¹Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

¹Paula, Pathian deihlama Jesu Kris sawltaka sap leh i unaupa Sostheni,

²unto the church of God which is at Corinth, [even] them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their [Lord] and ours:

²Korinth khua a Pathian saptuam omte, Kris Jesu a sehtuam, gam chiha I Toupa, amau leh eite Toupa, Jesu Kris min lou tengteng toh misiangthou hi dinga sapte kiangah:

³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³Pathian I Pa leh Toupa Jesu Kris kianga kipan hehpihna leh lemna na kiang uah om hen.

⁴I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

⁴Kris Jesu a Pathian hehpihna na kiang ua hongkipia jiakin na tung thu uah Pathian kiangah kipahthu ka gen gige hi;

⁵that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge;

⁵Bangkimah thugen peuhmah ah leh theihna chi tengah, amaha hihhauhin na om uh.

⁶even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

⁶Huchibangin Kris thu ka theihsak pen noumau ah hihkipin a om hi;

⁷so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁷Huan, i Toupa Jesu Kris kilakna ngak kawmin, khalam thilpiak himhim na tasam kei uhi;

⁸who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye be] unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸Aman, i Toupa Jesu Kris ni chia gensiat beia na omna ding un, a tawp phain a honhihkip behlap ding hi.

⁹God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁹Pathian, a Tapa Jesu Kris i Toupa kithuahpihnaa nou honsam lutpa, a muanhuai hi.

¹⁰Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

¹⁰Huan, unaute aw, na vek un thu kibang na gen ua, na lak ua kikhenna himhim a om louhna dingin lungsim munkhat leh ngaihtuah munkhata diktaka na kizop chinten jawkna ding un Toupa Jesu Kris minin kon ngen ahi.

¹¹For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them [that are of the household] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

¹¹Ka unaute aw, na tungtangthu uh, na lak uah kiselna bang a om chih Kloi inkuanpihten honhilh ua.

¹²Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos: and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

¹²Hiai ka chihna ahi, mi tengtengin, Kei Paula pawl ka hi, Kei jaw Apolla pawl ka hi, Kei jaw Kifa pawl ka hi, Kei jaw Kris pawl ka hi, na chih vengvung uh.

¹³Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?

¹³Kris khenin a om ahia? Paula na sik un kilhdenin a om ahia? Ahihkeileh Paula mina baptisin na om ua hia?

¹⁴I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;

¹⁴Krispa leh Gaia loungal na lak uah mi kuamah kon baptis louh jiakin Pathian kiangah kipahthu ka gen jel ahi;

¹⁵lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name.

¹⁵Huchi hikei leh jaw min keimah mina baptis na hi uh a chi kha ding uhi.

¹⁶And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

¹⁶Stephan inkuanpihte bel ka baptis ngeia, tuate loujaw mi dang ka baptis hiam ka theikei.

¹⁷For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

¹⁷Kris in baptis dingin honsawl ngal keia, Tanchin Hoih gen dingin honsawl jaw ahi; thu pila gen louin, huchilou injaw Kris kros thilhihtheihna bangmah lou a suaksak kha ding uhi.

¹⁸For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God.

¹⁸Kros thu jaw mangthang lelte adin haina ahi ngala; eite hotdam lelte adin bel Pathian thilhihtheihna ahi jaw hi.

¹⁹For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought.

¹⁹Mi pil pilna ka hihmang dinga, lemthei lemtheihna leng ka paikhe ding, chih gelh ahi ngal a.

²⁰Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

²⁰Mipil koiah ahia? Laigelhmi koiah ahia? Hiai khovela selhatmi koiah ahia? Pathianin khovel pilna haihuai ahi chih a theisak kei ahia?

²¹For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe.

²¹Pathian pilna ah bel, khovelin a pilna zanga Pathian a theihtheih louh nungin thugen haihuai zanga a gingtate hotdam tuh a kipahlam ahi.

²²Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:

²²Judaten chiamtehnate a phut nak ua, Grikten pilna a zong nak uhi.

²³but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;

²³Eiten bel Kris kilhden thu i gen jel ua; huai tuh Judate adin pukna, Jentelte adin haina ahi a;

²⁴but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

²⁴Himahleh Judate leng hi hen aw, Grikte leng hi heh, sapte adin jaw Kris, Pathian thilhihtheihna leh Pathian pilna pen ahi.

²⁵Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

²⁵Pathian haina mihing sangin a piljaw a, Pathian hatlouhna leng huai mihing sangin a hat jaw nak nak hi.

²⁶For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:

²⁶Unaute aw, a honsapna ngaihtuah dih ua, salama mi pil tampite, mi hat tampite, mi hoih pipite, sap a hih louhdan uh:

²⁷but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

²⁷Himahleh, Pathian in khovel thil haite a tel jaw a, mi pilte a zahlaksak theihna dingin; huan Pathianin khovel thil hatloute a tela, a hatte a zahlak sak theihna dingin;

²⁸and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:

²⁸Khovel thil niam leh thil siammohhuaite, thil omloute toh tanin Pathian in a tela, thil omte bangmah loua a bawl theihna dingin;

²⁹that no flesh should glory before God.

²⁹Huchiin, Pathian maah mi kuamah a kiuangsak theikei ding uh.

³⁰But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

³⁰Amah tuh Kris-a noute hinna nak ahi; huan Pathianin Kris tuh i pilna bang, I diktatna bang, i sianthouna bang, i tatna bang hi dingin a bawlta;Huaijiakin, gelh ahih bangin, a suang peuhmahin Toupa suang hen.

³¹that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

³¹Huaijiakin, gelh ahih bangin, a suang peuhmahin Toupa suang hen.
