| 4:1 Οὕτως ἡμᾶς λογιζέσθω ἄνθρωπος ὡς ὑπηρέτας Χριστοῦ καὶ οἰκονόμους μυστηρίων θεοῦ. | 1 Οὕτως ἡμᾶς λογιζέσθω ἄνθρωπος, ὡς ὑπηρέτας Χριστοῦ καὶ οἰκονόμους μυστηρίων θεοῦ. |
| Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. | Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. |
| 4:2 ὧδε λοιπὸν ζητεῖται ἐν τοῖς οἰκονόμοις, ἵνα πιστός τις εὑρεθῇ. | 2 ὃ δὲ λοιπόν, ζητεῖται ἐν τοῖς οἰκονόμοις, ἵνα πιστός τις εὑρεθῇ. |
| In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy. | Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. |

4:3 ἐμοὶ
δὲ
εἰς
ἐλάχιστόν
ἐστιν,
ἵνα
ὑφ᾿
ὑμῶν
ἀνακριθῶ
ἢ
ὑπὸ
ἀνθρωπίνης
ἡμέρας· ἀλλ᾿ οὐδὲ ἐμαυτὸν ἀνακρίνω. |
3 ἐμοὶ
δὲ
εἰς
ἐλάχιστόν
ἐστιν,
ἵνα
ὑφ᾿
ὑμῶν
ἀνακριθῶ,
ἢ
ὑπὸ
ἀνθρωπίνης
ἡμέρας· ἀλλ᾿ οὐδὲ ἐμαυτὸν ἀνακρίνω. |
| But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I don’t even examine myself. | But 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. |
| 4:4 οὐδὲν γὰρ ἐμαυτῷ σύνοιδα, ἀλλ᾿ οὐκ ἐν τούτῳ δεδικαίωμαι, ὁ δὲ ἀνακρίνων με κύριός ἐστιν. |
4 οὐδὲν
γὰρ
ἐμαυτῷ
σύνοιδα· ἀλλ᾿ οὐκ ἐν τούτῳ δεδικαίωμαι· ὁ δὲ ἀνακρίνων με, κύριός ἐστιν. |
| For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord. | For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. |

4:5 ὥστε
μὴ
πρὸ
καιροῦ
τι
κρίνετε
ἕως
ἄν[1]
ἔλθῃ
ὁ
κύριος,
ὃς
καὶ
φωτίσει
τὰ
κρυπτὰ
τοῦ
σκότους
καὶ
φανερώσει
τὰς
βουλὰς
τῶν
καρδιῶν· καὶ τότε ὁ ἔπαινος γενήσεται ἑκάστῳ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ. |
5 ὥστε
μὴ
πρὸ
καιροῦ
τι
κρίνετε,
ἕως
ἄν[1]
ἔλθῃ
ὁ
κύριος,
ὃς
καὶ
φωτίσει
τὰ
κρυπτὰ
τοῦ
σκότους,
καὶ

τῶν
καρδιῶν· καὶ τότε ὁ ἔπαινος γενήσεται ἑκάστῳ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ. |
| Therefore don’t go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God. | Therefore 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. |
| 4:6 Ταῦτα δέ, ἀδελφοί, μετεσχημάτισα εἰς ἐμαυτὸν καὶ Ἀπολλῶν δι᾿ ὑμᾶς, ἵνα ἐν ἡμῖν μάθητε τὸ Μὴ ὑπὲρ ἃ γέγραπται, ἵνα μὴ εἷς ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἑνὸς φυσιοῦσθε κατὰ τοῦ ἑτέρου. | 6 Ταῦτα δέ, ἀδελφοί, μετεσχημάτισα εἰς ἐμαυτὸν καὶ Ἀπολλὼ δι᾿ ὑμᾶς, ἵνα ἐν ἡμῖν μάθητε τὸ μὴ ὑπὲρ ὃ γέγραπται φρονεῖν, ἵνα μὴ εἷς ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἑνὸς φυσιοῦσθε κατὰ τοῦ ἑτέρου. |
| Now these things, brothers, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other. | And these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that you 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. |

4:7 τίς
γάρ
σε
διακρίνει; τί δὲ ἔχεις ὃ οὐκ ἔλαβες; εἰ δὲ καὶ ἔλαβες, τί καυχᾶσαι ὡς μὴ λαβών; |
7 τίς
γάρ
σε
διακρίνει; τί δὲ ἔχεις ὃ οὐκ ἔλαβες; εἰ δὲ καὶ ἔλαβες, τί καυχᾶσαι ὡς μὴ λαβών; |
| For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you didn’t receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it? | For who makes you to differ from another? and what have you that you didst not receive? now if you didst receive it, why dost you glory, as if you hadst not received it? |
|
4:8 ἤδη
κεκορεσμένοι
ἐστέ,
ἤδη
ἐπλουτήσατε,
χωρὶς
ἡμῶν
ἐβασιλεύσατε· καὶ ὄφελόν γε ἐβασιλεύσατε, ἵνα καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμῖν συμβασιλεύσωμεν. |

| You are already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you. | Now you are full, now you are rich, you have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you. |
| 4:9 δοκῶ γάρ, ὁ θεὸς ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀποστόλους ἐσχάτους ἀπέδειξεν ὡς ἐπιθανατίους, ὅτι θέατρον ἐγενήθημεν τῷ κόσμῳ καὶ ἀγγέλοις καὶ ἀνθρώποις. | 9 δοκῶ γὰρ ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀποστόλους ἐσχάτους ἀπέδειξεν ὡς ἐπιθανατίους, ὅτι θέατρον ἐγενήθημεν τῷ κόσμῳ, καὶ ἀγγέλοις καὶ ἀνθρώποις. |
| For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. | For I think that God 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. |

