Verse
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
So then,
men
ought
to
regard
us as servants
of Christ and stewards of the mysteries
of God .
Let
a
man
so reckon
us as officers
of Christ ,
and stewards of the secrets
of God ,
Now
it is required of
stewards that they
be found faithful .
and
as
to
the
rest,
it is required in
the
stewards that one
may
be found faithful ,
I
care
very little ,
however,
if
I
am
judged
by you or by any
human
court.
In
fact
, I
do
not even judge
myself .
and
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,
My
conscience
is
clear
, but that
does
not vindicate
me .
It
is the Lord who
judges
me.
for
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 :
Therefore
judge
nothing before the appointed
time ;
wait
until
the Lord comes.
He
will bring to light what
is
hidden in
darkness and will expose
the motives
of men’s
hearts .
At
that
time
each
will
receive
his
praise from God.
so,
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.
Brothers,
I
have
applied
these things to myself and Apollos for
your
benefit
, so
that you
may learn from
us
not to go
beyond
what
is
written .
Then
you
will
not take
pride
in
one man
over
another.
And
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,
For who makes
you
so
superior
? What do
you
have
that you
did
not receive? And if you
did
receive it
, why do
you
boast
as though
you
did
not?
for 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
?
Already you
have
all
you
want.
Already you
have
become
rich .
Without
us, you
have
become
kings.
How
I wish
you
really
were
kings
, so
that we might
be
kings
with you !
Already 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,
For it
seems
to
me
that God has
displayed
us apostles
at
the end
of
the
procession,
like
prisoners
appointed for
death .
We
have
become
a spectacle to the whole
world, to
angels
as
well
as
to
men .
for 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 ;
We are fools for
Christ, but
you
are
wise in Christ .
We are weak
, but
you
are
strong .
You
are
honored
, but
we are
dishonored.
we `
are '
fools because
of
Christ, and
ye
wise in Christ ;
we `
are '
ailing
, and
ye
strong ;
ye
glorious
, and
we dishonoured;
To
this
very
hour we are
hungry
and thirsty
, we
are poorly
clothed
, we
are brutally
treated
, we
are
homeless.
unto
the
present
hour we both
hunger,
and thirst
, and
are naked
, and
are buffeted
, and
wander
about,
We
work
hard
with our own hands .
When
we
are
vilified
, we bless; when
we
are
persecuted, we endure
it
;
and
labour,
working
with `
our '
own hands ;
being
reviled
, we bless; being
persecuted, we suffer
;
when
we
are
slandered,
we
answer
gently.
Up
to
this
moment
we
have
become
the
scum
of the
earth
, the
refuse
of the world.
being
spoken
evil
of, we
entreat;
as
filth
of the world we
did
become
--
of
all
things
an
offscouring
--
till
now
.
I
am
not writing
this
to shame you
, but to
warn
you
as my beloved children .
Not `as'
putting
you
to shame do
I
write
these
things
, but as my beloved children I
do
admonish,
Even
if you
have ten
thousand
guardians
in Christ, you
do
not have
many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I
became
your
father
through the gospel.
for
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;
Therefore
I urge
you to
imitate
me .
I call
upon
you ,
therefore,
become
ye
followers
of
me ;
That
is
why
I have
sent you Timothy
, my beloved and faithful child
in the Lord .
He
will
remind you of my way
of
life
in Christ Jesus
, which
is
exactly
what
I
teach
everywhere in every church
.
because
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
.
Some
of
you
have
become
arrogant,
as if I were not coming to
you .
And
as if I were not coming unto
you certain
were
puffed
up;
But I will come to
you shortly
, if the Lord is
willing
, and then
I will find
out
not only
what
these
arrogant
people
are
saying
, but what
power they
have.
but 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 ;
For the kingdom
of God is
not
a
matter
of
talk
but of
power .
for not
in
word
is
the reign
of God ,
but in
power ?
Which
do you
prefer
? Shall I come to
you with
a
rod
, or in love and
with a gentle
spirit?
what
do ye
wish
? with
a
rod
shall I come unto
you, or in love ,
with a spirit also
of
meekness
?
