1 Corinthians 4 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1Co 4:1

1Co 4:1Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God,

1Co 4:2

1Co 4:2and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful,

1Co 4:3

1Co 4:3and 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,

1Co 4:4

1Co 4:4for 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:

1Co 4:5

1Co 4:5so, 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.

1Co 4:6

1Co 4:6And 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,

1Co 4:7

1Co 4:7for 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?

1Co 4:8

1Co 4:8Already 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,

1Co 4:9

1Co 4:9for 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;

1Co 4:10

1Co 4:10we are fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we are ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured;

1Co 4:11

1Co 4:11unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about,

1Co 4:12

1Co 4:12and labour, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;

1Co 4:13

1Co 4:13being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now.

1Co 4:14

1Co 4:14Not as putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,

1Co 4:15

1Co 4:15for 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;

1Co 4:16

1Co 4:16I call upon you, therefore, become ye followers of me;

1Co 4:17

1Co 4:17because 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.

1Co 4:18

1Co 4:18And as if I were not coming unto you certain were puffed up;

1Co 4:19

1Co 4:19but 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;

1Co 4:20

1Co 4:20for not in word is the reign of God, but in power?

1Co 4:21

1Co 4:21what do ye wish? with a rod shall I come unto you, or in love, with a spirit also of meekness?
