1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
1¶ Ka kaha ranei tetahi o koutou, mehemea he tautohe tana ki tona hoa, ki te haere ki te whakawa i te aroaro o te hunga he, a kauaka ki te aroaro o te hunga tapu?
2Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
2Kahore oti koutou i matau ma te hunga tapu e whakawa te ao? ki te riro ma koutou e whakawa te ao, e kore ranei koutou e tau hei whakarite i nga mea iti rawa?
3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
3Kahore koutou i matau ko tatou hei whakawa mo nga anahera? kauaka oti nga mea o tenei ao?
4If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
4Na, ki te mea he whakawa a koutou ki nga mea o tenei ao, whakanohoia ai ranei e koutou ko te hunga iti o te hahi hei whakarite?
5I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
5I korero atu ai ahau i tenei kia whakama ai koutou. Koia ranei, kahore rawa e kitea kia kotahi he tangata whakaaro i roto i a koutou, hei whakarite ina whakawa ona teina i a raua?
6But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
6kei te whakawa ia te tuakana i te teina, a i te aroaro rawa o te hunga whakaponokore?
7Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
7Ehara, kua waiho ke tena hei he i roto i a koutou, ta koutou whakawa tetahi i tetahi. he aha te whakaririka kau ai ina ahatia koutou? he aha te tangohia noatia atu ai a koutou mea?
8Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
8Ehara, ko koutou tonu kei te mahi i te he, a kei te tango pokanoa, ko o koutou teina ano te meatanga.
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
9¶ Tena ranei kahore koutou i te matau, e kore te hunga whakahere he e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua? Kei tinihangatia koutou; e kore te hunga moepuku, te hunga karakia whakapakoko ranei, te hunga puremu, te hunga whakawahine, te hunga ranei e mea ana i te tane hei wahine,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
10Nga tangata tahae, nga tangata apo, nga haurangi, te hunga taunu, te hunga hao taonga ranei, e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
11He pera hoki etahi o koutou i mua; otira kua horoia koutou, kua whakatapua, kua whakatikaia i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, he meatanga na te Wairua o to tatou Atua.
12All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
12¶ He tika nga mea katoa maku, otira e kore e pai katoa. he tika nga mea katoa maku, otira e kore ahau e pai ki tetahi mea hei rangatira moku.
13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
13Ko nga kai mo te kopu, ko te kopu mo nga kai: heoi ka ngaro tenei i te Atua me era hoki. Ehara hoki te tinana i te mea mo te moepuku, engari ma te Ariki, ko te Ariki hoki hei Ariki mo te tinana:
14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
14A na te Atua i ara ai te Ariki, waihoki mana tatou ka ara ai, ma tona kaha.
15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
15Kahore oti koutou i matau, he wahi o koutou tinana no te Karaiti? me tango koia e ahau nga wahi o te Karaiti, a ka mea i a ratou hei wahi mo te wahine kairau? Kahore rapea!
16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
16A kahore ranei koutou i matau, ko te tangata e honoa ki te wahine kairau he tinana kotahi? e ki ana hoki ia, Hei kikokiko kotahi raua tokorua.
17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
17Otiia ko te tangata e honoa ki te Ariki, kotahi tonu te wairua.
18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
18Rere atu ra i te moepuku. No waho o te tinana nga hara katoa e hara ai te tangata; ko te tangata ia e moepuku ana, e hara ana ia ki tona ake tinana.
19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
19A kahore ranei koutou i matau, he whare tapu to koutou tinana no te Wairua Tapu i roto na i a koutou, i homai nei e te Atua? e ehara i te mea no koutou ake koutou;
20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
20Kua oti hoki koutou te hoko ki te utu: whakakororiatia te Atua ki o koutou tinana.
