eng: But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

eng: Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

aoj: Eaꞌ iꞌi anin epen nepe negaloma Kraisi, God nandaꞌ anin nataga dambain endilisi. Deiꞌ pemeꞌ andeandeꞌ. Waf afamba apifi ananifi ahiꞌalaf eaꞌ. Deiꞌ nandaꞌ waf dambaifi.


eng: Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ afaꞌ ina ataꞌ waila opaf apinai wawaloga waf anin epeni, owaꞌatin. Endilisi, fowaꞌ waila wafa opaf apinai eaꞌ wawaloga Krais naꞌamba. Apaꞌ deiꞌ owaꞌ.


eng: He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

aoj: Eaꞌ anen nahoꞌofa apaꞌ hiapai nagaꞌ ma apaꞌ epes mogape namepa ma ina aꞌ ukup pelapefeꞌ aꞌowaꞌ ma apaꞌ atepa, owaꞌatin. Apaꞌ ukup pendandaꞌma aman anamba nahaꞌofapa nagaꞌ ma notanima nogosafel wapanii, ukup pendandaꞌmana mondandaꞌ maol ananini atapipa.


eng: For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died.

aoj: Okom Kraisi magamagailapai atom masaꞌmafa ma maol inimba. Deiꞌ main, afaꞌ ukup pandandaꞌ pegawa endilisi naꞌamba. Iꞌi aman atotona nohoꞌofa apaꞌ hiapai hiꞌalapa ma nagagaꞌ, isimba siꞌi apaꞌ hiapai aꞌ magaꞌ eaꞌ.


eng: For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.

aoj: Iꞌi endilisi afaꞌ ope siꞌi ukup pagasoꞌasiai, eaꞌ diaogo, hapaimi. Afaꞌ wandaꞌam naꞌamba ma ogosaꞌma agol Godi. Iꞌi endilisi afaꞌ ukup pepomas andeandeꞌ, daoꞌ afaꞌ wandaꞌas naꞌamba ma wagatopalopepa.


eng: For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

aoj: Basef ifimba afaꞌ ina waꞌi osaꞌma agof afaꞌigufi atogofa ipaꞌ pigaꞌi afaꞌ amam buꞌufai, owaꞌ. Waꞌi ondaꞌ ufiaꞌwa ipaꞌ sowenogahepa ma afaꞌ naep anis epesi.

eng: For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

aoj: Apaꞌ mogawa endilisi anaf apaꞌ hiapai motaga ma kot atamba Kraisi hiꞌilapa. Iꞌi apaꞌ mondaꞌ waf buꞌwafi aꞌa waf awafi nogota atamba ataꞌ magape alop apeꞌipi. Anaf apaꞌ hiapai atona atin mofaꞌ hiahaom amamba buꞌwami aꞌa awami mogwama waf afamba apaꞌ mandaꞌafi.

aoj: Iꞌi ope ogalomana ilif aꞌa ogape alop apaꞌe ma itap apaꞌe, hapaimi. Afaꞌ dondol ukup paliꞌ pahafel banagepa ogaila okom Dembinaii atom.


eng: We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

eng: for we walk by faith, not by sight.

aoj: Deiꞌ ataꞌ wahapifana wafeꞌ. Afaꞌ ina deiꞌ watolona, ataꞌ owaꞌ.


eng: Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ hiahaom amamba mowaꞌ banaga opalef afaꞌilifi dondol. Afaꞌ ogawa, alop afaꞌipi ataꞌ siꞌi ifagw afaꞌ wagapaugwi. Ama nogota ataꞌe wagape alop apaꞌe, ina deiꞌ wape waloma Dembinai ma wambel ananimbili, ataꞌ owaꞌ.


eng: Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

aoj: God atona nandondombafa ma ogofaꞌ alop apamba dambaipi eaꞌ nasoꞌafa Ambal buꞌunai ananinai. Ambal anamba nagaliꞌma hiahaom amamba hiami nandaꞌami ma naꞌi anaf nogasoꞌafam afaꞌi eaꞌ ogawa endilisi atis anaf aꞌ nosoꞌafam.


eng: For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

aoj: Ahoꞌ, nimaguf hiafi afaꞌ ataꞌ wape itap apaꞌe wape atapifa ipat anamba sogowaloꞌ selanai eaꞌ opalef nimanilif kem atin wape. Afaꞌ ina wandaiwaꞌma ogakwaha alop deiꞌipi, owaꞌ.

eng: if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.

aoj: Iꞌi afaꞌ ogola klos amamba eaꞌ, alop afaꞌipi ina atiasi pil wafip dowaf, owaꞌ.


eng: For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

aoj: Deiꞌ afaꞌ ogawa naꞌamba. Nemaf afamba ipat atamba sogowaloꞌ selitai sagalaꞌata itap apaꞌii tondatal aota ma, eaꞌ hapaitai. Afaꞌ anota God naꞌi nogasoꞌafatai dambaitai. Ipat atamba epes ina sandaꞌata salaꞌata lagof asasigufi, owaꞌ. Atamba tapani heven eaꞌ totawa lifilafi dondol.


eng: while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, afaꞌ ina naep doꞌ banagambela hiahaom sagatolom naepi, owaꞌ. Hiahaom owaꞌ sogatolom naepia, daoꞌ watolom banagambel. Deiꞌ main, hiahaom sagatolom naepi, amamba atiasi mogape nogota bandatai. Apaꞌ hiahaom amamba owaꞌ sogatolom naepia, amambai mogape lifilafi dondoli.

eng: Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.

eng: But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,

aoj: Baibel nagaꞌi naꞌi, “Aeꞌ ahapifa God. Isimba atis deiꞌ awalapa basef alihif aꞌif.” Afaꞌ wahapifa God naꞌamba atin siꞌi Baibel nagaꞌi deiꞌ wawalapef waꞌif.


eng: So then death works in us, but life in you.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ epes isimba saꞌi sohafa ogaꞌ ma ipaꞌ pagahapifanai pefaꞌ ambal namili pegape andeandeꞌ.


eng: For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

aoj: Lifilafi afaꞌ ofaꞌ akafimi ma gaꞌ Jisasi alop afaꞌipi wafeꞌ. Wandaꞌas naꞌamba ma ambal namonai nagape Jisasi wapani nagataga alihina alop afaꞌipi.


eng: pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;

eng: seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

aoj: Fowaꞌ God nati akot atona naꞌi, “Lola aꞌ nendataga.” Deiꞌ eaꞌ anamba atona nandaꞌ mogogalaꞌi ananimi mataga ma afaꞌ eaꞌ mandaꞌ opalef afaꞌilifi fegalaꞌ aꞌowaꞌ. Mogogalaꞌi amamba mihimbaꞌmapa gawa ma mogogalaꞌi banagami Godi mape atapim mogalaꞌ. Apaꞌ mati amamba ma waf Jisas Kraisi fegalaꞌ fataga amaga ananigai.


