1 Corinthians 4
1 Thus let a man regard us as of helpers of Christ, and managers of mysteries of God.
ουτως ημας λογιζεσθω ανθρωπος ως υπηρετας χριστου και οικονομους μυστηριων θεου
2 And beyond that, it is sought in managers that any man should be found faithful.
ωδε λοιπον ζητειται εν τοις οικονομοις ινα πιστος τις ευρεθη
3 But it is a very small thing to me that I might be appraised by you or by a day of mankind. Yet neither do I appraise myself,
εμοι δε εις ελαχιστον εστιν ινα υφ υμων ανακριθω η υπο ανθρωπινης ημερας αλλ ουδε εμαυτον ανακρινω
4 for I know nothing on myself. Yet I have not been made righteous in this, but he who appraises me is the Lord.
ουδεν γαρ εμαυτω συνοιδα αλλ ουκ εν τουτω δεδικαιωμαι ο δε ανακρινων με κυριος εστιν
5 Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make public the deliberations of the hearts. And then praise will come to each man from God.
ωστε μη προ καιρου τι κρινετε εως αν ελθη ο κυριος ος και φωτισει τα κρυπτα του σκοτους και φανερωσει τας βουλας των καρδιων και τοτε ο επαινος γενησεται εκαστω απο του θεου
6 Now these things, brothers, I applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us ye might learn not to think above that which is written, so that ye may not be puffed up, one over the one against the other.
ταυτα δε αδελφοι μετεσχηματισα εις εμαυτον και απολλων δι υμας ινα εν ημιν μαθητε το μη υπερ α γεγραπται ινα μη εις υπερ του ενος φυσιουσθε κατα του ετερου
7 For who makes thee different? And what have thou that thou did not receive? And also if thou received it, why do thou boast as not having received it?
τις γαρ σε διακρινει τι δε εχεις ο ουκ ελαβες ει δε και ελαβες τι καυχασαι ως μη λαβων
8 Already ye are filled. Already ye have become rich. Ye reigned without us, and O that ye did indeed reign, so that we also might reign with you.
ηδη κεκορεσμενοι εστε ηδη επλουτησατε χωρις ημων εβασιλευσατε και οφελον γε εβασιλευσατε ινα και ημεις υμιν συμβασιλευσωμεν
9 For I think God has exhibited us the apostles least, as men sentenced to die, because we became a spectacle to the world, both to agents and to men.
δοκω γαρ ο θεος ημας τους αποστολους εσχατους απεδειξεν ως επιθανατιους οτι θεατρον εγενηθημεν τω κοσμω και αγγελοις και ανθρωποις
10 We are foolish for the sake of Christ, but ye are wise in Christ. We are weak, but ye are strong. Ye are esteemed, but we are disreputable.
ημεις μωροι δια χριστον υμεις δε φρονιμοι εν χριστω ημεις ασθενεις υμεις δε ισχυροι υμεις ενδοξοι ημεις δε ατιμοι
11 As far as the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are ill clothed, and are treated roughly, and are homeless.
αχρι της αρτι ωρας και πεινωμεν και διψωμεν και γυμνιτευομεν και κολαφιζομεθα και αστατουμεν
12 And we toil, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
και κοπιωμεν εργαζομενοι ταις ιδιαις χερσιν λοιδορουμενοι ευλογουμεν διωκομενοι ανεχομεθα
13 being slandered, we entreat. We became as trash of the world, an offscouring of all things, until now.
δυσφημουμενοι παρακαλουμεν ως περικαθαρματα του κοσμου εγενηθημεν παντων περιψημα εως αρτι
14 I do not write these things shaming you, but I warn you as my beloved children.
ουκ εντρεπων υμας γραφω ταυτα αλλ ως τεκνα μου αγαπητα {VAR1: νουθετων } {VAR2: (νουθετων) }
15 For though ye have countless instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus I begot you through the good news.
εαν γαρ μυριους παιδαγωγους εχητε εν χριστω αλλ ου πολλους πατερας εν γαρ χριστω ιησου δια του ευαγγελιου εγω υμας εγεννησα
16 I beseech you therefore, become followers of me.
παρακαλω ουν υμας μιμηται μου γινεσθε
17 Because of this I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every congregation.
δια τουτο επεμψα υμιν τιμοθεον ος εστιν μου τεκνον αγαπητον και πιστον εν κυριω ος υμας αναμνησει τας οδους μου τας εν χριστω [ιησου] καθως πανταχου εν παση εκκλησια διδασκω
18 But as of me not coming to you, some men are puffed up.
ως μη ερχομενου δε μου προς υμας εφυσιωθησαν τινες
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord should will, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
ελευσομαι δε ταχεως προς υμας εαν ο κυριος θεληση και γνωσομαι ου τον λογον των πεφυσιωμενων αλλα την δυναμιν
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
ου γαρ εν λογω η βασιλεια του θεου αλλ εν δυναμει
21 What do ye want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of meekness?
τι θελετε εν ραβδω ελθω προς υμας η εν αγαπη πνευματι τε πραυτητος
