1PAULOS the called, and the apostle of Jeshu Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and Sosthenis a brother, 2to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, the called, and the saints who in Jeshu Meshiha are sanctified; and to all them who invoke the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in every place, theirs and ours: 3Grace be with you and peace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. 4I give thanks to Aloha at all times on your behalf for the grace of Aloha which is given to you through Jeshu Meshiha, 5because in every thing you are enriched in him in all utterance and in all knowledge, 6according to the testimony of the Meshiha, which is confirmed in you. 7That you may not be deficient in one of his gifts, but be expecting the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, 8who will confirm you to the end, that you may be without fault in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. 9Faithful is Aloha, by whom you have been called to the fellowship of his Son Jeshu Meshiha our Lord. 10But I beseech of you, my brethren, in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that you have all one doctrine, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfect in one mind and one sentiment. 11For they of the house of Kloë have sent to me concerning you, my brethren, that there are contentions among you. 12For this I say, that there are some of you who say, I am of Paulos; and some who say, I am of Apollo; and some who say, I am of Kipha; and some who say, I am of the Meshiha! 13Is the Meshiha divided? Or was Paulos crucified for you? Or in the name of Paulos were you baptized? 14I thank Aloha that no man of you I have baptized, but only Krispos and Gaios; 15lest any man should say, that in my name I have baptized. 16But I baptized also the house of Estepana; beyond (these) I know not that any other man I have baptized. 17For the Meshiha sent me not to baptize, but to preach; not with the wisdom of words, lest the cross of the Meshiha should be nullified. 18FOR the doctrine of the cross to those who perish is foolishness, but to us who are saved it is the power of Aloha. 19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And I will take away the understanding of the prudent. 20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Or where is the disputer of this world? Hath not . Aloha made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For inasmuch as in the wisdom of Aloha, the world by wisdom hath not known Aloha, it hath pleased Aloha, by the foolishness of preaching, to save them who believe. 22For the Jihudoyee demand signs, and the Aramoyee require wisdom; 23but we preach the Meshiha crucified, a scandal to the Jihudoyee, and to the Aramoyee foolishness; 24but to them who are called, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, the Meshiha is the power of Aloha, and the wisdom of Aloha. 25For the foolishness of Aloha is wiser than men, and the weakness of Aloha is stronger than men. 26For you see also your calling, my brethren, that not many among you are wise after the flesh, and not many among you are powerful, and not many among you are of noble birth; 27but Aloha hath chosen the simple of the world, to shame the wise, and he hath chosen the weak of the world, to shame the mighty, 28and he hath chosen those of low birth in the world, and the outcasts, and those who are nothing, to bring to nothing those who are; 29that no flesh may boast before him. 30But you are of him in Jeshu Meshiha, who hath been made unto us wisdom, of Aloha, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; 31according as it is written, He who boasteth, in the Lord let him boast.
