哥林多前書第4章 |

|
2 並且 |
|
3 我被你們論斷，或被別人論斷，我都以為極小的事；連我自己也不論斷自己。 |
|
4 因為靠自己，我並不知道甚麼 |
|
5 所以，時候未到，甚麼都不要論斷，只等主來，他要照出暗中的隱情，顯明人心的意念。那時，各人要從神那裏得著稱讚。 |
|
6 |
|
7 使你與人不同的是誰呢？你有甚麼不是領受的呢？若是領受的，為何自誇，彷若 |
|
8 |
|
9 我想神把我們使徒明明列在末後，好像定死罪的囚犯；因為我們成了一臺戲，給世人和天使觀看。 |
|
10 我們為基督的緣故算是愚拙的，你們在基督裏倒是聰明的；我們軟弱，你們倒強壯；你們有榮耀，我們倒被藐視。 |
|
11 直到如今，我們還是又飢又渴，又赤身露體，又挨打，又沒有一定的住處， |
|
12 並且勞苦，親手作工。被人咒罵，我們就祝福；被人逼迫，我們就忍受； |
|
13 被人毀謗，我們就善勸。直到如今，人還把我們看作世界上的污穢，凡物中 |
|
14 |
|
15 你們學基督的，導師 |
|
16 所以，我求你們效法我。 |
|
17 因此我已打發提摩太到你們那裏去。他是我所親愛的兒子 |
|
18 有些人自高自大，以為我不到你們那裏去； |
|
19 然而，主若許我，我必快到你們那裏去，並且我所要知道的，不是那些自高自大之人的言語，乃是他們的權能。 |
|
20 因為神的國不在乎言語，乃在乎權能。 |
|
21 你們願意怎麼樣呢？是願意我帶著刑杖到你們那裏去呢？還是要我以愛與 |
1 CorinthiansChapter 4 |
|
1 THIS is the way you should consider us: as the servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. |
|
2 Henceforth it is required of stewards, that every one of them must be faithful. |
|
3 But as for me, it is of little importance that I am judged by you or by any one else: because I do not judge myself. |
|
4 For I know nothing of which I am guilty; yet I may not be right in this, for my judge is the LORD. |
|
5 Therefore do not judge before the time, until the LORD comes, and brings to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveals the thoughts of the hearts; then shall every man have praise from God. |
|
6 These things, my brethren, concerning myself and Apollos I have pictured for your sakes; that in our example you may learn not to think beyond that which is written, and let no one exalt himself over his fellow man, on account of any man. |
|
7 For who has inquired into you? And what do you have which was not given to you? and if you did receive it, then why do you boast, as if you had not received it? |
|
8 For a long time you have been full and enriched, and you have waxed strong without our counsel. And I would to God you were as kings, so that we also might share with you. |
|
9 For I think God has placed us, the apostles, last as if we were condemned to death: for we have become a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. |
|
10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are praised, but we are despised. |
|
11 Even to this very hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked and mistreated and have no permanent home; |
|
12 And labor, working with our own hands: being cursed we bless, being persecuted, we endure it; |
|
13 Being reviled, we intreat;: we are looked upon as the refuse of the world, and we are the revilement of every man to this day. |
|
14 I do not write these things to make you feel ashamed, but to advise you as beloved children. |
|
15 For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you will have not many fathers: for in Jesus Christ I have begotten you through the gospel. |
|
16 I beseech you therefore, to follow me. |
|
17 This is why I have sent Ti-mo'the-us to you, who is my beloved son and faithful in the LORD, who shall remind you of my manner of life in Christ, just as I teach in all the churches. |
|
18 There are some among you who are puffed up, thinking I am unwilling to come to you. |
|
19 But I will come to you very soon, if the LORD wills, and then I shall find out not the words of these men who exalt themselves, but their power. |
|
20 For the kingdom of God is not in the word, but in power. |
|
21 Now what do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and in the spirit of meekness? |
