< 1 Corinthians 4 >
1 thus(-ly) me to count a human as/when servant Christ and manager mystery God
So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 (here *N(k)O*) henceforth to seek in/on/among the/this/who manager in order that/to faithful one to find/meet
Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
3 I/we then toward least to be in order that/to by/under: by you to investigate or by/under: by human day but nor I/we to investigate
I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
4 none for I/we be conscious of but no in/on/among this/he/she/it to justify the/this/who then to investigate me lord: God to be
My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.
5 so not before time/right time one to judge until if to come/go the/this/who lord: God which and to illuminate the/this/who hidden the/this/who darkness and to reveal the/this/who plan the/this/who heart and then the/this/who praise to be each away from the/this/who 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.
6 this/he/she/it then brother to transform toward I/we and Apollos through/because of you in order that/to in/on/among me to learn the/this/who not above/for (which *N(k)O*) to write (to reason *k*) in order that/to not one above/for the/this/who one to inflate according to the/this/who 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.
7 which? for you to judge/doubt which? then to have/be which no to take if then and to take which? to boast as/when not to take
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?
8 already to satisfy to be already be rich without me to reign and I wish! indeed to reign in order that/to and me you to reign with
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!
9 to think for (that/since: that *k*) the/this/who God me the/this/who apostle last/least to display as/when condemned to death that/since: since theatre to be the/this/who world and angel and a human
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.
10 me foolish through/because of Christ you then thoughtful in/on/among Christ me weak you then strong you honored me then dishonored
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.
11 until the/this/who now hour and to hunger and to thirst and be naked and to beat and be unsettled
To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
12 and to labor to work the/this/who one's own/private hand to revile to praise/bless to pursue to endure
We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
13 (to defame *N(k)O*) to plead/comfort as/when garbage the/this/who world to be all scum until 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.
14 no to cause shame you to write this/he/she/it but as/when child me beloved (to admonish *N(k)O*)
I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.
15 if for myriad guardian to have/be in/on/among Christ but no much father in/on/among for Christ Jesus through/because of the/this/who gospel I/we you to beget
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.
16 to plead/comfort therefore/then you imitator me to be
Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
17 through/because of this/he/she/it to send you Timothy which to be me child beloved and faithful in/on/among lord: God which you to remind the/this/who road me the/this/who in/on/among Christ (Jesus *NO*) as/just as everywhere in/on/among all assembly to 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.
18 as/when not to come/go then me to/with you to inflate one
Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
19 to come/go then soon to/with you if the/this/who lord: God to will/desire and to know no the/this/who word the/this/who to inflate but the/this/who 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.
20 no for in/on/among word the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God but in/on/among power
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
21 which? to will/desire in/on/among rod to come/go to/with you or in/on/among love spirit/breath: spirit and/both gentleness
Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
