Let{G3049} a man{G444} so{G3779} account{G3049} of us,{G2248} as{G5613} of ministers{G5257} of Christ,{G5547} and{G2532} stewards{G3623} of the mysteries{G3466} of God.{G2316}

Here, moreover,{G3063} {G3739} it is required{G2212} in{G1722} stewards,{G3623} that{G2443} a man{G5100} be found{G2147} faithful.{G4103}

But{G1161} with me{G1698} it{G1519} is{G2076} a very small thing{G1646} that{G2443} I should be judged{G350} of{G5259} you,{G5216} or{G2228} of{G5259} man's{G442} judgment:{G2250} yea,{G235} I judge{G350} not{G3761} mine own self.{G1683}

For{G1063} I know{G4894} nothing{G3762} against myself;{G1683} yet{G235} am I{G1344} not{G3756} hereby{G5129} {G1722} justified:{G1344} but{G1161} he{G3588} that judgeth{G350} me{G3165} is{G2076} the Lord.{G2962}

Wherefore{G5620} judge{G2919} {G5100} nothing{G3361} before{G4253} {G302} the time,{G2540} until{G2193} the Lord{G2962} come,{G2064} who{G3739} will both{G2532} bring to light{G5461} the hidden things{G2927} of darkness,{G4655} and{G2532} make manifest{G5319} the counsels{G1012} of the hearts;{G2588} and{G2532} then{G5119} shall{G1096} each man{G1538} have{G1096} his praise{G1868} from{G575} God.{G2316}

Now{G1161} these things,{G5023} brethren,{G80} I have in a figure transferred{G3345} to{G1519} myself{G1683} and{G2532} Apollos{G625} for{G1223} your sakes;{G5209} that{G2443} in{G1722} us{G2254} ye might learn{G3129} not{G3361} [to go]{G5426} beyond{G5228} the things which{G3739} are written;{G1125} that{G2443} no{G3361} one{G1520} of you be puffed up{G5448} for{G5228} the one{G1520} against{G2596} the other.{G2087}

For{G1063} who{G5101} maketh{G1252} thee{G4571} to differ?{G1252} and{G1161} what{G5101} hast thou{G2192} that{G3739} thou{G2192} didst{G2983} not{G3756} receive?{G2983} but if{G1487} {G2532} thou didst receive{G2983} it, why{G5101} dost thou glory{G2744} as if{G5613} thou hadst{G2983} not{G3361} received{G2983} it?

Already{G2235} are{G2075} ye filled,{G2880} already{G2235} ye are become rich,{G4147} ye have come to reign{G936} without{G5565} us:{G2257} yea and{G2532} I would{G3785} that{G1065} ye did reign,{G936} that{G2443} we{G2249} also{G2532} might reign{G4821} with you.{G5213}

For,{G1063} I think,{G1380} {G3754} God{G2316} hath set forth{G584} us{G2248} the apostles{G652} last{G2078} of all, as{G5613} men doomed to death:{G1935} for{G3754} we are made{G1096} a spectacle{G2302} unto the world,{G2889} both{G2532} to angels{G32} and{G2532} men.{G444}

We{G2249} are fools{G3474} for{G1223} Christ's sake,{G5547} but{G1161} ye{G5210} are wise{G5429} in{G1722} Christ;{G5547} we{G2249} are weak,{G772} but{G1161} ye{G5210} are strong;{G2478} ye{G5210} have glory,{G1741} but{G1161} we{G2249} have dishonor.{G820}

Even unto{G891} this present{G737} hour{G5610} we{G3983} both{G2532} hunger,{G3983} and{G2532} thirst,{G1372} and{G2532} are naked,{G1130} and{G2532} are buffeted,{G2852} and{G2532} have no certain dwelling-place;{G790}

and{G2532} we toil,{G2872} working{G2038} with our own{G2398} hands:{G5495} being reviled,{G3058} we bless;{G2127} being persecuted,{G1377} we endure;{G430}

being defamed,{G987} we entreat:{G3870} we are made{G1096} as{G5613} the filth{G4027} of the world,{G2889} the offscouring{G4067} of all things,{G3956} even until{G2193} now.{G737}

I write{G1125} not{G3756} these things{G5023} to shame{G1788} you,{G5209} but{G235} to admonish{G3560} you as{G5613} my{G3450} beloved{G27} children.{G5043}

For{G1063} though{G1437} ye have{G2192} ten thousand{G3463} tutors{G3807} in{G1722} Christ,{G5547} yet{G235} [have ye] not{G3756} many{G4183} fathers;{G3962} for{G1063} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} I{G1473} begat{G1080} you{G5209} through{G1223} the gospel.{G2098}

I beseech{G3870} you{G5209} therefore,{G3767} be ye{G1096} imitators{G3402} of me.{G3450}

For{G1223} this cause{G5124} have I sent{G3992} unto you{G5213} Timothy,{G5095} who{G3739} is{G2076} my{G3450} beloved{G27} and{G2532} faithful{G4103} child{G5043} in{G1722} the Lord,{G2962} who{G3739} shall put{G363} you{G5209} in remembrance{G363} of my{G3450} ways{G3598} which are{G3588} in{G1722} Christ,{G5547} even as{G2531} I teach{G1321} everywhere{G3837} in{G1722} every{G3956} church.{G1577}

Now{G1161} some{G5100} are puffed up,{G5448} as though{G5613} I{G3450} were{G2064} not{G3361} coming{G2064} to{G4314} you.{G5209}

But{G1161} I will come{G2064} to{G4314} you{G5209} shortly,{G5030} if{G1437} the Lord{G2962} will;{G2309} and{G2532} I will know,{G1097} not{G3756} the word{G3056} of them that{G3588} are puffed up,{G5448} but{G235} the power.{G1411}

For{G1063} the kingdom{G932} of God{G2316} is not{G3756} in{G1722} word,{G3056} but{G235} in{G1722} power.{G1411}

What{G5101} will ye?{G2309} shall I come{G2064} unto{G4314} you{G5209} with{G1722} a rod,{G4464} or{G2228} in{G1722} love{G26} and{G5037} a spirit{G4151} of gentleness?{G4236}
