¹ܦܘܠܘܤ ܩܪܝܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܤܘܤܬܢܤ ܐܚܐ ܀

¹Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

²ܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܩܘܪܢܬܘܤ ܩܪܝܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܩܕܫܝܢ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܝܠܢ ܀

²to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

³ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

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

⁴ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܝ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁴I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

⁵ܕܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܥܬܪܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܒܟܠ ܡܠܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܀

⁵that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

⁶ܐܝܟ ܕܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܫܬܪܪܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܀

⁶even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

⁷ܕܠܐ ܐܬܒܨܪܬܘܢ ܒܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܡܘܗܒܬܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܤܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁷so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁸ܕܗܘ ܢܫܪܪܟܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܚܪܝܬܐ ܕܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܒܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁸who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܐܝܕܗ ܐܬܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܠܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܢ ܀

⁹God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

¹⁰ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܠܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܓܡܝܪܝܢ ܒܚܕܐ ܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܘܒܚܕ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܀

¹⁰Now I beg you, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

¹¹ܫܠܚܘ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܟܠܐܐ ܕܚܪܝܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܀

¹¹For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.

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 ܀

¹²Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”

¹³ܕܠܡܐ ܐܬܦܠܓ ܠܗ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܘ ܠܡܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܙܕܩܦ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܐܘ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܦܘܠܘܤ ܥܡܕܬܘܢ ܀

¹³Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

¹⁴ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܝ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܥܡܕܬ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܪܝܤܦܘܤ ܘܠܓܐܝܘܤ ܀

¹⁴I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

¹⁵ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܐܡܪ ܕܒܫܡܝ ܐܥܡܕܬ ܀

¹⁵so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.

¹⁶ܐܥܡܕܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܤܛܦܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܐܥܡܕܬ ܀

¹⁶(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)

¹⁷ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܕܪܢܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܡܥܡܕܘ ܐܠܐ ܠܡܤܒܪܘ ܠܐ ܒܚܟܡܬ ܡܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܬܪܩ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹⁷For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.

¹⁸ܡܠܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܙܩܝܦܐ ܠܐܒܝܕܐ ܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܠܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܝܝܢܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹⁸For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

¹⁹ܟܬܝܒ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܘܒܕ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܚܟܝܡܐ ܘܐܓܠܘܙ ܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܕܤܟܘܠܬܢܐ ܀

¹⁹For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.” Isaiah 29:14

²⁰ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܐܘ ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘ ܤܦܪܐ ܐܘ ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܘܫܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܫܛܝܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܟܡܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

²⁰Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

²¹ܡܛܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܚܟܡܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܥܠܡܐ ܒܚܟܡܬܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܕܟܪܘܙܘܬܐ ܢܚܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܀

²¹For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

²²ܡܛܠ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܫܐܠܝܢ ܘܐܪܡܝܐ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܀

²²For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

²³ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܟܪܙܝܢܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܕ ܙܩܝܦ ܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܠܐܪܡܝܐ ܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܀

²³but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,

²⁴ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²⁴but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

²⁵ܡܛܠ ܕܫܛܝܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܟܪܝܗܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܝܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀

²⁵Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

²⁶ܚܙܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܦ ܩܪܝܬܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܘܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܛܘܗܡܐ ܪܒܐ ܀

²⁶For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

²⁷ܐܠܐ ܓܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܤܟܠܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܠܚܟܝܡܐ ܘܓܒܐ ܟܪܝܗܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܠܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܀

²⁷but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

²⁸ܘܓܒܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܨܝܪ ܛܘܗܡܗܘܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܘܠܡܤܠܝܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܒܛܠ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܀

²⁸and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:

²⁹ܕܠܐ ܢܫܬܒܗܪ ܟܠ ܒܤܪ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܀

²⁹that no flesh should boast before God.

³⁰ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܘܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܀

³⁰But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

³¹ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܡܢ ܕܡܫܬܒܗܪ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܢܫܬܒܗܪ ܀

³¹that, according as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.” Jeremiah 9:24
