¹¶ Ka kaha ranei tetahi o koutou, mehemea he tautohe tana ki tona hoa, ki te haere ki te whakawa i te aroaro o te hunga he, a kauaka ki te aroaro o te hunga tapu?

¹Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

²Kahore oti koutou i matau ma te hunga tapu e whakawa te ao? ki te riro ma koutou e whakawa te ao, e kore ranei koutou e tau hei whakarite i nga mea iti rawa?

²have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments?

³Kahore koutou i matau ko tatou hei whakawa mo nga anahera? kauaka oti nga mea o tenei ao?

³have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life?

⁴Na, ki te mea he whakawa a koutou ki nga mea o tenei ao, whakanohoia ai ranei e koutou ko te hunga iti o te hahi hei whakarite?

⁴of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly — these cause ye to sit;

⁵I korero atu ai ahau i tenei kia whakama ai koutou. Koia ranei, kahore rawa e kitea kia kotahi he tangata whakaaro i roto i a koutou, hei whakarite ina whakawa ona teina i a raua?

⁵unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren!

⁶kei te whakawa ia te tuakana i te teina, a i te aroaro rawa o te hunga whakaponokore?

⁶but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this before unbelievers!

⁷Ehara, kua waiho ke tena hei he i roto i a koutou, ta koutou whakawa tetahi i tetahi. he aha te whakaririka kau ai ina ahatia koutou? he aha te tangohia noatia atu ai a koutou mea?

⁷Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that ye have judgments with one another; wherefore do ye not rather suffer injustice? wherefore be ye not rather defrauded?

⁸Ehara, ko koutou tonu kei te mahi i te he, a kei te tango pokanoa, ko o koutou teina ano te meatanga.

⁸but ye — ye do injustice, and ye defraud, and these — brethren!

⁹¶ Tena ranei kahore koutou i te matau, e kore te hunga whakahere he e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua? Kei tinihangatia koutou; e kore te hunga moepuku, te hunga karakia whakapakoko ranei, te hunga puremu, te hunga whakawahine, te hunga ranei e mea ana i te tane hei wahine,

⁹have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

¹⁰Nga tangata tahae, nga tangata apo, nga haurangi, te hunga taunu, te hunga hao taonga ranei, e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

¹⁰nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.

¹¹He pera hoki etahi o koutou i mua; otira kua horoia koutou, kua whakatapua, kua whakatikaia i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, he meatanga na te Wairua o to tatou Atua.

¹¹And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹²¶ He tika nga mea katoa maku, otira e kore e pai katoa. he tika nga mea katoa maku, otira e kore ahau e pai ki tetahi mea hei rangatira moku.

¹²All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I — I will not be under authority by any;

¹³Ko nga kai mo te kopu, ko te kopu mo nga kai: heoi ka ngaro tenei i te Atua me era hoki. Ehara hoki te tinana i te mea mo te moepuku, engari ma te Ariki, ko te Ariki hoki hei Ariki mo te tinana:

¹³the meats [are] for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body [is] not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

¹⁴A na te Atua i ara ai te Ariki, waihoki mana tatou ka ara ai, ma tona kaha.

¹⁴and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power.

¹⁵Kahore oti koutou i matau, he wahi o koutou tinana no te Karaiti? me tango koia e ahau nga wahi o te Karaiti, a ka mea i a ratou hei wahi mo te wahine kairau? Kahore rapea!

¹⁵Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make [them] members of an harlot? let it be not!

¹⁶A kahore ranei koutou i matau, ko te tangata e honoa ki te wahine kairau he tinana kotahi? e ki ana hoki ia, Hei kikokiko kotahi raua tokorua.

¹⁶have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? `for they shall be — saith He — the two for one flesh.`

¹⁷Otiia ko te tangata e honoa ki te Ariki, kotahi tonu te wairua.

¹⁷And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit;

¹⁸Rere atu ra i te moepuku. No waho o te tinana nga hara katoa e hara ai te tangata; ko te tangata ia e moepuku ana, e hara ana ia ki tona ake tinana.

¹⁸flee the whoredom; every sin — whatever a man may commit — is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body doth sin.

¹⁹A kahore ranei koutou i matau, he whare tapu to koutou tinana no te Wairua Tapu i roto na i a koutou, i homai nei e te Atua? e ehara i te mea no koutou ake koutou;

¹⁹Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own,

²⁰Kua oti hoki koutou te hoko ki te utu: whakakororiatia te Atua ki o koutou tinana.

²⁰for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God`s.
