1 Corinthians - Chapter: 4


4:1	Let men thus wyse esteme vs, euen as the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secretes of of God.
4:2	Furthermore it is requyred of the dysposers, that they be found faithfull.
4:3	Wyth me it is but a very smal thinge, that I shoulde be iudged of you, eyther of (mans daye). No I iudge not myne owne selfe.
4:4	I knowe nought by my selfe: yet am I not therby iustified. It is the Lorde that iudgeth me.
4:5	Therfore iudge nothinge before the tyme vntill the Lorde come, who wyll lyghten thinges, that are hyd in darckenes, and open the counsels of the hertes. And then shall euery man haue praise of God.
4:6	These thinges brethren I haue described in myne owne person and Apollos for youre sakes, that ye myght learne by vs, that no man counte of him selfe beionde that, which is aboue written: that one swell not against another for anye mans cause.
4:7	For who preferreth the? What haste thou, that thou hast not receyued? Yf thou haue receyued it ewhy reioyseste thou as thoughe thou haddeste not receiued it?
4:8	Now ye are ful: now ye are made rych: ye reigne as kinges without vs: and I would to God ye dyd reygne that we might reygne wyth you.
4:9	Me thinketh that God hath sente forth vs, which are Apostles for the lowest, of al as it were men appointed to death. For we are a gasyng stoke vnto the world, and to the aungels, and to men.
4:10	We are foles for Christes sake and ye are wise thorow Christe. We are weake, and ye are stronge. Ye are honorable, and we are despised.
4:11	Euen vnto this daye we honger and thyrst, and are naked, and are boffetted wyth fystes, and haue no certayne dwellinge place,
4:12	and labour workinge wyth oure handes. We are reuiled, & yet we blesse. We are persecuted and suffer it.
4:13	We are euyl spoken of and we pray. We are made as it were the filthines of the worlde, the ofscowring of all thynges, euen vnto this time.
4:14	I wryte not these thinges to shame you but as my beloued sonnes I warne you.
4:15	For thoughe ye haue ten thousand instructours in Christ: yet haue ye not many fathers. In Christe Iesu, I haue begotten you thorowe the Gospell.
4:16	Wherfore I desyre you to folowe me.
4:17	For this cause haue I sent vnto you Tymotheus, which is my deare sonne, and faithfull in the Lorde, whiche shall put you in remembraunce of my waies, whiche I haue in Christ euen as I teache euery wher in all congregations.
4:18	Some swell as though, I would come no more at you.
4:19	But I wil come to you shortly yf God wil: and will knowe not the wordes of them, which swel, but the power,
4:20	for the kyngdom of God is not in wordes, but in power.
4:21	What wyll ye? Shall I come vnto you with a rodde, or els in loue and in the spyryte of mekenes?


4:1	Let a man so esteeme of vs, as the ministers of Christe, and disposers of the secretes of God.
4:2	Furthermore, it is required of the disposers that a man be founde faythfull.
4:3	With me it is but a very small thyng that I shoulde be iudged of you, either of mans iudgement: No, I iudge not mine owne selfe.
4:4	For I knowe nothing by my selfe, yet am I not thereby iustified: but he that iudgeth me is the Lorde.
4:5	Therefore iudge nothyng before the tyme, vntyll the Lorde come, who wyl lyghten thynges that are hyd in darkenesse, & open the counsels of the heartes, and then shall euery man haue prayse of God.
4:6	And these thynges brethren, I haue figuratiuely applied vnto my selfe, and to Apollos, for your sakes, that ye might learne by vs, that no man conceaue in mynde aboue that whiche is written, that one swell not agaynst another for any mans cause.
4:7	For who seperateth thee? And what hast thou, that thou hast not receaued? If thou haue receaued it, why reioycest thou, as though thou haddest not receaued it?
4:8	Nowe ye are full, nowe ye are made ryche, ye raigne as kynges without vs, and I woulde to God ye dyd raigne, that we also myght raigne with you.
4:9	For me thynketh, that God hath set foorth vs, whiche are the last apostles, as it were men appoynted to death. For we are made a gasyng stocke vnto the worlde, and to the angels, and to men.
4:10	We [are] fooles for Christes sake, but ye [are] wyse in Christe. We [are] weake, but ye [are] stronge. Ye [are] honorable, but we [are] despised.
4:11	Euen vnto this time we both hunger and thirste, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwellyng place.
4:12	And labour, working with our owne handes. We are reuyled, and we blesse. We are persecuted, and suffer it.
4:13	We are euyll spoken of, and we praye: we are made as the fylthynesse of the worlde, the ofscowryng of all thynges vnto this day.
4:14	I write not these thynges to shame you, but as my beloued sonnes I warne you.
4:15	For though ye haue ten thousande instructours in Christ, yet [haue ye] not many fathers: For in Christe Iesu I haue begotten you through the Gospell.
4:16	Wherfore, I desire you, be ye folowers of me.
4:17	For this cause haue I sent vnto you Timotheus, whiche is my beloued sonne, & faythfull in the Lorde, which shall put you in remembraunce of my wayes which be in Christe, as I teache euery where in all Churches.
4:18	Some swel as though I would come no more at you:
4:19	But I wyll come to you shortly, if the Lorde wyll, & wyll knowe, not the wordes of the which swell, but the power.
4:20	For the kyngdome of God is not in worde, but in power.
4:21	What wyl ye? Shal I come vnto you with a rodde, or in loue and in the spirite of mekenesse?


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