| [1]Let a man so think of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God. |
[1]Thus let us be accounted of you as ministers of the Meshiha, and stewards of the mysteries of Aloha. |
| [2]And as for the rest, it is required of the disposers, that every man be found faithful. |
[2]So now is it required of a steward that he be one found faithful. |
| [3]As touching me, I pass very little, to be judged of you, or of man's judgment: no, I judge not mine own self. |
[3]But to me it is a little thing to be Judged by you, or by any man; neither do I judge myself, |
| [4]For I know nothing by myself, yet am I not thereby justified: but he that judgeth me, is the Lord. |
[4]For of nothing in myself am I conscious; but not by this am I justified, but my judge is the Lord. |
| [5]Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will lighten things that are hid in darkness, and make the counsels of the hearts manifest: and then shall every man have praise of God. |
[5]Therefore, do not judge before the time, until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the thoughts of hearts. Then will there be praise to each man from Aloha. |
| [6]Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied unto mine own self and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye might learn by us, that no man presume above that which is written, that one swell not against another for any man's cause. |
[6]BUT these things, my brethren, for your sakes I have applied to the person of myself and of Apolo, that through us you may learn not to think of us beyond what is written; and that one above his neighbour may not be exalted on account of any thing. |
| [7]For who separateth thee? and what hast thou, that thou hast not received? if thou hast received it, why rejoicest thou, as though thou hast not received it? |
[7]For who distinguisheth thee? Or, what hast thou which thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou boast as if thou hadst not received? |
| [8]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. |
[8]Now you are satiated, and are rich, and without us have reigned. But I would that you did reign, that we might also reign with you! |
| [9]For I think that God hath set forth us the last Apostles, as men appointed to death: for we are made a gazing stock unto the world, and to the Angels, and to men. |
[9]But I consider that us, the apostles, Aloha hath set last, as unto death, to be a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men, |
| [10]We are fools for Christ's sake, and ye are wise in Christ: we are weak, and ye strong: ye are honorable, and we are despised. |
[10]We are fools for the sake of the Meshiha, but we are wise in the Meshiha; we are the weak, but you are the mighty; you are glorified, and we abased. |
| [11]Unto this hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place, |
[11]Until this hour we hunger and thirst, we are naked and beaten and have no fixed dwelling; |
| [12]And labor, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and yet we bless: we are persecuted, and suffer it. |
[12]And we labour, working with our hands. They revile us, and we bless; they persecute us, and we endure; |
| [13]We are evil spoken of, and we pray: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, unto this time. |
[13]They maltreat us, and we pray for them; as the refuse of the world are we made and the execrationⓘ of all men until now. |
| [14]I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I admonish you. |
[14]Not as to shame you write I these things, but as my beloved children I admonish [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. |
[15]For if you have ten thousand teachers in the Meshiha, yet not many fathers; for in Jeshu Meshiha I have begotten you through the gospel. |
| [16]Wherefore, I pray you, be ye followers of me. |
[16]I entreat then of you that you be like me. |
| [17]For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, which is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my ways in Christ as I teach every where in every Church. |
[17]WHEREFORE I have sent to you Timotheos, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, that he may remind you of my ways in the Meshiha, according to that which I teach in all the churches. |
| [18]Some are puffed up as though I would not come to you. |
[18]But as if I were not coming to you, some of you are inflated. |
| [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. |
[19]But if the Lord will, quickly come I unto you; and I will know not the words of them who exalt themselves, but their power. |
| [20]For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. |
[20]For the kingdom of Aloha 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? |
[21]How are you willing? with a rod shall I come to you, or with love and with the spirit of kindliness? |
