Paulos, called and an apostle of Y'shua the Mashiyach by the will of Elohim, and Sosthenes a brother;

to the assembly of Elohim that is at Corinth, to the people called and holy, who are made holy in Y'shua the Mashiyach; and to all those who call on the name of our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach in every place, theirs and ours Master:

Grace be with you, and peace, from Elohim our Father and from our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach.

I thank my Elohim at all times on your behalf for the grace of Elohim that was given to you in Y'shua the Mashiyach;

that in everything you are enriched in him, in every word and in all knowledge;

as the testimony of Mashiyach was confirmed among you:

so that you are not lacking in any one of his gifts, but you are waiting for the revelation of our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach

who will confirm you until the end, so that you may be without blame in the day of our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach

Elohim is faithful, by whose hand you were called into the fellowship of his Son Y'shua the Mashiyach our Master

But I ask of you, my brothers, in the name of our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach, that there may be one word for all of you, and that there may not be divisions among you, but that you may be perfected in one mind and in one thought

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, from the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you

But this I say: that there are some of you who say, I am of Paulos, and some who say, I am of Apolo, and some who say, I am of Keefa, and some who say, I am of Mashiyach

Has Mashiyach been divided? Or was Paulos crucified for you? Or were you immersed in the name of Paulos?

I thank my Elohim that I immersed none of you, except Krispos and Gaius;

so that no one may say that I immersed in my name.

I immersed also the household of Stephanas; but beyond that I do not know whether I immersed any other.

For Mashiyach did not send me to immerse, but to proclaim; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Mashiyach be made empty.

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing; but to us who are living it is the power of Elohim.

For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will dissipate the intelligence of the sagacious.

Where is the wise? Or where is the scribe? Or where is the disputant of this world? Has not Elohim made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For since in the wisdom of Elohim the world through wisdom did not know Elohim, Elohim was pleased through the foolishness of the proclamation to give life to those who believe.

Because the Yehudaye ask for signs, and the Aramaye seek wisdom.

But we proclaim Mashiyach crucified, which is a stumbling-block to the Yehudaye and foolishness to the Aramaye;

but to those who are called, both Yehudaye and Aramaye, Mashiyach is the power of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim.

Because the foolishness of Elohim is wiser than the sons of men, and the feebleness of Elohim is stronger than the sons of men.

For look also at your calling, my brothers, that not many among you are wise in the flesh, and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you are of high birth.

But Elohim has chosen the foolish ones of the world to shame the wise, and he has chosen the feeble ones of the world to shame the mighty;

and he has chosen those of low birth in the world, and the despised, and those who are nothing, to bring to nothing those who are,

so that no flesh might glory before him.

And you also are of him in Y'shua the Mashiyach, who has become to us wisdom from Elohim, and righteousness and holiness and redemption.

as it is written: the one who glories, let him glory in Master YHWH.
