1Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of [the] mysteries ofGod.
1Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ and the dispensers of the mysteries of God.
2Here, further, it is sought in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
2Here now it is required among the dispensers that a man be found faithful.
3But for me it is the very smallest matter that I be examined of you or of man's day. Nor do I even examine myself.
3But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you or by man's day. But neither do I judge my own self.
4For I am conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord.
4For I am not conscious to myself of anything. Yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5So that do not judge anything before [the] time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have [his] praise fromGod.
5Therefore, judge not before the time: until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise from God.
6Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the [lesson of] not [letting your thoughts go] above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for [such a] one against another.
6But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes: that in us you may learn that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written.
7For who makes thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? but if also thou hast received, why boastest thou as not receiving?
7For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received, and if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
8Already ye are filled; already ye have been enriched; ye have reigned without us; and I would that ye reigned, that we also might reign with you.
8You are now full: you are now become rich: you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9For I think thatGod has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
9For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death. We are made a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.
10We [are] fools for Christ's sake, but ye prudent in Christ: we weak, but ye strong: ye glorious, but we in dishonour.
10We are fools for Christs sake, but you are wise in Christ: we are weak, but you are strong: you are honourable, but we without honour.
11To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are in nakedness, and buffeted, and wander without a home,
11Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are buffeted and have no fixed abode.
12and labour, working with our own hands. Railed at, we bless; persecuted, we suffer [it];
12And we labour, working with our own hands. We are reviled: and we bless. We are persecuted: and we suffer it.
13insulted, we entreat: we are become as [the] offscouring of the world, [the] refuse of all, until now.
13We are blasphemed: and we entreat. We are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all, even until now.
14Not [as] chiding do I write these things to you, but as my beloved children I admonish [you].
14I write not these things to confound you: but I admonish you as my dearest children.
15For if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the glad tidings.
15For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you.
16I entreat you therefore, be my imitators.
16Wherefore, I beseech you, be ye followers of me as I also am of Christ.
17For this reason I have sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved and faithful child in [the] Lord, who shall put you in mind of my ways [as] they [are] in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
17For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my dearest son and faithful in the Lord. Who will put you in mind of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus: as I teach every where in every church.
18But some have been puffed up, as if I were not coming to you;
18As if I would not come to you, so some are puffed up.
19but I will come quickly to you, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of those that are puffed up, but the power.
19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will: and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power.
