members of Chloe’s household, that party feeling exists among you.
12 ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏥᏪᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᏏᏴᏫᎭ ᎨᏒ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏥᏪᏍᎬᎢ, ᎠᏴ ᏉᎳ ᏥᏯᎵᎪᏁᎯ; ᎠᏴᏃ ᎠᏉᎳ; ᎠᏴᏃ ᏏᏆᏏ; ᎠᏴᏃ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ.
I mean this: that every one of you says either ‘I follow Paul,’ or ‘I Apollos,’ or ‘I Kephas,’ or ‘I Christ.’
13 ᎢᎸᏍᎩᏍᎪ ᎢᏯᏥᏛᎯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ? ᏉᎳᏍᎪ ᏓᏓᎿᎭᏩᏍᏛ ᎠᎦᏛᏁ ᎢᏥᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ? ᎠᎴᏍᎪ ᏉᎳ ᏚᏙᎥ ᏕᏣᏬᏍᏔᏁᎢ?
You have rent the Christ in pieces! Was it Paul who was crucified for you? or were you baptized into the Faith of Paul?
14 ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏥᏯᎵᎡᎵᏤᎭ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏤᎲ ᎩᎶ ᏂᏥᏯᏬᎥᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏟᏍᏆ ᎠᎴ ᎦᏯ ᎤᏅᏒ;
I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15 ᎩᎶᏰᏃ ᎤᏩᏒᏉ ᏚᏙᎥ ᏓᏓᏬᏍᏗᎭ, ᏱᎬᏉᏎᎭ.
so that no one can say that you were baptized into my Faith.
16 ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏍᏗᏇᎾ ᏚᏓᏘᎾᎥ ᏕᎦᏥᏯᏬᎥᎩ; ᏅᏩᏓᎴᏃ ᎥᏝ ᏱᏆᏅᏔ ᏥᏯᏬᎥᎢ.
I baptized also the household of Stephanas. I do not know that I baptized any one else.
17 ᎦᎶᏁᏛᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᏱᎩᏅᏎ ᏗᏆᏓᏬᏍᏗᏱ, ᎠᏆᎵᏥᏙᏗᏱᏍᎩᏂ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ; ᎥᏝ ᎠᎵᏏᎾᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎠᏋᏙᏗᏱ, ᎦᎶᏁᏛᏰᏃ ᎤᏤᎵ ᏧᏓᎿᎭᏩᏛ ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᏱᏅᎦᎵᏍᏓ.
My mission from Christ was not to baptize, but to tell the Good News; not, however, in the language of philosophy, lest the cross of the Christ should be robbed of its meaning.
18 ᏓᏓᎿᎭᏩᏍᏛᏰᏃ ᎧᏃᎮᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎵᏍᎦᏁᏛ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏧᏂᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗ ᏥᎩ; ᎠᏴᏍᎩᏂ ᎡᎩᏍᏕᎸᏗ ᏥᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᎵᏂᎬᎬ ᎢᎩᏰᎸᎯ.
The Message of the Cross is indeed mere folly to those who are in the path to Ruin, but to us who are in the path of Salvation it is the very power of God.
19 ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᏂᎬᏅ ᎢᎦᏪᎳ, ᏓᏥᏛᏔᏂ ᎠᏂᏏᎾᏒ ᎠᏂᏏᎾᏌᏂ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏎᏉ ᏅᏓᎦᏥᏴᏁᎵ ᎠᏁᏯᏔᎯ ᎠᏁᏯᏔᎲᎢ.
For Scripture says — ‘I will bring the philosophy of the philosophers to nought, and the shrewdness of the shrewd I will make of no account.’
Where is the Philosopher? where the Teacher of the Law? where the Disputant of to-day? Has not God shown the world’s philosophy to be folly? (aiōn g165)
21 ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎠᏏᎾᏌᏂᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏥᏄᏩᏂᏌᏁ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎠᏂᏏᎾᏌᏅ ᎠᏅᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏂᎬᏩᎦᏔᎲᎾ ᏥᎨᏎᎢ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎣᏏ ᎤᏰᎸᏁ ᎠᎵᏍᎦᏁᏛ ᎠᎵᏥᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏮᏙᏗᏱ ᏧᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᎠᏃᎯᏳᎲᏍᎩ.
