1 Corinthians 4:6-8
Wycliffe Bible
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.

1 Corinthians 4:6-8
New Matthew Bible
6 Brethren, I have explained these things with reference to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that you might learn from us: so that no one accounts of himself beyond what is written above, so that no one swells against another for any man’s cause. 7 For who prefers you? What do you have that was not given to you? If you have received it, why do you glory as though you had not received it? 8 Now you are full, now you are made rich; you reign as kings without us. And I would to God you did reign, so that we might reign with you.

1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied unto mine own self and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye might learn [b]by us, that no man presume above that which is written, that one swell not against another for any man’s cause.
7 [c]For who separateth thee? and what hast thou, that thou hast not received? if thou hast received it, why rejoicest thou, as though [d]thou hadst not received it?
8 [e]Now ye are full: now ye are made rich: ye reign as kings without us, and would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

- 1 Corinthians 4:6 Having rejected their judgment, he setteth forth himself again as a singular example of modesty, as one which concealing in this Epistle those factious teacher’s names, doubted not to put down his own name and Apollos’ in their place, and took upon him, as it were, their shame: so far was he from preferring himself to any.
- 1 Corinthians 4:6 By our example, which chose rather to take other men’s faults upon us, than to carpe any by name.
- 1 Corinthians 4:7 He showeth a good means to bridle pride: first, if thou consider how rightly thou exemptest thyself out of the number of others, seeing thou art a man thyself: again, if thou consider that although thou have something more than other men have, yet thou hast it not but by God’s bountifulness. And what wise man is he that will brag of another’s goodness, and that against God?
- 1 Corinthians 4:7 There is nothing then in us of nature, that is worthy of commendation: but all that we have, we have it of grace, which the Pelagians and half Pelagians will not confess.
- 1 Corinthians 4:8 He descendeth to a most grave mock, to cause these ambitious men to blush even against their wills.
1 Corinthians 4:6-8
Authorized (King James) Version
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.
