¹Kune mumwe wenyu here unoti anemhosva neumwe ungatsunga kumumhan'arira kuna vasakarurama, akasamumhan'arira kuvatsvene?

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

²Hamuzivi here kuti vatsvene vachatonga nyika? Zvino kana nyika ichizotongwa nemwi, Hamuna kufanira kutonga mhosva duku-duku here?

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?

³Hamuzivi here kuti tichatonga vatumwa? Zvikuru sei zveupenyu hwuno?

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

⁴Zvino kana mune mhosva dzezvinhu zveupenyu hwuno mudziise kuti vatonge avo vanozvidzwa pakereke.

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

⁵Ndinotaura kuti munyare. Ndizvo here kuti hakuna munhu wakachenjera pakati penyu, kana neumwe, ungagona kutonga pakati pehama nehama dzake?

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!

⁶Asi hama inomhan'arira hama, uye izvi achizviita pamberi pevasingatendi.

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

⁷Zvino naizvozvo patova nemhosva kwazvo pakati penyu, kuti munomhan'arirana. Munoregerei kutenda kukanganisirwa pakudaro? Munoregereiko kutenda kubiridzirwa pakudaro?

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?

⁸Asi imwi munotadza nekubiridzira, izvozvi munozviita kuhama.

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

⁹Ko hamuzivi here kuti vasakarurama havangagari nhaka yeushe hwaMwari? Musatsauswa; hakuna mhombwe, kana vanamati vezvifananidzo, kana zvifeve, kana mbodza, kana vanorara navamwe varume,

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,

¹⁰kana mbavha, kana vachivi, kana zvidhakwa, kana vanyombi, kana makororo, vachagara nhaka yeushe hwaMwari.

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

¹¹vamwe venyu vakange vakaita seizvozvo; asi imwi makashambidzwa, asi makaitwa vatsvene, asi makaruramiswa muzita raIshe Jesu, uye neMweya waMwari wedu.

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.

¹²Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa kwandiri; asi zvinhu zvose hazvibatsiri. Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa kwandiri asi handitongwi nechinhu.

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;

¹³chikafu ndechedumbu, nedumbu nderechikafu; asi Mwari uchaparadza zviri zviviri iro naizvo. Zvino muviri hausi weupomhwe, asi waIshe, naIshe vemuviri;

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;

¹⁴Uye Mwari wakamutsa Ishe uye uchatimutsa isu nesimba rake.

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

¹⁵Hamuzivi here kuti miviri yenyu mitezo yaKristu? Zvino ndichatora mitezo yaKristu ndikaita mitezo yechifeve here? Ngazvisadaro!

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!

¹⁶Ko hamuzivi kuti wakabatanidzwa nechifeve wava muviri umwe nacho here? Nekuti ava vaviri, unoti, vachava nyama imwe.

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.`

¹⁷Asi wakabatanidzwa naIshe, wava mweya umwe naye.

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

¹⁸Tizai upombwe. Chivi chose munhu chaanoita chiri kunze kwemuviri; asi unoita upomhwe unotadzira muviri wake amene.

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.

¹⁹Ko hamuzivi here kuti muviri wenyu itembere yaMweya Mutsvene, uri mamuri, wamunawo uchibva kuna Mwari, uye imwi hamuzi venyu?

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,

²⁰Nekuti makatengwa nemutengo; naizvozvo rumbidzai Mwari mumuviri wenyu uye mumweya wenyu iri yaMwari.

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