1 Corinthians 3
1 And as for myself, brethren, I found it impossible to speak to you as spiritual men. It had to be as to worldlings--mere babes in Christ.
E eu, irmãos, não vos pude fallar como a espirituaes, mas como a carnaes, como a meninos em Christo.
2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food, since for this you were not yet strong enough. And even now you are not strong enough:
Com leite vos criei, e não com manjar, porque ainda não podieis, nem tão pouco ainda agora podeis;
3 you are still unspiritual. For so long as jealousy and strife continue among you, can it be denied that you are unspiritual and are living and acting like mere men of the world?
Porque ainda sois carnaes: pois, havendo entre vós inveja, contendas e dissensões, não sois porventura carnaes, e não andaes segundo os homens?
4 For when some one says, "I belong to Paul," and another says, "I belong to Apollos," is not this the way men of the world speak?
Porque, dizendo um: Eu sou de Paulo; e outro: Eu de Apollos: porventura não sois carnaes?
5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are just God's servants, through whose efforts, and as the Lord granted power to each, you accepted the faith.
Pois quem é Paulo, e quem é Apollos, senão ministros pelos quaes crêstes, e conforme o que o Senhor deu a cada um?
6 I planted and Apollos watered; but it was God who was, all the time, giving the increase.
Eu plantei; Apollos regou; mas Deus deu o crescimento.
7 So that neither the planter nor the waterer is of any importance. God who gives the increase is all in all.
Pelo que, nem o que planta é alguma coisa, nem o que rega, mas Deus, que dá o crescimento.
8 Now in aim and purpose the planter and the waterer are one; and yet each will receive his own special reward, answering to his own special work.
E o que planta e o que rega são um; mas cada um receberá o seu galardão segundo o seu trabalho.
9 Apollos and I are simply fellow workers for and with God, and you are God's field-- God's building.
Porque nós somos cooperadores de Deus: vós sois lavoura de Deus e edificio de Deus.
10 In discharge of the task which God graciously entrusted to me, I--like a competent master-builder--have laid a foundation, and others are building upon it. But let every one be careful how and what he builds.
Segundo a graça de Deus que me foi dada, puz eu, como sabio architecto, o fundamento, e outro edifica sobre elle; mas veja cada um como edifica sobre elle.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation in addition to that which is already laid, namely Jesus Christ.
Porque ninguem pode pôr outro fundamento, além do que já está posto, o qual é Jesus Christo.
12 And whether the building which any one is erecting on that foundation be of gold or silver or costly stones, of timber or hay or straw--
E, se alguem sobre este fundamento edificar oiro, prata, pedras preciosas, madeira, feno, palha,
13 the true character of each individual's work will become manifest. For the day of Christ will disclose it, because that day is soon to come upon us clothed in fire, and as for the quality of every one's work-- the fire is the thing which will test it.
A obra de cada um se manifestará; porque o dia a declarará, porquanto pelo fogo será descoberta; e o fogo provará qual seja a obra de cada um.
14 If any one's work--the building which he has erected--stands the test, he will be rewarded.
Se a obra d'alguem, que edificou sobre elle, permanecer, esse receberá galardão.
15 If any one's work is burnt up, he will suffer the loss of it; yet he will himself be rescued, but only, as it were, by passing through the fire.
Se a obra d'alguem se queimar, soffrerá detrimento; porém o tal será salvo, todavia como pelo fogo.
16 Do you not know that you are God's Sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God has His home within you?
Não sabeis vós que sois o templo de Deus, e que o Espirito de Deus habita em vós?
17 If any one is marring the Sanctuary of God, him will God mar; for the Sanctuary of God is holy, which you all are.
Se alguem destruir o templo de Deus, Deus o destruirá; porque o templo de Deus, que sois vós, é sancto.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any man imagines that he is wise, compared with the rest of you, with the wisdom of the present age, let him become "foolish" so that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
Ninguem se engane a si mesmo: se alguem d'entre vós se tem por sabio n'este mundo, faça-se louco para ser sabio. (aiōn g165)
19 This world's wisdom is "foolishness" in God's sight; for it is written, "He snares the wise with their own cunning."
Porque a sabedoria d'este mundo é loucura diante de Deus; porque está escripto: Elle apanha os sabios na sua propria astucia.
20 And again, "The Lord takes knowledge of the reasonings of the wise--how useless they are."
E outra vez: O Senhor conhece os pensamentos dos sabios, que são vãos.
21 Therefore let no one boast about his human teachers.
Portanto ninguem se glorie nos homens; porque tudo é vosso;
22 For everything belongs to you--be it Paul or Apollos or Peter, the world or life or death, things present or future--everything belongs to you;
Seja Paulo, seja Apollos, seja Cephas, seja o mundo, seja a vida, seja a morte, seja o presente, seja o futuro, tudo é vosso,
23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
E vós de Christo, e Christo de Deus.
