哥林多前書 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
基督的使徒
4 因此,人應該把我們當作是基督的僕人,是上帝奧祕之事的管家。 2 對管家的要求是忠心。 3 我對你們或別人給我的評價毫不介意,我也不評價我自己。 4 就算我今日問心無愧,也不能自以為義,因為評價我的是主。 5 所以,時候未到,不可妄下斷語。到主耶穌再來的時候,祂會揭開暗中的隱情,使人心裡的動機顯露。到時候上帝會給各人應得的稱讚。
6 弟兄姊妹,為了你們的益處,我以亞波羅和自己作例子,好讓你們效法我們不越過聖經的準則,免得有人自高自大、厚此薄彼。 7 誰使你與眾不同呢?你有哪一樣不是領受的呢?既然一切都是領受的,你為什麼還自誇,好像不是領受的? 8 你們已經飽足了,富有了,不需要我們,自己已經作王了。我倒希望你們真的能作王,好讓我們也和你們一同作王。 9 我想,上帝把我們使徒排在隊伍的末尾,好像被判了死罪的囚犯,讓我們成了一台戲,給全宇宙看,就是給世人和天使觀看。
10 我們為了基督的緣故被人看為愚昧,你們在基督裡倒成了聰明人;我們軟弱,你們倒強壯;你們受人尊敬,我們倒被人藐視。 11 我們至今還是又饑又渴,衣不蔽體,遭受毒打,居無定所, 12 還要親手勞作。我們被人咒罵,就為對方祝福;受人迫害,就逆來順受; 13 被人毀謗,就好言相勸。人們至今仍將我們看作世上的廢物,萬物中的渣滓。
14 我之所以寫這些事,並非是叫你們羞愧,而是像勸誡我親愛的兒女一樣勸誡你們。 15 雖然有千萬老師將基督的事教導你們,但父親並不多,因為我藉著福音在基督耶穌裡成為你們的父親。 16 所以,我勸你們效法我。 17 正因如此,我派了提摩太去你們那裡。他在主裡忠心耿耿,是我所愛的孩子。他會提醒你們我在基督裡如何行事為人,在各地、各教會如何教導人。
18 你們當中有些人以為我不會再去你們那裡,就傲慢自大起來。 19 但主若許可,我會很快去你們那裡。那時我要看看這些驕傲的人究竟是只會空談,還是真有上帝的權能。 20 因為上帝的國不在於空談,而在於權能。 21 到底你們要什麼呢?要我帶著刑杖去呢?還是要我帶著溫柔慈愛的心去呢?
고린도전서 4
Korean Living Bible
4 그렇다면 사람들은 마땅히 우리를 그리스도의 일꾼이며 하나님의 비밀을 맡은 사람으로 여겨야 합니다.
2 이런 것을 맡은 사람에게 요구되는 것은 충성된 자로 인정을 받는 것입니다.
3 나는 여러분이나 다른 어떤 사람에게 판단받는 것을 대수롭지 않게 생각하며 나도 나 자신을 판단하지 않습니다.
4 내가 양심에 가책을 받는 일은 없지만 그렇다고 죄가 없는 것은 아닙니다. 오직 나를 판단하시는 분은 주님이십니다.
5 그러므로 여러분은 최후의 심판 때까지 아무것도 판단하지 말고 주님이 오실 때까지 기다리십시오. 주님이 오시면 어둠 속에 감추어진 것을 밝혀내고 사람들의 마음속 생각을 드러내실 것입니다. 그 때에는 각 사람이 하나님께 칭찬을 받을 것입니다.
사도의 교훈
6 형제 여러분, 나는 여러분을 위하여 나 자신과 아볼로의 경우를 들어서 말하였습니다. 그것은 여러분이 기록된 말씀의 범위를 넘어서지 말라는 말의 의미를 우리에게 배워서 어떤 사람은 자랑하고 어떤 사람은 멸시하는 일이 없도록 하기 위한 것입니다.
7 누가 여러분을 남달리 뛰어나게 하였습니까? 여러분이 가진 것 중에 하나님에게 받지 않은 것이 무엇입니까? 여러분이 가진 것이 하나님에게 받은 것이라면 어째서 받지 않은 것처럼 자랑합니까?
8 여러분은 원하는 것을 이미 다 얻었고 이미 부요해졌으며 우리 없이도 왕노릇 하고 있다고 뽐내고 있습니다. 여러분이 정말 왕이 되었다면 좋겠습니다. 그러면 우리도 여러분과 함께 왕노릇 할 수 있을 것입니다.
9 내가 생각하기에는 하나님이 우리 사도들을 사형장의 죄수들처럼 제일 천한 자리에 세우셔서 우리가 온 세상 사람들과 천사들에게 구경거리가 되었습니다.
10 우리는 그리스도를 위해 어리석은 사람이 되었으나 여러분은 그리스도 안에서 지혜로운 사람이 되었고 우리는 약하나 여러분은 강하며 여러분은 존경을 받으나 우리는 천대를 받습니다.
11 바로 이 시간까지 우리는 굶주리고 목마르고 헐벗고 매맞으며 집 없이 떠돌아다니고
12 생활비를 위해 수고하며 손수 일해 왔습니다. 그리고 욕을 얻어먹어도 축복하고 핍박을 당해도 참고
13 비방을 받아도 좋은 말로 달래니 지금까지 우리가 세상의 쓰레기와 만물의 찌꺼기처럼 되었습니다.
14 내가 이것을 쓰는 것은 여러분을 부끄럽게 하려는 것이 아니라 내 사랑하는 자녀처럼 훈계하려는 것입니다.
15 여러분이 그리스도 안에서 스승은 얼마든지 모실 수 있으나 아버지는 많이 모실 수 없습니다. 나는 여러분에게 기쁜 소식을 전함으로 그리스도 예수님 안에서 여러분의 아버지가 되었습니다.
16 그러므로 내가 여러분에게 권합니다. 나를 본받으십시오.
17 이런 이유 때문에 내가 주님 안에서 신실한 나의 사랑하는 아들 디모데를 여러분에게 보냈으니 내가 각처의 모든 교회에서 가르치는 것과 일치하는 그리스도 예수님 안에서의 내 행동 원리를 그가 여러분에게 말해 줄 것입니다.
18 여러분 가운데는 내가 여러분에게 가지 않을 것으로 생각하고 교만해진 사람들이 있습니다.
19 그러나 주께서 원하시면 내가 속히 여러분에게 가서 그 교만한 사람들의 말이 아니라 그들의 능력을 알아보겠습니다.
20 하나님의 나라는 말에 있는 것이 아니라 능력에 있기 때문입니다.
21 여러분은 어느 것을 더 원하십니까? 내가 매를 가지고 가는 것을 원하십니까? 아니면 사랑과 부드러운 마음으로 가는 것을 원하십니까?
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?
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?
