{1st Corinthians 4:1} Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:2} Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:3} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:4} For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:5} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:6} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:7} 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? ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:8} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:9} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:10} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:11} Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:12} And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:13} Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, [and are] the offscouring of all things unto this day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:14} I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you. ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:15} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:16} Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:17} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:18} Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:19} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:20} For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Corinthians 4:21} What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and [in] the spirit of meekness?
