Reina-Valera 1960

El ministerio de los apóstoles

4 Así, pues, téngannos los hombres por servidores de Cristo, y administradores de los misterios de Dios. 2 Ahora bien, se requiere de los administradores, que cada uno sea hallado fiel. 3 Yo en muy poco tengo el ser juzgado por vosotros, o por tribunal humano; y ni aun yo me juzgo a mí mismo. 4 Porque aunque de nada tengo mala conciencia, no por eso soy justificado; pero el que me juzga es el Señor. 5 Así que, no juzguéis nada antes de tiempo, hasta que venga el Señor, el cual aclarará también lo oculto de las tinieblas, y manifestará las intenciones de los corazones; y entonces cada uno recibirá su alabanza de Dios.

6 Pero esto, hermanos, lo he presentado como ejemplo en mí y en Apolos por amor de vosotros, para que en nosotros aprendáis a no pensar más de lo que está escrito, no sea que por causa de uno, os envanezcáis unos contra otros. 7 Porque ¿quién te distingue? ¿o qué tienes que no hayas recibido? Y si lo recibiste, ¿por qué te glorías como si no lo hubieras recibido?

8 Ya estáis saciados, ya estáis ricos, sin nosotros reináis. ¡Y ojalá reinaseis, para que nosotros reinásemos también juntamente con vosotros! 9 Porque según pienso, Dios nos ha exhibido a nosotros los apóstoles como postreros, como a sentenciados a muerte; pues hemos llegado a ser espectáculo al mundo, a los ángeles y a los hombres. 10 Nosotros somos insensatos por amor de Cristo, mas vosotros prudentes en Cristo; nosotros débiles, mas vosotros fuertes; vosotros honorables, mas nosotros despreciados. 11 Hasta esta hora padecemos hambre, tenemos sed, estamos desnudos, somos abofeteados, y no tenemos morada fija. 12 Nos fatigamos trabajando con nuestras propias manos;(A) nos maldicen, y bendecimos; padecemos persecución, y la soportamos. 13 Nos difaman, y rogamos; hemos venido a ser hasta ahora como la escoria del mundo, el desecho de todos.

14 No escribo esto para avergonzaros, sino para amonestaros como a hijos míos amados. 15 Porque aunque tengáis diez mil ayos en Cristo, no tendréis muchos padres; pues en Cristo Jesús yo os engendré por medio del evangelio. 16 Por tanto, os ruego que me imitéis.(B) 17 Por esto mismo os he enviado a Timoteo, que es mi hijo amado y fiel en el Señor, el cual os recordará mi proceder en Cristo, de la manera que enseño en todas partes y en todas las iglesias. 18 Mas algunos están envanecidos, como si yo nunca hubiese de ir a vosotros. 19 Pero iré pronto a vosotros, si el Señor quiere, y conoceré, no las palabras, sino el poder de los que andan envanecidos. 20 Porque el reino de Dios no consiste en palabras, sino en poder. 21 ¿Qué queréis? ¿Iré a vosotros con vara, o con amor y espíritu de mansedumbre?

1 Corinthians 4
New English Translation

The Apostles’ Ministry

4 One[a] should think about us this way—as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Now what is sought in stewards is that one be found faithful. 3 So for me, it is a minor matter that I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted because of this. The one who judges me is the Lord. 5 So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will[b] bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition[c] from God.

6 I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters,[d] so that through us you may learn “not to go beyond what is written,” so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other. 7 For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not? 8 Already you are satisfied! Already you are rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you had become kings so that we could reign with you! 9 For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people. 10 We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored! 11 To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads. 12 We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure, 13 when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world’s dirt and scum, even now.

A Father’s Warning

14 I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children. 15 For though you may have 10,000 guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, because I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 16 I encourage you, then, be imitators of me. 17 For this reason, I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and faithful son in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ,[e] as I teach them everywhere in every church. 18 Some have become arrogant,[f] as if I were not coming to you. 19 But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power. 20 For the kingdom of God is demonstrated not in idle talk but with power. 21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline[g] or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

Footnotes

  1. 1 Corinthians 4:1 tn Here ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is both indefinite and general, “one”; “a person” (BDAG 81 s.v. 4.a.γ).
  2. 1 Corinthians 4:5 tn Grk “time, until the Lord comes, who will bring to light.”
  3. 1 Corinthians 4:5 tn Or “praise.”
  4. 1 Corinthians 4:6 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
  5. 1 Corinthians 4:17 tc ‡ Several significant mss read ᾿Ιησοῦ (Iēsou, “Jesus”) after Χριστῷ (Christō, “Christ”) in v. 17 (so P46 א C D1 33 1739 al). Western mss have κυρίῳ ᾿Ιησοῦ (kuriō Iēsou, “Lord Jesus”; D* F G), while several significant mss, as well as the majority, have only Χριστῷ here (A B D2 Ψ M sa). Once ᾿Ιησοῦ got into the text, it would continue to be copied. There is however no easy explanation for the word lacking in so many witnesses. Thus the shorter reading appears to be autographic. NA28 includes ᾿Ιησοῦ in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.
  6. 1 Corinthians 4:18 tn Grk “puffed up”; “inflated.”
  7. 1 Corinthians 4:21 tn Grk “rod.” Context indicates that this rod will be used for disciplinary purposes.sn Paul is using the term rod in this context to refer to his apostolic authority to discipline those who have become arrogant in the Corinthian church and have attempted to undermine his ministry (cf. 4:18-19).
