PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)
PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Pablo, un apóstol de Cristo Jesús, llamado por voluntad de Dios, y el hermano Sóstenes,
1 Παῦλος, κλητὸς ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ διὰ θελήματος Θεοῦ, καὶ Σωσθένης ὁ ἀδελφός,
2 a la iglesia de Dios que está en Corinto, a los llamados santos porque son santificados en Cristo Jesús, con todos los que en todo lugar invocan el Nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, [Señor] de ellos y nuestro.
2 τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῇ οὔσῃ ἐν Κορίνθῳ, ἡγιασμένοις ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, κλητοῖς ἁγίοις, σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ αὐτῶν τε καὶ ἡμῶν·
3 Gracia y paz a ustedes de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
3 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
4 Siempre doy gracias a mi Dios por ustedes, por la gracia que Dios les dio en Cristo Jesús.
4 Εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ μου πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῇ χάριτι τοῦ Θεοῦ τῇ δοθείσῃ ὑμῖν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ,
5 Porque en todo se enriquecieron en Él, en toda palabra y conocimiento,
5 ὅτι ἐν παντὶ ἐπλουτίσθητε ἐν αὐτῷ, ἐν παντὶ λόγῳ καὶ πάσῃ γνώσει,
6 así como el testimonio de Cristo se confirmó en ustedes.
6 καθὼς τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐβεβαιώθη ἐν ὑμῖν,
7 De manera que ustedes no carecen de algún don y esperan la manifestación de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
7 ὥστε ὑμᾶς μὴ ὑστερεῖσθαι ἐν μηδενὶ χαρίσματι, ἀπεκδεχομένους τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ·
8 Quien también los establecerá hasta el fin para que nadie los reprenda en el día de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
8 ὃς καὶ βεβαιώσει ὑμᾶς ἕως τέλους ἀνεγκλήτους ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
9 Fiel es Dios, Quien los llamó a [la] comunión de su Hijo Jesucristo, nuestro Señor.
9 πιστὸς ὁ Θεὸς δι᾽ οὗ ἐκλήθητε εἰς κοινωνίαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν.
10 Hermanos, les ruego en el Nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo que todos se pongan de acuerdo y que no haya divisiones entre ustedes, sino que estén completamente unidos en un solo pensamiento y un mismo parecer.
10 Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα τὸ αὐτὸ λέγητε πάντες, καὶ μὴ ᾖ ἐν ὑμῖν σχίσματα, ἦτε δὲ κατηρτισμένοι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ νοῒ καὶ ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ γνώμῃ.
11 Porque hermanos míos, los de Cloé me informaron que hay contiendas entre ustedes.
11 ἐδηλώθη γάρ μοι περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί μου, ὑπὸ τῶν Χλόης ὅτι ἔριδες ἐν ὑμῖν εἰσι.
12 Me refiero a que algunos de ustedes dicen: Yo soy de Pablo, yo, de Apolos, yo, de Cefas, yo, de Cristo.
12 λέγω δὲ τοῦτο, ὅτι ἕκαστος ὑμῶν λέγει· ἐγὼ μέν εἰμι Παύλου, ἐγὼ δὲ Ἀπολλώ, ἐγὼ δὲ Κηφᾶ, ἐγὼ δὲ Χριστοῦ.
13 ¿Se dividió Cristo? ¿Pablo fue crucificado por ustedes? O, ¿fueron bautizados en el nombre de Pablo?
13 μεμέρισται ὁ Χριστός; μὴ Παῦλος ἐσταυρώθη ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν; ἢ εἰς τὸ ὄνομα Παύλου ἐβαπτίσθητε;
14 Doy gracias a Dios porque a ninguno de ustedes bauticé, excepto a Crispo y a Gayo,
14 εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ ὅτι οὐδένα ὑμῶν ἐβάπτισα εἰ μὴ Κρίσπον καὶ Γάϊον,
15 para que nadie diga que fue bautizado en mi nombre.
15 ἵνα μή τις εἴπῃ ὅτι εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα ἐβάπτισα.
16 También bauticé a la familia de Estéfanas. De los demás no recuerdo si bauticé a otro.
16 ἐβάπτισα δὲ καὶ τὸν Στεφανᾶ οἶκον· λοιπὸν οὐκ οἶδα εἴ τινα ἄλλον ἐβάπτισα.
17 Porque Cristo no me envió a bautizar sino a predicar las Buenas Noticias, no con sabiduría de palabra, para que la cruz de Cristo no sea en vano.
17 οὐ γὰρ ἀπέστειλέ με Χριστὸς βαπτίζειν, ἀλλ᾽ εὐαγγελίζεσθαι, οὐκ ἐν σοφίᾳ λόγου, ἵνα μὴ κενωθῇ ὁ σταυρὸς τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
18 Porque el mensaje de la cruz es locura para los que se pierden. Pero para los que se salvan, es decir, para nosotros, es poder de Dios.
18 Ὁ λόγος γὰρ ὁ τοῦ σταυροῦ τοῖς μὲν ἀπολλυμένοις μωρία ἐστί, τοῖς δὲ σῳζομένοις ἡμῖν δύναμις Θεοῦ ἐστι.