eng: For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,

aoj: Deiꞌ main, afaꞌ ina wawalapa basefa afaꞌ ogasaꞌma agof afaꞌigufi luꞌwagof, owaꞌatin. Afaꞌ wawalapefa Krais Jisas atona anen Dembinai. Afaꞌ waila waf Jisasi deiꞌ agof akafa wape lafela ipaꞌ wandaꞌ maol watopalopepa.


eng: in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

aoj: Ama basef ifimba buꞌwafi kofagefa ma mogogalaꞌi Kraisi ina atiasi fiwis nomona opalef asasilifi, owaꞌ. Esis ina sati Krais nandati naꞌamba atin endilisi siꞌi Godi, owaꞌ.


eng: Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,

aoj: Iꞌi basef ifimba buꞌwafi Godi wagawalapafi fendambahoꞌ, daoꞌ fandambahoꞌma epes isimba atis sagafeꞌ ufiaꞌw higiligalasaꞌwi. God basoꞌamunai itap apaꞌinai nasopama opalefa epes isimba owaꞌ sogahapifa Godia.


eng: But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

aoj: Afaꞌ owaꞌ alafugah eaꞌ ma waf ambagof awagufi sandambahoꞌ sandaꞌafi. Ina ataꞌ wape wafeꞌ waf afamba basoꞌafi uhufifi watolapa basef Godi walambama lambamaifi waꞌif, owaꞌatin.

eng: Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

aoj: God naꞌi afaꞌ uwahipifa deiꞌ nasoꞌafa maol inimba. Eaꞌ afaꞌ ina wandahagasa maol inimba, owaꞌatin.


eng: But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

aoj: Eaꞌ apaꞌ hiapai deiꞌ mape amagah wafigah, mogogalaꞌi buꞌwami Dembinai mogalaꞌma apaꞌ mogogaifa anis epes.

eng: Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

aoj: Dembinai anamba anen Ambal buꞌunai Godi. Iꞌi Spirit Ambal Dembinaii nogape anin epen, ina ataꞌ anis maefah siliꞌama anin, owaꞌatin. Anin nape wahifin.


eng: But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

aoj: Fowaꞌ sagatalifa basef Moses nandaꞌafi safiꞌi sataga deiꞌ, lowaf afamba ataꞌ fasoꞌala opalef asasilifi atapif.


eng: But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

aoj: Owaꞌ ukup asasipi pasoꞌas endilisi. Deiꞌ main, dondol esis sagatalifa basef fagail Baibeli fowaꞌ God nagalaꞌ lapafi.

Krais atona, daoꞌ God nahapeꞌ lowaf afamba.


eng: and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.

aoj: Ina wape siꞌi Moses, owaꞌ. Anen nawala lowaf napeteꞌaf amaga ananigai nambahoꞌwaga ma esis Israel ina siti mogogalaꞌi amamba mogafeꞌ saꞌosaꞌombela hiꞌigalam, owaꞌ.


eng: Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

eng: For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

aoj: Maol inimba deiꞌ naꞌi aꞌ higiligalani, anin fowaꞌ nataga naloma mogogalaꞌi Godi. Apaꞌ mogogalaꞌi deiꞌimi ma maol inimba nagape lifilafii aꞌ luꞌum aꞌowaꞌ mikilaꞌ amamba magaliꞌi.


eng: For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.

aoj: Endilisi, mogogalaꞌi fowaꞌimi ina mogalaꞌ naꞌamba atin siꞌi deiꞌimi, owaꞌ. Fowaꞌimi falafumi atom apaꞌ deiꞌimi luꞌum mikilaꞌ aꞌowaꞌ.


eng: won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?

aoj: Apaꞌ mogogalaꞌi ma maol Godi Ambal buꞌunai ananinai nandaꞌani luꞌum aꞌowaꞌ mikilaꞌ amamba fowaꞌimi.


eng: who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

eng: not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,

aoj: Endilisi aeꞌ atowe ina laꞌifiwi ma endaꞌ maol inimba, owaꞌatin. God atona nandaꞌe laꞌifiwi ma andaꞌ maol inimba ananini.


eng: Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,

aoj: Basef ifimba kofagefa naꞌamba. Krais natopalope endilisi eaꞌ ahapifif banagewe ma God ape naꞌamba.


eng: being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

aoj: Fowaꞌ Dembinai nandaꞌ ufiaꞌw kwagala aeꞌ afiꞌi agataga Troasa agawalapa basef buꞌwafi ma Krais.


eng: Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

eng: Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ aꞌipipa dindinip pihimbaꞌma anona ukup ipeꞌipi uwahipipi luꞌup paipailana.


eng: so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ pendaꞌ anef waf daiaf anen. Andeandeꞌma pekwaho waf awafi ananifi ukup pegaseꞌepafa pegewaꞌ banagona pendaꞌ opaf ananifi awanef. Naꞌamba nimanimi luꞌwami aꞌowaꞌ mondaꞌ okom ananimi aom aꞌ nefeꞌ lafel endilisi.


eng: This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one;

aoj: Nimanimi akafimi ipaꞌ epes hipai pagasoꞌanami eaꞌ mandahama anen.


eng: But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.

eng: For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

aoj: Ahoꞌ, basefa lap mamahifa God nagaꞌiefi kofagefa fandawalap eaꞌ faꞌi Krais atona, anen nagaꞌi ahoꞌ atini. Isimba atis deiꞌ apaꞌ maꞌi agol Jisas Kraisi atogol eaꞌ maꞌi, “Endilisi” ma basef ifimba God nagalaꞌ lapafi masaꞌma agol ananigili luꞌwagol.


eng: For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

aoj: Nogamana Godi Jisas Krais, aeꞌi Sailas waloma Timoti wagawalapa basef ananifii, anen ina nagaꞌi naꞌambai nagaꞌi, “Ahoꞌ” i “Owaꞌ” atifi, owaꞌatin. Krais nagaꞌi ahoꞌ atini.

eng: When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”

aoj: Deiꞌ siꞌi main? Aeꞌ aꞌias eaꞌ ma endaꞌas naꞌamba, owaꞌ alambama basef ifimba andaꞌ dambaifi fahaꞌohef? O iꞌi aeꞌ okom miꞌi endaꞌ anin mae, iꞌi basef biafif “Ahoꞌ” neloma “Owaꞌ” wapani siꞌi epes itapasi sagaꞌi? Owaꞌatin endilisi.

eng: For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

aoj: Ipaꞌ alipipai, afaꞌ waꞌi ipaꞌ ataꞌ pegawa nimanimi akafimi anis epes sagasoꞌafam gani itap apamba luꞌupa Esiai. Akafimi amamba luꞌwami aꞌowaꞌ eaꞌ mahagofa afaꞌ, mikilaꞌ banagami afaꞌimi. Eaꞌ afaꞌ ukup pandandaꞌ paꞌi endilisi atiasi aꞌ ogaꞌ.

