1 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

yāvantaḥ pavitrā lōkāḥ svēṣām asmākañca vasatisthānēṣvasmākaṁ prabhō ryīśōḥ khrīṣṭasya nāmnā prārthayantē taiḥ sahāhūtānāṁ khrīṣṭēna yīśunā pavitrīkr̥tānāṁ lōkānāṁ ya īśvarīyadharmmasamājaḥ karinthanagarē vidyatē

2 to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place — both theirs and ours:

taṁ pratīśvarasyēcchayāhūtō yīśukhrīṣṭasya prēritaḥ paulaḥ sōsthinināmā bhrātā ca patraṁ likhati|

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

asmākaṁ pitrēśvarēṇa prabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭēna ca prasādaḥ śāntiśca yuṣmabhyaṁ dīyatāṁ|

4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,

īśvarō yīśukhrīṣṭēna yuṣmān prati prasādaṁ prakāśitavān, tasmādahaṁ yuṣmannimittaṁ sarvvadā madīyēśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|

5 that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all discourse and all knowledge,

khrīṣṭasambandhīyaṁ sākṣyaṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhyē yēna prakārēṇa sapramāṇam abhavat

6 according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,

tēna yūyaṁ khrīṣṭāt sarvvavidhavaktr̥tājñānādīni sarvvadhanāni labdhavantaḥ|

7 so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

tatō'smatprabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya punarāgamanaṁ pratīkṣamāṇānāṁ yuṣmākaṁ kasyāpi varasyābhāvō na bhavati|

8 who also shall confirm you unto the end — unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

aparam asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya divasē yūyaṁ yannirddōṣā bhavēta tadarthaṁ saēva yāvadantaṁ yuṣmān susthirān kariṣyati|

9 faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

ya īśvaraḥ svaputrasyāsmatprabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasyāṁśinaḥ karttuṁ yuṣmān āhūtavān sa viśvasanīyaḥ|

10 And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

hē bhrātaraḥ, asmākaṁ prabhuyīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā yuṣmān vinayē'haṁ sarvvai ryuṣmābhirēkarūpāṇi vākyāni kathyantāṁ yuṣmanmadhyē bhinnasaṅghātā na bhavantu manōvicārayōraikyēna yuṣmākaṁ siddhatvaṁ bhavatu|

11 for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;

hē mama bhrātarō yuṣmanmadhyē vivādā jātā iti vārttāmahaṁ klōyyāḥ parijanai rjñāpitaḥ|

12 and I say this, that each one of you saith, 'I, indeed, am of Paul' — 'and I of Apollos,' — 'and I of Cephas,' — 'and I of Christ.'

mamābhiprētamidaṁ yuṣmākaṁ kaścit kaścid vadati paulasya śiṣyō'ham āpallōḥ śiṣyō'haṁ kaiphāḥ śiṣyō'haṁ khrīṣṭasya śiṣyō'hamiti ca|

13 Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;

khrīṣṭasya kiṁ vibhēdaḥ kr̥taḥ? paulaḥ kiṁ yuṣmatkr̥tē kruśē hataḥ? paulasya nāmnā vā yūyaṁ kiṁ majjitāḥ?

14 I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius —

kriṣpagāyau vinā yuṣmākaṁ madhyē'nyaḥ kō'pi mayā na majjita iti hētōraham īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|

15 that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;

ētēna mama nāmnā mānavā mayā majjitā iti vaktuṁ kēnāpi na śakyatē|

16 and I did baptize also Stephanas' household — further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.

aparaṁ stiphānasya parijanā mayā majjitāstadanyaḥ kaścid yanmayā majjitastadahaṁ na vēdmi|

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but — to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;

khrīṣṭēnāhaṁ majjanārthaṁ na prēritaḥ kintu susaṁvādasya pracārārthamēva; sō'pi vākpaṭutayā mayā na pracāritavyaḥ, yatastathā pracāritē khrīṣṭasya kruśē mr̥tyuḥ phalahīnō bhaviṣyati|

18 for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us — those being saved — it is the power of God,

yatō hētō ryē vinaśyanti tē tāṁ kruśasya vārttāṁ pralāpamiva manyantē kiñca paritrāṇaṁ labhamānēṣvasmāsu sā īśvarīyaśaktisvarūpā|

19 for it hath been written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'

tasmāditthaṁ likhitamāstē, jñānavatāntu yat jñānaṁ tanmayā nāśayiṣyatē| vilōpayiṣyatē tadvad buddhi rbaddhimatāṁ mayā||

20 where [is] the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

jñānī kutra? śāstrī vā kutra? ihalōkasya vicāratatparō vā kutra? ihalōkasya jñānaṁ kimīśvarēṇa mōhīkr̥taṁ nahi? (aiōn g165)

21 for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

īśvarasya jñānād ihalōkasya mānavāḥ svajñānēnēśvarasya tattvabōdhaṁ na prāptavantastasmād īśvaraḥ pracārarūpiṇā pralāpēna viśvāsinaḥ paritrātuṁ rōcitavān|

22 Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

yihūdīyalōkā lakṣaṇāni didr̥kṣanti bhinnadēśīyalōkāstu vidyāṁ mr̥gayantē,

23 also we — we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

vayañca kruśē hataṁ khrīṣṭaṁ pracārayāmaḥ| tasya pracārō yihūdīyai rvighna iva bhinnadēśīyaiśca pralāpa iva manyatē,

24 and to those called — both Jews and Greeks — Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,

kintu yihūdīyānāṁ bhinnadēśīyānāñca madhyē yē āhūtāstēṣu sa khrīṣṭa īśvarīyaśaktirivēśvarīyajñānamiva ca prakāśatē|

25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;

yata īśvarē yaḥ pralāpa ārōpyatē sa mānavātiriktaṁ jñānamēva yacca daurbbalyam īśvara ārōpyatē tat mānavātiriktaṁ balamēva|

26 for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

hē bhrātaraḥ, āhūtayuṣmadgaṇō yaṣmābhirālōkyatāṁ tanmadhyē sāṁsārikajñānēna jñānavantaḥ parākramiṇō vā kulīnā vā bahavō na vidyantē|

27 but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

yata īśvarō jñānavatastrapayituṁ mūrkhalōkān rōcitavān balāni ca trapayitum īśvarō durbbalān rōcitavān|

28 and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless —

tathā varttamānalōkān saṁsthitibhraṣṭān karttum īśvarō jagatō'pakr̥ṣṭān hēyān avarttamānāṁścābhirōcitavān|

29 that no flesh may glory before Him;

tata īśvarasya sākṣāt kēnāpyātmaślāghā na karttavyā|

30 and of Him ye — ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

yūyañca tasmāt khrīṣṭē yīśau saṁsthitiṁ prāptavantaḥ sa īśvarād yuṣmākaṁ jñānaṁ puṇyaṁ pavitratvaṁ muktiśca jātā|

31 that, according as it hath been written, 'He who is glorying — in the Lord let him glory.'

ataēva yadvad likhitamāstē tadvat, yaḥ kaścit ślāghamānaḥ syāt ślāghatāṁ prabhunā sa hi|
