1 Corinto 4
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version

Ang Gawain ng mga Apostol

4 Kaya't dapat kaming ituring ng tao bilang mga tagapaglingkod ni Cristo, at mga katiwala ng mga hiwaga ng Diyos. 2 Bukod dito, inaasahan sa mga katiwala na sila'y matagpuang tapat. 3 Ngunit para sa akin ay napakaliit na bagay ang hatulan ninyo ako o ng hukuman ng tao. Ni hindi nga ako humahatol sa aking sarili. 4 Sapagkat wala akong nalalamang anuman laban sa aking sarili, ngunit hindi ibig sabihin nito na ako'y walang sala. Ang humahatol sa akin ay ang Panginoon. 5 Kaya't huwag kayong humatol ng anuman nang wala pa sa takdang panahon, hanggang sa dumating ang Panginoon, na siyang magdadala ng liwanag ng mga bagay na nakatago sa kadiliman, at magbubunyag sa mga hangarin ng mga puso. Pagkatapos, ang bawat isa ay magkakaroon ng papuri mula sa Diyos.

6 Ang mga bagay na ito, mga kapatid, ay ginamit kong halimbawa sa aking sarili at kay Apolos para sa inyo, upang sa pamamagitan namin ay matutuhan ninyo ito: Huwag lumampas sa mga bagay na nasusulat. Sa gayon, ang sinuman sa inyo ay hindi maging palalò laban sa iba. 7 Sapagkat sino ang nagsasabing naiiba ka? At ano ang mayroon ka na hindi mo tinanggap? At kung tinanggap mo, bakit mo ipinagmamalaki na parang hindi mo ito tinanggap? 8 Nasa inyo na ang lahat ng gusto ninyo! Mayayaman na kayo! Naging mga hari kayo kahit wala kami! Naging hari nga sana kayo upang kami ay naging hari ding kasama ninyo. 9 Sapagkat sa palagay ko, kaming mga apostol ay ipinakita ng Diyos na pinakahuli sa lahat, tulad ng mga taong nahatulan ng kamatayan, sapagkat kami ay naging isang palabas na pinanonood ng sanlibutan, ng mga anghel, at ng mga tao. 10 Kami'y mga hangal dahil kay Cristo! Ngunit kayo'y marurunong kay Cristo. Kami ay mahihina, ngunit kayo'y malalakas! Kayo ay pinararangalan ngunit kami ay hinahamak! 11 Hanggang sa oras na ito ay nagugutom kami, nauuhaw, mga hubad, binubugbog, at mga pagala-gala, 12 at nagpapagod kami sa pagtatrabaho sa pamamagitan ng sarili naming mga kamay. Kapag kami'y nilalait, gumaganti kami ng pagpapala, kapag pinahihirapan, kami'y nagtitiis; 13 at kapag inaalipusta, magalang kaming sumasagot. Hanggang ngayon ay para kaming mga basura ng daigdig, dumi ng lahat ng mga bagay.

14 Hindi ko isinusulat ang mga ito upang kayo'y hiyain, kundi upang kayo ay pagpayuhan bilang aking mga minamahal na anak. 15 Sapagkat kahit magkaroon pa kayo kay Cristo ng libu-libong mga tagapagturo ay hindi naman marami ang inyong ama; sapagkat kay Cristo Jesus ako ang naging ama ninyo sa pamamagitan ng ebanghelyo. 16 Kaya't nakikiusap ako, tumulad kayo sa akin. 17 Dahil dito, pinapunta ko sa inyo si Timoteo na aking minamahal at tapat na anak sa Panginoon, na siyang magpapaalala sa inyo ng aking pagtalima kay Cristo Jesus[a] katulad ng itinuturo ko sa bawat iglesya sa lahat ng dako. 18 Ngunit may mayayabang na para bang hindi na ako darating sa inyo. 19 Ngunit ako'y darating agad sa inyo, kung loloobin ng Panginoon, at malalaman ko, hindi lamang ang sinasabi ng mga taong nagyayabang diyan, kundi ang kanilang kapangyarihan. 20 Sapagkat ang kaharian ng Diyos ay hindi sa pananalita lamang, kundi sa kapangyarihan. 21 Ano'ng gusto ninyo? Pumunta ako riyan na may dalang pamalo, o may pagmamahal at may kaamuan?

The Nature of True Apostleship

4 This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants(A) of Christ and as those entrusted(B) with the mysteries(C) God has revealed. 2 Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience(D) is clear, but that does not make me innocent.(E) It is the Lord who judges me.(F) 5 Therefore judge nothing(G) before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.(H) He will bring to light(I) what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.(J)

6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.”(K) Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.(L) 7 For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive?(M) And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich!(N) You have begun to reign—and that without us! How I wish that you really had begun to reign so that we also might reign with you! 9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die(O) in the arena. We have been made a spectacle(P) to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. 10 We are fools for Christ,(Q) but you are so wise in Christ!(R) We are weak, but you are strong!(S) You are honored, we are dishonored! 11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.(T) 12 We work hard with our own hands.(U) When we are cursed, we bless;(V) when we are persecuted,(W) we endure it; 13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage(X) of the world—right up to this moment.

Paul’s Appeal and Warning

14 I am writing this not to shame you(Y) but to warn you as my dear children.(Z) 15 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father(AA) through the gospel.(AB) 16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.(AC) 17 For this reason I have sent to you(AD) Timothy,(AE) my son(AF) whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.(AG)

18 Some of you have become arrogant,(AH) as if I were not coming to you.(AI) 19 But I will come to you very soon,(AJ) if the Lord is willing,(AK) and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. 20 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of(AL) talk but of power.(AM) 21 What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline,(AN) or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?

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).