eng: But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

aoj: Iꞌi deiꞌ anis daias sogasoꞌafa nimanimi, amamba motopalopepa mondaꞌ opalef ipeꞌilifi fepe saꞌombela atiasi God nokwahomepa waf awafi nofaꞌepa pigitanimai.

eng: Now I beg you, brothers—you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints—

aoj: Ipaꞌ pegawa wambota Stefanasi saliꞌ sataga Kristen saliꞌma Grik hiasi. Eaꞌ esis ukup paꞌipaꞌi aꞌowaꞌ atapisa sandaꞌ maol sagatopalopa epes Godi. Alipipai, aeꞌ aꞌipipa dindinipa


eng: Let all that you do be done in love.

eng: Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

aoj: Eaꞌ basef sahomapa apeꞌinai Apolos fagape naꞌamba. Nimaguf hiafi aꞌipana dindinip aꞌi anen ataꞌ nolomago anom alipumi ataꞌ mofoꞌo mitiago ipaꞌ, apaꞌ anen nandaiwaꞌ endilisi ma nogafoꞌo deiꞌ. Nambimba iꞌi anen niti Dembinai nondaꞌ ufiaꞌw kogala nogafoꞌo, daoꞌ aꞌ nofoꞌo.

aoj: Apaꞌ mundanifela God. Ama banagami Dembinai apeꞌinai Jisas Kraisi atom God nowaꞌ banagapa ma deiꞌ migikilaꞌ wandafa mogaliꞌamona waf awafi.


eng: But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

aoj: Endilisi, alop anama mawanai anona nemaf notaga dambaina nope andeandeꞌ laꞌelaꞌef. Eaꞌ alop anama naꞌi anona nemaf nohafel nondati naꞌana nofaꞌ ambal namunai nope laꞌelaꞌef. Nemaf anama anom basef Baibelimi motaga mondawalap maꞌi, “God nahagofa gaꞌ nikilaꞌ wandaf nandaꞌam hiꞌalam.”


eng: “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”

aoj: “Inaꞌ, gaꞌ, banagami ineꞌimi amuma? Eaꞌ wambaꞌw ineꞌikwi hikaliꞌwi akuma? Owaꞌatin endilisi.”


eng: The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, alop apamba apaꞌ magawapi anaf apotoga pondehi namop pope andeandeꞌ lifilafi. Alop apamba pagagaꞌi apotaga namop pope dondol.


eng: in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

aoj: Aman nagaliꞌi, God nandaꞌ itap nandaꞌana nataga ambal lapaona. Apaꞌ aman nagiꞌ nagatagai, anen aman heveninai.


eng: However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.

aoj: Apaꞌ alop ilifapi ina pataga paliꞌ, owaꞌatin. Alop itapapi apop pataga paliꞌ. Eaꞌ alop apamba ilifapi pataga pagiꞌ.


eng: So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

aoj: Baibel wapani nagaꞌi naꞌamba naꞌi, “Aman nagaliꞌi Adam nataga ambal namilinai.” Apaꞌ Adam nagiꞌ nagatagai nataga ambal buꞌunai ma nogasoꞌas ambal namili epesi.


eng: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

aoj: Alop apamba aꞌ magawap, itapi. Apaꞌ alop pogosafel wapanii, ilifapi, Ambal buꞌunai Godi nugumafiapi. Alop apamba biafip ilifapi itapapi pape.


eng: It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

aoj: Alop apaꞌ magawapi, apamba aꞌ awasip foloꞌogalapi. Alop pogosafel wapanii, apamba buꞌwapi fasipi endilisi. Alop magawapi apamba ina banagapi, owaꞌ. Alop pogosafel wapanii, apop banagapi.


eng: There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

aoj: Awin alipini anef sosaf, a owambini anef daiaf. Ondowa anef sosaf, apaꞌ ondowa wapani hiafi daindaiaf.


eng: There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

aoj: Eaꞌ hiahaom magape heveni maloma magape itapi amamba hiami mape. Apaꞌ sosafa hiahaom anef daiaf, sosaf itapafi anef daiaf.


eng: All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

aoj: Alop hiapi hiahaop ambagof fagapaipi ina atotop, owaꞌatin. Alop epesi anop daiap, alop mafisi anop daiap. Amigufi anop daiap, a agufi anop daiap.


eng: But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.

eng: That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.

aoj: Hiahawes isimba apaꞌ magawasi, isimba ina sataga atifis hiꞌilas siꞌi agof o soh mais, owaꞌatin. Apaꞌ mawa nalelef atelef dowaf, anis gwaꞌaisi daias.

aoj: Apaꞌ anona aman atiasi nogahaliꞌ naꞌamba niꞌi, “Esis sagagaꞌi anaf sosafel siꞌimama? Anaf sofaꞌ alop mamahopa ma sogosafel wapani?”


eng: Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

eng: If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

aoj: Aeꞌ agape Efesus apaꞌ andaꞌ wandaf aloma mafis magail alupi luꞌwami. Amamba atiasi aeꞌ efaꞌ hiahawes buꞌwasi maisam? Iꞌi aꞌ endilisi esis sagagaꞌi owaꞌ sotanima sosafela, eaꞌ siꞌi anis epes gawaisi sagaꞌi, “Hapaisi, apaꞌ meaꞌ gwaꞌaisii embela naman mogagaꞌ.”

eng: Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?

aoj: Anis epes sati waf buꞌwafi anis Kristeni sape banagesa bousi sahas sagaꞌ eaꞌ epes isimba satilis sahapifa Krais sofaꞌ baptais.

eng: For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, fowaꞌ God naꞌias naꞌamba naꞌi, “Anaf aeꞌ endaꞌ hiahaom hiami, hiꞌilam moloma epes hiasi wapani sefeꞌ lafela anen.” Basef ifimba fagaꞌi God nandaꞌ hiahaom hiami mogafeꞌ lafela Krais atona.

eng: Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

eng: If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

aoj: Ahoꞌ, ipaꞌ anipa paꞌi God ina nosaꞌma esis epes sagagaꞌi, owaꞌ. Iꞌi basef ipeꞌifi endilisifiai, God ina nosaꞌma Krais wapani, owaꞌatin.


eng: Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised.

aoj: Apaꞌ iꞌi naꞌambaiai, anif basef wapani. Deiꞌ afaꞌ aꞌ otaga amam wambasoꞌam wagawalapa basef Godii. Deiꞌ main, afaꞌ waꞌi basef alihif wawalapefa God nasaꞌma Krais nogosafel wapani matmat. Apaꞌ iꞌi endilisi God owaꞌ nosaꞌma sagagaꞌiai, daoꞌ anen ina nosaꞌma Krais wapani, owaꞌ.


