1 Let 3049 0 a man 444 so 3779 account 3049 of us 2248, as 5613 of the ministers 5257 of Christ 5547, and 2532 stewards 3623 of the mysteries 3466 of God 2316.
2 1161 Moreover 3063 it is required 2212 in 1722 stewards 3623, that 2443 a man 5100 be found 2147 faithful 4103.
3 But 1161 with me 1698 it is 2076 a very small thing 1519 1646 that 2443 I should be judged 350 of 5259 you 5216, or 2228 of 5259 man's 442 judgment 2250: yea 235, I judge 350 not 3761 mine own self 1683.
4 For 1063 I know 4894 nothing 3762 by myself 1683; yet 235 am I 1344 0 not 3756 hereby 1722 5129 justified 1344: but 1161 he that judgeth 350 me 3165 is 2076 the Lord 2962.
5 Therefore 5620 judge 2919 nothing 3361 5100 before 4253 the time 2540, until 2193 302 the Lord 2962 come 2064, who 3739 both 2532 will bring to light 5461 the hidden things 2927 of darkness 4655, and 2532 will make manifest 5319 the counsels 1012 of the hearts 2588: and 2532 then 5119 shall every man 1538 have 1096 praise 1868 of 575 God 2316.
6 And 1161 these things 5023, brethren 80, I have in a figure transferred 3345 to 1519 myself 1683 and 2532 to Apollos 625 for 1223 your sakes 5209; that 2443 ye might learn 3129 in 1722 us 2254 not 3361 to think 5426 of men above 5228 that 2443 which 3739 is written 1125, that no 3363 one 1520 of you be puffed up 5448 for 5228 one 1520 against 2596 another 2087.
7 For 1063 who 5101 maketh 1252 0 thee 4571 to differ 1252 from another? and 1161 what 5101 hast thou 2192 that 3739 thou didst 2983 0 not 3756 receive 2983? 1161 now 2532 if 1499 thou didst receive 2983 it, why 5101 dost thou glory 2744, as 5613 if thou hadst 2983 0 not 3361 received 2983 it?
8 Now 2235 ye are 2075 full 2880, now 2235 ye are rich 4147, ye have reigned as kings 936 without 5565 us 2257: and 2532 I would to God 3785 1065 ye did reign 936, that 2443 we 2249 also 2532 might reign with 4821 you 5213.
9 For 1063 I think 1380 that 3754 God 2316 hath set forth 584 us 2248 the apostles 652 last 2078, as 5613 it were appointed to death 1935: for 3754 we are made 1096 a spectacle 2302 unto the world 2889, and 2532 to angels 32, and 2532 to men 444.
10 We 2249 are fools 3474 for 1223 0 Christ's 5547 sake 1223, but 1161 ye 5210 are wise 5429 in 1722 Christ 5547; we 2249 are weak 772, but 1161 ye 5210 are strong 2478; ye 5210 are honourable 1741, but 1161 we 2249 are despised 820.
11 Even 891 unto this present 737 hour 5610 we 3983 0 both 2532 hunger 3983, and 2532 thirst 1372, and 2532 are naked 1130, and 2532 are buffeted 2852, and 2532 have no certain dwellingplace 790;
12 And 2532 labour 2872, working 2038 with our own 2398 hands 5495: being reviled 3058, we bless 2127; being persecuted 1377, we suffer it 430:
13 Being defamed 987, we intreat 3870: we are made 1096 as 5613 the filth 4027 of the world 2889, and are the offscouring 4067 of all things 3956 unto 2193 this day 737.
14 I write 1125 not 3756 these things 5023 to shame 1788 you 5209, but 235 as 5613 my 3450 beloved 27 sons 5043 I warn 3560 you.
15 For 1063 though 1437 ye have 2192 ten thousand 3463 instructors 3807 in 1722 Christ 5547, yet 235 have ye not 3756 many 4183 fathers 3962: for 1063 in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 I 1473 have begotten 1080 you 5209 through 1223 the gospel 2098.
16 Wherefore 3767 I beseech 3870 you 5209, be ye 1096 followers 3402 of me 3450.
17 For 1223 0 this 5124 cause 1223 have I sent 3992 unto you 5213 Timotheus 5095, who 3739 is 2076 my 3450 beloved 27 son 5043, and 2532 faithful 4103 in 1722 the Lord 2962, who 3739 shall bring 363 0 you 5209 into remembrance 363 of my 3450 ways 3598 which 3588 be in 1722 Christ 5547, as 2531 I teach 1321 every where 3837 in 1722 every 3956 church 1577.
18 Now 1161 some 5100 are puffed up 5448, as though 5613 I 3450 would 2064 0 not 3361 come 2064 to 4314 you 5209.
19 But 1161 I will come 2064 to 4314 you 5209 shortly 5030, if 1437 the Lord 2962 will 2309, and 2532 will know 1097, not 3756 the speech 3056 of them which are puffed up 5448, but 235 the power 1411.
20 For 1063 the kingdom 932 of God 2316 is not 3756 in 1722 word 3056, but 235 in 1722 power 1411.
21 What 5101 will ye 2309? shall I come 2064 unto 4314 you 5209 with 1722 a rod 4464, or 2228 in 1722 love 26, and 5037 in the spirit 4151 of meekness 4236?
