  Sura toi ngkai aku' Paulus, pai' ngkai Sostenes, kipakatu tilou hi koi' to Kristen hi Korintus, to nakio' Alata'ala jadi' bagia-na. Napomoroli' -mokoi hi posidaia' -ni hante Kristus Yesus, hangkaa-ngkania hante hawe'ea tauna ba hiapa-apa to mekakae hi Yesus Kristus, Pue' -ta pai' Pue' -ra. Aku' mpo'uki' sura toi, apa' lawi' na'ongko' -ama Alata'ala jadi' suro Yesus Kristus ntuku' konoa-na.  

-

  Wori' tabe: mekakae-a hi Alata'ala Tuama-ta pai' hi Pue' Yesus Kristus, bona nagane' -koi ngkai kabula rala-na pai' nawai' -koi kalompea' tuwu'.  

-

  Uma-a putu mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala sabana koi' ompi', apa' Alata'ala mpowai' -koi rasi' ngkai kabula rala-na, hi posidaia' -ni hante Kristus Yesus.  

-

  Hi posidaia' -ni hante Kristus, nawai' -mokoi butu nyala-na to niparaluu: nawai' -koi kapantea mololita, pai' nawai' -koi kanotoa nono mpakanoto Lolita-na.  

-

  Hawe'ea toe mpakanoto kamoroho-na mpu'u-mi pepangala' -ni hi Kareba Kristus to kiparata-kokoi,  

-

  duu' -na uma-pokoi nakakurai' rasi', mporata-mokoi butu nyala pakulea' ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', pai' -koi mpopea karata-na nculii' Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus.  

-

  Narohoi-koi duu' hi ka'omea dunia', bona ane rata-ipi nculii' Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus, narata-koi hante uma ria kasalaia' -ni.  

-

  Alata'ala mpokio' -koi bona hintuwu' -koi hangkaa-ngkania hante Ana' -na, Yesus Kristus Pue' -ta, pai' napadupa' oa' janci-na hi kita'.  

-

  ¶ Ompi' -ompi', hante kuasa to nawai' -ka Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus, merapi' -a bona hintuwu' -koi omea. Neo' ria posisalaa. Hintuwu' -koi hi rala mpololitai ba napa-napa to nilolita, hanono pai' hahawa' lau.  

-

  Ompi' -ompi' -ku, patuju-ku mpo'uli' hewa toe, apa' ria-ra ompi' -ta ngkai ihi' tomi Kloe to mpokewo-ka karia-na pomehonoa' -ni.  

-

  To ku'uli' tohe'i, apa' ria-koi to doko' mopahamalia hi hore-hore hadua tauna. Ria-koi to mpo'uli': "Aku' tono' hi Paulus-a-kuna." Ria to mpo'uli': "Aku' tono' hi Apolos-a." To ntani' -na wo'o mpo'uli': "Aku' tono' hi Petrus." To ntani' -na tena mpo'uli': "Aku' tono' hi Kristus."  

-

  Ha lompe' -koina, koi' to mpotuku' Kristus tebagi-bagi hewa tetu-e? Ha aku' to mate raparika' mpotolo' jeko' -nie? Ha raniu' bona jadi' topetuku' -kukoi?  

-

  ¶ Rasi' -di ku'uli' -e apa' uma-koi ria to kuniu', ntani' -na ngkai Krispus pai' Gayus,  

-

  bona neo' mpai' ria to mpo'uli' kuniu' -koi jadi' topetuku' -ku.  

-

  (Io' mpu'u. Stefanus hantinaa-ra, aku' mpu'u-hana to mponiu' -ra. Aga ntani' -na ngkai hira' toe, uma-pi kukiwoi ba ria-ra to kuniu'.)  

-

  ¶ Kristus mpajadi' -a suro-na, uma bona mponiu' tauna. Nasuro-a mpokeni Kareba Lompe'. Ane kuparata Kareba Lompe' toe, uma kupake' kapantea-ku moto mololita. Nee-neo' mpai' tauna mpangala' -a muntu' ngkai kapantea-ku, pai' uma ra'incai baraka' kamate-na Kristus hi kaju parika'.  

