1 Corinthians - Chapter: 4


4:1	So a man gesse vs, as mynystris of Crist, and dispenderis of the mynysteries of God.
4:2	Now it is souyt here among the dispenderis, that a man be foundun trewe.
4:3	And to me it is for the leest thing, that Y be demyd of you, or of mannus dai; but nether Y deme my silf.
4:4	For Y am no thing ouer trowynge to my silf, but not in this thing Y am iustified; for he that demeth me, is the Lord.
4:5	Therfor nyle ye deme bifore the tyme, til that the Lord come, which schal liytne the hyd thingis of derknessis, and schal schewe the counseils of hertis; and thanne preisyng schal be to ech man of God.
4:6	And, britheren, Y haue transfigurid these thingis in to me and in to Apollo, for you; that in vs ye lerne, lest ouer that it is writun, oon ayens another be blowun with pride for another.
4:7	Who demeth thee? And what hast thou, that thou hast not resseyued? And if thou hast resseyued, what gloriest thou, as thou haddist not resseyued?
4:8	Nowe ye ben fyllid, now ye ben maad riche; ye regnen with outen vs; and Y wolde that ye regnen, that also we regnen with you.
4:9	And Y gesse, that God schewide vs the laste apostlis, as thilke that ben sent to the deth; for we ben maad a spectacle to the world, and to aungels, and to men.
4:10	We foolis for Crist, but ye prudent in Crist; we sike, but ye stronge; ye noble, but we vnnoble.
4:11	Til in to this our we hungren, and thirsten, and ben nakid, and ben smytun with buffatis,
4:12	and we ben vnstable, and we trauelen worchynge with oure hondis; we ben cursid, and we blessen; we suffren persecucioun, and we abiden longe; we ben blasfemyd, and we bisechen;
4:13	as clensyngis of this world we ben maad the `out castyng of alle thingis `til yit.
4:14	Y write not these thingis, that Y confounde you, but Y warne as my moste dereworthe sones.
4:15	For whi if ye han ten thousynde of vndur maistris in Crist, but not many fadris; for in Crist Jhesu Y haue gendrid you bi the gospel.
4:16	Therfor, britheren, Y preye you, be ye foleweris of me, as Y of Crist.
4:17	Therfor Y sente to you Tymothe, which is my most dereworthe sone, and feithful in the Lord, which schal teche you my weies, that ben in Crist Jhesu; as Y teche euery where in ech chirche.
4:18	As thouy Y schulde not come to you, so summe ben blowun with pride;
4:19	but Y schal come to you soone, if God wole; and Y schal knowe not the word of hem that ben blowun with pride, but the vertu.
4:20	For the rewme of God is not in word, but in vertu.
4:21	What wole ye? Schal Y come to you in a yerde, or in charite, and in spirit of myldenesse?


4:1	Let a man so thinke of vs, as of the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God:
4:2	And as for the rest, it is required of the disposers, that euery man be found faithfull.
4:3	As touching me, I passe very litle to be iudged of you, or of mans iudgement: no, I iudge not mine owne selfe.
4:4	For I know nothing by my selfe, yet am I not thereby iustified: but he that iudgeth me, is the Lord.
4:5	Therefore iudge nothing before the time, vntill the Lord come, who will lighten things that are hid in darkenesse, and make the counsels of the hearts manifest: and then shall euery man haue praise of God.
4:6	Nowe these things, brethren, I haue figuratiuely applied vnto mine owne selfe and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye might learne by vs, that no man presume aboue that which is written, that one swell not against another for any mans cause.
4:7	For who separateth thee? and what hast thou, that thou hast not receiued? if thou hast receiued it, why reioycest thou, as though thou haddest not receiued it?
4:8	Nowe ye are full: nowe ye are made rich: ye reigne as kings without vs, and would to God ye did reigne, that we also might reigne with you.
4:9	For I thinke that God hath set forth vs the last Apostles, as men appointed to death: for we are made a gasing stocke vnto the worlde, and to the Angels, and to men.
4:10	We are fooles for Christes sake, and ye are wise in Christ: we are weake, and ye are strong: ye are honourable, and we are despised.
4:11	Vnto this houre we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwelling place,
4:12	And labour, working with our owne handes: we are reuiled, and yet we blesse: we are persecuted, and suffer it.
4:13	We are euill spoken of, and we pray: we are made as the filth of the world, the offskowring of all things, vnto this time.
4:14	I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloued children I admonish you.
4:15	For though ye haue tenne thousand instructours in Christ, yet haue ye not many fathers: for in Christ Iesus I haue begotten you through the Gospel.
4:16	Wherefore, I pray you, be ye folowers of me.
4:17	For this cause haue I sent vnto you Timotheus, which is my beloued sonne, and faithfull in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my wayes in Christ as I teache euery where in euery Church.
4:18	Some are puffed vp as though I woulde not come vnto you.
4:19	But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will knowe, not the wordes of them which are puffed vp, but the power.
4:20	For the kingdome of God is not in worde, but in power.
4:21	What will ye? shall I come vnto you with a rod, or in loue, and in ye spirite of meekenes?


4:1	Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
4:2	Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.
4:3	But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a man's judgment. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
4:4	Because, I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.
4:5	Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. And then each one's praise will come from God.
4:6	Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think about people beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other.
4:7	Because who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
4:8	You are already full! You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us; and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you!
4:9	Because, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; because we have been made a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men.
4:10	We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honorable, but we are despised!
4:11	Even to the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are unclothed, and beaten, and have no permanent home.
4:12	And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it;
4:13	being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the scum of the earth, and are the offscouring of all things to this day.
4:14	I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
4:15	Because, though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; because in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
4:16	Therefore I urge you all, be followers of me.
4:17	For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.
4:18	Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
4:19	But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the speech of those who are puffed up, but the power.
4:20	Because the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
4:21	What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and in the spirit of meekness?
