1 Corinthians 4

1Let^G3049 a man^G444 so^G3779 account^G3049 of us^G2248, as^G5613 of ministers^G5257 of Christ^G5547, and^G2532 stewards^G3623 of the mysteries^G3466 of God^G2316. 2Here, moreover^G3063, it is required^G2212 in^G1722 stewards^G3623, that^G2443 a man^G5100 be found^G2147 faithful^G4103. 3But^G1161 with me^G1698 it^G1519 is^G2076 a very small thing^G1646 that^G2443 I should be judged^G350 of^G5259 you^G5216, or^G2228 of^G5259 man's^G442 judgment^G2250: yea^G235, I judge^G350 not^G3761 mine own self^G1683. 4For^G1063 I know^G4894 nothing^G3762 against myself^G1683; yet^G235 am I^G1344 not^G3756 hereby^G5129 justified^G1344: but^G1161 he^G3588 that judgeth^G350 me^G3165 is^G2076 the Lord^G2962. 5Wherefore^G5620 judge^G2919 nothing^G3361 before^G4253 the time^G2540, until^G2193 the Lord^G2962 come^G2064, who^G3739 will both^G2532 bring to light^G5461 the hidden things^G2927 of darkness^G4655, and^G2532 make manifest^G5319 the counsels^G1012 of the hearts^G2588; and^G2532 then^G5119 shall^G1096 each man^G1538 have^G1096 his praise^G1868 from^G575 God^G2316. 6Now^G1161 these things^G5023, brethren^G80, I have in a figure transferred^G3345 to^G1519 myself^G1683 and^G2532 Apollos^G625 for^G1223 your sakes^G5209; that^G2443 in^G1722 us^G2254 ye might learn^G3129 not^G3361 to go^G5426 beyond^G5228 the things which^G3739 are written^G1125; that^G2443 no^G3361 one^G1520 of you be puffed up^G5448 for^G5228 the one^G1520 against^G2596 the other^G2087. 7For^G1063 who^G5101 maketh^G1252 thee^G4571 to differ^G1252? and^G1161 what^G5101 hast thou^G2192 that^G3739 thou^G2192 didst^G2983 not^G3756 receive^G2983? but if^G1487 thou didst receive^G2983 it, why^G5101 dost thou glory^G2744 as if^G5613 thou hadst^G2983 not^G3361 received^G2983 it? 8Already^G2235 are^G2075 ye filled^G2880, already^G2235 ye are become rich^G4147, ye have come to reign^G936 without^G5565 us^G2257: yea and^G2532 I would^G3785 that^G1065 ye did reign^G936, that^G2443 we^G2249 also^G2532 might reign^G4821 with you^G5213. 9For^G1063, I think^G1380, God^G2316 hath set forth^G584 us^G2248 the apostles^G652 last^G2078 of all, as^G5613 men doomed to death^G1935: for^G3754 we are made^G1096 a spectacle^G2302 unto the world^G2889, both^G2532 to angels^G32 and^G2532 men^G444. 10We^G2249 are fools^G3474 for^G1223 Christ's sake^G5547, but^G1161 ye^G5210 are wise^G5429 in^G1722 Christ^G5547; we^G2249 are weak^G772, but^G1161 ye^G5210 are strong^G2478; ye^G5210 have glory^G1741, but^G1161 we^G2249 have dishonor^G820. 11Even unto^G891 this present^G737 hour^G5610 we^G3983 both^G2532 hunger^G3983, and^G2532 thirst^G1372, and^G2532 are naked^G1130, and^G2532 are buffeted^G2852, and^G2532 have no certain dwelling-place^G790; 12and^G2532 we toil^G2872, working^G2038 with our own^G2398 hands^G5495: being reviled^G3058, we bless^G2127; being persecuted^G1377, we endure^G430; 13being defamed^G987, we entreat^G3870: we are made^G1096 as^G5613 the filth^G4027 of the world^G2889, the offscouring^G4067 of all things^G3956, even until^G2193 now^G737. 14I write^G1125 not^G3756 these things^G5023 to shame^G1788 you^G5209, but^G235 to admonish^G3560 you as^G5613 my^G3450 beloved^G27 children^G5043. 15For^G1063 though^G1437 ye have^G2192 ten thousand^G3463 tutors^G3807 in^G1722 Christ^G5547, yet^G235 have ye not^G3756 many^G4183 fathers^G3962; for^G1063 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 I^G1473 begat^G1080 you^G5209 through^G1223 the gospel^G2098. 16I beseech^G3870 you^G5209 therefore^G3767, be ye^G1096 imitators^G3402 of me^G3450. 17For^G1223 this cause^G5124 have I sent^G3992 unto you^G5213 Timothy^G5095, who^G3739 is^G2076 my^G3450 beloved^G27 and^G2532 faithful^G4103 child^G5043 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962, who^G3739 shall put^G363 you^G5209 in remembrance^G363 of my^G3450 ways^G3598 which are^G3588 in^G1722 Christ^G5547, even as^G2531 I teach^G1321 everywhere^G3837 in^G1722 every^G3956 church^G1577. 18Now^G1161 some^G5100 are puffed up^G5448, as though^G5613 I^G3450 were^G2064 not^G3361 coming^G2064 to^G4314 you^G5209. 19But^G1161 I will come^G2064 to^G4314 you^G5209 shortly^G5030, if^G1437 the Lord^G2962 will^G2309; and^G2532 I will know^G1097, not^G3756 the word^G3056 of them that^G3588 are puffed up^G5448, but^G235 the power^G1411. 20For^G1063 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 is not^G3756 in^G1722 word^G3056, but^G235 in^G1722 power^G1411. 21What^G5101 will ye^G2309? shall I come^G2064 unto^G4314 you^G5209 with^G1722 a rod^G4464, or^G2228 in^G1722 love^G26 and^G5037 a spirit^G4151 of gentleness^G4236?
