1 Coríntios 3

1 Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now, 3 for 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? 4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren’t you fleshly?

5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him? 6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.

10 According 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. 11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13 each 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. 14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

16 Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.

18 Let 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. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He has taken the wise in their craftiness."✝3:19 Job 5:13 20 And again, "The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless."✝3:20 Psalms 94:11 21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, 22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours, 23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

He Pononga a te Atua

1 Nā, ko ahau, e ōku tēina, kīhai i āhei te kōrero ki a koutou me tāku ki te hunga i te Wairua, engari, i te kikokiko, ānō ki ngā kōhungahunga i roto i a te Karaiti. 2 He waiū tāku i whāngai atu nā mā koutou, ehara i te kai mārō. Kīanō hoki i taea e koutou te kai mārō, ā, kāhore nei anō i taea e koutou ināianei. 3 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 tā te tangata ritenga? 4 I tētahi hoki ka kī nei, "Ko ahau nō Pāora," me tētahi atu, "Ko ahau nō Aporo," ehara oti koutou i te hunga i te kikokiko?

5 Tēnā ko wai a Aporo? Ā, ko wai a Pāora? He minita i whakapono ai koutou; ki ia tangata i tā te Ariki i hōmai ai. 6 Nāku i whakatō, nā Aporo i whakamākūkū; nā te Atua ia i mea kia tupu. 7 Heoi, he kore noa iho te kaiwhakatō, he kore noa iho te kaiwhakamākūkū, engari, te Atua nāna nei i mea kia tupu. 8 Nā, ko te kaiwhakatō, ko te kaiwhakamākūkū, kotahi tonu rāua. Otirā, ka rite ki tāna ake mahi, te utu e riro mai i tēnā, i tēnā o rāua. 9 He hoa mahi hoki mātou nō te Atua; he māra koutou nā te Atua.

He whare hanga nā te Atua. 10 Kei te ritenga o te aroha noa o te Atua i hōmai nei ki ahau, kua whakatakotoria e ahau te tūnga, he pērā me tā te tohunga; ā, ko tētahi atu kei te hanga whare ki runga. Otirā, kia tūpato ia tangata ki tāna whare e hanga ai ki runga. 11 E kore hoki tētahi tangata e āhei te whakatakoto i tētahi tūnga kē atu i tērā kua oti nei te whakatakoto, arā, i a Īhu Karaiti. 12 Engari, ki te hanga tētahi ki runga ki te tūnga he kōura, he hiriwa, he kōhatu utu nui, he rākau, he tarutaru, he otaota; 13 ka whakakitea te mahi a tētahi, a tētahi; mā te rā hoki e whakaatu, nō te mea ka whakakitea e te kāpura; ā, mā te kāpura tonu e whakamātautau te mahi a tēnā, a tēnā, he pēhea tōna āhua. 14 Ki te mau tonu te mahi a tētahi e hanga ai ki runga, ka riro i a ia he utu. 15 Ki te wera te mahi a tētahi ka maumauria tāna; ko ia, ia ka ora; otirā me te mea mā roto i te ahi.

16 Kāhore oti koutou i mātau, he whare tapu koutou nō te Atua, ā, kei roto i a koutou te Wairua o te Atua e noho ana? 17 Ki te whakangaromia e tētahi te whare tapu o te Atua, ka whakangaromia hoki ia e te Atua; he tapu hoki te whare o te Atua, ā, ko koutou taua whare.

18 Kei hangarau tētahi ki a ia anō. Ki te mea tētahi he tangata mōhio ia i roto i a koutou i tēnei ao, tukua ia hei kūware kia tupu ai hei tangata whakaaro. 19 Ki te Atua hoki he kūware noa ngā whakaaro mōhio o tēnei ao. Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, "Ka mau i a ia te hunga whakaaro i runga i tō rātou tinihanga," 20 me tēnei hoki, "E mātau ana te Ariki ki ngā whakaaro o te hunga whakaaro, he tekateka noa." 21 Nō reira, kei whakamanamana tētahi ki te tangata. Nō koutou hoki ngā mea katoa; 22 ahakoa a Pāora, a Aporo, a Kipa, te ao, te ora, te mate rānei, ngā mea o nāianei, ngā mea rānei e takoto mai nei, nō koutou katoa; 23 ā, ko koutou nō te Karaiti, ko te Karaiti nō te Atua.
