¹Ka mina, vennad, ei võinud rääkida teile kui vaimsetele, vaid pidin rääkima kui lihalikele, nagu väetitele lastele Kristuses.

¹Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

²Ma jootsin teile piima ega andnud tahket rooga, sest seda te ei oleks veel talunud. Kuid ega te nüüdki veel talu,

²I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,

³sest et olete ju alles lihalikud. Kui teie seas on kiivust ja riidu - eks te siis ole lihalikud ja eks te käitu inimlikult?

³for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?

⁴Sest kui üks ütleb: 'Mina olen Pauluse poolel!', teine aga: 'Mina Apollose!' - eks te siis ole nagu inimesed ikka?

⁴For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?

⁵Mis on siis Apollos? Mis on Paulus? Teenrid, kelle kaudu te olete saanud usklikuks, nõnda nagu Issand igaühele on andnud.

⁵Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?

⁶Mina istutasin, Apollos kastis, kuid Jumal laskis kasvada.

⁶I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

⁷Nõnda siis ei ole midagi see, kes istutab, ega see, kes kastab, vaid Jumal, kes kasvatab.

⁷So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

⁸Istutaja ja kastja teevad sama tööd, aga kumbki saab oma palga vastavalt oma vaevanägemisele.

⁸Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

⁹Sest Jumala kaastöölised oleme meie; Jumala põllumaa, Jumala hoone olete teie.

⁹For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.

¹⁰Mulle antud Jumala armu järgi olen ma kui tark hooneehitaja rajanud aluse, aga teine ehitab sellele. Igaüks vaadaku siis, kuidas ta ehitab!

¹⁰According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

¹¹Jah, teist alust ei saa keegi rajada selle kõrvale, mis on juba olemas - see on Jeesus Kristus.

¹¹For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

¹²Kas keegi ehitab sellele alusele hoone kullast, hõbedast, kalliskividest, puudest, heintest või õlgedest -

¹²But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;

¹³kord saab igaühe töö avalikuks. Issanda päev teeb selle teatavaks, sest see ilmub tules, ja tuli katsub läbi igaühe töö, missugune see on.

¹³each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

¹⁴Kui kellegi töö, mis ta on ehitanud, jääb püsima, siis ta saab palga.

¹⁴If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

¹⁵Kui kellegi töö põleb ära, siis ta saab kahju, aga ta ise päästetakse otsekui läbi tule.

¹⁵If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

¹⁶Eks te tea, et te olete Jumala tempel ja teie sees elab Jumala Vaim?

¹⁶Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

¹⁷Kui keegi rikub Jumala templi, siis Jumal rikub ka tema, sest Jumala tempel on püha, ja see olete teie.

¹⁷If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.

¹⁸Ärgu ükski petku ennast! Kes teie seas tundub endale targana selles maailmas, see saagu narriks, et ta saaks targaks!

¹⁸Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

¹⁹Jumala juures on ju praeguse maailma tarkus narrus, sest on kirjutatud: 'Tema tabab targad nende riugastelt.'

¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.” Job 5:13

²⁰Ja taas: 'Issand tunneb ära tarkade arutlused, et need on tühised.'

²⁰And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.” Psalm 94:11

²¹Nõnda ärgu siis ükski kiidelgu inimestest, sest teie päralt on kõik:

²¹Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

²²olgu Paulus, olgu Apollos, olgu Keefas, olgu maailm, olgu elu, olgu surm, olgu käesolev, olgu tulev - kõik on teie päralt,

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

²³teie olete aga Kristuse päralt ja Kristus on Jumala päralt.

²³and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
