1 Corinthians 4:6-13

6NowG1161 theseG3778 thingsG3778, brothersG80 and sisters, I have figurativelyG3345 appliedG3345 to myselfG1683 and ApollosG625 onG1223 your accountG1223, soG2443 thatG2443 in us you may learnG3129 not to exceedG5228 1whatG3739 is writtenG1125, soG2443 thatG2443 noG3361 oneG1520 of you will 2become 3arrogantG5448 4inG5228 behalfG5228 of oneG1520 againstG2596 the otherG2087. 7For whoG5101 considersG1252 you asG1252 superiorG1252? 5WhatG5101 do you haveG2192 that you did not receiveG2983? And ifG1487 you did receiveG2983 it, whyG5101 do you boastG2744 as ifG5613 you had not receivedG2983 it?

8You are 6alreadyG2235 filledG2880, you have alreadyG2235 becomeG4147 richG4147, you have becomeG936 kingsG936 withoutG5565 us; and indeedG1065, I wishG3785 that you had becomeG936 kingsG936 soG2443 thatG2443 we alsoG2532 might reignG4821 with you! 9For I thinkG1380, GodG2316 has exhibitedG584 us, the apostlesG652, lastG2078 ofG2078 allG2078 as menG1935 7condemnedG1935 toG1935 deathG1935, becauseG3754 we 8have becomeG1096 a spectacleG2302 to the worldG2889, bothG2532 to angelsG32 and to mankindG444. 10We are 9foolsG3474 on accountG1223 of ChristG5547, but 10you are prudentG5429 in ChristG5547! 11We are weakG772, but you are strongG2478! You are distinguishedG1741, but we are withoutG820 honorG820! 11UpG891 toG891 thisG3588 presentG737 hourG5610 we are bothG2532 12hungryG3983 and thirstyG1372, and are poorlyG1130 clothedG1130 and roughlyG2852 treatedG2852 and homelessG790; 12and we laborG2872, 13workingG2038 with our ownG2398 handsG5495; when we are 14verballyG3058 abusedG3058, we blessG2127; when we are 15persecutedG1377, we endureG430 it; 13when we are slanderedG1426, we 16replyG3870 asG3870 friendsG3870; we have 17becomeG1096 as the scumG4027 of the worldG2889, the dregsG4067 of allG3956 thingsG3956, even untilG2193 nowG737.