eng: If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain.

aoj: Iꞌi aꞌ endilisi God owaꞌ nosaꞌma Kraisai, deiꞌ basef amamba afaꞌ wagawalapami falafumi atom eaꞌ waf ipaꞌ pagahapifa Kraisafi falafifi atef wafifi.


eng: But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

aoj: Ipaꞌ anipa paꞌi endilisi esis sagagaꞌi ina sotanima sosafel, owaꞌ. Iꞌi basef ipeꞌifi endilisifiai, Krais wapani, God ina nasaꞌmana, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ owaꞌ owaꞌatin.


eng: Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

aoj: Dondol afaꞌ wawalapa basefa Krais nagagaꞌ ma God nasaꞌmana nogosafel wapani. Deiꞌ maina ipaꞌ anipa paꞌi basef naꞌamba pagaꞌi, “Epes sagagaꞌi ina anaf sotanima sosafel wapani, owaꞌ.”?


eng: Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.

aoj: Apaꞌ basef ifimbai, aeꞌ andaꞌam aꞌa amom mandaꞌam, owaꞌ. Basef ifimbai wamunaifi hapaifi. Basef amamba buꞌwami fasimi atom afaꞌ hiafai wawalipipam eaꞌ amamba atom ipaꞌ pahapilam sisihim.


eng: But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

aoj: Owaꞌ God atona okom maimaili natopalope dowaf nandaꞌe ape andeandeꞌ. Eaꞌ deiꞌ aeꞌ ape. Anan nagatopalope dowaf, isimba ina safeꞌ senalo, owaꞌ. Sandaꞌe andaꞌ maol banagambel aꞌowaꞌ ikilaꞌ anom aposel daiam. Apaꞌ ina aeꞌ atowe andaꞌ maol inimba, owaꞌ. God natopalope dowaf, isimba atis deiꞌ ape andaꞌam atapiwi.


eng: For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, aeꞌ ataꞌ saꞌowe ape awani falafuwai laꞌafena amom aposel. Aeꞌ ina deiꞌ boꞌwawe ma epes sofale sigaꞌi aposel, owaꞌ. Deiꞌ main, andaꞌ maol agahambombaga sios Godii.


eng: and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

aoj: Ma main, owaꞌ aeꞌ agiꞌ endilisi atolona wapani, natagama aeꞌ siꞌi awani maꞌman kogolan ataꞌ kwapetiꞌi.


eng: Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,

aoj: Ma main, natagama Jems natolona. Eaꞌ natagama amom aposel hiami matolona.


eng: Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.

aoj: Eaꞌ nataga nandawalapa esis amam nematawa Kristen hiasi satolona, isimba alipisi sagaila anini hiasi aꞌowaꞌ sikilaꞌ epes 500-pelais. Deiꞌ andaꞌ basef ifimba fafeꞌmago ipaꞌ, aꞌi alipisi isimba hiasi deiꞌ ataꞌ sape, apaꞌ anis asagaꞌ eaꞌ.


eng: and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

aoj: Ama main, naliꞌ natagama Pita eaꞌ nagiꞌ natagama alipumi aninimi 12-pelaim.


eng: that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

aoj: Eaꞌ esis sofaꞌana salana nowaga matmat. Ama nimaguf bif hiꞌalef fagafeꞌma wanifi, God nasaꞌmana wapani siꞌi Baibel nagaꞌiam.


eng: For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

aoj: Basef aliꞌ agasiꞌipami, amamba aeꞌ fowaꞌ aliꞌ egefaꞌami. Amamba naꞌamba. Krais nagaꞌma nagakwaha awami apeꞌimi, siꞌi Baibel fowaꞌ nagaꞌiam.


eng: by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

aoj: Aeꞌ aꞌipipa basef amamba buꞌwami. Iꞌi ipaꞌ pihapilam tatalaꞌim, God nofaꞌepa nokwahomepa waf awafi pitanimai. Iꞌi owaꞌ, pahapilam dowadowaf alop atop andoꞌ.


eng: Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,

aoj: Ipaꞌ alipipai, deiꞌ aeꞌ aꞌi esaꞌma nomonas ipeꞌisi wapani ma basef amamba buꞌwami Godi aliꞌ agasiꞌipami. Ipaꞌ pefaꞌam eaꞌ basef amamba atom deiꞌ pahapilam palutu banagepamam.


eng: Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.

aoj: Ipaꞌ alipipai aeꞌipai, ukup ipeꞌipi pendehafel endilisi ma Ambal Godi nosaꞌmepa pegawalapa basef ananifi siꞌi profet. Eaꞌ ipaꞌ ina pesopama ufiaꞌwa pigaꞌi basefa anoga diga daiaga, owaꞌi.


eng: But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

aoj: Ama iꞌi anin nindaiwaꞌma basef ifimba, ipaꞌ wapani pindaiwaꞌma anin.


eng: If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

aoj: Iꞌi epen ami okom mondandaꞌ niꞌi Ambal Godi nasaꞌman nawalapa basef Godi siꞌi profet, aꞌa niꞌi anin nefaꞌ presen anin daian, anin aꞌ nendegawa basef ifimba deiꞌ andaꞌef ipeꞌi, ifimba muꞌuli Dembinaii.


eng: What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

aoj: Deiꞌ aꞌi ihaliꞌipa. Ipaꞌ kofagepama basef Godi? Ipaꞌ atipa pefaꞌ basef Godi a anis amam nematawa daias owaꞌ? Owaꞌatin.


eng: if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”

aoj: Iꞌi awo wiꞌi ogogawa anif basef kofagefa, bola ofeꞌma ifagw asasigwi aꞌ uhaliꞌ wauhupawa miꞌipawaef. Iꞌi anoꞌw nemataꞌw kondaꞌ basef ipaꞌ sios pandakolasa, waf afambai ambagof awogufafi.


eng: Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,

aoj: awo nematawa ina aꞌ ulutu wiꞌi basef, owaꞌi. Awo osopama malogof ope dowaf. Sios apaꞌ amam nematawa Godi waf eaꞌ afamba atef. Nematawa ina aꞌ ope wiliꞌma sios, owaꞌi. Ondape lafel siꞌi muꞌuli Godi nagaꞌias.


eng: for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, God ina nandaꞌ waf uluwalifi, owaꞌatin. Anen nandaꞌwaf usiꞌifi opalef atifilif fagape awanelifi. Apaꞌ sios amam nematawa Kristen sunduwaꞌanima sogape,


eng: The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

aoj: Epes ami sogofaꞌ presen inimba Ambal Godi nasaꞌmasa sogawalapa basef ananifi siꞌi profet, aꞌ sundumafi presen inimba andeandeꞌ.


eng: For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.

aoj: Ipaꞌ hipai Ambal Godi nasaꞌmepa pawalapa basef Godi siꞌi profet, ipaꞌ pewalapef atona atin piꞌif daindai ma epes hiasi semeꞌef solafefa fegewaꞌ banaga hapif asasini.


