I Corinthians 3

Na ko ahau, e oku teina, kihai i ahei te korero ki a koutou me taku ki te hunga i te Wairua, engari i te kikokiko, ano ki nga kohungahunga i roto i a te Karaiti.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

He waiu taku i whangai atu na ma koutou, ehara i te kai maro: kiano hoki i taea e koutou te kai maro, a kahore nei ano i taea e koutou inaianei:

I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Kei te kikokiko tonu hoki koutou: i te mea kei a koutou tonu te hae, te totohe, te wehewehe, ehara oti koutou i te hunga i te kikokiko, e haere ana i runga i ta te tangata ritenga?

For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

I tetahi hoki ka ki nei, Ko ahau no Paora; me tetahi atu, Ko ahau no Aporo, ehara oti koutou i te hunga i te kikokiko?

For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

Tena ko wai a Aporo? a ko wai a Paora? He minita i whakapono ai koutou; ki ia tangata i ta te Ariki i homai ai.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

Naku i whakato, na Aporo i whakamakuku; na te Atua ia i mea kia tupu.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Heoi he kore noa iho te kaiwhakato, he kore noa iho te kaiwhakamakuku, engari te Atua nana nei i mea kia tupu.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Na ko te kaiwhakato, ko te kaiwhakamakuku, kotahi tonu raua: otira ka rite ki tana ake mahi te utu e riro mai i tena, i tena o raua.

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

He hoa mahi hoki matou no te Atua: he mara koutou na te Atua, he whare hanga na te Atua.

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

Kei te ritenga o te aroha noa o te Atua i homai nei ki ahau, kua whakatakotoria e ahau te tunga, he pera me ta te tohunga; a ko tetahi atu kei te hanga whare ki runga. Otira kia tupato ia tangata ki tana whare e hanga ai ki runga.

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

E kore hoki tetahi tangata e ahei te whakatakoto i tetahi tunga ke atu i tera kua oti nei te whakatakoto, ara i a Ihu Karaiti.

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Engari ki te hanga tetahi ki runga ki te tunga he koura, he hiriwa, he kohatu utu nui, he rakau, he tarutaru, he otaota;

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

Ka whakakitea te mahi a tetahi, a tetahi: ma te ra hoki e whakaatu, no te mea ka whakakitea e te kapura; a ma te kapura tonu e whakamatautau te mahi a tena, a tena, he pehea tona ahua.

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Ki te mau tonu te mahi a tetahi e hanga ai ki runga, ka riro i a ia he utu.

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

Ki te wera te mahi a tetahi, ka maumauria tana: ko ia ia ka ora; otira me te mea ma roto i te ahi.

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Kahore oti koutou i matau, he whare tapu koutou no te Atua, a kei roto i a koutou te Wairua o te Atua e noho ana?

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Ki te whakangaromia e tetahi te whare tapu o te Atua, ka whakangaromia hoki ia e te Atua; he tapu hoki te whare o te Atua, a ko koutou taua whare.

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Kei hangarau tetahi ki a ia ano. Ki te mea tetahi he tangata mohio ia i roto i a koutou i tenei ao, tukua ia hei kuware kia tupu ai hei tangata whakaaro.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

Ki te Atua hoki he kuware noa nga whakaaro mohio o tenei ao: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka mau i a ia te hunga whakaaro i runga i to ratou tinihanga:

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Me tenei hoki, E matau ana te Ariki ki nga whakaaro o te hunga whakaaro, he tekateka noa.

And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

No reira kei whakamanamana tetahi ki te tangata: no koutou hoki nga mea katoa:

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

Ahakoa a Paora, a Aporo, a Kipa, te ao, te ora, te mate ranei, nga mea onaianei, nga mea ranei e takoto mai nei, no koutou katoa;

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

A ko koutou no te Karaiti, ko te Karaiti no te Atua.

And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
