4Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.G3049G444G3779G3049G2248G5613G5257G5547G2532G3623G3466G2316 2Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.G3739G1161G3063G2212G1722G3623G2443G5100G2147G4103 3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.G1161G1698G2076G1519G1646G2443G350G5259G5216G2228G5259G442G2250G235G350G3761G1683 4For I know nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.G1063G4894G3762G1683G235G1344G3756G1722G5129G1344G1161G350G3165G2076G2962 5Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God.G5620G2919G3361G5100G4253G2540G2193G302G2962G2064G3739G2532G5461G2927G4655G2532G5319G1012G2588G2532G5119G1538G1096G1868G575G2316 6Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other.G1161G5023G80G3345G1519G1683G2532G625G1223G5209G2443G3129G1722G2254G3361G5426G5228G2443G3739G1125G3363G1520G5448G5228G1520G2596G2087 7For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?G1063G5101G1252G4571G1252G1161G5101G2192G3739G2983G3756G2983G1161G1499G2983G5101G2744G5613G2983G3361G2983 8You are already full! You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us—and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you!G2235G2075G2880G2235G4147G936G5565G2257G2532G3785G1065G936G2443G2249G2532G4821G5213 9For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.G1063G1380G3754G2316G584G2248G652G2078G5613G1935G3754G1096G2302G2889G2532G32G2532G444 10We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!G2249G3474G1223G5547G1223G1161G5210G5429G1722G5547G2249G772G1161G5210G2478G5210G1741G1161G2249G820 11To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.G891G737G5610G3983G2532G3983G2532G1372G2532G1130G2532G2852G2532G790 12And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;G2532G2872G2038G2398G5495G3058G2127G1377G430 13being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.G987G3870G1096G5613G4027G2889G4067G3956G2193G737 14I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.G1125G3756G5023G1788G5209G235G5613G3450G27G5043G3560 15For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.G1063G1437G2192G3463G3807G1722G5547G235G3756G4183G3962G1063G1722G5547G2424G1473G1080G5209G1223G2098 16Therefore I urge you, imitate me.G3767G3870G5209G1096G3402G3450 17For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.G1223G5124G1223G3992G5213G5095G3739G2076G3450G27G5043G2532G4103G1722G2962G3739G363G5209G363G3450G3598G3588G1722G5547G2531G1321G3837G1722G3956G1577 18Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.G1161G5100G5448G5613G3450G2064G3361G2064G4314G5209 19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.G1161G2064G4314G5209G5030G1437G2962G2309G2532G1097G3756G3056G5448G235G1411 20For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.G1063G932G2316G3756G1722G3056G235G1722G1411 21What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?G5101G2309G2064G4314G5209G1722G4464G2228G1722G26G5037G4151G4236