διὰ
Χριστόν,

δὲ
φρόνιμοι
ἐν
Χριστῷ· ἡμεῖς ἀσθενεῖς, ὑμεῖς δὲ ἰσχυροί· ὑμεῖς ἔνδοξοι, ἡμεῖς δὲ ἄτιμοι. |

| We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honour. | We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honourable, but we are despised. |
| 4:11 ἄχρι τῆς ἄρτι ὥρας καὶ πεινῶμεν καὶ διψῶμεν καὶ γυμνιτεύομεν καὶ κολαφιζόμεθα καὶ ἀστατοῦμεν | 11 ἄχρι τῆς ἄρτι ὥρας καὶ πεινῶμεν, καὶ διψῶμεν, καὶ γυμνητεύομεν, καὶ κολαφιζόμεθα, καὶ ἀστατοῦμεν, |
| To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless; | Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; |
|
4:12 καὶ
κοπιῶμεν
ἐργαζόμενοι
ταῖς
ἰδίαις
χερσίν· λοιδορούμενοι εὐλογοῦμεν, διωκόμενοι ἀνεχόμεθα, |
12 καὶ
κοπιῶμεν
ἐργαζόμενοι
ταῖς
ἰδίαις
χερσί· λοιδορούμενοι, εὐλογοῦμεν· διωκόμενοι, ἀνεχόμεθα· |
| and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure; | And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: |
|
4:13 δυσφημούμενοι
παρακαλοῦμεν· ὡς περικαθάρματα τοῦ κόσμου ἐγενήθημεν, πάντων περίψημα ἕως ἄρτι. |
13 βλασφημούμενοι,
παρακαλοῦμεν· ὡς περικαθάρματα τοῦ κόσμου ἐγενήθημεν, πάντων περίψημα ἕως ἄρτι. |
| when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now. | Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. |
| 4:14 οὐκ ἐντρέπων ὑμᾶς γράφω ταῦτα ἀλλ᾿ ὡς τέκνα μου ἀγαπητὰ νουθετῶν. | 14 οὐκ ἐντρέπων ὑμᾶς γράφω ταῦτα, ἀλλ᾿ ὡς τέκνα μου ἀγαπητὰ νουθετῶ. |
| I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. | I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. |
|
4:15 ἐὰν
γὰρ
μυρίους
παιδαγωγοὺς
ἔχητε
ἐν
Χριστῷ
ἀλλ᾿
οὐ
πολλοὺς
πατέρας· ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου ἐγὼ ὑμᾶς ἐγέννησα. |

| For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. | For though you have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have you not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. |
| 4:16 Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς, μιμηταί μου γίνεσθε. | 16 παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς, μιμηταί μου γίνεσθε. |
| Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me. | Wherefore I beseech you, be you followers of me. |
| 4:17 διὰ τοῦτο ἔπεμψα ὑμῖν Τιμόθεον, ὃς ἐστίν μου τέκνον ἀγαπητὸν καὶ πιστὸν ἐν κυρίῳ, ὃς ὑμᾶς ἀναμνήσει τὰς ὁδούς μου τὰς ἐν Χριστῷ [Ἰησοῦ], καθὼς πανταχοῦ ἐν πάσῃ ἐκκλησίᾳ διδάσκω. | 17 διὰ τοῦτο ἔπεμψα ὑμῖν Τιμόθεον, ὃς ἐστι τέκνον μου ἀγαπητὸν καὶ πιστὸν ἐν κυρίῳ, ὃς ὑμᾶς ἀναμνήσει τὰς ὁδούς μου τὰς ἐν Χριστῷ, καθὼς πανταχοῦ ἐν πάσῃ ἐκκλησίᾳ διδάσκω. |
| For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church. | For 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. |
| 4:18 Ὡς μὴ ἐρχομένου δέ μου πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐφυσιώθησάν τινες· | 18 Ὡς μὴ ἐρχομένου δέ μου πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐφυσιώθησάν τινες· |
| Now some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you. | Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. |
| 4:19 ἐλεύσομαι δὲ ταχέως πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐὰν ὁ κύριος θελήσῃ, καὶ γνώσομαι οὐ τὸν λόγον τῶν πεφυσιωμένων ἀλλὰ τὴν δύναμιν· | 19 ἐλεύσομαι δὲ ταχέως πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἐὰν ὁ κύριος θελήσῃ, καὶ γνώσομαι οὐ τὸν λόγον τῶν πεφυσιωμένων, ἀλλὰ τὴν δύναμιν. |
| But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power. | But 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. |
| 4:20 οὐ γὰρ ἐν λόγῳ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἀλλ᾿ ἐν δυνάμει. | 20 οὐ γὰρ ἐν λόγῳ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐν δυνάμει. |
| For the kingdom of God doesn’t consist in words but in power. | For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. |
|
4:21 τί
θέλετε; ἐν ῥάβδῳ ἔλθω πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἢ ἐν ἀγάπῃ πνεύματί τε πραΰτητος; |
21 τί
θέλετε; ἐν ῥάβδῳ ἔλθω πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἢ ἐν ἀγάπῃ, πνεύματί τε πρᾳότητος; |
| What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness? | What will you? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness? |
