1 Corinthians 4:9-21

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?
