1Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
1Na lak uah kuapeuhin midang toh thubuai neita le uchin, mi siangthoute maa tun louin, mi diktatloute maah na tun ngam ding ua hia?
2Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
2Ahihleh, misiangthouten khovel a vaihawm ding uh chih na thei ua hia? Huan, khovel bawn na vaihawm ding u leh, thil neupente leng ngaihtuah dia kilawmlou na hi ua hia?
3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?
3Tulai damsung thute gen louh, angelte nangawn i vaihawm ding uh chih na theikei ua hia?
4If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church?
4Hichiin, tulai damsung thute ngaihtuah ding na neih un bangdia saptuamte ngaihsanglouhpente ngaihtuah sak nahi ua?
5I say [this] to move you to shame. What, cannot there be [found] among you one wise man who shall be able to decide between his brethren,
5Na zumna ding un ka gen ahi, A unaute kala thu hihpuk thei mi pil, khat bek na lak uah na mu kei ua a ding maw?
6but brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
6Unau in a unau vaihawmna a tut jawk nak, ginglou maah a hih behlap toh?
7Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?
7Hilou, hiai na kizen zoh louhna khat uh ahi pah hi, thubuai na kineih tuah nak uh. Bang dia diklou pia hihna nathuak zo lou? Bang achia kijang sak zo mailou oi?
8Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.
8Hilou, noumau ngeiin na unaute uh tungah leng na hih dik kei ua, na jang sak nak uhi.
9Or know 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 men,
9Ahihleh, mi diktatlouten Pathian Gam a luah kei ding uh chih na theikei ua hia? Khemin om kei un, kingaihhatte hiam, milim bete hiam, angkawmte hiam, mi hukte hiam, tohukte hiam,
10nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
10Gutate hiam, mihuaihamte hiam, zukhamhatte hiam, salhhatte hiam, lepgute hiamin Pathian Gam a luah kei ding uh.
11And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.
11Huan, noute khenkhat huchi bang na hi uhi; himahleh, Toupa Jesu Kris min ah leh i Pathian Kha ah siansak na hita ua, hihsiangthou na hita uh, siamtang na hita uhi.
12All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.
12Thil bangkim hih kei dingin a sianga, himahleh thil bangkim hih a hoih kim khol kei; thil bangkim hih kei ding in a sianga, himahleh bangmah sikha din ka kiphal kei hi.
13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:
13Nek dingte khawng gila ahi a, gil khawng leng nek dinga ahi; himahleh Pathianin ahihmang tuaktuak ding. Huan, pumpi pen kingaihna ding ahi keia. Toupa ading ahijaw hi; Toupa leng pumpi ading ahi hi:
14and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up as through his power.
14Huan, Pathianin Toupa a kaithoua, eite leng a thilhihtheihnain a honkaithou sam ding hi.
15Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid.
15Na pumpi uh Kris hiangte ahi chih na theikei ua hia? Kris hiangte laksakin kijuak hiang ding peuhin ka bawl dia hia leh?
16Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh.
16Bawl lou hial ding. A hihleh, kijuak zop pen, amah toh pumkhat ahi uh chih na theikei ua hia? A nih un sa pumkhat a hong hita ding uh, a chi ngala.
17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
17Toupa zop bel amah toh kha pumkhat ahi uhi.
18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
18Kingaih taisan un. Mihing thil hihkhelh chiteng pumpi po lamah ahi; mingaihhat inbel amah pumpi tungah thil a hihkhial ahi.
19Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own;
19Ahihleh, na pumpi uh, na sung ua om Pathian kianga kipana na muh uh, Kha Siangthou temple ahi chih na theikei ua hia? Noumaua leng na hi kei ua, mana leisa na hita uh.Huaijiakin, na pumpi un Pathian pahtawi un.
20for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body.
20Huaijiakin, na pumpi un Pathian pahtawi un.
