1 Corinthians 4
4
1Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Moshiach [Messiah], and stewards of the mysteries of God-The Father.
2Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yes, I judge not my own self.
4For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that me is the Lord - Kurios.
5Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord - Kurios come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God-The Father.
6And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and [to] Apollos [given by Apollo (etymology uncertain)] for your sakes; that you2f might learn in us not to think [of men] above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
7For who makes youi to differ [from another]? and what have youi that youi did not receive? now if youi did receive [it], why do youi glory, as if youi had not received [it]?
8Now you2f are full, now you2f are rich, you2f have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God-The Father you2f did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9For I think that God-The Father has set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
10We [are] fools for Moshiach [Messiah]’s sake, but you2f [are] wise in Moshiach [Messiah]; we [are] weak, but you2f [are] strong; you2f [are] honourable, but we [are] despised.
11Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
12And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer (allow, to let, permit) it:
13Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, [and are] the outcast of all things unto this day.
14I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you].
15For though you2f have ten thousand instructors in Moshiach [Messiah], yet [have you2f] not many fathers: for in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] I have begotten you through the Gospel (joyful message).
16For what reason I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) you, be you2f followers of me.
17For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy [honoring God], who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord - Kurios, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Moshiach [Messiah], as I teach every where in every church.
18Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord - Kurios will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
20For the kingdom of God-The Father [is] not in word, but in power.
21What will you2f? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and [in] the Spirit [Ruach] of meekness?

1Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 5Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
6And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. 7For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? 8Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. 9For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 10We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. 11Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; 12and labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 13being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. 15For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 16Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 17For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
I Will Come to You
18Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. 19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. 20For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 21What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
