哥林多前书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
基督的使徒
4 因此,人应该把我们当作是基督的仆人,是上帝奥秘之事的管家。 2 对管家的要求是忠心。 3 我对你们或别人给我的评价毫不介意,我也不评价我自己。 4 就算我今日问心无愧,也不能自以为义,因为评价我的是主。 5 所以,时候未到,不可妄下断语。到主耶稣再来的时候,祂会揭开暗中的隐情,使人心里的动机显露。到时候上帝会给各人应得的称赞。
6 弟兄姊妹,为了你们的益处,我以亚波罗和自己作例子,好让你们效法我们不越过圣经的准则,免得有人自高自大、厚此薄彼。 7 谁使你与众不同呢?你有哪一样不是领受的呢?既然一切都是领受的,你为什么还自夸,好像不是领受的? 8 你们已经饱足了,富有了,不需要我们,自己已经做王了。我倒希望你们真的能做王,好让我们也和你们一同做王。 9 我想,上帝把我们使徒排在队伍的末尾,好像被判了死罪的囚犯,让我们成了一台戏,给全宇宙看,就是给世人和天使观看。
10 我们为了基督的缘故被人看为愚昧,你们在基督里倒成了聪明人;我们软弱,你们倒强壮;你们受人尊敬,我们倒被人藐视。 11 我们至今还是又饥又渴,衣不蔽体,遭受毒打,居无定所, 12 还要亲手劳作。我们被人咒骂,就为对方祝福;受人迫害,就逆来顺受; 13 被人毁谤,就好言相劝。人们至今仍将我们看作世上的废物,万物中的渣滓。
14 我之所以写这些事,并非是叫你们羞愧,而是像劝诫我亲爱的儿女一样劝诫你们。 15 虽然有千万老师将基督的事教导你们,但父亲并不多,因为我借着福音在基督耶稣里成为你们的父亲。 16 所以,我劝你们效法我。 17 正因如此,我派了提摩太去你们那里。他在主里忠心耿耿,是我所爱的孩子。他会提醒你们我在基督里如何行事为人,在各地、各教会如何教导人。
18 你们当中有些人以为我不会再去你们那里,就傲慢自大起来。 19 但主若许可,我会很快去你们那里。那时我要看看这些骄傲的人究竟是只会空谈,还是真有上帝的权能。 20 因为上帝的国不在于空谈,而在于权能。 21 到底你们要什么呢?要我带着刑杖去呢?还是要我带着温柔慈爱的心去呢?
歌 林 多 前 書 4
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
基督耶稣的使徒
4 人们应该把我们当做基督的仆人,当做受委托经管上帝奥秘的人。 2 受到委托的人就必须证明自己是当之无愧的。 3 我不在意自己是受到你们、还是受到人类法庭的评判。我甚至也不评判自己。 4 我问心无愧,但这并不说明我是清白的。只有主才能评判我。 5 所以在适当的时刻到来之前,也就是在主到来之前,不要妄加评判,而要等到主的到来。他会照明隐藏在黑暗中的一切,使人内心的动机昭然若揭。那时,上帝会给每一个人应得的称赞。
6 兄弟们,我用亚波罗和我自己在这些事情上为你们举例,为的是让你们能从我们这里了解这句话的含意∶“不要逾越《经》上所说的。”这样你们才不会骄傲自满,才不会看得起这个,看不起那个。 7 谁说你比别人强呢?你所有的哪样不是赐给你的?既然你们所有的一切都是赐给你的,那么为什么你还要夸耀,就好象你们是凭自己的能力得到这些的呢?
