1 Corinthians 4

1LetG3049 a manG444 soG3779 accountG3049 of usG1473, asG5613 of the ministersG5257 of ChristG5547, andG2532 stewardsG3623 of the mysteriesG3466 of GodG2316. 2MoreoverG3063 it is requiredG2212 inG1722 stewardsG3588G3623, thatG2443 a manG5100 be foundG2147 faithfulG4103. 3ButG1161 with meG1473 itG1519 isG1510 a very small thingG1646 thatG2443 I should be judgedG350 ofG5259 youG4771, orG2228 ofG5259 man’sG442 judgmentG2250: yeaG235, I judgeG350 notG3761 mine own selfG1683. 4ForG1063 I knowG4894 nothingG3762 by myselfG1683; yetG235 am IG1344 notG3756 herebyG3778 justifiedG1344: butG1161 heG3588 that judgethG350 meG1473 isG1510 the LordG2962. 5ThereforeG5620 judgeG2919 nothingG3361 beforeG4253 the timeG2540, untilG2193 the LordG3588G2962 comeG2064, whoG3739 bothG2532 will bring to lightG5461 the hidden thingsG2927 of darknessG3588G4655, andG2532 will make manifestG5319 the counselsG3588G1012 of the heartsG3588G2588: andG2532 thenG5119 shallG1096 every manG1538 haveG1096 praiseG3588G1868 ofG575 GodG3588G2316. 6

AndG1161 these thingsG3778, brethrenG80, I have in a figure transferredG3345 toG1519 myselfG1683 andG2532 to ApollosG625 forG1223 your sakesG4771; thatG2443 ye might learnG3129 inG1722 usG1473 notG3361 to thinkG5426 of men aboveG5228 that whichG3739 is writtenG1125, thatG2443 noG3361 oneG1520 of you be puffed upG5448 forG5228 oneG1520 againstG2596 anotherG2087. 7ForG1063 whoG5101 makethG1252 theeG4771 to differG1252 from another? andG1161 whatG5101 hast thouG2192 thatG3739 thou didstG2983 notG3756 receiveG2983? nowG1161 ifG1487 thou didst receiveG2983 it, whyG5101 dost thou gloryG2744, as ifG5613 thou hadstG2983 notG3361 receivedG2983 it?

8NowG2235 ye areG1510 fullG2880, nowG2235 ye are richG4147, ye have reigned as kingsG936 withoutG5565 usG1473: andG2532 I would to GodG3785 ye did reignG936, thatG2443 weG1473 alsoG2532 might reignG4821 with youG4771. 9ForG1063 I thinkG1380 thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 hath set forthG584 usG1473 the apostlesG3588G652 lastG2078, as it wereG5613 appointed to deathG1935: forG3754 we are madeG1096 a spectacleG2302 unto the worldG3588G2889, andG2532 to angelsG32, andG2532 to menG444. 10WeG1473 are foolsG3474 forG1223 Christ’s sakeG5547, butG1161 yeG4771 are wiseG5429 inG1722 ChristG5547; weG1473 are weakG772, butG1161 yeG4771 are strongG2478; yeG4771 are honourableG1741, butG1161 weG1473 are despisedG820. 11Even untoG891 this presentG737 hourG5610 weG3983 bothG2532 hungerG3983, andG2532 thirstG1372, andG2532 are nakedG1130, andG2532 are buffetedG2852, andG2532 have no certain dwellingplaceG790; 12AndG2532 labourG2872, workingG2038 with our ownG2398 handsG5495: being reviledG3058, we blessG2127; being persecutedG1377, we suffer itG430: 13Being defamedG987, we intreatG3870: we are madeG1096 asG5613 the filthG4027 of the worldG3588G2889, and are the offscouringG4067 of all thingsG3956 untoG2193 this dayG737.

14I writeG1125 notG3756 these thingsG3778 to shameG1788 youG4771, butG235 asG5613 myG1473 belovedG27 sonsG5043 I warnG3560 you. 15ForG1063 thoughG1437 ye haveG2192 ten thousandG3463 instructorsG3807 inG1722 ChristG5547, yetG235 have ye notG3756 manyG4183 fathersG3962: forG1063 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 IG1473 have begottenG1080 youG4771 throughG1223 the gospelG3588G2098. 16WhereforeG3767 I beseechG3870 youG4771, be yeG1096 followersG3402 of meG1473.

17ForG1223 this causeG3778 have I sentG3992 unto youG4771 TimothyG5095, whoG3739 isG1510 myG1473 belovedG27 sonG5043, andG2532 faithfulG4103 inG1722 the LordG2962, whoG3739 shall bringG363 youG4771 into remembranceG363 of myG1473 waysG3588G3598 which beG3588 inG1722 ChristG5547, asG2531 I teachG1321 every whereG3837 inG1722 everyG3956 AssemblyG1577. 18NowG1161 someG5100 are puffed upG5448, as thoughG5613 IG1473 wouldG2064 notG3361 comeG2064 toG4314 youG4771. 19ButG1161 I will comeG2064 toG4314 youG4771 shortlyG5030, ifG1437 the LordG3588G2962 willG2309, andG2532 will knowG1097, notG3756 the speechG3588G3056 of them whichG3588 are puffed upG5448, butG235 the powerG3588G1411. 20ForG1063 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 is notG3756 inG1722 wordG3056, butG235 inG1722 powerG1411. 21WhatG5101 will yeG2309? shall I comeG2064 untoG4314 youG4771 withG1722 a rodG4464, orG2228 inG1722 loveG26, andG5037 in the spiritG4151 of meeknessG4240?
