Първо Коринтяни 4
Библия, синодално издание
4 (A)И тъй, нека всякой човек ни счита за служители Христови и разпоредници на тайните Божии;
2 (B)а това, що нататък се иска от разпоредниците, то е – всеки от тях да се окаже верен.
3 Малко ми струва да бъда съден от вас, или от човешки съд; но и аз сам себе си не съдя.
4 (C)Защото в нищо виновен не се съзнавам, ала с това се не оправдавам: съдия ми е Господ.
5 (D)Прочее, за нищо не съдете преди време, докле не дойде Господ, Който и ще изнесе на виделина тайните на мрака и ще извади наяве намеренията на сърцето; и тогава похвалата ще бъде всекиму от Бога.
6 (E)Това, братя, приспособих към себе си и Аполоса зарад вас, за да се научите от нас да не мъдрувате повече от онова, що е писано, и да се не гордеете един пред други за някого си.
7 (F)Защото, кой те отличава от другите? Какво имаш, което да не си получил? А щом си получил, защо се хвалиш, като да не си получил?
8 Преситени сте вече, обогатихте се вече и се възцарихте без нас; о, да бяхте се възцарили, та и ние да царуваме с вас!
9 (G)Защото мисля, че нас, апостолите, Бог постави най-последни, като осъдени на смърт; понеже станахме зрелище на света на Ангели и човеци.
10 Ние сме безумни зарад Христа, а вие сте мъдри в Христа; ние сме немощни, а вие силни; вие сте славни, а ние безчестни.
11 Дори до тоя час и гладуваме, и жадуваме, и ходим голи, и ни бият по лице, и се скитаме,
12 (H)и се трудим, работейки с ръцете си. Злословени – благославяме; гонени – търпим;
13 хулени – молим се. Станахме като измет на света, измет за всички досега.
14 Не за да ви посрамя пиша това, а ви поучавам като мои възлюбени чеда.
15 (I)Защото, ако имате и десетки хиляди наставници в Христа, много бащи нямате, понеже аз ви родих в Иисуса Христа чрез Евангелието.
16 Прочее, моля ви, бъдете ми подражатели, както съм аз на Христа.
17 За това пратих при вас Тимотея, който ми е възлюбено и вярно чедо у Господа; той ще ви напомни моите пътища в Христа, както уча навред във всяка църква.
18 Някои си се възгордели, като че няма да дойда при вас;
19 (J)но аз ще дойда скоро при вас, ако ще Господ, и ще позная не думите, а силата на ония, които са се възгордели;
20 (K)защото царството Божие е не в думи, а в сила.
21 (L)Какво искате? С палица ли да дойда при вас или с любов и кротък дух?
1 Corinthians 4
English Standard Version
The Ministry of Apostles
4 This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and (A)stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 (B)For I am not aware of anything against myself, (C)but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore (D)do not pronounce judgment before the time, (E)before the Lord comes, (F)who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. (G)Then each one will receive his commendation from God.
6 I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers,[a] that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may (H)be puffed up in favor of one against another. 7 For who sees anything different in you? (I)What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?
8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you! 9 For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, (J)like men sentenced to death, because we (K)have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. 10 (L)We are fools for Christ's sake, but (M)you are wise in Christ. (N)We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. 11 To the present hour (O)we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and (P)buffeted and (Q)homeless, 12 and we (R)labor, working with our own hands. (S)When reviled, we bless; (T)when persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we entreat. (U)We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, (V)the refuse of all things.
14 I do not write these things (W)to make you ashamed, but to admonish you (X)as my beloved children. 15 For (Y)though you have countless[b] guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For (Z)I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 16 I urge you, then, (AA)be imitators of me. 17 That is why (AB)I sent[c] you Timothy, (AC)my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ,[d] (AD)as I teach them everywhere in every church. 18 Some are (AE)arrogant, (AF)as though I were not coming to you. 19 But (AG)I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power. 20 For (AH)the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. 21 What do you wish? (AI)Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love in a spirit of gentleness?

1 Corinthians 4
Wycliffe Bible
4 So a man guess us [So a man guess, or deem, us], as ministers of Christ, and dispensers of the mysteries of God.
2 Now it is sought here among the dispensers, that a man be found true.
3 And to me it is for the least thing, that I be deemed of you, or of man's day; but neither I deem myself.
4 For I am nothing over-trusting to myself, but not in this thing I am justified [Soothly I am nothing guilty to myself, but not in this thing am I justified]; for he that deemeth me, is the Lord.
5 Therefore do not ye deem before the time, till that the Lord come, which shall lighten [alighten] the hid things of darknesses, and shall show the counsels of hearts; and then praising shall be to each man of God.
6 And, brethren, I have transfigured these things into me and into Apollos, for you; that in us ye learn, lest over that it is written, one against another be blown with pride for another.[a]
7 Who deemeth thee? And what hast thou, that thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, what gloriest thou, as thou haddest not received?
8 Now ye be filled [Now ye be full-filled], now ye be made rich; ye reign without us; and I would that ye reign, that also we reign with you.
9 And I guess, that God showed us the last apostles, as those that be sent to the death [Soothly I ween, that God showed us the last apostles, as made ready to death]; for we be made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.
10 We fools for Christ, but ye prudent in Christ; we frail [we sick], but ye strong; ye noble, but we unnoble.
11 Till into this hour we hunger, and thirst, and be naked, and be smitten with buffets, and we be unstable [and we be unstable, moving from place to place],
12 and we travail working with our hands; we be cursed, and we bless; we suffer persecution, and we abide long [and we sustain, or abide long];
13 we be blasphemed, and we beseech; as cleansings of this world we be made the out-casting [we be made the parings, or out-castings,] of all things till yet.
14 I write not these things, that I confound you, but I warn you as my most dear-worthy sons.
15 For why if ye have ten thousand of under-masters in Christ, but not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have engendered you by the gospel [for why in Christ Jesus I have gendered you by the gospel].
16 Therefore, brethren, I pray you [Therefore I pray you], be ye followers of me, as I of Christ.
17 Therefore I sent to you Timothy, which is my most dear-worthy son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall teach you my ways [which shall admonish you, or teach, my ways], that be in Christ Jesus; as I teach every where in each church.
18 As though I should not come to you, so some be blown with pride [so some be in-blown with pride];
19 but I shall come to you soon, if God will; and I shall know not the word of them that be blown with pride [that be in-blown with pride], but the virtue.
20 For the realm of God is not in word, but in virtue.
21 What will ye? Shall I come to you in a rod, or in charity, and in a spirit of mildness?

1 Corinthians 4
King James Version
4 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3 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 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5 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.
6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye 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.
7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 For I think that God hath 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.
10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
17 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.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19 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.
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