8 你们以为自己现在已有了所需要的一切,已经富有了,以为没有我们你们已经当上国王了。但愿你们真当上国王,好让我们也和你们一起当国王。 9 因为在我看来,上帝似乎把我们这些使徒 [a]放在最后,像被判了死刑那样,因为我们在整个世界,无论天使还是人面前,已成为展品。 10 为了基督,我们成了傻瓜,但在基督里你们倒很聪明!我们软弱,你们倒很强壮!你们受到尊敬,我们却被人鄙视! 11 直到现在我们还饥渴交迫,衣衫褴缕,受人殴打,无家可归。 12 我们用自己的双手辛勤做工。人们咒骂我们,我们却为他们祝福;人们迫害我们,我们却忍受了它。 13 遭人诽谤时,我们却以善言相待。直到此时此刻,人们待我们尤如世上的垃圾—人间的渣滓。
14 我写这些,不是要使你们羞愧,而是把你们当做我亲爱的孩子来警告你们。 15 尽管你们在基督之中有上万个老师,但你们却没有许多父亲。在督耶稣里,我借福音 [b]成了你们的父亲。 16 所以,我恳求你们要模仿我。 17 这就是我派提摩太到你们那儿去的原因。在主内他是我心爱的忠实的儿子。他会让你们记起我在基督耶稣里的为人,我在各地的教会里所教导的一切都是言行一致的。
18 你们当中有些人自高自大,就好像我不会去你们那里一样。 19 但是,如果主允许,我不久就会到你们那里去。到那时,我就会知道,这些自高自大的人能干些什么,而不是他们能说些什么。 20 因为上帝的王国不在于言辞,而在于力量。 21 你们想要那种选择呢?
是要我给你们带来惩罚,
还是要我带着爱心与温和去呢?

1 Corinthiens 4
Louis Segond
4 Ainsi, qu'on nous regarde comme des serviteurs de Christ, et des dispensateurs des mystères de Dieu.
2 Du reste, ce qu'on demande des dispensateurs, c'est que chacun soit trouvé fidèle.
3 Pour moi, il m'importe fort peu d'être jugé par vous, ou par un tribunal humain. Je ne me juge pas non plus moi-même, car je ne me sens coupable de rien;
4 mais ce n'est pas pour cela que je suis justifié. Celui qui me juge, c'est le Seigneur.
5 C'est pourquoi ne jugez de rien avant le temps, jusqu'à ce que vienne le Seigneur, qui mettra en lumière ce qui est caché dans les ténèbres, et qui manifestera les desseins des coeurs. Alors chacun recevra de Dieu la louange qui lui sera due.
6 C'est à cause de vous, frères, que j'ai fait de ces choses une application à ma personne et à celle d'Apollos, afin que vous appreniez en nos personnes à ne pas aller au delà de ce qui est écrit, et que nul de vous ne conçoive de l'orgueil en faveur de l'un contre l'autre.
7 Car qui est-ce qui te distingue? Qu'as-tu que tu n'aies reçu? Et si tu l'as reçu, pourquoi te glorifies-tu, comme si tu ne l'avais pas reçu?
8 Déjà vous êtes rassasiés, déjà vous êtes riches, sans nous vous avez commencé à régner. Et puissiez-vous régner en effet, afin que nous aussi nous régnions avec vous!
9 Car Dieu, ce me semble, a fait de nous, apôtres, les derniers des hommes, des condamnés à mort en quelque sorte, puisque nous avons été en spectacle au monde, aux anges et aux hommes.
10 Nous sommes fous à cause de Christ; mais vous, vous êtes sages en Christ; nous sommes faibles, mais vous êtes forts. Vous êtes honorés, et nous sommes méprisés!
11 Jusqu'à cette heure, nous souffrons la faim, la soif, la nudité; nous sommes maltraités, errants çà et là;
12 nous nous fatiguons à travailler de nos propres mains; injuriés, nous bénissons; persécutés, nous supportons;
13 calomniés, nous parlons avec bonté; nous sommes devenus comme les balayures du monde, le rebut de tous, jusqu'à maintenant.
14 Ce n'est pas pour vous faire honte que j'écris ces choses; mais je vous avertis comme mes enfants bien-aimés.
15 Car, quand vous auriez dix mille maîtres en Christ, vous n'avez cependant pas plusieurs pères, puisque c'est moi qui vous ai engendrés en Jésus Christ par l'Évangile.
16 Je vous en conjure donc, soyez mes imitateurs.
17 Pour cela je vous ai envoyé Timothée, qui est mon enfant bien-aimé et fidèle dans le Seigneur; il vous rappellera quelles sont mes voies en Christ, quelle est la manière dont j'enseigne partout dans toutes les Églises.
18 Quelques-uns se sont enflés d'orgueil, comme si je ne devais pas aller chez vous.
19 Mais j'irai bientôt chez vous, si c'est la volonté du Seigneur, et je connaîtrai, non les paroles, mais la puissance de ceux qui se sont enflés.
20 Car le royaume de Dieu ne consiste pas en paroles, mais en puissance.
21 Que voulez-vous? Que j'aille chez vous avec une verge, ou avec amour et dans un esprit de douceur?
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?
1 Corinthians 4
New International Version
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?
