1 Corinto 4
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
4 Ipalagay nga kami ng sinoman na mga ministro ni Cristo, at mga katiwala ng mga hiwaga ng Dios.
2 Bukod dito'y kinakailangan sa mga katiwala, na ang bawa't isa ay maging tapat.
3 Datapuwa't sa ganang akin ay isang bagay na totoong maliit ang ako'y siyasatin ninyo, o ng pagsisiyasat ng tao: oo, ako'y hindi nagsisiyasat sa aking sarili.
4 Sapagka't wala akong nalalamang anomang laban sa aking sarili; bagaman hindi dahil dito'y inaaring-ganap ako: sapagka't ang nagsisiyasat sa akin ay ang Panginoon.
5 Kaya nga huwag muna kayong magsihatol ng anoman, hanggang sa dumating ang Panginoon, na siya ang maghahayag ng mga bagay na nalilihim sa kadiliman, at ipahahayag naman ang mga haka ng mga puso; at kung magkagayon ang bawa't isa ay magkakaroon ng kapurihan sa Dios.
6 Ang mga bagay ngang ito, mga kapatid, ay inianyo ko sa halimbawa sa aking sarili at kay Apolos dahil sa inyo; upang sa amin ay mangatuto kayo na huwag magsihigit sa mga bagay na nangasusulat; upang ang sinoman sa inyo ay huwag magpalalo ang isa laban sa iba.
7 Sapagka't sino ang gumawa na ikaw ay matangi? at anong nasa iyo na hindi mo tinanggap? nguni't kung tinanggap mo, ay bakit mo ipinagmamapuri na tulad sa hindi mo tinanggap?
8 Kayo'y mga busog na, kayo'y mayayaman na, kayo'y nangaghari nang wala kami: at ibig ko sanang mangaghari kayo, upang kami nama'y mangagharing kasama ninyo.
9 Sapagka't iniisip ko, na pinalitaw ng Dios kaming mga apostol na mga kahulihulihan sa lahat, na tulad sa mga itinalaga sa kamatayan: sapagka't kami'y ginawang panoorin ng sanglibutan, at ng mga anghel, at ng mga tao.
10 Kami'y mga mangmang dahil kay Cristo, nguni't kayo'y marurunong kay Cristo; kami'y mahihina, nguni't kayo'y malalakas; kayo'y may karangalan, datapuwa't kami ay walang kapurihan.
11 Hanggang sa oras na ito'y nangagugutom kami, at nangauuhaw, at mga hubad, at mga tinampal, at wala kaming tiyak na tahanan;
12 At kami'y nangagpapagal, na nangagsisigawa ng aming sariling mga kamay: bagama't inuupasala, ay kami'y nangagpapala; bagama't mga pinaguusig, ay nangagtitiis kami;
13 Bagama't mga sinisiraangpuri, ay aming pinamamanhikan: kami'y naging tulad ng yagit sa sanglibutan, sukal ng lahat ng mga bagay hanggang ngayon.
14 Hindi ko isinusulat ang mga bagay na ito upang kayo'y hiyain, kundi upang paalalahanan kayong tulad sa aking mga minamahal na anak.
15 Sapagka't bagaman mangagkaroon kayo ng sampung libong mga guro kay Cristo, ay wala nga kayong maraming mga ama; sapagka't kay Cristo Jesus ipinanganak ko kayo sa pamamagitan ng evangelio.
16 Ipinamamanhik ko nga sa inyo, na kayo'y maging mga tagatulad sa akin.
17 Dahil dito'y aking sinugo sa inyo si Timoteo, na aking minamahal at tapat na anak sa Panginoon, na siya ang sa inyo'y magpapaalaala ng aking mga daang nanga kay Cristo, gaya ng itinuturo ko saan mang dako sa bawa't iglesia.
18 Ang mga iba nga'y nangagpapalalo, na waring hindi na ako mapapariyan sa inyo.
19 Nguni't ako'y paririyan agad sa inyo, kung loloobin ng Panginoon; at aking aalamin, hindi ang salita ng nangagpapalalo, kundi ang kapangyarihan.
20 Sapagka't ang kaharian ng Dios ay hindi sa salita, kundi sa kapangyarihan.
21 Anong ibig ninyo? paririyan baga ako sa inyo na may panghampas, o sa pagibig, at sa espiritu ng kahinahunan?

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?
1 Corinthians 4
New King James Version
Stewards of the Mysteries of God
4 Let a man so consider us, as (A)servants of Christ (B)and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human [a]court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. 5 (C)Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to (D)light the hidden things of darkness and (E)reveal the [b]counsels of the hearts. (F)Then each one’s praise will come from God.
Fools for Christ’s Sake
6 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be [c]puffed up on behalf of one against the other. 7 For who [d]makes you differ from another? And (G)what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
8 You are already full! (H)You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us—and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you! 9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a (I)spectacle [e]to the world, both to angels and to men. 10 We are (J)fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! (K)We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! 11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. 12 (L)And we labor, working with our own hands. (M)Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; 13 being defamed, we [f]entreat. (N)We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.
Paul’s Paternal Care
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but (O)as my beloved children I warn you. 15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for (P)in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 16 Therefore I urge you, (Q)imitate me. 17 For this reason I have sent (R)Timothy to you, (S)who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will (T)remind you of my ways in Christ, as I (U)teach everywhere (V)in every church.
18 (W)Now some are [g]puffed up, as though I were not coming to you. 19 (X)But I will come to you shortly, (Y)if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power. 20 For (Z)the kingdom of God is not in word but in (AA)power. 21 What do you want? (AB)Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