19 Porque está escrito: Destruiré la sabiduría de los sabios y desecharé la inteligencia de los entendidos.
19 γέγραπται γάρ· ἀπολῶ τὴν σοφίαν τῶν σοφῶν, καὶ τὴν σύνεσιν τῶν συνετῶν ἀθετήσω.
20 ¿Dónde está [el] sabio? ¿Dónde [el] escriba? ¿Dónde [el] polemista de este mundo? ¿Dios no transformó la sabiduría del mundo en necedad?
20 ποῦ σοφός; ποῦ γραμματεύς; ποῦ συζητητὴς τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου; οὐχὶ ἐμώρανεν ὁ Θεὸς τὴν σοφίαν τοῦ κόσμου τούτου;
21 Como el mundo no conoció la sabiduría de Dios por medio de su sabiduría humana, agradó a Dios salvar a los que creen por medio de la locura de la predicación.
21 ἐπειδὴ γὰρ ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐκ ἔγνω ὁ κόσμος διὰ τῆς σοφίας τὸν Θεόν, εὐδόκησεν ὁ Θεὸς διὰ τῆς μωρίας τοῦ κηρύγματος σῶσαι τοὺς πιστεύοντας.
22 [Los ]judíos piden señales y [los ]griegos buscan sabiduría,
22 ἐπειδὴ καὶ Ἰουδαῖοι σημεῖον αἰτοῦσι καὶ Ἕλληνες σοφίαν ζητοῦσιν,
23 pero nosotros proclamamos a Cristo crucificado, Quien ciertamente es tropezadero para [los ]judíos, y para [los ]gentiles, locura.
23 ἡμεῖς δὲ κηρύσσομεν Χριστὸν ἐσταυρωμένον, Ἰουδαίοις μὲν σκάνδαλον, Ἕλλησι δὲ μωρίαν,
24 Pero para los llamados, judíos y griegos, Cristo es poder y sabiduría de Dios.
24 αὐτοῖς δὲ τοῖς κλητοῖς, Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησι, Χριστὸν Θεοῦ δύναμιν καὶ Θεοῦ σοφίαν·
25 Lo necio de Dios es más sabio que [la sabiduría] humana, y lo débil de Dios es más fuerte que [la fortaleza] humana.
25 ὅτι τὸ μωρὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ σοφώτερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐστί, καὶ τὸ ἀσθενὲς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἰσχυρότερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐστί.
26 Hermanos, consideren su llamamiento. Entre ustedes no hay muchos sabios según las normas humanas, ni muchos poderosos, ni muchos nobles.
26 Βλέπετε γὰρ τὴν κλῆσιν ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι οὐ πολλοὶ σοφοὶ κατὰ σάρκα, οὐ πολλοὶ δυνατοί, οὐ πολλοὶ εὐγενεῖς,
27 Pero Dios escogió lo necio del mundo para avergonzar a los sabios, y lo débil del mundo para avergonzar a los fuertes.
27 ἀλλὰ τὰ μωρὰ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεὸς ἵνα τοὺς σοφοὺς καταισχύνῃ, καὶ τὰ ἀσθενῆ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεὸς ἵνα καταισχύνῃ τὰ ἰσχυρά,
28 Dios escogió lo vil y despreciado del mundo, los que no son, para anular a los que son,
28 καὶ τὰ ἀγενῆ τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τὰ ἐξουθενημένα ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός, καὶ τὰ μὴ ὄντα, ἵνα τὰ ὄντα καταργήσῃ,
29 a fin de que ninguno se enaltezca delante de Dios.
29 ὅπως μὴ καυχήσηται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
30 Pero por Él ustedes están en Cristo Jesús, a Quien Dios nos ofreció como sabiduría, justificación, santificación y redención,
30 ἐξ αὐτοῦ δὲ ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, ὃς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν σοφία ἀπὸ Θεοῦ, δικαιοσύνη τε καὶ ἁγιασμὸς καὶ ἀπολύτρωσις,
31 para que, como está escrito: El que se enaltece, enaltézcase en [el] Señor.
31 ἵνα, καθὼς γέγραπται, ὁ καυχώμενος ἐν Κυρίῳ καυχάσθω.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 1:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Corinthians (Homily I)

    See how immediately, from the very beginning, he casts down their pride, and dashes to the ground all their fond imagination, in that he speaks of himself as "called." For what I have learnt, saith he, I discovered not myself, nor acquired by my own wisdom, but while I was persecuting and laying waste the Church I was called.

    … "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, neither let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth glory in the Lord, in diligently seeking Him, and doing judgment and righteousness" ), being especially mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus which He spake, teaching …

  3. Quotes verse 1:18 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters III–IV)

    Moreover, they affirm that the Apostle Paul himself made mention of this cross in the following words: "The doctrine of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us who are saved it is the power of God." And again: "God forbid that I should glory in anything save in the cross of Christ, by whom the world …
