4 Amwe mukute kwambeti, “Mulakonkelenga Paulo,” Banenu bakute kwambeti, “Balakonkelenga Apolo,” Sena mwapusana ne bantu bulyo?
5 Inga Apolo niyani? Paulo niyani? Twense tobasebenshi ba Lesa balamubonesha nshila ya kushoma muli Yesu Klistu. Uliyense lasebensenga ncito Mwami njalamupa.
6 Ame ndalabyala mbuto isho nshaletilila menshi Apolo, nsombi Lesa ewalashikulisha.
7 Mulabono kwambeti shikubyala ne shikwitilila menshi paliya ncobabelepo, nsombi Lesa eukute kushikulisha.
8 Neco paliya kupusana pakati pali shikubyala ne shikwitilila menshi, pakwinga Lesa nakape cilambo muntu uliyense kwelana nencito njalikwinsa.
9 Afwe tobasebenshi ba Lesa, amwe njamwe libala lyakendi, kayi njamwe ng'anda ya Lesa.
10 Kupitila munkumbo nshalampa Lesa, ame pakuba shikwibaka wabuya ndalemba ne kubamba cena pakwibaka kwambeti naumbi muntu aibakepo, nsombi uliyense acenjele mwalebakilinga.

12 Palulindi apo patalwa muntu ngawibakapo ne mabwe a golide nambi asilifa nambi mabwe abeka beka nambi bitondo nambi mwila nambi ne matete.
13 Nomba pabusuba bwakwisa Klistu, incito sha muntu uliyense nishikabonekele, pabusuba ubo mulilo nukayubulule incito isho patuba tuu! Uwo mulilo nukelekeshe mushobo wa ncito shamuntu uliyense.

15 Lino na incito sha muntu shikapye ne mulilo okwambeti nendi nakataikilwe byonse, nomba kupuluka kwa muntuyu nikukabeti layokolwa mumulilo.
16 Sena nkamucishi kwambeti njamwe ng'anda ya Lesa, kayi Mushimu wakendi ukute kwikala mulijamwe?
17 Neco na muntu wononga ng'anda, ya Lesa nendi Lesa, nakamononge muntuyo, pakwinga ng'anda ya Lesa yaswepa kayi ng'andeyo njamwe.
18 Kamutalibepanga, napali muntu lalibonongeti ukute mano mubwikalo bwa pano pacishi capanshi, kabani muluya, kwambeti abe wamano ancine ncine. (aiōn )
19 Kuli Lesa, mano apano pacishi capanshi nabulyo, pakwinga Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Lesa ukute kubekata bamano mubumaluku bwabo.”
20 Kayi Mabala alambangeti, “Mwami ucinsheti manjeyaulwa abantu bamano nabulyo.”
21 Neco muntu katalitunta pacebo ca bantu banendi, pakwinga bintu byonse nibyenu.
22 Nambi Paulo nambi Apolo nambi Petulo nambi cishi capanshici ne buyumi nambi lufu nambi bintu bilipo lelo kayi ne bintu byeti bikese kuntangu byonse nibyenu.
23 Nomba nenjamwe mobakendi Klistu, nendi Klistu niwa Lesa.
