1 Koga imi, makamu angu, ndakandisingatubule kuti ndilebeleke namwi sebanhu bemeya, koga sebanhu benyama, sebana batjetjana muna Khirisitu. 2 Ndakamupa nkaka, kusi zodliwa zwakasima; ngobe maka musanhu malulamila kuzwiwamutjila; nayiko nanasi amunhu mazwilulamila, 3 ngobe mutjibanhu benyama. Ngobe hapa kutjina fupa nekakabadzana pakati kwenyu, amute banhu benyama kene, amutozwibhata sebanhu bemahhuba ose? 4 Ngobe hapa umwe eti, "Imi ndiwa Phawuli," umwe eti, "Imi ndiwa Apholosi," amute banhu koga kene?

5 Apholosi ini ngono? Phawuli ini? Balanda bamakagalamoyo nentha yabo, sewumwe newumwe kwaakatumwa kuti ahinge naHe. 6 Ndakadzwala, Apholosi akadilidzila, koga Ndzimu wakakulisa. 7 Ndizo unodzwala kene unodilidzila haate tjimwe, koga Ndzimu yega ndiye unokulisa. 8 Unodzwala newunodilidzila bakalizana, umwe newumwe unowamutjila mbhayilo uwe kuyendilana nehinga kukwe. 9 Ngobe iswi tibahingi beNdzimu.

Imwi muminda yeNdzimu, mutjibakwa tjeNdzimu.

10 Kuyendilana nengoni dzeNdzimu dzandakapiwa, ndakateya mbviwa sembaki unabunyambi, kakale umwe nhu unobaka pehhugwi kwadzo. Nhu umwe newumwe ngaayele njele kuti unobaka tjini pehhugwi kwadzo. 11 Ngobe akuna dzimwe mbviwa dzingateyiwa kuhhe kwedzakateyiwa kale, dzinobe dzili Yesu Khirisitu. 12 Sangwenu hapa umwe ebaka pehhugwi kwembviwa nezeezi, siliva, mabgwe anantengo upehhugwi, whuni, buhwa, kene mahanga. 13 n'hingo wewumwe newumwe unowhobe patjena; ngobe Hhuba ilelo lowhowunsa patjena, ngobe kowhozumbunugwa ngemoto, kakale moto unowholika n'hingo wakatiwa newumwe newumwe. 14 Hapa n'hingo wabakiwa nenhu pehhugwi kwembviwa ukasala ulimile, iwhoyo nhu unowhowamutjila mbhayilo. 15 Hapa n'hingo wenhu ungatshwa, unowholahikigwa, nekutobe iye tjekukwe ewhotjidziwa, koga kunga kunoyi wabhugwa mumoto.

16 Amutoziba kuti imwi muthempeli yeNdzimu nekuti Meya yeNdzimu inogala mumuli? 17 Hapa kene yani zwe epaladza thempeli yeNdzimu, Ndzimu unowhowumpaladza. Nekuti thempeli yeNdzimu yakayengemala, ndimwi thempeli iyeyo.

18 Kusibe newunozwitjengela. Hapa kuna umwe wenyu unokumbula kuti wakatjenjela muhango ino, ngaabe tjilengwe kuyetila kuti abe ntjenjebvu. 19 Ngobe butjenjebvu gwehango iyeyi bulengwe kuNdzimu. Selukwalo guti, "Unobhata bakatjenjela mubupitipiti gwabo," 20 kakale goti, "He unoziba kuti mikumbulo yebakatjenjela ayita tjimwe." 21 Ndizo ngakusibe newunozwiloba fuba nekwebanhu. Ngobe zwinhu zose ndezwenyu, 22 kungabe Phawuli kene Apholosi kene Khefasi* kene hango kene butjilo kene lufu kene iko ngwenuwali kene lubaka gunohha, kose ndekwenyu; 23 imwi muba Khirisitu; Khirisitu ali weNdzimu.