eng: But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

aoj: Iꞌi anin epen tol nepe lotu nemeꞌ basefa God nihimbaꞌmana anif basefa epen inimba, daoꞌ aman anamba naliꞌ nalutu nagawalapa basefi aꞌ nondasopama malogol.


eng: But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

aoj: Ama iꞌi owaꞌ anin epena negambemefa, daoꞌ epen inimba naꞌi nigaꞌi basefa anoga digai aꞌ nendasopama malogol ananigili ma basef ifimba ma esis sandakolasa. Bola anin atin niꞌif nendaloma God.


eng: If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

aoj: Iꞌi anis ukup pehafela sigaꞌi basefa anoga diga daiaga, bias aꞌa wanis sindaꞌi basef atona atin. Eaꞌ maꞌwis isimba. Apaꞌ ina aꞌ siꞌif atef, owaꞌi. Sindaꞌif atona atin. Ifimba eaꞌ maꞌuf. Eaꞌ anin epen atitin aꞌ nendambema basef ifimba.


eng: What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

aoj: Ipaꞌ alipipai, deiꞌ basef ifimba akutaifi aeꞌafi fagape naꞌamba. Nemaf afamba pendakolas, presen inimba hiani Ambal Godi nagasoꞌapani napoma ipaꞌ hipai naꞌamba. Anin epen nendaꞌ anaf awaf, anin daian niꞌi anif basef Godi niwalipipa, a anin God nasoꞌana anif basefa negawalapef, eaꞌ anin daian negawa ma nigaꞌi anoga diga daiaga, a anin daian negawa ma negambema basef ifimba. Ipaꞌ pendandaꞌ hiahaom amamba hiami ma pegewaꞌ banaga hapif esis amam nematawa sios.


eng: And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

aoj: Basef hiafi fape fandambahoꞌ okom ananimii, ifimba atiasi afetaga fendawalap alihifa anin nifiꞌi nindiwa nembawa nitimaloꞌ nefela agol Godi nowalapa basef naꞌamba niꞌi, “Endilisi atis, God nape nalomepa.”


eng: Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

aoj: Deiꞌ apaꞌ mogawa presen inimba pagaꞌi basefa anoga diga daiaga, inimba ina ametal God nandaꞌana esis sagahapifanai, owaꞌ. Anen nandaꞌana epes isimba owaꞌ sogahapifanaia. Apaꞌ presen inimba Ambal buꞌunai Godi nasaꞌmepa pawalapa basef ananifi siꞌi profet, inimba ina ametal God nagasoꞌasan epes isimba owaꞌ sogahapifanaia, owaꞌ. Inimba ametal isimba sagahapifanai atis.


eng: If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?

aoj: Eaꞌ iꞌi esis amam nematawa Godi hiesi sondowaꞌanima etifigin ama ipeꞌ hipei piꞌi basefa diga naninani ma enis epes owaꞌ sefaꞌ presen anama o enis owaꞌ seambaleꞌefa Kraisi sifiꞌi sope solomepa, siꞌi, “Ipeꞌ pahaga pagaoli.”


eng: But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

aoj: Apaꞌ iꞌi Ambal buꞌunai Godi nasaꞌma ipaꞌ hipai ma pegawalapa basef Godi siꞌi profet ama iꞌi anin epen owaꞌ nogohapifa Kraisia o owaꞌ negegawa basef Godi andeandeꞌia nifiꞌi negawis, ama basef ipaꞌ hipaii atiasi feha nembel epen inimbai eaꞌ fewaloga opaf ananifi ma waf maif awafi fagapani.


eng: In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”

aoj: Anif basefa muꞌuli Godi fagail buki fagaꞌi naꞌamba faꞌi, “Dembinai naꞌi, anaf Aeꞌ endaꞌ anis epes anota wambota sagaꞌi anoga diga daiagai isaꞌmas siꞌipasa basef aeꞌafi epes isimba aeꞌasi, apaꞌ esis ina atiasi sila basef ifimba, owaꞌatin.”


eng: Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

aoj: Ipaꞌ alipipai, ipaꞌ ina pepe ukup pelapefeꞌ siꞌi awasi, hapaimi. Waf awafi, daoꞌ ipaꞌ ukup beꞌep pepe andeandeꞌ ukup peseꞌepaf siꞌi awasi. Apaꞌ nomonas ipeꞌisi sondataga siꞌi epes dambesi.


eng: I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.

aoj: Aeꞌ anifela God nimaguf hiafi ma aeꞌ agaꞌi basefa anoga diga daiaga. Ipaꞌ ina laꞌifipama pendaꞌope, owaꞌ.


eng: For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

aoj: Iꞌi ipaꞌ pinifela Goda ukup ipeꞌipi atip, ama anin epen owaꞌ nefaꞌ anin presen hiahaom fasimi Ambal Godi nagaseꞌepamia, deiꞌ atiasi anin negawa niꞌimama ma beten inimba ipeꞌini ma nigaꞌi endilisi?

eng: What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ atiasi endaꞌas iꞌimama? Aeꞌ endandaꞌ betena ambal aeꞌali eloma okom aeꞌami wapani. Aeꞌ endandaꞌ awalefa ambal aeꞌali eloma okom aeꞌami wapani.


eng: For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, iꞌi endaꞌ betena anoga diga daiaga, ambal aeꞌali atol landabeten, apaꞌ okom aeꞌami mape dowaf.


eng: Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

aoj: Eaꞌ epen ami nagaꞌi basefa anoga diga daiagai anin nendandaꞌ betena Goda nogosoꞌan gawa negambema basefa diga agamba.


eng: So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

aoj: Ipaꞌ wapani naꞌamba atin. Ipaꞌ ukup paꞌi aꞌowaꞌ ma pegefaꞌ presen hiahaom fasimi Ambal Godi nagaseꞌepami. Eaꞌ ipaꞌ daoꞌ pendandaꞌ maol banagambel endilisi ma pegefaꞌ presen inimbai negewaꞌ banaga hapifa siosi.


eng: If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.

aoj: Aeꞌ iꞌi owaꞌ egawa basef kofagefa anin epen nagaꞌiafia, atiasi anin okom mopoma aeꞌ niꞌi aeꞌ epen agaꞌi anoga diga anambel wambeli. Eaꞌ aeꞌ wapani okom mapoma anin iꞌi nagaꞌi anoga diga anambel wambili.


eng: There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

aoj: Endilisi, diga hiaga haoga gape itap apaꞌe. Apaꞌ ina anoga diga falafugai dowaf, owaꞌatin. Basef kofagefa fape diga gagigagi hiagai.


eng: So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.

