Mga Apostol ni Cristo

4 Dapat ninyong kilalanin na kami'y mga lingkod ni Cristo at katiwala ng mga hiwaga ng Diyos. 2 Ang katiwala'y kailangang maging tapat sa kanyang panginoon. 3 Walang anuman sa akin kung ako'y hatulan ninyo, o ng alinmang hukuman ng tao; ako man ay hindi humahatol sa aking sarili. 4 Malinis(A) ang aking budhi, subalit hindi iyon katibayan na ako'y walang kasalanan. Ang Panginoon ang humahatol sa akin. 5 Kaya't huwag kayong humatol nang wala pa sa panahon; maghintay kayo sa pagdating ng Panginoon. Siya ang maglalantad ng mga bagay na ngayo'y natatago sa kadiliman at maghahayag ng mga lihim na hangarin ng bawat isa. Sa panahong iyon, bawat isa'y bibigyan ng Diyos ng angkop na parangal.

6 Mga kapatid, kami ni Apolos ang ginamit kong halimbawa para sa inyong kapakinabangan, upang matutuhan ninyo ang kahulugan ng kasabihang, “Huwag lalampas sa nasusulat.” Huwag ninyong ipagmalaki ang isang tao upang hamakin ang iba. 7 Paano kayo nakakahigit sa iba? Hindi ba't lahat ng nasa inyo'y ibinigay lamang sa inyo ng Diyos? Kung gayon, bakit ninyo ipinagyayabang iyon na parang hindi kaloob sa inyo?

8 Kayo pala'y nasisiyahan na! Mayayaman na pala kayo! Kayo pala'y mga hari na, at kami'y hindi. Sana nga'y naging hari na kayo upang kami man ay maghari ding kasama ninyo. 9 Sa palagay ko, kaming mga apostol ang ginawa ng Diyos na pinakahamak sa lahat ng tao. Ang katulad namin ay mga taong nahatulan ng kamatayan; isang panoorin para sa sanlibutan, ng mga anghel at ng mga tao. 10 Kami'y mga hangal alang-alang kay Cristo; kayo nama'y marurunong dahil kay Cristo! Mahihina kami; kayo nama'y malalakas. Hinahamak kami; kayo nama'y pinaparangalan! 11 Hanggang sa oras na ito, kami'y nagugutom, nauuhaw, at halos hubad; kami'y pinapahirapan at walang matirhan. 12 Nagpapakahirap(B) kami at nagbabanat ng buto para kumita ng ikabubuhay. Idinadalangin namin ang mga lumalait sa amin; kapag kami'y inuusig, nagtitiis kami. 13 Kapag kami'y sinisiraan, mahinahon kaming sumasagot. Hanggang ngayon, kami'y parang maruming basahan, pinakahamak sa lahat ng tao sa mundo.

14 Ito'y isinusulat ko, hindi upang hiyain kayo, kundi upang pangaralan bilang minamahal kong mga anak. 15 Kahit magkaroon pa kayo ng napakaraming tagapagturo sa pamumuhay Cristiano, iisa lamang ang inyong ama. Sapagkat kayo'y naging mga anak ko sa pananampalataya kay Cristo Jesus sa pamamagitan ng Magandang Balitang ipinangaral ko sa inyo. 16 Kaya't(C) isinasamo ko sa inyo, tularan ninyo ako.

17 Dahil dito, pinapunta ko riyan si Timoteo, ang aking minamahal at tapat na anak sa Panginoon. Ipapaalala niya sa inyo ang mga patakaran ko sa buhay sa pagsunod kay Cristo Jesus.[a] Ang mga patakaran ding iyon ang itinuturo ko sa bawat iglesya sa lahat ng dako.

18 Nagmamalaki ang ilan sa inyo dahil ang akala nila'y hindi na ako pupunta riyan. 19 Ngunit kung loloobin ng Panginoon, ako'y pupunta riyan sa lalong madaling panahon. Titingnan ko kung anong kapangyarihan ang ipinagmamalaki ng mga iyan, at hindi lamang ang kanilang sinasabi. 20 Sapagkat ang paghahari ng Diyos ay hindi sa salita, kundi sa kapangyarihan. 21 Alin ang gusto ninyo? Dumating ako riyan na may dalang pamalo, o mayroong diwa ng pag-ibig at kahinahunan?

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).
