1Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of [the] mysteries ofGod.
1Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God,
2Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
2Here, further, it is sought in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
2and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful,
3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
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.
3and to me it is for a very little thing that by you I may be judged, or by man's day, but not even myself do I judge,
4For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
4For I am conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord.
4for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in this have I been declared right--and he who is discerning me is the Lord:
5Therefore judge nothing 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 of God.
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.
5so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.
6And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
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.
6And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed up one for one against the other,
7For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
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 doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why dost thou glory as not having received?
8Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
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.
8Already ye are having been filled, already ye were rich, apart from us ye did reign, and I would also ye did reign, that we also with you may reign together,
9For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
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 did set forth us the apostles last--as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men;
10We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
10We [are] fools for Christ's sake, but ye prudent in Christ: we weak, but ye strong: ye glorious, but we in dishonour.
10we <FI>are<Fi> fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we <FI>are<Fi> ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured;
11Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
11To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are in nakedness, and buffeted, and wander without a home,
11unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about,
12And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
12and labour, working with our own hands. Railed at, we bless; persecuted, we suffer [it];
12and labour, working with <FI>our<Fi> own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;
13Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
13insulted, we entreat: we are become as [the] offscouring of the world, [the] refuse of all, until now.
13being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become--of all things an offscouring--till now.
14I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
14Not [as] chiding do I write these things to you, but as my beloved children I admonish [you].
14Not <FI>as<Fi> putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,
15For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
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 a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I--I did beget you;
16Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
16I entreat you therefore, be my imitators.
16I call upon you, therefore, become ye followers of me;
17For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
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.
17because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach.
18Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
18But some have been puffed up, as if I were not coming to you;
18And as if I were not coming unto you certain were puffed up;
19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
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 quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power;