aoj: Ipaꞌ wapani naꞌamba atin. Ipaꞌ iꞌi piꞌi basefa anoga diga esis owaꞌ sogogawagaia, atiasi sogawa basef ifimba kofagefa siꞌimama? Owaꞌatin. Atiasi basef ipeꞌifi fefeꞌ higililif dowaf.


eng: For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?

aoj: Iꞌi bugel alof owaꞌ fogal fiꞌi alihifa, amom mondaꞌ wandafi silisilawi mope mondandombola wandaf miꞌimama? Owaꞌatin.


eng: Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?

aoj: Hiahawes ambal akasi, siꞌi batagwi gita, amamba eaꞌ naꞌamba atin siꞌi diga agamba hiagai. Iꞌi amom owaꞌ mogal melef mondaꞌ maguf fafifafi fetagaia, apaꞌ atiasi mogahembeꞌ mogawa maguf amamufi alihif miꞌimama? Owaꞌatin.


eng: But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

aoj: Alipipai, ipaꞌ ukup pendameꞌ basef ifimba andeandeꞌ. Iꞌi aeꞌ efeꞌmago ipaꞌ ma egaꞌi basefa anoga diga daiaga, atiasi etopalopepa ewaꞌ banagaipa iꞌimama? Owaꞌatin.

eng: Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

aoj: Aeꞌ okom maꞌi ipaꞌ hipai hiꞌilipa piꞌi basefa anoga diga daiaga. Apaꞌ epen ami Ambal Godi nasaꞌmana newalapa basef Godi siꞌi profet, anin nikilaꞌ epen inimba nagaꞌi basefa anoga diga daiagai owaꞌ nembemef niꞌif alihifa.

Apaꞌ iꞌi negambemef alihifa, daoꞌ basef ifimba fewaꞌ banagas.


eng: He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

aoj: Epen ami nagaꞌi basefa anoga diga daiagai, anin newaꞌ banaga opaf ananifi atof. Apaꞌ epen ami Ambal Godi nasaꞌman nawalapa basef Godi siꞌi profet, inimba newaꞌ banaga esis sios amam nematawa Kristen.


eng: For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

aoj: Apaꞌ mogawa epen ami naꞌi basefaꞌ anoga diga daiagai, anin ina nasoꞌas basef epes, owaꞌ. Anin naꞌipa God atona. Deiꞌ main, ina anin epen negawa diga agamba, owaꞌatin. Banagami Ambal Godi atom anin naꞌi basef ifimba fowaꞌ fape fandambahiꞌi.


eng: But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

aoj: Apaꞌ epen ami Ambal Godi nasaꞌmana nagaꞌi basef Godi siꞌi profeti, epen inimbai naꞌipasef nowaꞌ banaga hapif asasini eaꞌ fasaꞌmasa sondaꞌ waf fasifi fendaꞌ opalef asasilifi awanelef.


eng: Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

aoj: Ipaꞌ banagepa piliꞌ ukup pindaila epes hiasi peseꞌasa nelelemb esis. Eaꞌ ukup ipeꞌipi pendahafel endilisi ma pegefaꞌ presen hiahaom fasimi Ambal buꞌunai Godi nagaseꞌepami. Apaꞌ presen nagaliꞌi ma ipaꞌ pendaꞌ maol dindinipa pegefaꞌani, inimba naꞌamba. Presen Ambal Godi nosaꞌmepa ma pegawalapa basef Godi siꞌi profet.


eng: But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

aoj: Deiꞌ waf wanifif fape, afamba naꞌamba. Waf mogahapifa Kraisafi faloma waf mope mogahafa Godafi, waf ukup pagapagailas endilisiafi. Waf afamba wanifif. Apaꞌ fagaliꞌ endilisii, waf ukup pagapagailas endilisi.


eng: For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

aoj: Deiꞌ apaꞌ mati hiahaom mataga eaꞌ, apaꞌ ina mandawalap alihim aꞌowaꞌ, ataꞌ owaꞌ. Mataga siꞌi mapelaga embel magati walofam atin. Apaꞌ anaf owagama nemaf dondoꞌafi fegataga, daoꞌ mundatima nogohnaep alihipa. Deiꞌ ataꞌ egawa waꞌawaꞌas atis. Apaꞌ nemaf afamba egawa isimba endilisi siꞌi God nogogawe.


eng: When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.

aoj: Fowaꞌ aeꞌ ataꞌ agape siꞌi awani aꞌi basef siꞌi awani. Aeꞌ amemeꞌma hiahawes siꞌi awani. Apaꞌ afamba agataga dambewe, akwaha waf afamba awanii.


eng: but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.

aoj: Apaꞌ anaf hiahaom God okom maꞌi motaga mugagiꞌ endilisii mogataga, nemaf afamba hiahaom amamba deiꞌ mogataga waꞌawaꞌami atiasi hiꞌilam.

eng: Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

aoj: Waf afamba ukup pagapagaila anis daias endilisi, afambai anaf ina higililaf, owaꞌatin endilisi. Apaꞌ waf afamba Ambal Godi nasaꞌmapa ma mogowalapa basef ananifi, afamba anaf higililaf hiꞌilaf.

eng: doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

eng: doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

eng: Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,

aoj: Epen mamahina okom magaila anis epes daias endilisi, anin nandaꞌ waf buꞌwafi naꞌamba. Anin ina kwafalis nagwamasa waf awafi esis sandaꞌmanaf anini, owaꞌatin. Anin nape natitilis.

eng: If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

aoj: Iꞌi aeꞌ egasoꞌasa hiahaom hiami aeꞌami hiꞌigalama esis isimba kwahusa hiahawesi ma endaꞌ maol Godi igaꞌi ahoꞌma anis epes sandaiwaꞌma Godi siꞌi sehe sogaofe nif egagaꞌ.

eng: If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.

aoj: Iꞌi Ambal buꞌunai Godi noseꞌe presen hiahaom fasimi nosaꞌme ma egawalipasa basef Godi ma egegawa okom hiami Godi mape mandamabahiꞌi hiꞌigalam, ama egegawa gawa hiani hiꞌigalan wapani, ma igahapifa God banagambel endilisi ma laꞌifiwi esapaꞌ halafutagw gogafeꞌ gani doꞌwan, apaꞌ aeꞌ owaꞌ okom mimila esis amam nematawa endilisi, aeꞌ falafuwai atowe.


eng: If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

eng: God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

aoj: God nahapona anis epes ananisi sape naꞌamba ma sios. Magaliꞌi aposel, sagagiꞌi profet, sagafeꞌma wanifi, esis tisa sagawalipasa basef kofagefa Godii.

eng: that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

eng: Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,

aoj: Eaꞌ alop apamba waꞌap apaꞌ ambagof awagofapi, apaꞌ mofaloꞌmap aꞌowaꞌ mumafiap datima.


