1 Corinthians 4

  1 G3049 Let G444 a man G3779 so G3049 account [G5737]   G2248 of us G5613 , as G5257 of the ministers G5547 of Christ G2532 , and G3623 stewards G3466 of the mysteries G2316 of God.

  2 G3739   G1161   G3063 Moreover G2212 it is required [G5743]   G1722 in G3623 stewards G2443 , that G5100 a man G2147 be found [G5686]   G4103 faithful.

  3 G1161 But G1698 with me G2076 it is [G5748]   G1519 a very small thing G1646   G2443 that G350 I should be judged [G5686]   G5259 of G5216 you G2228 , or G5259 of G442 man's G2250 judgment G235 : yea G350 , I judge [G5719]   G3761 not G1683 mine own self.

  4 G1063 For G4894 I know [G5758]   G3762 nothing G1683 by myself G235 ; yet G1344 am I G3756 not G1722 hereby G5129   G1344 justified [G5769]   G1161 : but G350 he that judgeth [G5723]   G3165 me G2076 is [G5748]   G2962 the Lord.

  5 G5620 Therefore G2919 judge [G5720]   G3361 nothing G5100   G4253 before G2540 the time G2193 , until G302   G2962 the Lord G2064 come [G5632]   G3739 , who G2532 both G5461 will bring to light [G5692]   G2927 the hidden things G4655 of darkness G2532 , and G5319 will make manifest [G5692]   G1012 the counsels G2588 of the hearts G2532 : and G5119 then G1538 shall every man G1096 have [G5695]   G1868 praise G575 of G2316 God.

  6 G1161 And G5023 these things G80 , brethren G3345 , I have in a figure transferred [G5656]   G1519 to G1683 myself G2532 and G625 to Apollos G1223 for G5209 your sakes G2443 ; that G3129 ye might learn [G5632]   G1722 in G2254 us G3361 not G5426 to think [G5721]   G5228 of men above G2443 that G3739 which G1125 is written [G5769]   G3363 , that no G1520 one G5448 of you be puffed up [G5747]   G5228 for G1520 one G2596 against G2087 another.

  7 G1063 For G5101 who G1252 maketh G4571 thee G1252 to differ [G5719]   G1161 from another ? and G5101 what G2192 hast thou [G5719]   G3739 that G2983 thou didst G3756 not G2983 receive [G5627]   G1161 ? G1499 now if G2983 thou didst receive [G5627]   G5101 it, why G2744 dost thou glory [G5736]   G5613 , as G2983 if thou hadst G3361 not G2983 received [G5631]   it ?

  8 G2235 Now G2075 ye are [G5748]   G2880 full [G5772]   G2235 , now G4147 ye are rich [G5656]   G936 , ye have reigned as kings [G5656]   G5565 without G2257 us G2532 : and G3785 I would to God G1065   G936 ye did reign [G5656]   G2443 , that G2249 we G2532 also G4821 might reign with [G5661]   G5213 you.

  9 G1063 For G1380 I think [G5719]   G3754 that G2316 God G584 hath set forth [G5656]   G2248 us G652 the apostles G2078 last G5613 , as G1935 it were appointed to death G3754 : for G1096 we are made [G5675]   G2302 a spectacle G2889 unto the world G2532 , and G32 to angels G2532 , and G444 to men.

  10 G2249 We G3474 are fools G1223 for G5547 Christ's G1223 sake G1161 , but G5210 ye G5429 are wise G1722 in G5547 Christ G2249 ; we G772 are weak G1161 , but G5210 ye G2478 are strong G5210 ; ye G1741 are honourable G1161 , but G2249 we G820 are despised.

  11 G891 Even G737 unto this present G5610 hour G3983 we G2532 both G3983 hunger [G5719]   G2532 , and G1372 thirst [G5725]   G2532 , and G1130 are naked [G5719]   G2532 , and G2852 are buffeted [G5743]   G2532 , and G790 have no certain dwellingplace [G5719]  ;

  12 G2532 And G2872 labour [G5719]   G2038 , working [G5740]   G2398 with our own G5495 hands G3058 : being reviled [G5746]   G2127 , we bless [G5719]   G1377 ; being persecuted [G5746]   G430 , we suffer it [G5736]  :

  13 G987 Being defamed [G5746]   G3870 , we intreat [G5719]   G1096 : we are made [G5675]   G5613 as G4027 the filth G2889 of the world G4067 , and are the offscouring G3956 of all things G2193 unto G737 this day.

  14 G1125 I write [G5719]   G3756 not G5023 these things G1788 to shame [G5723]   G5209 you G235 , but G5613 as G3450 my G27 beloved G5043 sons G3560 I warn [G5719]   you .

  15 G1063 For G1437 though G2192 ye have [G5725]   G3463 ten thousand G3807 instructors G1722 in G5547 Christ G235 , yet G3756 have ye not G4183 many G3962 fathers G1063 : for G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus G1473 I G1080 have begotten [G5656]   G5209 you G1223 through G2098 the gospel.

  16 G3767 Wherefore G3870 I beseech [G5719]   G5209 you G1096 , be ye [G5737]   G3402 followers G3450 of me.

  17 G1223 For G5124 this G1223 cause G3992 have I sent [G5656]   G5213 unto you G5095 Timotheus G3739 , who G2076 is [G5748]   G3450 my G27 beloved G5043 son G2532 , and G4103 faithful G1722 in G2962 the Lord G3739 , who G363 shall bring G5209 you G363 into remembrance [G5692]   G3450 of my G3598 ways G3588 which G1722 be in G5547 Christ G2531 , as G1321 I teach [G5719]   G3837 every where G1722 in G3956 every G1577 church.

  18 G1161 Now G5100 some G5448 are puffed up [G5681]   G5613 , as though G3450 I G2064 would G3361 not G2064 come [G5740]   G4314 to G5209 you.

  19 G1161 But G2064 I will come [G5695]   G4314 to G5209 you G5030 shortly G1437 , if G2962 the Lord G2309 will [G5661]   G2532 , and G1097 will know [G5695]   G3756 , not G3056 the speech G5448 of them which are puffed up [G5772]   G235 , but G1411 the power.

  20 G1063 For G932 the kingdom G2316 of God G3756 is not G1722 in G3056 word G235 , but G1722 in G1411 power.

  21 G5101 What G2309 will ye [G5719]   G2064 ? shall I come [G5632]   G4314 unto G5209 you G1722 with G4464 a rod G2228 , or G1722 in G26 love G5037 , and G4151 in the spirit G4236 of meekness?
