Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation BSB Berean Standard Bible
Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ , and stewards of the secrets of God ,
So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God .
and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful ,
Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful .
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 ,
I care very little , however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact , I do not even judge myself.
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 :
My conscience is clear , but that does not vindicate me . It is the Lord who judges me.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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 ?
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?
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,
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 !
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 ;
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 .
we ` are ' fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ ; we ` are ' ailing , and ye strong ; ye glorious , and we dishonoured;
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.
unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst , and are naked , and are buffeted, and wander about ,
To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty , we are poorly clothed , we are brutally treated , we are homeless.
and labour, working with ` our ' own hands ; being reviled , we bless; being persecuted, we suffer ;
We work hard with our own hands . When we are vilified , we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it ;
being spoken evil of , we entreat; as filth of the world we did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now .
when we are slandered , we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world .
Not `as' putting you to shame do I write these things , but as my beloved children I do admonish,
I am not writing this to shame you , but to warn you as my beloved children .
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;
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.
I call upon you , therefore, become ye followers of me ;
Therefore I urge you to imitate me .
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 .
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 .
And as if I were not coming unto you certain were puffed up;
Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you .
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 ;
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.
for not in word is the reign of God , but in power ?
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power .
what do ye wish ? with a rod shall I come unto you, or in love , with a spirit also of meekness ?
Which do you prefer ? Shall I come to you with a rod , or in love and with a gentle spirit?
