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

¹Tudi jaz, bratje, nisem mogel govoriti vam kakor duhovnim, temuč kakor mesenim, kakor nedoraslim v Kristusu.

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.

²Mleka sem vam dal piti, ne jedi, kajti niste je še zmogli; pa tudi še sedaj je ne zmorete,

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

³ker ste še meseni. Kajti kjer je med vami zavist in prepir, niste li meseni in ne postopate li po človeški?

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

⁴Če namreč kdo pravi: ‚Jaz sem Pavlov‘, a drugi: ‚Jaz sem Apolov‘, niste li meseni ljudje?

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

⁵Kaj je torej Apolo? in kaj je Pavel? Služabnika sta, po katerih ste vero sprejeli, in to, kakor je Gospod vsakteremu dal:

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

⁶jaz sem sadil, Apolo je zalil, ali Bog je dal, da je zraslo.

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

⁷Tako ni ne tisti kaj, kateri sadi, ne, kateri zaliva, temuč ki daje rasti, Bog.

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

⁸Ta pa, ki sadi in ki zaliva, sta eno; vsak pa prejme svoje plačilo po lastnem trudu.

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

⁹Božji namreč smo sodelavci; Božja njiva, Božje poslopje ste vi.

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.

¹⁰Po milosti Božji, ki mi je dana, sem položil kakor modri zidar temelj, a drug nanj zida; ali vsak naj gleda, kako nanj zida.

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

¹¹Kajti drugega temelja ne more nihče položiti razen tega, ki je položen, ki je Jezus Kristus.

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

¹²Če pa kdo zida na ta temelj zlato, srebro, drago kamenje, drva, seno, strn:

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.

¹³vsakega delo postane očitno; kajti dan ga razodene, ker se v ognju odkrije, in ogenj preizkusi delo vsakega, kakšno je.

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

¹⁴Če ostane komu delo, katero je postavil na njem, prejme plačilo;

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

¹⁵če komu delo zgori, prejme škodo, sam pa bo zveličan, ali tako, kakor po ognju.

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

¹⁶Ne veste, da ste tempelj Božji in da Duh Božji prebiva v vas?

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

¹⁷Če kdo pokvari tempelj Božji, tega pogubi Bog; zakaj tempelj Božji je svet, kateri ste vi.

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.

¹⁸Nihče naj sebe ne slepi! Če kdo misli, da je moder med vami na tem svetu, naj postane neumen, da postane moder.

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

¹⁹Kajti modrost tega sveta je neumnost pri Bogu. Pisano je namreč: „On zasačuje modre v njih lastni zvijači“;

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

²⁰in zopet: „Gospod pozna misli modrih, da so prazne“.

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

²¹Tako naj se nihče ne hvali z ljudmi. Kajti vse je vaše,

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

²²bodi si Pavel ali Apolo ali Kefa, bodisi svet ali življenje ali smrt, bodisi sedanje ali bodoče: vse je vaše,vi pa ste Kristusovi, a Kristus Božji.

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

²³vi pa ste Kristusovi, a Kristus Božji.
