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

¹Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law 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?

²Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

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

³Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?

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

⁴If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church?

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

⁵I say [this] to move you to shame. What, cannot there be [found] among you one wise man who shall be able to decide between his brethren,

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

⁶but brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

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

⁷Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?

⁸Asi imwi munotadza nekubiridzira, izvozvi munozviita kuhama.

⁸Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.

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

⁹Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men,

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

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

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

¹¹And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, 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 for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.

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

¹³Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

¹⁴Uye Mwari wakamutsa Ishe uye uchatimutsa isu nesimba rake.

¹⁴and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up as through his power.

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

¹⁵Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid.

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

¹⁶Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh.

¹⁷Asi wakabatanidzwa naIshe, wava mweya umwe naye.

¹⁷But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

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

¹⁸Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

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

¹⁹Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is 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 God therefore in your body.
