1Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,
1ܦܘܠܘܤ ܩܪܝܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܤܘܤܬܢܤ ܐܚܐ ܀
2to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:
2ܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܩܘܪܢܬܘܤ ܩܪܝܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܩܕܫܝܢ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܝܠܢ ܀
3Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
3ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
4I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;
4ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܝ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
5that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,
5ܕܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܥܬܪܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܒܟܠ ܡܠܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܀
6(according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you,)
6ܐܝܟ ܕܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܫܬܪܪܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܀
7so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
7ܕܠܐ ܐܬܒܨܪܬܘܢ ܒܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܡܘܗܒܬܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܤܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
8who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8ܕܗܘ ܢܫܪܪܟܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܚܪܝܬܐ ܕܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܒܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
9God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
9ܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܐܝܕܗ ܐܬܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܠܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܢ ܀
10Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion.
10ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܠܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܓܡܝܪܝܢ ܒܚܕܐ ܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܘܒܚܕ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܀
11For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you.
11ܫܠܚܘ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܟܠܐܐ ܕܚܪܝܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܀
12But I speak of this, that each of you says, *I* am of Paul, and *I* of Apollos, and *I* of Cephas, and *I* of Christ.
12ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܦܠܘ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢܐ ܀
13Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?
13ܕܠܡܐ ܐܬܦܠܓ ܠܗ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܘ ܠܡܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܙܕܩܦ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܐܘ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܦܘܠܘܤ ܥܡܕܬܘܢ ܀
14I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,
14ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܝ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܥܡܕܬ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܪܝܤܦܘܤ ܘܠܓܐܝܘܤ ܀
15that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.
15ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܐܡܪ ܕܒܫܡܝ ܐܥܡܕܬ ܀
16Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.
16ܐܥܡܕܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܤܛܦܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܐܥܡܕܬ ܀
17For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.
17ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܕܪܢܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܡܥܡܕܘ ܐܠܐ ܠܡܤܒܪܘ ܠܐ ܒܚܟܡܬ ܡܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܬܪܩ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
18For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.
18ܡܠܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܙܩܝܦܐ ܠܐܒܝܕܐ ܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܠܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܝܝܢܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.
19ܟܬܝܒ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܘܒܕ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܚܟܝܡܐ ܘܐܓܠܘܙ ܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܕܤܟܘܠܬܢܐ ܀
20Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
20ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܐܘ ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘ ܤܦܪܐ ܐܘ ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܘܫܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܫܛܝܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܟܡܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܀
21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.
21ܡܛܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܚܟܡܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܥܠܡܐ ܒܚܟܡܬܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܕܟܪܘܙܘܬܐ ܢܚܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܀
22Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;
22ܡܛܠ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܫܐܠܝܢ ܘܐܪܡܝܐ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܀
23but *we* preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;
23ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܟܪܙܝܢܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܕ ܙܩܝܦ ܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܠܐܪܡܝܐ ܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܀
24but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.
24ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
25ܡܛܠ ܕܫܛܝܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܟܪܝܗܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܝܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀
26For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
26ܚܙܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܦ ܩܪܝܬܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܘܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܛܘܗܡܐ ܪܒܐ ܀
27But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;
27ܐܠܐ ܓܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܤܟܠܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܠܚܟܝܡܐ ܘܓܒܐ ܟܪܝܗܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܠܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܀
28and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;
28ܘܓܒܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܨܝܪ ܛܘܗܡܗܘܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܘܠܡܤܠܝܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܒܛܠ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܀
29so that no flesh should boast before God.
29ܕܠܐ ܢܫܬܒܗܪ ܟܠ ܒܤܪ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܀
30But of him are *ye* in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;
30ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܘܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܀
31that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.
31ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܡܢ ܕܡܫܬܒܗܪ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܢܫܬܒܗܪ ܀
