| Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 As a matter of fact, my friends, I could not talk to you as I talk to people who have the Spirit; I had to talk to you as though you belonged to this world, as children in the Christian faith. | 1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly--mere infants in Christ. |