eng: No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

eng: The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”

aoj: Naep ina laꞌifipa piꞌipa lagof pigaꞌi, “Afaꞌ wandaiwaꞌma ipaꞌ pepe pegalomafa. Afaꞌ atofa ogape, daoꞌ andeandeꞌ.” Eaꞌ balaga wapani ina laꞌifigama giꞌipa boꞌwagah gigaꞌi, “Aeꞌ andaiwaꞌma ipaꞌ pepe pegalome, owaꞌ. Aeꞌ atowe epe, daoꞌ andeandeꞌ.” Owaꞌatin.


eng: But now they are many members, but one body.

aoj: Apaꞌ alop ina pataga pandandaꞌ naꞌamba, owaꞌ. Alop waꞌawaꞌap saꞌosaꞌopa hiapi, apaꞌ alop siꞌip atifip.


eng: But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

eng: If they were all one member, where would the body be?

aoj: Iꞌi alop siꞌipa anop alop atifip popaop hiꞌilapai, deiꞌ atiasi alop apamba siꞌip pope mama? Owaꞌatin.


eng: If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?

eng: If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.

aoj: Eaꞌ aliga wapani giꞌias giꞌi, “Aeꞌ ina aꞌ naep ape alop siꞌip, owaꞌ.” Iꞌi aliga gigaꞌias naꞌambai, ina andeandeꞌ owaꞌ, basef ifimba hapaifi. Aliga gandala gape alop siꞌip apamba atop.


eng: If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.

aoj: Iꞌi boꞌwaga giꞌias giꞌi, “Aeꞌ ina aꞌ lagol agape alop siꞌipi, owaꞌ.” Iꞌi boꞌaga agamba gigaꞌi basef naꞌambaifi, ina andeandeꞌ, owaꞌ. Basef ifimbai hapaifi. Boꞌwaga gandala gape alop siꞌip apamba atop.


eng: For the body is not one member, but many.

aoj: Apaꞌ mogawa alop ina atifiminap, owaꞌatin. Alop saꞌosaꞌopa hiapi.


eng: For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, apaꞌ hiapai mofaꞌ saꞌofa Ambal buꞌunai Godi atotona. Nandaꞌapa mataga alop atotop, esis Juda saloma owaꞌ Judaisia saloma esis agof akasi a esis sagape wahifisi, owaꞌ sogape lafela anis daiasia wapani. Apaꞌ hiapai mofaꞌ Ambal Godi atotona nape siꞌina nelelemb apeꞌilimbi.


eng: For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

aoj: Presen hiami fasimi mamimami siꞌi alop apaꞌ epesi. Alop apaꞌ epesi atifip, apaꞌ saꞌosaꞌopa hiapi eaꞌ alop apamba hiapi luꞌup saꞌop pafeꞌ pail alop siꞌip atotop. Krais wapani naꞌamba atin.

eng: For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

aoj: Epen atitin Ambal buꞌunai Godi nasoꞌan pepela nigihimbaꞌmasa gawa hiani buꞌwani naninani ma negawalapa epes hiasi. Eaꞌ anin daian Ambal buꞌwali Godi anamba atona nasoꞌan pepela negawalapa basef kofagefa waf Godi ma atiasi esis amam nematawa sogogawana andeandeꞌ.

eng: There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.

eng: Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

aoj: Presen hiahaom fasimi Ambal buꞌunai Godi nagasoꞌapam dowafi, amamba hiami mamimami. Amamba Ambal Godi atona nasoꞌapam.


eng: Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.

aoj: Eaꞌ ipaꞌ pendegawa epen mamahina Ambal buꞌunai Godi nasaꞌman nagaꞌi basefi, ina atiasi niꞌi basef niꞌi, “Jisas anaf higililana,” owaꞌatin. Eaꞌ epen ami Ambal buꞌunai Godi akani, anin ina atiasi niꞌi basef niꞌi, “Jisas anen Dembinai,” owaꞌatin.


eng: You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

aoj: Ipaꞌ pegawa eaꞌ ma fowaꞌ ipaꞌ ataꞌ pagape aopama waf awafi pegelelama God, nogota atamba ipaꞌ ukup paila wale basoꞌamumi maim magahondoꞌipai, mememi owaꞌ mugaꞌi kwasakwasalaia.

eng: But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

aoj: Iꞌi anin epen ami nolomahan, anin ataꞌ niliꞌ nendaꞌago gwaꞌaisi ipat ananitai. Naꞌamba dakolas ipeꞌini newalapai basef kota ipaꞌ. Basef ifimba duꞌwanif fagapani ataꞌ owaꞌ igaꞌipipafia, nemaf mamahefa egafeꞌmago ipaꞌ, daoꞌ iꞌipipaef isindiꞌamonepa.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ ipaꞌ alipipai aeꞌipai, iꞌi ipaꞌ pekolata pegaꞌ gwaꞌaisi Dembinaii, ipaꞌ ataꞌ pepe pehafa anis siliꞌ.


eng: But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

aoj: Apaꞌ iꞌi Dembinai nagahihiꞌ waf apeꞌifima nogagwa waf awafima apaꞌa, isimba anen nasaꞌapa bumbulita nasindiꞌamonapa ma anaf ina higililapa moloma epes sagaila waf itapafii, owaꞌatin.

aoj: Kofagema eaꞌ amamba atom deiꞌ amam nematawa hiasi laꞌafena ipaꞌ pupulis, owaꞌ banagesa, eaꞌ aowas naninani hiani anis sagaꞌma waf afambai.


eng: For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, iꞌi epen owaꞌ nowaloga basef kofagefa ma alop Dembinai ma anin neaꞌ gwaꞌaisi embel dowafa, kofagema epen inimbai atom.


eng: But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

aoj: Apaꞌ hiapai ataꞌ muliꞌ mondowaloga ukupi nomonas apeꞌisi atis ama main, meaꞌ breti embel kap isimba.


eng: Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

aoj: Iꞌi anin epen owaꞌ okom miliꞌ mope andeandeꞌma neaꞌ gwaꞌaisi isimba breti embela kap Dembinaii dowadowaf, anin nandaꞌ waf awafi ma alop paloma esimbel Dembinaii, eaꞌ epen inimba kofagema mopoma anin atin.


eng: For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

aoj: Nimaguf hiafi ipaꞌ pegaꞌ breti kap embel isimba ma, ipaꞌ pewalapa basefa Dembinai nagagaꞌ fetaga alihif fefeꞌ fefeꞌ fetagama nemaf anen nugafiꞌafii.


eng: When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”

aoj: eaꞌ nanifela God nawalota naꞌi, “Amamba alop aeꞌapi, aseꞌepapa agatopalopepaꞌ. Ipaꞌ pendaꞌas eaꞌ naꞌamba atin ukup pendandaꞌma aeꞌ.”


eng: For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.

