¹Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

¹Te si tume kris mashkar tumende, na kerel la mashkar le manush kai nai chache.

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?

²Chi zhanen ke tume si te keren e kris pe lumia? Ai ke pa tume si te keren e kris la lumiake, chi san kasave bi lashe te keren kris?

³Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

³Chi zhanen ke vi pa le angeluria si te keras kris? Ai mai but si te keras kris pel dieluria kadale traioske?

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?

⁴Kana si tume vari so kai nai mishto mashkar tumende pe kado traio, ai kai san le manush la khangeriake na vi le manushen te keren tumenge kodia kris.

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?

⁵Phenav tumaro lazharial. Si mashkar tumende iek manush kai nai gojaver te phenel kadala divanuria mashkar le phral?

⁶But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!

⁶Te phral kerela kris pe aver phral, ai kodia anglal manush kai chi pachanpe ando Del.

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?

⁷Vunzhe bari dosh si tume, ke si tume mashkar iek kavreste. Sostar chi rhevdin mai binen te keren tumenge slabar?

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

⁸Numa tume keren so nai vorta. Tume len katar le manush, ai kana xasar len, xasar che phral.

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,

⁹Kana keren kadia chi zhanen kai won nai vorta angla Del, chi zhana ando rhaio le Devlesko. Na shubin tume; kodola kai keren zhungalimata, vai kodola kai keren marimenen, vai kodola kai keren kurvimos, vai kodola kai rhuginpe kal ikoni,

¹⁰nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.

¹⁰vai kodola kai choren, vai kodola kai mangen mai but sar trobul le, vai kodola kai si macharne, vai kodola kai keren pupuimos, vai le chor, chi zhana ando rhaio le Devlesko.

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.

¹¹Uni anda tumende kerdia kodia, numa xalade sanas katar che bezex, chistime sanas, vuzharde sanas ando anav le Devlesko O Jesus, ando O Duxo amare Devlesko.

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.

¹²Swako fielo slobodo mange, numa swako fielo chi trobul: swako fielo sai kerav, numa chi mekav vari so te kerel mandar ek sluga,

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.

¹³numa chi mangav te kerav vari so pala o xaben kai zhal ando ji, ai o ji si le xabeneske, numa O Del phagela iekes ai le kolaver. O stato nai kerdo te kerel o zhungalimos, o stato si le Devlesko; ai O Del si le statosko.

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

¹⁴O Del kai zhuvindisardia amare Devles, zhuvindila vi amende peski putiera.

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!

¹⁵Chi zhanen ke tumaro stato si le kotora le Kristosko? Si te lav ek kotor le Kristosko te ningerav les kal rhas. Nichi!

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

¹⁶Vov si! Dur kotsar! Chi zhanen! Ke kodo kai tholpe le punrhensa kerdiol iek stato rhas? Ke phendo, le dui kerdionas iek stato.

¹⁷But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

¹⁷Numa kodo kai astardiol ka Del wo si les iek duxo.

¹⁸Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

¹⁸Duriol katar e kurvia. Le kaver bezexa kai kerel le manush avri si anda stato; numa kodo kai kerel e kurvia kerel bezex pe pesko korkorho stato.

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,

¹⁹Chi zhanen tume! Ke tumaro stato si e khangeri le Swuntone Duxoski kai si ande tumende, kai lia les katar O Del, ai kai chi mai san tumare korkorho?

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

²⁰Ke chinde sanas pel baro pretso: luvudis le Devles ande tumaro stato, ai ande tumaro duxo, kai si le Devlesko.
