Book of Common Prayer

4 This is how houtōs one anthrōpos should regard logizomai us hēmeis, as hōs servants hypēretēs of Christ Christos and kai stewards oikonomos of God’ s theos mysteries mystērion. ² In this connection hōde then loipos, it is required zēteō of en · ho stewards oikonomos that hina they tis be found heuriskō trustworthy pistos. ³ But de for me egō it is eimi a matter of the least consequence elachistos that hina I should be judged anakrinō by hypo you hymeis or ē by hypo any human anthrōpinos court hēmera. In fact alla, I do anakrinō not even oude judge anakrinō myself emautou. ⁴ For gar I am synoida not aware of synoida anything oudeis against myself emautou, yet alla not ou because en of this houtos am I acquitted dikaioō. It is eimi the ho · de Lord kyrios who judges anakrinō me egō. ⁵ So then hōste, stop mē passing judgment on krinō anything tis before pro the time kairos, before heōs an the ho Lord kyrios comes erchomai. He hos · kai will bring to light phōtizō the ho hidden kryptos things of ho darkness skotos and kai will disclose phaneroō the ho motives boulē of the ho heart kardia. · kai At that time tote · ho praise epainos will come ginomai to each hekastos from apo · ho God theos.

⁶ I have applied metaschēmatizō all this houtos · de to eis myself emautou and kai Apollos Apollōs for dia your hymeis benefit dia, brothers adelphos, that hina you may learn manthanō by en us hēmeis · ho not mē to go beyond hyper what hos is written graphō, that hina none mē heis of you may be puffed up physioō in favor hyper of · ho one heis against kata · ho another heteros. ⁷ For gar who tis sees anything superior in diakrinō you sy? What tis · de do you have echō that hos you did not ou receive lambanō? And de if ei · kai you received lambanō it, why tis do you boast kauchaomai as hōs if you did not mē receive lambanō it?

⁸ Already ēdē you have eimi all you want korennymi! Already ēdē you are rich plouteō! Without chōris us hēmeis you have begun to reign basileuō! And kai would ophelon that you did reign basileuō, so that hina · kai we hēmeis could reign with symbasileuō you hymeis! ⁹ For gar it seems to me dokeō that · ho God theos has displayed apodeiknymi us hēmeis, the ho apostles apostolos, last eschatos, as hōs men sentenced to death epithanatios, because hoti we have become ginomai a spectacle theatron to the ho world kosmos, both kai to angels angelos and kai to men anthrōpos. ¹⁰ We hēmeis are fools mōros for dia Christ Christos, but de you hymeis are men of wisdom phronimos in en Christ Christos! We hēmeis are weak asthenēs, but de you hymeis are strong ischuros! You hymeis are distinguished endoxos, but de we hēmeis are dishonored atimos! ¹¹ To achri this ho present arti hour hōra · kai we are hungry peinaō and kai thirsty dipsaō, · kai poorly clothed gymniteuō, · kai knocked about kolaphizō, and kai homeless astateō. ¹² · kai We labor kopiaō, working ergazomai with ho our own idios hands cheir. When reviled loidoreō, we bless eulogeō; when persecuted diōkō, we endure anechōmai; ¹³ when slandered dysphēmeō, we respond kindly parakaleō. We have become ginomai, as hōs it were , the scum perikatharma of the ho world kosmos, the refuse peripsēma of all things pas, even heōs now arti.

¹⁴ I am graphō not ou writing graphō these things houtos to shame entrepō you hymeis, but alla to admonish noutheteō you as hōs my egō dear agapētos children teknon. ¹⁵ For gar though ean you have echō innumerable myrios guardians paidagōgos in en Christ Christos, you do not ou have many polys fathers patēr, because gar I egō became gennaō your hymeis father gennaō in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous through dia the ho gospel euangelion. ¹⁶ I urge parakaleō you hymeis, therefore oun, be ginomai imitators mimētēs of me egō.

³⁵ Again palin, on the ho following epaurion day , John Iōannēs was standing histēmi · ho there with kai two dyo of ek · ho his autos disciples mathētēs. ³⁶ · kai Looking emblepō intently at · ho Jesus Iēsous as he walked peripateō about , John said legō, “ Behold ide, the ho Lamb amnos of ho God theos!” ³⁷ · kai The ho two dyo disciples mathētēs heard akouō him autos say laleō this, and kai they followed akoloutheō · ho Jesus Iēsous. ³⁸ When Jesus Iēsous turned strephō around · de · ho and kai saw theaomai them autos following akoloutheō him, he said legō to them autos, “ What tis do you want zēteō?” They ho · de said legō to him autos, “ Rabbi rhabbi” ( which hos translated methermēneuō means legō “ Teacher didaskalos”), “ where pou are you staying menō?” ³⁹ He said legō to them autos, “ Come erchomai and kai you will see horaō.” So oun they went erchomai and kai saw where pou he was staying menō, and kai they remained menō with para him autos · ho that ekeinos day hēmera, for it was eimi about hōs the tenth dekatos hour hōra. ⁴⁰ Andrew Andreas, the ho brother adelphos of Simon Simōn Peter Petros, was eimi one heis of ek the ho two dyo disciples who ho heard akouō John Iōannēs and kai followed akoloutheō Jesus autos. ⁴¹ The first thing prōton he houtos did was to find heuriskō · ho his own idios brother adelphos · ho Simon Simōn and kai say legō to him autos, “ We have found heuriskō the ho Messiah Messias!” ( which hos is eimi translated methermēneuō “ Christ Christos”). ⁴² He brought agō him autos to pros · ho Jesus Iēsous. Jesus Iēsous looked emblepō at him autos · ho intently and said legō, “ You sy are eimi Simon Simōn, the ho son hyios of John Iōannēs; you sy will be called kaleō Cephas Kēphas” ( which hos is translated hermēneuō “ Peter Petros”).
