1 Corinthians 4:9-21

9For, I thinkG1380, GodG2316 hath set forth us the apostlesG652 lastG2078 of all, as menG444 doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the worldG2889, both to angelsG32 and menG444. 10We are fools for Christ’s sakeG1223, but ye are wiseG5429 in ChristG5547; we are weakG772, but ye are strongG2478; ye have glory, but we have dishonor. 11EvenG2532 unto this presentG737 hourG5610 we both hungerG3983, and thirstG1372, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place; 12and we toilG2872, working with our ownG2398 handsG5495: being reviled, we blessG2127; being persecutedG1377, we endureG430; 13being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the worldG2889, the offscouring of all thingsG3956, even until nowG737.

14I writeG1125 not these thingsG3778 to shame you, but to admonishG3560 you as my belovedG27 childrenG5043. 15For though ye have tenG3463 thousandG3463 tutors in ChristG5547, yetG235 have ye not manyG4183 fathersG3962; for in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 I begat you through the gospelG2098. 16I beseech you thereforeG3767, be ye imitatorsG3402 of me. 17For this cause have I sentG3992 unto you TimothyG5095, who isG1510 my belovedG27 and faithfulG4103 childG5043 in the LordG2962, who shall putG3992 you in remembrance of my waysG3598 which areG1510 in ChristG5547, evenG2532 as I teachG1321 everywhereG3837 in every churchG1577. 18NowG1161 some are puffed up, as though I were not comingG2064 to you. 19But I will comeG2064 to you shortly, if the LordG2962 will; and I will knowG1097, not the wordG3056 of them that are puffed up, but the powerG1411. 20For the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is not in wordG3056, but in powerG1411. 21What will ye? shall I comeG2064 unto you with a rodG4464, or in loveG26 and a spiritG4151 of gentlenessG4240?
