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

¹Huan, unaute aw, kha mite kianga gen bangin na kiang uah thu ka gen theikei hi; sa mite kianga gen bangin ka gen jaw, Kris a naungekte kianga gen bang lel in.

²I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able [to bear it]: nay, not even now are ye able;

²Ann gum hilouin, nawituiin kon vaka, a ann gum na nek theih nailouh jiak un; ahi, tuin leng na nethei naikei lailai uh, sa mi na hih lailai jiak un.

³for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?

³Na lak uah kihajatna leh kiselna a om nak jiakin sa mi hi laiin mihing banga omlai hilou na hi u hiam?

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

⁴Mi khatin Paula pawl ka hi, mi dangin, Kei jaw Apollo pawl ka hi, na chih laiteng uh mihing lel hilai hilou na hi uhiam?

⁵What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.

⁵Apollo kua ahia leh? Paula leng kua ahia? Nasemmi, noumau hon gingta sakmi lel ei ve ua, huai leng Toupan a piak bang jelin ahi.

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

⁶Ken ka suana, Apolloin tuiin a vaka, himahleh Pathianin a khang sak ahi.

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

⁷Huchiin, a khangsakpa Pathian kia loungal, a suanpa lah bangmah ahi kei, tuia vakpa leng bangmah ahi tuan kei.

⁸Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

⁸Huan, a suanpa leh tuia vakpa pumkhat ahi ua, himahleh, amau sep gim bang jelin, amau kipahman a mu tuaktuak ding uh.

⁹For we are God's fellow-workers: ye are God's husbandry, God's building.

⁹Koute jaw Pathian na seppihte ka hi ngal ua, nou bel Pathian louma na hi uhi, Pathian inlam leng na hi uhi.

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

¹⁰Pathianin hehpihna honpiak bang jelin innlam heutupen piltak bangin ken suangphum ka lema, mi dangin a tungah inn a lam uhi. Himahleh mi chih a tunga a lamdan ding uah pilvang chiat uhen.

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

¹¹Suangphum lepkhitsa loungal suangphum dang kuamahin a lem theita kei ua, huai suangphum tuh Jesu Kris ahi.

¹²But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;

¹²Huan, suangphum tuangah kuapeuhin dangkaeng in hiam, dangkain hiam, suang mantamin hiam, singin hiam, loupain hiam, buhpawl hiamin lam leh,

¹³each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is.

¹³Mi chih nasep tuh a honglang ding hi; Niin a hihlang ding ahi ngala, meia a kilak dingjiakin; mei ngeingeiin mi chih nasep bangchibang ahia chih a hihchian ding hi.

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

¹⁴Kua nasep leng a tunga a lampen a omgige leh, huai miin kipahman a mu ding.

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

¹⁵Kua nasep leng a kat leh, huai miin a tan ding hi; amah taktak jaw hotdamin a om ding, himahleh, meia pai suak bangin.

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

¹⁶Pathian temple na hih uh leh Pathian Kha noumau ah a om gige chih na theikei ua hia?

¹⁷If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

¹⁷Kuapeuhmahin Pathian temple a hihsiat leh huai mi tuh Pathianin a hihse ding; Pathian temple tuh a siangthou ngala, huai temple tuh noumau na hi uhi.

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

¹⁸Kuamah amah leh amah kikhem kei hen. Na lak ua kuapeuh hiai khovela pil a kisak leh, a hongpil theihna dingin mi hai hongsuak hen.

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

¹⁹Hiai khovel pilna tuh Pathian ngaihdanin haina ahi. Aman tuh amaute a pillepchiahna uah a man hi, chih gelh ahi ngala:

²⁰and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.

²⁰Toupan mi pilte ngaihtuahna a thawn ahi chih, a thei chi-a gelh ahi nawn laia.

²¹Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;

²¹Huaijiakin kuamahin mihingte suang kei uhen; bangkim noua ahi vekta ngala;

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

²²Paula hiam, Apollo hiam, Kifa hiam, khovel hiam, hinna hiam, sihna hiam, thil omsa hiam, thil hongom ding hiam;A vekin noua ahi vek hi; noumau leng Krisa na hi ua; Kris leng Pathiana ahi.

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

²³A vekin noua ahi vek hi; noumau leng Krisa na hi ua; Kris leng Pathiana ahi.
