¹Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,

¹¶ Na Paora, i pai nei te Atua kia karangatia hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, na te teina hoki, na Hotene,

²to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:

²Ki te hahi a te Atua i Koriniti, ki te hunga kua oti te whakatapu i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kua karangatia hei hunga tapu, ratou ko te hunga katoa i nga wahi katoa e karanga ana ki te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, o to ratou Ariki, o to ta tou:

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

³Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.

⁴I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;

⁴He whakawhetai tonu taku mahi ki toku Atua mo koutou, mo te aroha noa o te Atua kua homai nei ki a koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu;

⁵that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,

⁵Kua meinga hoki kia hua nga mea katoa ma koutou i roto i a ia, te whakapuaki korero, te matauranga;

⁶(according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you,)

⁶Pena hoki me te whakaaturanga i a te Karaiti kua u na i roto i a koutou:

⁷so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁷I kore ai koutou e hapa i tetahi mea homai; i a koutou e tatari na ki te whakakitenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti:

⁸who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸Mana hoki koutou e whakau a taea noatia te mutunga, kia kore ai koutou e ekengia e te kupu i te ra o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

⁹God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁹He pono te Atua, nana nei koutou i karanga kia uru tahi ki tana Tama, ko Ihu Karaiti, ki to tatou Ariki.

¹⁰Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion.

¹⁰¶ Na, he tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, i runga i te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, kia kotahi ta koutou korero katoa, a kia kaua he wehewehenga i roto i a koutou; engari kia tuituia koutou i runga i te ngakau kotahi, i te whaka aro kotahi.

¹¹For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you.

¹¹Kua oti hoki koutou te tohutohu mai, e oku teina, e te hunga o te whare o Koroi, tena nga tautohetohe kei roto i a koutou.

¹²But I speak of this, that each of you says, *I* am of Paul, and *I* of Apollos, and *I* of Cephas, and *I* of Christ.

¹²Anei te tikanga o taku korero, kei te ki tena o koutou na, No Paora ahau; a, No Aporo ahau; a, Ko ahau no Kipa; Ko ahau no te Karaiti.

¹³Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?

¹³Kua oti koia a te Karaiti te wahi? i ripekatia ranei a Paora mo koutou? i iriiria ranei koutou i runga i te ingoa o Paora?

¹⁴I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,

¹⁴¶ E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, moku kihai i iriiri i tetahi o koutou, ko Kirihipu anake raua ko Kaiu;

¹⁵that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.

¹⁵Kei waiho e te tangata hei korero, naku koutou i iriiri i runga i toku ingoa.

¹⁶Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.

¹⁶Naku ano i iriiri nga tangata o te whare o Tepana: i ko ake, kahore ahau i te mahara ki taku iriiringa i tetahi atu.

¹⁷For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.

¹⁷¶ Kihai hoki ahau i tonoa e te Karaiti ki te iriiri, engari ki te kauwhau i te rongopai: ehara i te mea i runga i te mohio ki nga kupu, kei whakakahoretia te ripeka o te Karaiti.

¹⁸For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.

¹⁸Ko te korero hoki o te ripeka ki te hunga e whakangaromia ana he mea wawau; ki a tatou ia, ki te hunga e whakaorangia ana, ko te kaha tera o te Atua.

¹⁹For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.

¹⁹Ka oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka ngaro i ahau te whakaaro nui o te hunga whakaaro, ka kore hoki i ahau te mahara o te hunga mahara.

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

²⁰Kei hea te tangata whakaaro? kei hea te karaipi? kei hea te tangata tohe o tenei ao? kahore ano koia i whakakuwaretia e te Atua te whakaaro nui o tenei ao?

²¹For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.

²¹I te mea hoki i runga i to te Atua whakaaro nui, kihai nga whakaaro nui o te ao i mohio ki te Atua, na ka pai te Atua kia meinga te kuware o te kupu kauwhau hei whakaora i te hunga e whakapono ana.

²²Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;

²²Ina hoki ko ta nga Hurai he tono tohu, ko ta nga Kariki he rapu whakaaro nui:

²³but *we* preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;

²³Ko ta matou ia he kauwhau i a te Karaiti i ripekatia he tutukitanga waewae ki nga Hurai, he mea kuware ki nga Kariki;

²⁴but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.

²⁴Ki te hunga ia e karangatia ana, ahakoa Hurai, ahakoa Kariki, ko te Karaiti, ko te kaha o te Atua, ko te whakaaro mohio o te Atua.

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

²⁵No te mea he kuware no te Atua nui atu te mohio i nga tangata; he ngoikore no te Atua kaha atu i nga tangata.

²⁶For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.

²⁶Titiro oti ki to koutou karangatanga, e oku teina, kihai i tokomaha te hunga whakaaro o te wahi ki te kikokiko, kihai i tokomaha te hunga nunui, kihai i tokomaha nga rangatira, e karangatia ana:

²⁷But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;

²⁷Engari i whiriwhiria e te Atua ko nga mea kuware o te ao, hei mea e whakama ai te hunga whakaaro; i whiriwhiria ano e te Atua ko nga mea ngoikore o te ao, hei mea e whakama ai nga mea kaha.

²⁸and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;

²⁸Ko nga mea ware o te ao, ko nga mea e whakahaweatia ana, ko ena i whiriwhiria e te Atua, ae, ko nga mea kahore noa iho, kia whakakahoretia ai e ia nga tino mea ake;

²⁹so that no flesh should boast before God.

²⁹Kia kore ai tetahi kikokiko e whakamanamana i te aroaro o te Atua.

³⁰But of him are *ye* in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;

³⁰Nana hoki koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kua meinga nei ia hei take whakaaro nui mo tatou, he mea na te Atua, hei tika, hei whakatapu, hei hoko:

³¹that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.

³¹Kia rite ai ki te mea kua oti te tuhituhi, Ki te whakamanamana tetahi, me whakamanamana ia ki te Ariki.
