|  1 Corinthians 1 | |
Paul, Called to be an Apostle, through Yeshua, the Messiah, by the will, of Elohim, and our Brother, Sosthenes, to the Assemble, which is at Corinth, to those Sanctified, through Yeshua, the Messiah, and Called, to be Holy, together with all those everywhere, who Call, on the Name, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, their Lord, and ours. Grace, and Peace, to you from Elohim, our Father, through our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, I always thank Elohim, for you, because of his Grace, given you, through Yeshua, the Messiah, for through him, you have been Enriched, in every way, in all your Speaking, and in all your Knowledge, because our Testimony, about the Messiah, was Confirmed among you. Therefore you, do not lack any Knowledge, as you Eagerly Wait, for out Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, to be Revealed, who also will Strengthen you, to the End, so that you, may be Blameless, in the Day, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah. Elohim, by whom you, have been Called, to the Fellowship, through his Son, Yeshua, the Messiah, our Lord, is Trustworthy, I Appeal to you. Brothers, through the Name, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, that there may be no Divisions, among you, and that you, may be Perfectly United, in One Mind, and of One way, of Thinking. For concerning you, my Brothers, it has been Reported to me, by the House, of Chloe, that there are Contentions, among you, and this I State, that One, of you says, I Follow Paul, another, I Follow Apollos, another, I Follow Peter, still another, I Follow the Messiah, is the Messiah Divided, was Paul Resurrected, for you, were you Baptized, through 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, through my Name. Yes, I also Baptized, the Household, of Stephanas, beyond that, I do not Remember, if I Baptized anyone else, for Elohim, did not send me, to Baptize, but to Preach, the Gospel, not with Words, of Human Wisdom, lest the Resurrection, of the Messiah, be Emptied, of its Power.
For the Message, of the Resurrection, is Foolishness to those, who have gone Astray, but to us, who are being Saved, it is the Power, of Elohim. 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 Teacher, of the Law, where is the Learned, of this Age, has not Elohim Showed, that the Wisdom, of this World, is Folly. For in the Wisdom, of Elohim, because the World, by Wisdom, Knew not Elohim, Elohim was Pleased, through the Foolishness, of what was Preached, to Save those, who believe, for Israelites, Demand Signs, and Gentiles, Require Wisdom, but we Preach, the Messiah Resurrected, which is a Stumbling Block, to the Israelites, and Foolishness, to Gentiles, but to those, whom Elohim has Called, both Israelites, and Gentiles, through the Messiah, the Power, of Elohim, and the Wisdom, of Elohim, for the Foolishness, of Elohim, is Wiser, than Man's Wisdom, and the Weakness, of Elohim, is Stronger, than Man's Strength. Brothers, Think of what you were, when you were Called, not many among you, are Wise in Terms, of Worldly things, and not many among you, are Mighty, and not many among you, belong to the Nobility, but Elohim, Chose the Simple, of the World, to Shame the Wise, Elohim, Chose the Weak, of the World, to Embarrass, the Might, and he has Chosen those, of Humble Families, in the World, and the lowly, and those, who are Insignificant, in order to Belittle those, who Consider themselves Important, so that, no one may Boast, in his Presence. But also you, Belong to Elohim, through Yeshua, the Messiah, who from Elohim, is Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Salvation, to all of us, according to that, which is Written, he that Glories, let him Glory, in our Lord.
When I came to you, Brothers, I did not come, with Eloquence, or Superior Wisdom, as I Proclaimed to you, the Mystery, of Elohim, for I Resolved, to Know Nothing, while I was with you, except Yeshua, the Messiah, and him Resurrected. I came to you, in Weakness, and Fear, and with much Trembling, my Message, and my Preaching, were not with Wise, and Persuasive Words, but with a Demonstration, of Elohim's Power, so that, your believing, might not Rest, on Men's Wisdom, but on Elohim's Power. We do however, Speak a Message, of Wisdom, among the Mature, but not the Wisdom, of this Age, or of the Rulers, of this Age, who are coming to Nothing, no, we Speak, of Elohim's Secret Wisdom, a Wisdom, that has been Hidden, and that Elohim Destined, for our Glory, before Time began. None of the Rulers, of this Age, Understood it, for if they had, they would not have Crucified, our Lord, of Glory, however, as it is Written, no Eye, has Seen, no Ear, has heard, no Mind, has Conceived, what Elohim, has Prepared for those, who Love him, but Elohim, has Revealed it to us, through his power. The Power, Searches all things, even the Deep things, of Elohim, for who among Men, Knows the Thoughts, of a Man, except the Man's Mind, within him, in the same way, no one Knows the Thoughts, of Elohim, Except the Power, of Elohim. We have not Received the Power, of the World, but the Power, that is from Elohim, that we may Understand, what Elohim, has Freely given us, this is what we Speak, not in Words, Taught us, by Human Wisdom, but in Words, Taught through the Power, Expressing Elohim's Truths, in Powerful Words. The Man, without the Power, does not accept the things, that come through the Power, of Elohim, for they are Foolishness, to him, and he cannot Understand them, because they are Worldly Discerned, the Unworldly Man, Discerns everything, and yet no Man, can Discern him, for who Knows the Mind, of Yahweh, that he may teach it, but we have the Mind, of the Messiah.
