1 Corinthians 4:6-13

6

BrothersG80, I have appliedG3345 these thingsG3778 toG1519 myselfG1683 andG2532 ApollosG625 for your benefitG1223G4771, so thatG2443 you may learnG3129 fromG1722 usG1473 notG3361 to go beyondG5228 whatG3739 is writtenG1125. ThenG2443 you will not take prideG3361G1520G5448 inG5228 oneG1520 man overG2596 anotherG3588G2087. 7ForG1063 whoG5101 makes you so superiorG1252G4771? WhatG5101 do you haveG2192 thatG3739 you did not receiveG3756G2983? AndG1161 ifG1487 you did receiveG2532G2983 it, whyG5101 do you boastG2744 as thoughG5613 you did not?

8AlreadyG2235 you have all you wantG1510G2880. AlreadyG2235 you have become richG4147. WithoutG5565 usG1473, you have become kingsG936. How I wishG3785 you really were kingsG1065G936, so thatG2443 weG1473 might be kings withG4821 youG4771! 9ForG1063 it seems to meG1380 thatG3588 GodG2316 has displayedG584 usG1473 apostlesG652 at the endG2078 of the procession, likeG5613 prisoners appointed for deathG1935. We have becomeG1096 a spectacleG2302 to theG3588 whole worldG2889, to angelsG32 as well asG2532 to menG444.

10WeG1473 are foolsG3474 forG1223 ChristG5547, butG1161 youG4771 are wiseG5429 inG1722 ChristG5547. WeG1473 are weakG772, butG1161 youG4771 are strongG2478. YouG4771 are honoredG1741, butG1161 weG1473 are dishonoredG820. 11ToG891 this veryG737 hourG5610 we are hungryG3983 andG2532 thirstyG1372, we are poorly clothedG1130, we are brutally treatedG2852, we are homelessG790. 12We work hardG2872G2038 withG3588 our ownG2398 handsG5495. When we are vilifiedG3058, we blessG2127; when we are persecutedG1377, we endureG430 it; 13when we are slanderedG1426, we answer gentlyG3870. Up toG2193 this momentG737 we have becomeG1096 the scumG4027 of theG3588 earthG2889, the refuseG4067 ofG3956 the world.
