1 And the teaching I gave you, my brothers, was such as I was able to give, not to those who have the Spirit, but to those who are still in the flesh, even to children in Christ.

2 I gave you milk and not meat, because you were, then, unable to take it, and even now you are not able;

3 Because you are still in the flesh: for when there is envy and division among you, are you not still walking after the way of the flesh, even as natural men?

4 For when one says, I am of Paul; and another says, I am of Apollos; are you not talking like natural men?

5 What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? They are but servants who gave you the good news as God gave it to them.

6 I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but God gave the increase.

7 So then the planter is nothing, and the waterer is nothing; but God who gives the increase.

8 Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work.

9 For we are workers with God: you are God's planting, God's building.

10 In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it. But let every man take care what he puts on it.

11 For there is no other base for the building but that which has been put down, which is Jesus Christ.

12 But on the base a man may put gold, silver, stones of great price, wood, dry grass, cut stems;

13 Every man's work will be made clear in that day, because it will be tested by fire; and the fire itself will make clear the quality of every man's work.

14 If any man's work comes through the test, he will have a reward.

15 If the fire puts an end to any man's work, it will be his loss: but he will get salvation himself, though as by fire.

16 Do you not see that you are God's holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you?

17 If anyone makes the house of God unclean, God will put an end to him; for the house of God is holy, and you are his house.

18 Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolish before God. As it is said in the holy Writings, He who takes the wise in their secret designs:

20 And again, The Lord has knowledge of the reasonings of the wise, that they are nothing.

21 So let no one take pride in men. For all things are yours;

22 Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

23 And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

1 Na ko ahau, e oku teina, kihai i ahei te korero ki a koutou me taku ki te hunga i te Wairua, engari i te kikokiko, ano ki nga kohungahunga i roto i a te Karaiti.

2 He waiu taku i whangai atu na ma koutou, ehara i te kai maro: kiano hoki i taea e koutou te kai maro, a kahore nei ano i taea e koutou inaianei:

3 Kei te kikokiko tonu hoki koutou: i te mea kei a koutou tonu te hae, te totohe, te wehewehe, ehara oti koutou i te hunga i te kikokiko, e haere ana i runga i ta te tangata ritenga?

4 I tetahi hoki ka ki nei, Ko ahau no Paora; me tetahi atu, Ko ahau no Aporo, ehara oti koutou i te hunga i te kikokiko?

5 Tena ko wai a Aporo? a ko wai a Paora? He minita i whakapono ai koutou; ki ia tangata i ta te Ariki i homai ai.

6 Naku i whakato, na Aporo i whakamakuku; na te Atua ia i mea kia tupu.

7 Heoi he kore noa iho te kaiwhakato, he kore noa iho te kaiwhakamakuku, engari te Atua nana nei i mea kia tupu.

8 Na ko te kaiwhakato, ko te kaiwhakamakuku, kotahi tonu raua: otira ka rite ki tana ake mahi te utu e riro mai i tena, i tena o raua.

9 He hoa mahi hoki matou no te Atua: he mara koutou na te Atua, he whare hanga na te Atua.

10 Kei te ritenga o te aroha noa o te Atua i homai nei ki ahau, kua whakatakotoria e ahau te tunga, he pera me ta te tohunga; a ko tetahi atu kei te hanga whare ki runga. Otira kia tupato ia tangata ki tana whare e hanga ai ki runga.

11 E kore hoki tetahi tangata e ahei te whakatakoto i tetahi tunga ke atu i tera kua oti nei te whakatakoto, ara i a Ihu Karaiti.

12 Engari ki te hanga tetahi ki runga ki te tunga he koura, he hiriwa, he kohatu utu nui, he rakau, he tarutaru, he otaota;

13 Ka whakakitea te mahi a tetahi, a tetahi: ma te ra hoki e whakaatu, no te mea ka whakakitea e te kapura; a ma te kapura tonu e whakamatautau te mahi a tena, a tena, he pehea tona ahua.

14 Ki te mau tonu te mahi a tetahi e hanga ai ki runga, ka riro i a ia he utu.

15 Ki te wera te mahi a tetahi, ka maumauria tana: ko ia ia ka ora; otira me te mea ma roto i te ahi.

16 Kahore oti koutou i matau, he whare tapu koutou no te Atua, a kei roto i a koutou te Wairua o te Atua e noho ana?

17 Ki te whakangaromia e tetahi te whare tapu o te Atua, ka whakangaromia hoki ia e te Atua; he tapu hoki te whare o te Atua, a ko koutou taua whare.

18 Kei hangarau tetahi ki a ia ano. Ki te mea tetahi he tangata mohio ia i roto i a koutou i tenei ao, tukua ia hei kuware kia tupu ai hei tangata whakaaro.

19 Ki te Atua hoki he kuware noa nga whakaaro mohio o tenei ao: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka mau i a ia te hunga whakaaro i runga i to ratou tinihanga:

20 Me tenei hoki, E matau ana te Ariki ki nga whakaaro o te hunga whakaaro, he tekateka noa.

21 No reira kei whakamanamana tetahi ki te tangata: no koutou hoki nga mea katoa:

22 Ahakoa a Paora, a Aporo, a Kipa, te ao, te ora, te mate ranei, nga mea onaianei, nga mea ranei e takoto mai nei, no koutou katoa;

23 A ko koutou no te Karaiti, ko te Karaiti no te Atua.