Brothers, I could not Address you, as Unworldly, but as Worldly, mere Infants, in the Messiah, I gave you Milk, not Solid Food, for you, were not yet ready for it, indeed, you are still not ready, you are still Worldly, for since there is Jealousy, and Quarreling, among you, are you not Worldly, are you not Acting, like mere Men. For when One says, I Follow Paul, and another, I Follow Apollos, are you, not mere Men, what after all is Apollos, and what is Paul, only Servants, through whom you, came to believe. As Elohim has Assigned, to each his Task, I Planted the Seed, Apollos Watered it, but Elohim, Produced the Growth, so neither he, who Plants, nor he, who Waters, is anything, but Elohim, who Produced the Growth, the Man, who Plants, and the Man, who Waters, have One Purpose, and each will be Rewarded, according to his own Labor. For we, are Elohim's Fellow Workers, you are Elohim's Field, Elohim's Building, by the Grace, Elohim has give me, I Laid a Foundation, as an Expert Builder, and someone else is Building, on it, but each One, should be careful, how he Builds, for no one, can Lay any Foundation, other then the One, already Laid, which is Yeshua, the Messiah. If any Man Builds, on this Foundation, using Gold, Silver, Costly Stones, Wood, Hay, or Straw, his Work will be Shown, for what it is, because the Day, will bring it, to Light, it will be Revealed, with Fire, and the Fire, will Test the Quality, of each Man's Work, if what he has Built, Survives, he will Receive, his Reward, if it is Burned up, he will Suffer Loss, he himself will be Saved, but only as One, Escaping through the Flames.
Do you not Know, that you are a Sanctuary, of Elohim, and the Power, of Elohim, Dwells in you, if anyone Corrupts the Sanctuary, of Elohim, Elohim will bring that One, to Corruption, for the Sanctuary, of Elohim, is Holy, which you are. Do not Deceive yourselves, if anyone of you Thinks, he is Wise, by the standards, of this Age, he should become a Fool, so that he may become Wise, for the Wisdom, of this World, is Foolishness, in Elohim's Sight, as it is Written, he Catches the Wise, in their Craftiness, and again, Elohim Knows the Devices, of the Wise, that they are Vain. So then, no more Boasting, about Men, for all things are yours, whether Paul, or Apollos, or Peter, or the World, or Life, or Death, or the Present, or the Future, all are yours, and you, are of the Messiah, and the Messiah, is of Elohim, so then, Men ought to Regard us, as Servants, of the Messiah, and as those Entrusted, with the Secret things, of Elohim. Now it is Required, that those, who have been given a Trust, must Prove Faithful, I Care very Little, if I am Judged, by you, or by anyone else, because I do not Judge myself, my Conscience, is Clear, but that does not, make me Innocent, it is our Lord, who Judges me, therefore, Judge nothing, before the Appointed Time, wait till our Lord comes, he will bring to Light, what is Hidden, in Darkness, and will Expose the Motives, of Men's Minds, at that Time, each will receive his Praise, from Elohim.
Now Brothers, I have Applied these things, to myself, and Apollos, for your Benefit, so that, you may Learn, from us, the meaning, of the saying, do not go beyond, what is Written, then you, will not take Pride, in One Man, over against another. For who has Examined you, and what do you have, which was not given, to you, and if you did Receive it, then why, do you Boast, as if you had not Received it, already, for a Long Time, you have been Full, and Enriched, and you have Waxed Strong, without our Counsel, and I would to Elohim, you were as Kings, so that, also we might Reign, with you. For it seems to me, that Elohim, has put us Apostles, on Display, at the End, of the Procession, like Men Condemned, to Die, in the Arena, we have been made a Spectacle, to the World, and to Angels, and to Men, we are Fools, for the Messiah's sake, but you are Wise, in the Messiah, we are Weak, but you are Strong, you are Praise, but we are Despised, to this very Hour. We go Hungry, and Thirsty, we are in Rags, we are Brutally Treated, we are Homeless, we Work Hard, with our own Hands, when we are Cursed, we Bless, when we are Persecuted, we Endure it, when we are Slandered, we Answer Kindly, up to this Moment, we have become as Filth, of the World, Dirt, wiped off by all, until now. I am not Writing this, to shame you, but I Instruct you, as Dear Children, for though you, have Ten Thousand Instructors, in the Messiah, yet you, will have not many Fathers, for in Yeshua, the Messiah, I have Begotten you, through the Gospel. I beseech you, therefore, to follow me, for this reason, I am sending to you, Timothy, my Son, whom I love, who is Faithful, in our Lord, that he might bring to your Recollection, my ways, in the Messiah, Agreeably, to what I teach, in all the Assembles.
