Edi oto mfɔn Abasi ndi se ndedi: ndien mfɔn emi Abasi ɔnɔde mi ikɔwɔrɔke ikpikpu; edi mmanam utom ŋkan mmɔ kpukpru; inyuŋ idige ami nnam, edi mfɔn Abasi eke odude ye ami anam.
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
