1 Corinthians 4
Maori Bible
4 Me penei i te whakaaro o te tangata ki a matou na, he kaimahi na te Karaiti, he tuari hoki no nga mea ngaro a te Atua.
2 Na hei konei ko te mea o te tuari e matenuitia ana, kia kitea he tangata pono ia.
3 Ki ahau ia he mea nohinohi rawa kia whai kupu koutou moku, te tangata ranei; kahore nei hoki aku kupu moku ano.
4 Kahore hoki ahau i matau ki tetahi aha oku; heoi e kore tena e ai hei whakatika moku: otira ko te Ariki hei whai kupu moku.
5 Na reira kaua e whakawakia wawetia tetahi mea, kia tae mai ra ano te Ariki, mana e whakamarama nga mea huna o te pouri, e whakakite hoki nga whakaaro o nga ngakau; hei reira ia tangata whakamoemititia ai e te Atua.
6 Na ko enei mea, e oku teina, naku i huri mai te ahua ki a maua ko Aporo, he whakaaro ki a koutou: kia ai maua hei whakaako i a koutou, kia kaua te whakaaro e hipa atu i te mea i tuhituhia; kia kaua tetahi o koutou e whakapehapeha mo tetahi ki run ga atu i tetahi.
7 Ko wai kei te mea kia rere ke koe? ko tehea mea hoki au ehara i te mea hoatu ki a koe? Na he mea i hoatu ki a koe, he aha koe ka whakamanamana ai, me te mea nei ehara i te mea hoatu?
8 Kua makona ke na hoki koutou, kua hua ke o koutou taonga, kua kingi koutou ahakoa motu mai matou: ae ra, e pai ana ki ahau kia kingi tonu koutou, kia kingi tahi ai tatou.
9 Ki toku whakaaro hoki kua waiho matou, nga apotoro, e te Atua mo muri rawa, ano he hunga mo te mate: kua meinga hoki matou hei matakitakinga ma te ao, ma nga anahera, a ma nga tangata.
10 Ko matou he kuware mo ta te Karaiti, ko koutou ia he hunga whai whakaaro i roto i a te Karaiti; ko matou he ngoikore, ko koutou ia he hunga kaha; to koutou he kororia, to matou ia he honorekore.
11 Tae tonu mai ki tenei haora nei e matekai ana matou, e matewai ana, e haere tahanga ana, e kurua ana, kahore hoki o matou kainga tumau:
12 E mauiui ana matou, ko o matou ringa ake hei mahi: e taunutia ana, manaaki tonu matou; e whakatoia ana, whakaririka kau matou:
13 Ka korerotia kinotia, ka whakangawari atu matou: kua meinga matou kia rite ki te paru rukenga o te ao, ki te para o nga mea katoa, taea noatia tenei ra.
14 Kahore ahau i te tuhituhi atu i enei mea kia whakama ai koutou, engari hei whakatupato i a koutou, i aku tamariki aroha.
15 No te mea ahakoa whiwhi koutou i nga kaiwhakaako tekau mano i roto i a te Karaiti, kahore i tokomaha o koutou matua; he whanau hoki koutou naku i roto i a Karaiti Ihu i runga i te rongopai.
16 Koia ahau ka tohe nei ki a koutou, kia rite ta koutou ki taku.
17 Na reira i tonoa atu ai e ahau ki a koutou a Timoti, taku tama aroha, tama pono i roto i te Ariki, mana koutou e whakamahara ki oku ara i roto i a te Karaiti, ki taku e whakaako nei i nga wahi katoa i roto i nga hahi katoa.
18 Na ko etahi e whakapehapeha ana, e mea ana e kore ahau e haere atu ki a koutou.
19 Otira e kore e roa ka haere atu ahau ki a koutou, ki te pai te Ariki; a hei reira, ehara i te kupu, engari ko te kaha o te hunga e whakapehapeha ana, taku e titiro ai.
20 No te mea ehara te rangatiratanga o te Atua i te kupu, engari he kaha.
21 Ko tehea ta koutou e pai ai? kia haere atu ahau ki a koutou me te whiu, i runga ranei i te aroha me te wairua mahaki?

The Nature of True Apostleship
4 This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants(A) of Christ and as those entrusted(B) with the mysteries(C) God has revealed. 2 Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience(D) is clear, but that does not make me innocent.(E) It is the Lord who judges me.(F) 5 Therefore judge nothing(G) before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.(H) He will bring to light(I) what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.(J)
6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.”(K) Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.(L) 7 For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive?(M) And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich!(N) You have begun to reign—and that without us! How I wish that you really had begun to reign so that we also might reign with you! 9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die(O) in the arena. We have been made a spectacle(P) to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. 10 We are fools for Christ,(Q) but you are so wise in Christ!(R) We are weak, but you are strong!(S) You are honored, we are dishonored! 11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.(T) 12 We work hard with our own hands.(U) When we are cursed, we bless;(V) when we are persecuted,(W) we endure it; 13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage(X) of the world—right up to this moment.
Paul’s Appeal and Warning
14 I am writing this not to shame you(Y) but to warn you as my dear children.(Z) 15 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father(AA) through the gospel.(AB) 16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.(AC) 17 For this reason I have sent to you(AD) Timothy,(AE) my son(AF) whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.(AG)
18 Some of you have become arrogant,(AH) as if I were not coming to you.(AI) 19 But I will come to you very soon,(AJ) if the Lord is willing,(AK) and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. 20 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of(AL) talk but of power.(AM) 21 What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline,(AN) or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?