Some of you, have become Arrogant, as if I were not coming, to you, but I will come, to you very soon, if Elohim is Willing, and then I will find out, not only how, these Arrogant People are Talking, but what Power, they have, for the Kingdom, of Elohim, is not a matter, of Talk, but of Power. What do you prefer, shall I come to you, with a Whip, or in Love, and with a Gentle Mind, it is Actually Reported, that there is Sexual Immorality, among you, and of a kind, that as is not even Named, among the Heathen. That a Son, should even take the Wife, of his Father, and you are Proud, and have not rather Sat Down, in Grief, that he, who has done this Deed, might be Separated, from you, and I, while Distant from you, in Body, but Present with you, through the Mind, of the Messiah, have already, as if Present, Judged him, who Perpetrates this Deed. That you, all Assemble together, in the Name, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, and I with you, through the Mind, of the Messiah, together with the Power, of Elohim, Hand this Man over, to Satan, for the Destruction, of his Body, in order that, the Seed, may be Saved, in the Day, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, your Glorying, is not Praiseworthy. Know you not, that a Little Leaven, Leavens the whole Batch, of Dough, get Rid, of the Old Yeast, that you, may be a New Batch, without Yeast, as you really are, for our Passover, is the Messiah, who was Sacrificed, for our sake. Therefore, let us keep, the Festival, not with the Old Leaven, neither with the Leaven, of Evil, and Bitterness, but with the Leaven, of Purity, and Sanctity.
I have Written you, in my Letter, not Associate with Immoral Persons, I do not mean, that you should Separate Completely, from all the Immoral People, of this World, or from the Fraudulent, and Extortioners, or from Idolaters, otherwise, you would be Obliged, to leave this World. Now what I have Written, to you, is this, you are not to Associate, with any Person, who is Known, as a Brother, and yet, is Immoral, or Fraudulent, or an Idolater, or a Railer, or a Drunkard, or an Extortioner, with such a Person, you must not Break Bread. For what Business, have I to Judge them, who are without, but those, within the Body, you Judge, and those without, Elohim Judges, and you remove the Wickedness, from among you. Dare any of you, when he has a Controversy, with his Brother, Litigate before the Iniquitous, and not before the Sanctified, or Know you not, that the Sanctified will Judge, the World, and if the World, will be Judged by you, are you not Competent, to Judge Small Affairs. Do you not Know, that we are to Judge Angels, how much more then, should we Judge those, who Belong to this World, you have Worldly Affairs, to be Settled, and yet, you have put Men, of Bad Reputation, in the Assembly, on the Judgment Seat. I Say this, to Shame you, is it possible, that there is nobody among you, Wise enough, who is Competent, to do Equity, between a Brother, and his Brother, but instead, One Brother, goes to Law, against another, and this in Front, of Unbelievers. The very Fact, that you have Lawsuits, among you, means you have been Completely, Defeated already, why not rather be Wronged, why not rather be Cheated, instead you yourselves Cheat, and do Wrong, and you do this, to your Brothers, do you not Know, that the Wicked, will not Inherit, the Kingdom, of Elohim. So not be Deceived, neither the Sexually Immoral, nor Idolaters, nor Adulterers, nor Male Prostitutes, nor Homosexual Offenders, nor Thieves, nor the Greedy, nor Drunkards, nor Slanderers, nor Swindlers, will Inherit, the Kingdom, of Elohim, and that is what, some of you were, but you were Washed, you were Sanctified, you were Justified, in the Name, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, through the Power, of Elohim.
Everything, is Permissible for me, but not everything, is Beneficial, everything, is Permissible for me, but I will not, be Mastered by anything, Food for the Stomach, and the Stomach, for Food, but Elohim, will Destroy both this, and these. The Body is not meant, for Sexual Immorality, but for our Lord, and our Lord, for the Body, and as Elohim, has Raised, our Lord, so he will also Raise us, by his own Power. Know you not, that your Bodies, are the Members, of the Messiah, shall one take a Member, of the Messiah, and make it the Member, of a Harlot, perish, the though, do you not Know, that he who Unites himself, with a harlot, is One with her, in Body, for it is said, the Two, will become One Flesh, but he who Unites himself, with our Lord, is One with him, in Mind. Flee from Sexual Immorality, all other Sins, a Man Commits, are outside his Body, but he who Sins Sexually, Sins against his own Body, do you not Know, that your Body, is a Sanctuary, of Elohim, what is in you, what have you Received, from Elohim, you are not your own, you were bought, at a Price, therefore, you Glorify Elohim, with your Body, and with your Mind, because they, belong to Elohim. |
