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?

²Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

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

³Don’t you know that we will 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, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?

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. Isn’t there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?

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

⁶But brother goes 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?

⁷Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

⁸Asi imwi munotadza nekubiridzira, izvozvi munozviita kuhama.

⁸No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that against your brothers.

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

⁹Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

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

¹⁰nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will 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.

¹¹Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified 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.

¹²“All 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 anything.

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

¹³“Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

¹⁴Uye Mwari wakamutsa Ishe uye uchatimutsa isu nesimba rake.

¹⁴Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

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

¹⁵Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

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

¹⁶Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two,” says he, “will become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24

¹⁷Asi wakabatanidzwa naIshe, wava mweya umwe naye.

¹⁷But 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 sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

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

¹⁹Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

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

²⁰for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
