1Let3049 a man444 so3779 account3049 of us2248, as5613 of the ministers5257 of Christ5547, and2532 stewards3623 of the mysteries3466 of God2316.
23739 1161 Moreover3063 it is required2212 in1722 stewards3623, that2443 a man5100 be found2147 faithful4103.
3But1161 with me1698 it is2076 a very small thing1519 1646 that2443 I should be judged350 of5259 you5216, or2228 of5259 man's442 judgment2250: yea235, I judge350 not3761 mine own self1683.
4For1063 I know4894 nothing3762 by myself1683; yet235 am I1344 not3756 hereby1722 5129 justified1344: but1161 he that judgeth350 me3165 is2076 the Lord2962.
5Therefore5620 judge2919 nothing3361 5100 before4253 the time2540, until2193 302 the Lord2962 come2064, who3739 both2532 will bring to light5461 the hidden things2927 of darkness4655, and2532 will make manifest5319 the counsels1012 of the hearts2588: and2532 then5119 shall every man1538 have1096 praise1868 of575 God2316.
6And1161 these things5023, brethren80, I have in a figure transferred3345 to1519 myself1683 and2532 to Apollos625 for1223 your sakes5209; that2443 ye might learn3129 in1722 us2254 not3361 to think5426 of men above5228 that2443 which3739 is written1125, that no3363 one1520 of you be puffed up5448 for5228 one1520 against2596 another2087.
7For1063 who5101 maketh1252 thee4571 to differ1252 from another? and1161 what5101 hast thou2192 that3739 thou didst2983 not3756 receive2983?1161 now if1499 thou didst receive2983 it, why5101 dost thou glory2744, as5613 if thou hadst2983 not3361 received2983 it?
8Now2235 ye are2075 full2880, now2235 ye are rich4147, ye have reigned as kings936 without5565 us2257: and2532 I would to God3785 1065 ye did reign936, that2443 we2249 also2532 might reign with4821 you5213.
9For1063 I think1380 that3754 God2316 hath set forth584 us2248 the apostles652 last2078, as5613 it were appointed to death1935: for3754 we are made1096 a spectacle2302 unto the world2889, and2532 to angels32, and2532 to men444.
10We2249 are fools3474 for1223 Christ's5547 sake1223, but1161 ye5210 are wise5429 in1722 Christ5547; we2249 are weak772, but1161 ye5210 are strong2478; ye5210 are honourable1741, but1161 we2249 are despised820.
11Even891 unto this present737 hour5610 we3983 both2532 hunger3983, and2532 thirst1372, and2532 are naked1130, and2532 are buffeted2852, and2532 have no certain dwellingplace790;
12And2532 labour2872, working2038 with our own2398 hands5495: being reviled3058, we bless2127; being persecuted1377, we suffer it430:
13Being defamed987, we intreat3870: we are made1096 as5613 the filth4027 of the world2889, and are the offscouring4067 of all things3956 unto2193 this day737.
14I write1125 not3756 these things5023 to shame1788 you5209, but235 as5613 my3450 beloved27 sons5043 I warn3560 you.
15For1063 though1437 ye have2192 ten thousand3463 instructors3807 in1722 Christ5547, yet235 have ye not3756 many4183 fathers3962: for1063 in1722 Christ5547 Jesus2424 I1473 have begotten1080 you5209 through1223 the gospel2098.
16Wherefore3767 I beseech3870 you5209, be ye1096 followers3402 of me3450.
17For1223 this5124 cause1223 have I sent3992 unto you5213 Timotheus5095, who3739 is2076 my3450 beloved27 son5043, and2532 faithful4103 in1722 the Lord2962, who3739 shall bring363 you5209 into remembrance363 of my3450 ways3598 which3588 be in1722 Christ5547, as2531 I teach1321 every where3837 in1722 every3956 church1577.
18Now1161 some5100 are puffed up5448, as though5613 I3450 would2064 not3361 come2064 to4314 you5209.
19But1161 I will come2064 to4314 you5209 shortly5030, if1437 the Lord2962 will2309, and2532 will know1097, not3756 the speech3056 of them which are puffed up5448, but235 the power1411.
20For1063 the kingdom932 of God2316 is not3756 in1722 word3056, but235 in1722 power1411.
21What5101 will ye2309? shall I come2064 unto4314 you5209 with1722 a rod4464, or2228 in1722 love26, and5037 in the spirit4151 of meekness4236?
