¹Tudi jaz, bratje, nisem mogel govoriti vam kakor duhovnim, temuč kakor mesenim, kakor nedoraslim v Kristusu.

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

²Mleka sem vam dal piti, ne jedi, kajti niste je še zmogli; pa tudi še sedaj je ne zmorete,

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

³ker ste še meseni. Kajti kjer je med vami zavist in prepir, niste li meseni in ne postopate li po človeški?

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?

⁴Če namreč kdo pravi: ‚Jaz sem Pavlov‘, a drugi: ‚Jaz sem Apolov‘, niste li meseni ljudje?

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

⁵Kaj je torej Apolo? in kaj je Pavel? Služabnika sta, po katerih ste vero sprejeli, in to, kakor je Gospod vsakteremu dal:

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

⁶jaz sem sadil, Apolo je zalil, ali Bog je dal, da je zraslo.

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

⁷Tako ni ne tisti kaj, kateri sadi, ne, kateri zaliva, temuč ki daje rasti, Bog.

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

⁸Ta pa, ki sadi in ki zaliva, sta eno; vsak pa prejme svoje plačilo po lastnem trudu.

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

⁹Božji namreč smo sodelavci; Božja njiva, Božje poslopje ste vi.

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

¹⁰Po milosti Božji, ki mi je dana, sem položil kakor modri zidar temelj, a drug nanj zida; ali vsak naj gleda, kako nanj zida.

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.

¹¹Kajti drugega temelja ne more nihče položiti razen tega, ki je položen, ki je Jezus Kristus.

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

¹²Če pa kdo zida na ta temelj zlato, srebro, drago kamenje, drva, seno, strn:

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

¹³vsakega delo postane očitno; kajti dan ga razodene, ker se v ognju odkrije, in ogenj preizkusi delo vsakega, kakšno je.

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.

¹⁴Če ostane komu delo, katero je postavil na njem, prejme plačilo;

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

¹⁵če komu delo zgori, prejme škodo, sam pa bo zveličan, ali tako, kakor po ognju.

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

¹⁶Ne veste, da ste tempelj Božji in da Duh Božji prebiva v vas?

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

¹⁷Če kdo pokvari tempelj Božji, tega pogubi Bog; zakaj tempelj Božji je svet, kateri ste vi.

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

¹⁸Nihče naj sebe ne slepi! Če kdo misli, da je moder med vami na tem svetu, naj postane neumen, da postane moder.

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.

¹⁹Kajti modrost tega sveta je neumnost pri Bogu. Pisano je namreč: „On zasačuje modre v njih lastni zvijači“;

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

²⁰in zopet: „Gospod pozna misli modrih, da so prazne“.

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

²¹Tako naj se nihče ne hvali z ljudmi. Kajti vse je vaše,

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

²²bodi si Pavel ali Apolo ali Kefa, bodisi svet ali življenje ali smrt, bodisi sedanje ali bodoče: vse je vaše,vi pa ste Kristusovi, a Kristus Božji.

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

²³vi pa ste Kristusovi, a Kristus Božji.

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