3 1Abale, Ine nee ndakwanisa kulonga na imwe ninga anthu a Nzimu, mbwenye ninga anthu a nyama—ana ang'ono mwa Kirixtu. 2Ndakupasani nkaka, tayu cakudya cakuwanga, thangwi mukhali dzololo tayu. Ngakhalembo cincino, imwe muciri dzololo tayu. 3Imwe muciri a nyama. Thangwi njiru na kupikana piri pakati panu, kodi nee ndimwe a nyama, mukakhala mwa njira ya anthu? 4Thangwi m'bodzi angalonga kuti: “Ine ndisatowera Paulu,” unango: “Ine ndisatowera Apolo,” kodi nee mukucita ninga anthu basi?
5Na tenepo, Apolo ndi ani? Paulu ndi ani? Ndi atumiki adakhulupira imwe kubulukira mwa iwo, m'bodzi na m'bodzi ninga Mbuya adampasa basa. 6Ine ndabzwala, Apolo athirira madzi, mbwenye Baba wathu ndiye adacitisa kuti pikule. 7Na tenepo, nyakubzwala na nyakuthirira madzi si cinthu—Baba wathu ekha basi, ule anacitisa kuti pikule. 8Nyakubzwala na nyakuthirira madzi ndi m'bodzi; m'bodzi na m'bodzi anadzatambira muoni wace thangwi ya basa yace. 9Thangwi ife ndife anyabasa pabodzi na Baba wathu; imwe ndimwe munda wace, na nyumba yace.
10Mukukoma ntima kudandipasa Baba wathu, Ine ndaika nsindiro ninga nyakumanga nkulu wa ndzeru, na unango asamanga padzulu pace. Mbalisamalire m'bodzi na m'bodzi kuti asamanga tani padzulu pace. 11Thangwi nkhabe munthu anakwanisa kuika nsindiro unango, kusiyapo ule udaikwa kale, ule ndi Yezu Kirixtu. 12Cincino, munthu angamanga padzulu pa nsindiro na ouro, parata, miyala ya ntengo ukulu, matabwa, uswa, peno mapesi, 13basa ya m'bodzi na m'bodzi inadzaoneka pakweca, thangwi Ntsiku inadzaibulusa, thangwi moto unaibulusa, na moto unoweneyu unadzayesa basa ya m'bodzi na m'bodzi kuti ndi ya ntundu wanji. 14Basa idamanga munthu ingasala, iye anadzatambira muoni. 15Basa ya munthu ingapya, iye anadzaluza—mbwenye iye ene anadzapulumuswa, mbwenye ninga munthu anapita na pakati pa moto.
16Kodi imwe nkhabe kudziwa kuti ndimwe templo ya Baba wathu, na kuti Nzimu wa Baba wathu usakhala mwa imwe? 17Munthu angafudza templo ya Baba wathu, Baba wathu anadzamfudza iye. Thangwi templo ya Baba wathu ndi yakucena, na templo ineneyi ndimwe imwe.
18Munthu nkhabe kupumbisa iye ekha. Pakati panu, munthu anganyerezera kuti ndi waundzeru mu ndzidzi uno, mbakhale wakupusa, toera akhale waundzeru. 19Thangwi undzeru wa dziko ino ndi upswiru pamaso pa Baba wathu. Thangwi Malemba asalonga kuti: “Iye asaphata anyandzeru mu mano awo,” 20pontho asalonga kuti: “Baba wathu asadziwa manyerezero a anyandzeru, kuti ndi apezi.” 21Na tenepo, munthu nkhabe kudzikuza thangwi ya anthu. Thangwi pinthu pyonsene ndi pyanu, 22peno Paulu, peno Apolo, peno Kefa, peno dziko, peno umaso, peno kufa, peno pinthu pya cincino, peno pinthu pinadza—pyonsene ndi pyanu, 23na imwe ndimwe a Kirixtu, na Kirixtu ndi wa Baba wathu.