For since the world, in God’s wisdom, did not by its philosophy learn to know God, God saw fit, by the ‘folly’ of our proclamation, to save those who believe in Christ!
22 ᎠᏂᏧᏏᏰᏃ ᎤᏰᎸᏛ ᎠᏂᏔᏲᎯᎭ, ᎠᏂᎪᎢᏃ ᎠᏏᎾᏌᏂᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏂᏲᎭ;
While Jews ask for miraculous signs, and Greeks study philosophy,
23 ᎠᏴᏍᎩᏂ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏓᏓᎿᎭᏩᏍᏛ ᎠᎦᏛᏅᎯ ᎣᏣᎵᏥᏙᎲᏍᎦ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᏧᏃᏕᏍᏗᏍᎩ, ᎠᏂᎪᎢᏃ ᎠᎵᏍᎦᏁᏛ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᎯ;
we are proclaiming Christ crucified! — to the Jews an obstacle, to the Gentiles mere folly,
24 Ꮎ-ᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏥᏯᏅᏛ ᏥᎩ, ᎢᏧᎳᏉ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᎪᎢ, ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏏᎾᏌᏂᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᎯ.
but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the Power of God and the Wisdom of God!
25 ᎠᎵᏍᎦᏁᏛᏰᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎤᏟ ᎾᏏᎾᎯ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᏴᏫ; ᎠᎴ ᎠᏩᎾᎦᎳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎤᏟ ᏄᎵᏂᎬᎦ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᏴᏫ.
For God’s ‘folly’ is wiser than men, and God’s ‘weakness’ is stronger than men.
26 ᎢᏥᎪᏩᏗᎭᏰᏃ, ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ, ᏄᏍᏛ ᎡᏥᏯᏅᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎥᏝ ᏳᏂᏣᏔ ᎠᏂᏏᎾᏌᏂ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᏳᏂᏣᏔ ᏧᎾᎵᏂᎩᏛ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᏳᏂᏣᏔ ᎨᏥᎸᏉᏗ;
Look at the facts of your Call, Brothers. There are not many among you who are wise, as men reckon wisdom, not many who are influential, not many who are high-born;
27 ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏚᏑᏰᏒ ᎤᎾᎵᏍᎦᏂᏍᏛ ᎨᏥᏰᎸᎯ ᎠᏁ ᎡᎶᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏕᎰᎯᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎾᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏚᏑᏰᏒ ᎠᏂᏩᎾᎦᎳ ᎨᏥᏰᎸᎯ ᎠᏂ ᎡᎶᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏕᎰᎯᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏧᎾᎵᏂᎩᏛ;
but God chose what the world counts foolish to put its wise men to shame, and God chose what the world counts weak to put its strong things to shame,
28 ᎠᎴ ᎡᏍᎦ ᎤᏃᎭᏛ ᎠᏂ ᎡᎶᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᏅᎵᏌᎵ ᎨᏥᏰᎸᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏚᏑᏰᏒ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏁᎲᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᎢᏳᎾᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏣᏁᎭ;
and God chose what the world counts poor and insignificant — things that to it are unreal — to bring its ‘realities’ to nothing,
29 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏢᏈᏍᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎦᏔᎲᎢ.
so that in his presence no human being should boast.
30 ᏂᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᎾᏄᎪᏫᏒᎯ ᎢᎩ, ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎦᏅᎾ ᎢᎬᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎫᏴᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ, ᎠᏴ ᎢᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ;
But you, by your union with Christ Jesus, belong to God; and Christ, by God’s will, became not only our Wisdom, but also our Righteousness, Holiness, and Deliverance,
31 ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎬᏅ ᏥᎪᏪᎳ, ᎩᎶ ᎠᏢᏈᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏱᎰᏩ ᎠᏢᏆᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ.
so that — in the words of Scripture — ‘Let him who boasts make his boast of the Lord!’
