1 Korintus 1:4

Thanksgiving

1:4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus.

1 Korintus 1:7-8

1:7 so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation ¹  of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:8 He ²  will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Korintus 1:11

1:11 For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters, ³  that there are quarrels ⁴  among you.

1 Korintus 2:2

2:2 For I decided to be concerned about nothing ⁵  among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

1 Korintus 3:1

Immaturity and Self-deception

3:1 So, brothers and sisters, ⁶  I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but instead as people of the flesh, ⁷  as infants in Christ.

1 Korintus 3:3

3:3 for you are still influenced by the flesh. ⁸  For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people? ⁹ 

1 Korintus 3:16

3:16 Do you not know that you are God’s temple ¹⁰  and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

1 Korintus 4:4

4:4 For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted because of this. The one who judges me is the Lord.

1 Korintus 6:4

6:4 So if you have ordinary lawsuits, do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church? ¹¹ 

1 Korintus 7:18

7:18 Was anyone called after he had been circumcised? He should not try to undo his circumcision. ¹²  Was anyone called who is uncircumcised? He should not get circumcised.

1 Korintus 8:11

8:11 So by your knowledge the weak brother or sister, ¹³  for whom Christ died, is destroyed. ¹⁴ 

1 Korintus 10:17

10:17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share the one bread.

1 Korintus 11:21

11:21 For when it is time to eat, everyone proceeds with his own supper. One is hungry and another becomes drunk.

1 Korintus 12:6

12:6 And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.

1 Korintus 12:11

12:11 It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.

1 Korintus 12:25

12:25 so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another.

1 Korintus 14:28

14:28 But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God.

1 Korintus 14:33

14:33 for God is not characterized by disorder but by peace.

As in all the churches of the saints, ¹⁵ 

1 Korintus 15:17

15:17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins.

1 Korintus 15:31

15:31 Every day I am in danger of death! This is as sure as ¹⁶  my boasting in you, ¹⁷  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Korintus 15:41

15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory.

[1:7]  ¹ sn The revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ refers to the Lord’s return, when he will be revealed (cf. the reference to the day of our Lord Jesus Christ in v. 8).

[1:8]  ² tn Grk “who,” referring to Christ. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:11]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[1:11]  ⁴ tn Or “rivalries, disputes.”

[2:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “to know nothing.”

[3:1]  ⁶ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[3:1]  ⁷ tn Grk “fleshly [people]”; the Greek term here is σαρκινός (BDAG 914 s.v. 1).

[3:3]  ⁸ tn Or “are still merely human”; Grk “fleshly.” Cf. BDAG 914 s.v. σαρκικός 2, “pert. to being human at a disappointing level of behavior or characteristics, (merely) human.” The same phrase occurs again later in this verse.

[3:3]  ⁹ tn Grk “and walking in accordance with man,” i.e., living like (fallen) humanity without the Spirit’s influence; hence, “unregenerate people.”

[3:16]  ¹⁰ sn You are God’s temple refers here to the church, since the pronoun you is plural in the Greek text. (In 6:19 the same imagery is used in a different context to refer to the individual believer.)

[6:4]  ¹¹ tn Or “if you have ordinary lawsuits, appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church!” This alternative reading (cf. KJV, NIV) takes the Greek verb καθίζετε (kaqizete) as an ironic imperative instead of a question. This verb comes, however, at the end of the sentence. It is not impossible that Paul meant for it to be understood this way, but its placement in the sentence does not make this probable.

[7:18]  ¹² tn Grk “Let him not pull over the foreskin,” that is, attempt to reverse the appearance of circumcision by a surgical procedure. This was sometimes done by Hellenistic Jews to hide the embarrassment of circumcision (1 Macc 1:15; Josephus, Ant. 12.5.1 [12.241]). Cf. BDAG 380 s.v. ἐπισπάω 3.

[8:11]  ¹³ tn Grk “the one who is weak…the brother for whom Christ died,” but see note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.

[8:11]  ¹⁴ tn This may be an indirect middle, “destroys himself.”

[14:33]  ¹⁵ sn This phrase may be taken with v. 33a.

[15:31]  ¹⁶ tn Or, more literally, “I swear by the boasting in you.”

[15:31]  ¹⁷ tc ‡ Although the witnesses for the shorter reading (Ì⁴⁶ D F G Ψ 075 0243 1739 1881 Ï) are not as strong as for the addition of ἀδελφοί (adelfoi, “brothers”) at this juncture (א A B K P 33 81 104 365 1175 2464 lat sy co), it is difficult to find a reason why scribes would either intentionally or unintentionally drop the address here. Thus, the shorter reading is slightly preferred.
