The First Letter Da Paul Write to the Corinthians

12 My brother dem, I want yor to know about the thing dem* da God spirit can make us to do. 2 Before yor accept the good news, yor use to worship false god dem da can’t talk, and yor use to do anything they wanted yor to do. 3 I want yor to know da anybody who God spirit directing will not say: “Swear on Jesus!” And nobody can say: “Jesus da Lord!” except holy spirit directing da person.

4 They get different-different gifts, but da the same spirit can give them. 5 When we serving God, we can do different-different work dem, but all this work dem for the same Lord. 6 And people get different-different thing dem they can do, but da the same God who can give everybody the strength to do this thing dem. 7 But other people can see what the spirit help them to do, and God give it to them to benefit people. 8 The spirit can make somebody to say thing dem da make sense. And the same spirit can make another person to say something da the spirit make him to know. 9 The same spirit can make another person to get faith, and da same spirit can help another person to heal sick people. 10 Da same spirit can make another person to perform miracles, and it can make another person to talk about God message. Also, the spirit can help another person to understand whether the message coming from God. And it can help another person to speak different-different language dem. Also, it can help another person to translate different-different language dem. 11 Da this same spirit can do all this thing dem. The spirit can make each person to be able to do this thing dem in line with what God* want.

12 Human being body get plenty parts, but da only one body. And even though all the parts on the body plenty, da only one body. Da the same way Christ congregation* looking. 13 All of us wor baptize by the same spirit to be one body. Whether we Jews or we Greek people, whether we slaves or we free people, all of us receive one spirit.

14 To talk the truth, da not only one part the body get but it get plenty parts. 15 If the foot say, “Because I not hand, so I not part of the body,” da one will not make it to not be part of the body. 16 And if the ear say, “Because I not eye, I not part of the body,” da one will not make it to not be part of the body. 17 If the whole body wor eyeball, how somebody will hear? And if the whole body da wor ear, how somebody will smell? 18 But God na put all the body part dem together the way he want it to be.

19 If all the part dem wor the same, then where place the body will be? 20 So the body get plenty parts, but only one body. 21 The eyeball can’t tell the hand say, “I not need you,” or, the head can’t tell the foot say, “I not need you.” 22 But the part dem on the body da can be looking like they not important, they important. 23 The part dem on the body da we can think say they not fine, we can take care of them good-good. So we can treat this body part dem with more respect. 24 But the part dem on our body da really fine not need anything. God put the part dem on the body together so da we can give more attention* to the one dem da need it. 25 He do this one so the body can be united. He also do it so the part dem on the body can take care of each other. 26 If one part on the body suffer, all the other part dem can suffer with it. Or if one part on the body get honor, all the other part dem can be happy with it.

27 So yor Christ body, and each of yor da part on da body. 28 God na give each person something to do in the congregation. First, he made some people apostles. Second, he made some people prophets and third, he made some people teachers. Then he made some people to perform miracles, and he made some people to heal sick people. He also made some people to help other people. He made some people to give direction, and he made some people to be able to speak different-different language dem. 29 Da not all of them apostles, or prophets or teacher, ehn da true? Da not all of them can perform miracles, ehn da true? 30 Da not all of them able to heal sick people, ehn da true? Da not all of them able to speak different-different language dem, ehn da true? And da not all of them able to translate the different-different language dem, ehn da true? 31 But yor continue trying your best to get the gift dem da more important pass all the other gift dem. But now I will show yor the best way to live.
