¹And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

¹Ka mina, vennad, ei võinud rääkida teile kui vaimsetele, vaid pidin rääkima kui lihalikele, nagu väetitele lastele Kristuses.

²I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

²Ma jootsin teile piima ega andnud tahket rooga, sest seda te ei oleks veel talunud. Kuid ega te nüüdki veel talu,

³For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

³sest et olete ju alles lihalikud. Kui teie seas on kiivust ja riidu - eks te siis ole lihalikud ja eks te käitu inimlikult?

⁴For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

⁴Sest kui üks ütleb: 'Mina olen Pauluse poolel!', teine aga: 'Mina Apollose!' - eks te siis ole nagu inimesed ikka?

⁵Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

⁵Mis on siis Apollos? Mis on Paulus? Teenrid, kelle kaudu te olete saanud usklikuks, nõnda nagu Issand igaühele on andnud.

⁶I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

⁶Mina istutasin, Apollos kastis, kuid Jumal laskis kasvada.

⁷So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

⁷Nõnda siis ei ole midagi see, kes istutab, ega see, kes kastab, vaid Jumal, kes kasvatab.

⁸Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

⁸Istutaja ja kastja teevad sama tööd, aga kumbki saab oma palga vastavalt oma vaevanägemisele.

⁹For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

⁹Sest Jumala kaastöölised oleme meie; Jumala põllumaa, Jumala hoone olete teie.

¹⁰According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

¹⁰Mulle antud Jumala armu järgi olen ma kui tark hooneehitaja rajanud aluse, aga teine ehitab sellele. Igaüks vaadaku siis, kuidas ta ehitab!

¹¹For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

¹¹Jah, teist alust ei saa keegi rajada selle kõrvale, mis on juba olemas - see on Jeesus Kristus.

¹²Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

¹²Kas keegi ehitab sellele alusele hoone kullast, hõbedast, kalliskividest, puudest, heintest või õlgedest -

¹³Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

¹³kord saab igaühe töö avalikuks. Issanda päev teeb selle teatavaks, sest see ilmub tules, ja tuli katsub läbi igaühe töö, missugune see on.

¹⁴If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

¹⁴Kui kellegi töö, mis ta on ehitanud, jääb püsima, siis ta saab palga.

¹⁵If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

¹⁵Kui kellegi töö põleb ära, siis ta saab kahju, aga ta ise päästetakse otsekui läbi tule.

¹⁶Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

¹⁶Eks te tea, et te olete Jumala tempel ja teie sees elab Jumala Vaim?

¹⁷If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

¹⁷Kui keegi rikub Jumala templi, siis Jumal rikub ka tema, sest Jumala tempel on püha, ja see olete teie.

¹⁸Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

¹⁸Ärgu ükski petku ennast! Kes teie seas tundub endale targana selles maailmas, see saagu narriks, et ta saaks targaks!

¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

¹⁹Jumala juures on ju praeguse maailma tarkus narrus, sest on kirjutatud: 'Tema tabab targad nende riugastelt.'

²⁰And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

²⁰Ja taas: 'Issand tunneb ära tarkade arutlused, et need on tühised.'

²¹Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

²¹Nõnda ärgu siis ükski kiidelgu inimestest, sest teie päralt on kõik:

²²Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

²²olgu Paulus, olgu Apollos, olgu Keefas, olgu maailm, olgu elu, olgu surm, olgu käesolev, olgu tulev - kõik on teie päralt,

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

²³teie olete aga Kristuse päralt ja Kristus on Jumala päralt.
