고린도전서 1-16장 [새번역] 1st Corinthians [십자가의 말씀이 멸망할 자들에게는 어리석은 것이지만, 구원을 받는 사람인 우리에게는 하나님의 능력입니다.] 

Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ--their Lord and ours:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.
For in him you have been enriched in every way--in all your speaking and in all your knowledge--
because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.
He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.
My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ."
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?
I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.
(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.)
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom,
but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are,
so that no one may boast before him.
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
(1) 인 사
바울은 인사를 끝내고 모든 문제의 해결자로 그리스도의 이름을 아홉 번이나 적으면 서 그리스도께 대한 관심을 일으키고 있다.
(2) 글로에의 집 편으로 들은 것에 대한 답변
고린도교회에는 바울파, 아볼로파, 게바파, 그리스도파의 네 파가 있었는데 분쟁하고 있다는것을 알고 책망하였다.
그러나 교회의 징계는 어디까지나 사랑의 정신을 가지 고 해야 한다(고전5:1-13). 교인간의 송사는 피차 그리스도 안에서 형제로서 교회 안에서 처리하여야 하며 그리 스도인의 자기의 권리를 양보하는 정신으로 살 때 형제와 더불어 평화롭게 살수 있는 것이다(고전6:1-11). 그리고 음행에 관해서 우리의 몸이 그리스도의 지체라는 것을(고전6:15) 자각하고 음행하 는 일이 없게 하도록 그리스도인의 몸은 성령의 전인 즉 항상 정결하게 간수하여 성령 이 쓰시기에 합당하게 해야 한다(고전6:12-20).
(3) 편지에 대한 답변
결혼에 대하여서는 하나님께서 주신 자연성을 거룩하게 살려서 정당한 결혼 생활을 해야 한다고 권하였다(고전7:1-40). 우상의 제물에 관하여는 고린도에는 우상과 미신이 성행하였으며 우상제단에 바쳤던 제물을 먹는 것에 대하여 문제가 생겼다.
제물 자체는 하나님께서 주신 음식이므로 먹어도 상관이 없다.
그러나 이러한 행동이 마음이 약한 사람에게 꺼림이 된다면 삼갈 것이라고 하였다(고전8:1-11:1). 공중 예배에 있어서 여인들이 머리에 너울을 쓰는 것에 대하여 그것이 직접 영혼의 구원에 관련되지 않는 한 함부로 사회 관습을 변경 해서는 않된다.
성만찬에 대해서(고전11:2-34).
