KORINTOKO ELIZ ELKARTEAN ZATIKETAK (1,10—4,21)

Korintoarren alderdikeriak

10 Senideok, Jesu Kristo gure Jaunaren izenean, arren eskatzen dizuet: bat etor zaitezte guztiokt eta ez bedi izan zatiketarik zuen artean. Bizi elkar ongi harturik, ikuspegi eta iritzi bat bera duzuela.
11 Kloeren jendearengandikt jakin dut, senideok, eztabaidak dituzuela zeuen artean. 12 Alegia, nork bere aldetik honela omen dio: «Ni Paulorena naiz», «Ni Apolorena», «Ni Pedrorena», «Ni Kristorena»t.t 13 Zatitua ote dago, bada, Kristo? Paulo gurutziltzatu ote zuten zuengatik? Edo Pauloren izenean bataiatu ote zintuzteten? 14 Jainkoari eskerrak, ez dut nik zuetako inor bataiatu, Krispot eta Gaio izan ezik. 15 Horrela, inork ez dezake esan nire izenean bataiatua izan denik. 16 A bai, Estebanen etxekoakt ere nik bataiatu nituen, baina ez dut uste beste inor bataiatu dudanik.

17 Izan ere, Kristok ez ninduen bataiatzera bidalit,t berri ona hots egitera baizik, eta hau ez giza jakinduriazko hitzez, Kristoren gurutzeak bere indarra gal ez dezan.

Kristo gurutziltzatua Jainkoaren indar eta jakinduria

19 Liburu Santuak dio, izan ere:
Hondatu t egingo dut
jakintsuen jakinduria,
eta huts bihurtuko adituen adimena t .
20 Zertan dira jakintsuak, ikasiakt , mundu honetako gauzetan adituak? Jainkoak ez ote du zorakeria bihurtu mundu honetako jakinduriat? 21 Begira, Jainkoak bere jakinduria agertut duenean, gizakiak ez dira gauza izan beren jakinduriaz Jainkoa ezagutzeko; horregatik, Jainkoak, guk hots egiten dugun zorakeriaren bitartez salbatu nahi izan ditu fededunak. 22 Juduak mirarizko seinale esket dabiltza, eta jentilak jakinduria bila; 23 guk, berriz, Kristo gurutziltzatua predikatzen dugu, juduentzat onartezinat eta jentilentzat zentzurik gabea dena; 24 baina Jainkoak deitu dituenentzat, judu izan ala ez, Kristo hori Jainkoarent indar eta Jainkoaren jakinduria da.

25 Zeren Jainkoarengan zorakeria dirudiena gizakiak baino jakintsuago baita, eta Jainkoarengan ahulezia dirudiena gizakiak baino indartsuagot.
26 Begira bestela, senideok, zeintzuk zareten Jainkoak deitu zaituztenok: ez dira zuen artean munduak jakintsutzat hartzen dituenetatik asko, ezta ahaltsu nahiz aitoren semeetatik ere.t 27 Aitzitik, munduak zorotzat duena aukeratu du Jainkoak jakintsuak lotsarazteko, eta munduak argaltzat duena indartsuak lotsarazteko; 28 munduak baliogabetzat eta mespretxagarritzat duena, munduaren begitan ezerez dena, aukeratu du Jainkoak, zerbait direla uste dutenak ezerezteko; 29 horrela, ez du inork Jainkoaren aurrean harrotzerikt. 30 Berari zor diozue izatea, Jesu Kristori esker. Berau egin du Jainkoak guretzat jakinduria, berorren bidez askatu gaitu bekatutik, salbatu eta bere egint.t 31 Horrela betetzen da Liburu Santuak dioen hura: Harrotutnahi duena, harro bedi Jaunarengan.

1 Corinthians 1

Salutation

1 From Paul,t called to be an apostle of Christ Jesuss by the will of God, and Sosthenes, our brother,2 to the church of God that is in Corinth,s to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be saints, with all those in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.t

3 Grace and peace to yout from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Thanksgiving

4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus.5 For you were made richs in every way in him, in all your speech and in every kind of knowledges –6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you –7 so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelations of our Lord Jesus Christ.8 Het will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Divisions in the Church

10 I urge you, brothers and sisters,t by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together,t to end your divisions,t and to be united by the same mind and purpose.t11 For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters,t that there are quarrelst among you.12 Now I mean this, thatt each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.”13 Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he?t Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul?t14 I thank Gods that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name!16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanus. Otherwise, I do not remember whether I baptized anyone else.)

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel – and not with clever speech, so that the cross of Christ would not become useless.t

The Message of the Cross

18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.”s20 Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Mosaic law?t Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish?21 For since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe by the foolishness of preaching.22 For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,23 but we preach about a crucified Christ,t a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.24 But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,t and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.t
26 Think about the circumstances of your call,t brothers and sisters.t Not many were wise by human standards,t not many were powerful, not many were born to a privileged position.t27 But God chose what the world thinks foolish to shame the wise, and God chose what the world thinks weak to shame the strong.28 God choset what is low and despised in the world, what is regarded as nothing, to set aside what is regarded as something,29 so that no one can boast in his presence.30 He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus,t who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”s
