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
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
instructors
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
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?
