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

¹Ex inhermân, nak cuanquin êriq'uin inc'a' quiru quinâtinac êriq'uin jo' ninâtinac riq'uineb li ac cauheb xch'ôl sa' lix pâbâleb. Lâex chanchan mâc'a' li Santil Musik'ej êriq'uin. Jo'can nak ninâtinac êriq'uin jo' nak ninâtinac riq'uineb li toj k'un xch'ôleb sa' lix pâbâleb.

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

²Li xyâlal xinch'olob chêru chanchan nak leche xinq'ue cheruc'. Moco cacuil tzacaêmk ta xinq'ue êre xban nak lâex toj mâji' nequexq'ui. Naraj naxye nak toj mâji' ninch'olob chêru li na'leb li ch'a'aj xtaubal ru xban nak toj mâji' nequexq'ui sa' lê pâbâl ut mâmin têtau ru.

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?

³Inc'a' texrûk xtaubal ru anakcuan xban nak toj nequebânu li c'a'ru naxrahi ru lê ch'ôl. Nak toj cuan li cakalînc ib ut li cuech'înc ib sa' êyânk, ¿ma inc'a' ta bi' yôquex chi xbânunquil li c'a'ru naxrahi ru lê ch'ôl? Ut lâex nequejuntak'êta êrib riq'uineb li toj mâc'a' li Santil Musik'ej riq'uineb.

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

⁴Lâex toj mâji' junaj lê ch'ôl. Cuan li neque'xye, "lâin nintâke laj Pablo". Ut cuan cui'chic li neque'xye, "lâin nintâke laj Apolos". Cui jo'can yôquex chixyebal, ¿ma inc'a' ta bi' toj yôquex chixjuntak'êtanquil êrib riq'uineb li toj mâji' neque'pâban?

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

⁵¿Ani ta bi' laj Apolos? Ut, ¿anihin ta bi' lâin? Lâo yal aj c'anjelo chiru li Kâcua'. Xkach'olob xyâlal chêru nak xepâb li Kâcua'. Ut chi kacabichalo nococ'anjelac jo' taklanbilo cui' xban li Kâcua'.

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

⁶Chanchano aj acuinel nak nococ'anjelac chiru li Dios. Chanchan âuc xinbânu nak xinye resil li colba-ib êre. Ut chanchan t'akresînc quixbânu laj Apolos nak quixch'olob lix yâlal chêru. Abanan a' li Dios quiq'uehoc lix mokic.

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

⁷Jo'can nak chi moco laj acuinel chi moco laj t'akresinel cuan xcuanquil. Ca'aj cui' li Dios li naq'uehoc xmokic cuan xcuanquil.

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

⁸Laj acuinel ut laj t'akresinel juntak'êteb xcuanquil chiru li Dios ut chi xjûnkaleb te'xc'ul xk'ajcâmunquil a' yâl chanru lix c'anjeleb.

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

⁹Lâo kech aj c'anjelil kib chiru li Dios. Ut lâex chanchanex li ch'och' li nakac'anjela ru. Ut li Dios a'an laj êchal re li ch'och'. Ut chanchanex ajcui' jun li cab yôco chixyîbanquil ut li Dios, a'an laj êchal re li cab a'an.

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.

¹⁰Xban nak sic'bil cuu xban li Dios chi c'anjelac chiru jo' jun aj tz'ac châbil, jo'can nak xinnau xjolominquil li c'anjel. Chanchan nak xinyîb xcimiento li cab nak xinye resil li colba-ib ut jalan chic te'cablak sa' xbên nak te'xch'olob lix yâlal chêru. Ut li junjûnk chixq'uehak retal nak tz'akal re ru lix c'anjel tixbânu.

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

¹¹Tixq'ue retal chanru lix c'anjel xban nak ac q'uebil lix cimiento li cab. Ut mâ ani naru tixq'ue junak chic li cimiento chiru li ac q'uebil. Ut a'an li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

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

¹²Cuan li te'cablak sa' xbên li cimiento a'an riq'uin li c'a'ak re ru najt naxcuy jo' li oro, li plata ut li tertôquil pec. Ut cuan li te'cablak sa' xbên riq'uin li inc'a' naxcuy jo' li che', li cûc ut li q'uim. Lix yâlal a'an, a'in: nak cuan li te'c'anjelak chi châbil chiru li Dios ut cuan inc'a'.

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.

¹³Lix c'anjel li junjûnk tâc'utûnk nak tol-êlk cui'chic li Kâcua' Jesucristo chi rakoc âtin. Chanchan nak tânumsîk sa' xam lix c'anjel naxbânu re rilbal ma tâosok' malaj inc'a'.

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

¹⁴Cui lix c'anjel inc'a' tâsachek', nac'utun nak us lix c'anjel ut li jun a'an tixc'ul lix k'ajcâmunquil.

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

¹⁵Cui ut lix c'anjel junak inc'a' tz'akal re ru, lix c'anjel tâsachk chanchan c'atbil nak tâosok'. Ut li jun a'an tâcolek', abanan chanchan tânumek' sa' xam nak tâcolek'.

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

¹⁶¿Ma inc'a' ta bi' nequenau nak lâex rochochex li Dios? ¿Ma inc'a' ta bi' nequenau nak li Santil Musik'ej cuan êriq'uin?

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

¹⁷Li rochoch li Dios a'an santo. Cui ani naxtiquib li jachoc ib sa' êyânk, li jun a'an yô chixjuc'bal rochoch li Dios xban nak lâex aj pâbanel rochochex chic li Dios. Ut li Dios tixsach li ani naxtiquib xjachbal ruheb laj pâbanel.

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.

¹⁸Mâ ani taxak tixbalak'i rib xjunes. Cui cuan junak sa' êyânk narec'a nak cuan xna'leb sa' li ruchich'och' a'in, chixcubsihak rib ut tixbânu jo' li mâc'a' naxnau re nak tixtau xna'leb chi tz'akal.

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

¹⁹Lix na'leb li ruchich'och', a'an tôntil na'leb chiru li Dios. Jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Li Dios naxcanabeb chixsachbaleb rib xban lix sêbaleb xch'ôl li ani neque'rec'a nak cuanqueb xna'leb xjuneseb rib. (Job 5:13)

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

²⁰Ut tz'îbanbil ajcui' sa' li Santil Hu li naxye: Li Dios naxnau nak mâc'a' na-oc cui' lix c'a'uxeb li neque'xye nak cuanqueb xna'leb xjuneseb rib. (Sal. 94:11)

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

²¹Jo'can nak mâ ani tixnimobresi ru junak cuînk riq'uin li c'a'ru naxbânu xban nak chixjunil li c'a'ak re ru q'uebil êre xban li Dios re nak tâc'anjelak chêru.

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

²²Usta laj Apolos, usta lâin, usta laj Pedro, lâo yal aj c'anjelo chêru. Usta li ruchich'och', usta li yu'am, usta li câmc, êre ajcui' re nak te'c'anjelak chêru. Chixjunil li cuan anakcuan êre lâex ut êre ajcui' li toj châlel chiku.Chixjunil li c'a'ak re ru, êre lâex. Abanan lâex rehex li Cristo ut li Cristo, a'an re li Dios.

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

²³Chixjunil li c'a'ak re ru, êre lâex. Abanan lâex rehex li Cristo ut li Cristo, a'an re li Dios.