aoj: Basef ifimba aeꞌ agasiꞌipafi ifimba aeꞌ efaꞌefa Dembinai atona. Ifimba naꞌamba. Owamb ambamba Judas nagasoꞌama Jisas nogafeꞌ lagof amom boumii, ma owamb ambamba Dembinai Jisas nasaꞌma bret


eng: What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.

aoj: Ipaꞌ ifagw akepama pegaꞌ gwaꞌaisi embel mais? O ipaꞌ paꞌi sios amam nematawa Godi isimba awasi falafisi atis, aꞌa? Ipaꞌ paꞌi pendaꞌ anis epes gwaꞌaisi akasi ambagof awagof iwaniguf?

eng: For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.

aoj: Ipaꞌ hipai atona atin paliꞌ ulu ulal paꞌ gwaꞌaisi ipeꞌisi atis. Eaꞌ anin nolomahan nape, a anin daian naꞌ embel wain hiani okom mando molan.

aoj: Endilisi, ipaꞌ pandawawal atin paꞌi waf afamba buꞌwafi ma epes mamahisa sagaila basef endilisii sotaga sondosali alihis? Owaꞌatin endilisi.


eng: For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

eng: But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

aoj: Aeꞌ aꞌi eseꞌepa anin muꞌuli ipaꞌ, apaꞌ aeꞌ ina esaꞌma agof ipeꞌigufi, owaꞌatin. Nogota atamba pandakolas pandaꞌ lotu, dakolas ipeꞌini nahambombagepa.

eng: But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.

aoj: Apaꞌ iꞌi nematawa balagah hopaowa, daoꞌ andeandeꞌ, balagah siꞌi sosaf buꞌwafi awaufi. Deiꞌ main, God atona nasoꞌawa balagah laugahi awo ma hogasoꞌala balagah awaugahi.


eng: Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

aoj: Waf apeꞌifi amam nematawai atef eaꞌ fihimbaꞌmepaꞌ naꞌamba. Iꞌi amam balagah laugahi, isimba sandaꞌam ambagof awagof.


eng: Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

aoj: Deiꞌ ipaꞌ atipa ataꞌ pendawaloga basef ifimba. Iꞌi nematawa owaꞌ opaloꞌ balagah awaugahi ondaꞌ betena Goda, isimba andeandeꞌ aꞌa owaꞌ?


eng: Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

aoj: Apaꞌ magape sisihipama Dembinaii magape naꞌamba. Ina nemataꞌw atoꞌw kope aman akaꞌw o aman atona nope nemataꞌw akana, owaꞌatin.


eng: For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

aoj: God nandaꞌ nemataꞌwa alop amani eaꞌ naꞌamba atin deiꞌ nandaꞌ amam mataga alop nematawai. Apaꞌ God kofagonama hiahaom amamba hiami hiꞌalam.


aoj: God nandaꞌ nemataꞌwa alop amani eaꞌ naꞌama etin deiꞌ nandaꞌ amam mataga alop nematawai. Eaꞌ God ofagonama amamaga amama hiami hiꞌalam.


eng: For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.

eng: For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

aoj: Deiꞌ main, God ina nandaꞌ amana alop nemataꞌwi, owaꞌatin. Anen nandaꞌ nemataꞌwa alop amani.


eng: For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

aoj: Amam owaꞌi mopaloꞌ balagah amamugahia. Deiꞌ main, God nandaꞌ amam mandati siꞌi anen ama mogawalapai banagami mogogalaꞌi ananimi. Apaꞌ nematawa wagawalapai banagami mogogalaꞌi amami.


eng: For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.

aoj: Iꞌi nematawa owaꞌ opaloꞌ balagah awaugahia, awo aꞌ ondatopaꞌagah bandagah. Waf apaꞌ hiapai fagape naꞌamba. Iꞌi ambagof awagofa ogatopaꞌagah bandagah aꞌa ondowagah hiꞌigalagah, apaꞌ maꞌi waf afamba awafi fandaꞌ nematawa ambagof awagufi. Deiꞌ isimba atis andeandeꞌma awo ondopaloꞌagah.


eng: But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

aoj: Eaꞌ nemataꞌw ami wapani Ambal Godi nosaꞌmakwa kugaꞌipasa basef Godi siꞌi profet aꞌa kondabeten ama owaꞌ kopaloꞌ balaga akoꞌugaia, akoꞌw wapani kwandaꞌ ambal waulunamaꞌwi aol. Isimba eaꞌ naꞌamba atin siꞌi kwagando balaga akoꞌugai hiꞌagalaga.

eng: But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

aoj: Deiꞌ aꞌi ipaꞌ pegawa basef ifimba. Agilinai amam hiamii anen Krais atona eaꞌ agilinai akoꞌwanai waulunamaꞌw atona eaꞌ agilinai Kraisi God atona.


eng: Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

aoj: Iꞌi aeꞌ inifela Goda egaꞌas, deiꞌ maina anin epen nesopama aeꞌ ma egaꞌ mafis isimba aganifela Godasi? Naꞌambai aeꞌ andaiwaꞌ.”


eng: Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

eng: But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”

aoj: Apaꞌ iꞌi anin epen niliꞌ niꞌipipa nigaꞌi, “Mafis isimba sondolalima wale basoꞌamunaisi”, daoꞌ ipaꞌ apegawa basef ananifi ina peaꞌas, owaꞌi, hapaisi. Ipaꞌ pindaꞌi uwahipigama epen inimba.


eng: But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.

aoj: Ipaꞌ ina aꞌ ukup pepoma ipaꞌ atipa pindumafuma pepe andeandeꞌ, owaꞌ. Ipaꞌ ukup pendapoma anis daias wapani ma petopalopas sogape andeandeꞌ.


eng: “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

aoj: Ipaꞌ paꞌi, “Andeandeꞌma mondaꞌ hiahaom mamimami hiami.” Isimba endilisi, apaꞌ ina aꞌ amamba hiami matopalopapa, owaꞌatin. Ipaꞌ paꞌi “Andeandeꞌma mondaꞌ hiahaom mamimami hiami.” Apaꞌ ina hiahaom hiami mandaꞌapa mataga banagepa ma hapif, owaꞌatin.

eng: But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.

aoj: Aeꞌ aꞌias aꞌi hiahaom esis sogololama Godi sondolalima wale basoꞌamunai, ina sondolali ma God, owaꞌatin. Aeꞌ andaiwaꞌma ipaꞌ pendakolas pegaloma wale anamba basoꞌamunai, owaꞌi.

aoj: Bret eaꞌ atotota. Amamba mihimbaꞌmapa amam nematawa hiapai mape siꞌi alop atotop. Deiꞌ main, apaꞌ hiapai mandaloma maꞌ bret atotota atamba.


eng: The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?

eng: No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

aoj: Gwamba maina nagatagama ipeꞌi, amamba ina anom daiam, owaꞌatin. Amamba eaꞌ naꞌamba atin siꞌi gwamba hiani nagatagama epes hiasi.
