1 Corintios 4
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

Solo Dios es juez

4 Que todo hombre nos considere de esta manera: como servidores de Cristo(A) y administradores(B) de los misterios de Dios(C). 2 Ahora bien, lo que se requiere además de[a] los administradores es que cada uno sea hallado fiel. 3 En cuanto a mí, es de poca importancia que yo sea juzgado por ustedes o por cualquier tribunal[b] humano. De hecho, ni aun yo me juzgo a mí mismo. 4 Porque no estoy consciente(D) de nada en contra mía. Pero no por eso estoy sin culpa(E), pues el que me juzga es el Señor. 5 Por tanto, no juzguen(F) antes de tiempo[c], sino esperen hasta que el Señor venga(G), el cual sacará a la luz las cosas ocultas en las tinieblas y también pondrá de manifiesto los designios de los corazones(H). Entonces cada uno recibirá de parte de Dios(I) la alabanza que le corresponda.

6 Esto, hermanos, lo he aplicado en sentido figurado a mí mismo y a Apolos por amor a ustedes, para que en nosotros aprendan a no sobrepasar lo que está escrito(J), para que ninguno de ustedes se vuelva arrogante[d](K) a favor del uno contra el otro(L). 7 Porque ¿quién te distingue? ¿Qué tienes que no recibiste? Y si lo recibiste, ¿por qué te jactas como si no lo hubieras recibido(M)? 8 Ya están saciados, ya se han hecho ricos(N), ya han llegado a reinar sin necesidad de nosotros. Ojalá hubieran llegado a reinar, para que nosotros reináramos también con ustedes. 9 Porque pienso que Dios nos ha exhibido a nosotros los apóstoles en último lugar, como a sentenciados a muerte(O). Porque hemos llegado a ser un espectáculo para el mundo(P), tanto para los ángeles como para los hombres.

10 Nosotros somos necios por amor de Cristo(Q), pero ustedes, prudentes en Cristo(R). Nosotros somos débiles(S), pero ustedes, fuertes. Ustedes son distinguidos, pero nosotros, sin honra. 11 Hasta el momento[e] presente pasamos hambre y sed, andamos mal vestidos[f], somos maltratados y no tenemos dónde vivir(T). 12 Nos agotamos trabajando con nuestras propias manos(U). Cuando nos ultrajan(V), bendecimos. Cuando somos perseguidos(W), lo soportamos. 13 Cuando hablan mal de nosotros, tratamos de reconciliar[g]. Hemos llegado a ser, hasta ahora, la basura del mundo, el desecho de todo(X).

14 No les escribo esto para avergonzarlos(Y), sino para amonestarlos como a hijos(Z) míos amados. 15 Porque aunque ustedes tengan innumerables maestros en Cristo(AA), sin embargo no tienen muchos padres; pues en Cristo Jesús(AB) yo los engendré(AC) por medio del evangelio(AD). 16 Por tanto, los exhorto: sean imitadores míos(AE).

17 Por esta razón les he enviado a Timoteo(AF), que es mi hijo amado(AG) y fiel en el Señor. Él les recordará mis caminos, los caminos en Cristo, tal como yo enseño en todas partes, en cada iglesia(AH). 18 Algunos de ustedes se han vuelto arrogantes[h](AI), como si yo no hubiera de ir a verlos(AJ). 19 Pero iré a verlos(AK) pronto, si el Señor quiere(AL), y conoceré, no las palabras[i] de los arrogantes[j](AM) sino el poder que tienen. 20 Porque el reino de Dios no consiste en palabras[k], sino en poder(AN). 21 ¿Qué quieren? ¿Iré a ustedes con vara(AO), o con amor y espíritu de mansedumbre?

1 Corinthians 4
Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Consider Us As God’s Assistants And Stewards. Don’t Judge Anything Before The Time

4 Let a person be considering[a] us in-this-manner: as attendants[b] of Christ and stewards[c] of the mysteries of God. 2 Here[d], furthermore, it is sought in[e] stewards that one be found faithful[f]. 3 Now to me, it is a very small thing that I should be examined[g] by you, or by a human day of judgment. But I do not even examine myself ! 4 For I am conscious of nothing against myself, but I have not been declared-right[h] by this, but the One examining me is the Lord. 5 So then do not be judging anything before the time, until the Lord comes, Who will both[i] illuminate the hidden things of the darkness and reveal the motives[j] of the hearts. And at-that-time the praise[k] will come to each one from God.

Brothers, Learn From Apollos And Paul Not To Be Puffed Up About God’s Ministers

6 Now brothers, I applied[l] these things to myself and Apollos for your sakes, in order that in us you might learn the saying “Do not go[m] beyond the things which have been written”— in order that you might not be puffed-up, one on behalf of the one against the other. 7 For who discerns[n] you to be superior? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if indeed you received it, why do you boast as-though not having received it?

For God Has Displayed Us Apostles As Last And Lowest In This World

8 You are already satisfied[o]! You already became-rich! You became-kings[p] without us! And o-that indeed you became-kings, in order that we also might reign with you. 9 For I think God displayed[q] us the apostles as last[r], like ones condemned-to-death— because we were-made[s] a spectacle[t] to the world, both to angels and to people. 10 We are foolish ones for the sake of Christ, but you are wise ones in Christ. We are weak ones, but you are strong ones. You are distinguished ones, but we are dishonored ones. 11 Until the present hour indeed we hunger, and thirst, and are naked[u], and are beaten, and live-transiently[v], 12 and labor— working with our own hands. 13 While being reviled[w], we bless; while being persecuted, we endure; while being slandered, we conciliate[x]. We were-made[y] like the sweepings[z] of the world, the scum[aa] of all things, up to now.

I Am Writing To Admonish You As My Children. Be Imitators of Me

14 I am writing these things not shaming you, but admonishing you as my beloved children. 15 For if you should have ten-thousand tutors[ab] in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers. For I fathered you in Christ Jesus through the good-news. 16 Therefore I exhort you— be[ac] imitators of me. 17 For this reason I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you as to my ways in Christ Jesus, just as I am teaching everywhere in every church. 18 Now some were puffed-up as-if I were not coming to you. 19 But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills. And I shall come-to-know not the talk[ad] of the ones having been puffed-up, but the power. 20 For the kingdom of God is not in[ae] talk, but in power. 21 What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?