-

  Kiparata kareba to mpo'uli' kamate-na Kristus hi kaju parika' mpotolo' jeko' manusia'. Ane tauna to mpotoa' naraka mpo'epe kareba toe, ra'uli': "Ah, lolita tauna to wojo tetu." Aga ane kita' to nahore-mi Alata'ala ngkai huku' jeko' -ta, ane ta'epe kareba toe, ta'uli': "Bate baraka' Alata'ala tetu-e!"  

-

  Hi rala Buku Tomoroli' Alata'ala mpo'uli': Nau' hewa apa-mi kapante-ra manusia', kudagi oa' -ra, pai' uma kusaile' akala-ra topo'akala."  

-

  Napa kalaua-ra tauna to pante? Napa kalaua-ra guru agama Yahudi? Napa kalaua-ra tauna to pante mololita hi rala dunia' toi? Hi poncilo Alata'ala, kapantea manusia' kawojoa omea-wadi.  

-

  Apa' nau' hewa apa kapantea-ra manusia', uma ra'incai Alata'ala hante kapantea-ra toe. Apa' ntuku' kanoto nono-na Alata'ala, nabotuhi bona hema-hema to mepangala' hi Kareba Lompe', nahore-ra ngkai huku' jeko' -ra. Tapi' ane kiparata Kareba Lompe', tauna to uma mepangala' mpo'uli': "Lolita tauna to wojo tetu."  

-

  To Yahudi, uma-ra dota mepangala' ane uma kipopohiloi-ra tanda mekoncehi. Hiaa' to Yunani-hawo, uma-ra dota mepangala' ane uma kipakanoto-raka hante kapantea manusia'.  

-

  Tapi' kai' mpopalele kamate-na Kristus raparika'. Lolita tohe'i rapodaa' to Yahudi, pai' rapakiwojo tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi.  

-

  Tapi' Alata'ala mpokio' tauna hantongo' jadi' bagia-na. Ria-ra to Yahudi, ria-ra to Yunani. Ane tauna toera mpo'epe Kareba Lompe' pai' -ra mepangala' hi Kristus, ra'inca-mi kabaraka' pai' kanoto nono-na Alata'ala.  

-

  Ane mpopalele-kai kamate-na Kristus raparika', kai' rapakiwojo manusia'. Aga kakoo-kono-na, meliu kapante-na Alata'ala ngkai kapante-ra manusia'. Manusia' mpo'uli' napa to nababehi Alata'ala toe uma ria kabaraka' -na. Aga meliu kabaraka' -na Alata'ala ngkai baraka' manusia'.  

-

  Ompi' -ompi', kiwoi tuwu' -ni kako'ia-na nakio' -koi Alata'ala jadi' bagia-na: uma-koi wori' to pante ba to mokuasa ba to tuwu' maradika hi poncilo manusia'.  

-

  Apa' natungkai' Alata'ala mpelihi tauna to wojo hi poncilo manusia', bona tauna to pante jadi' me'ea'. Napelihi-ra to lente, bona tauna to moroho jadi' me'ea'.  

-

  Napelihi-ra to dingki' katuwu' -ra, to raruge' pai' to uma ria kalaua-ra hi poncilo manusia', bona monoto-mi ka'uma-na ria kalaua-na hawe'ea to ra'une' manusia'.  

-

  Jadi', toe pai' uma ria huraa manusia' mpomolangko nono-ra. Uma ria haduaa to ma'ala mpo'uli': "Ngkai kapantea-ku pai' -a napelihi Alata'ala."  

-

  Muntu' ngkai Alata'ala-hanale pai' -ta mosidai' hante Kristus Yesus-e. Ngkai Kristus Yesus, ta'inca-mi kanoto nono-na Alata'ala: Hi'a-mi to mpomonoa' -ta hi poncilo Alata'ala, napomoroli' -ta jadi' bagia-na, pai' nabahaka-ta ngkai hawe'ea to dada'a.  

-

  Jadi', hewa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli': "Hema to doko' bohe nono-ra, kana mpomobohe-ra napa to nababehi Pue'."
