[1]In this way let us be esteemed to you as ministers of The Messiah and masters of houses of the mysteries of Alaha |
[1]Let us be so accounted of by you, as the servants of Messiah, and the stewards of the mysteries of God. |
[2]Here from now on it is required in masters of houses that a man that faithful should be found |
[2]Now it is required of stewards, that each be found faithful. |
[3]To me but this a slight matter is to me that of you I am judged or from every son of man but not even I myself judging am |
[3]But to me, it is a light matter to be judged of by you, or by any man whatever; nay, I am no judge of myself. |
[4]Not for anything in myself afflicted I am but not by this am I justified my Judge for the Lord is |
[4]-(For I am not conscious in myself of any thing [flagrant]; yet I am not by this justified; for the Lord is my judge.) |
[5]Because of this not from before the time you should be judging until will come the Lord He Who shall illuminate the secrets of darkness and reveal their imaginations of the hearts and then there shall be praise to each man from Alaha |
[5]Therefore pronounce not judgments before the time, [or] until the Lord come, who will pour light upon the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the thoughts of [men's] hearts: and then will each one have [due] praise from God. |
[6]These things but my brethren for your sakes it is I have established concerning person my and of Apollo that by us you may learn that not to suppose more than whatever is written and a man against his fellowman not should be lifted up because of any man |
[6]These things, my Brethren, I have stated concerning the person of myself and of Apollos, for your sakes; that, in us, ye might learn not to think [of men], above what is written; and that no one might exalt himself in comparison with his fellow, on account of any person. |
[7]Who is? for investigating you or what? is to you that not you have received and if you have received Why? boasting are you as if it is that not you have received |
[7]For who exploreth thee? Or what hast thou, which thou didst not receive? And if thou receivedst it, why gloriest thou, as if thou didst not receive it? |
[8]From now it is you have become full of yourselves and you are made rich and without us you have reigned Oh that! but you had reigned that also we might reign with you |
[8]Now ye are yourselves full, and enriched; and, without us, are on thrones! And I wish ye were enthroned; that we also might reign with you. |
[9]Think I for that we apostles at last it is appointed us Alaha as if to death that we would be a stage play for the universe and for angels and for the children of men |
[9]But I suppose, that God hath placed us legates the last, as for death; since we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men. |
[10]We are insane because of The Messiah you are but sensible in The Messiah we are weak and you are mighty you are praised and we are despised |
[10]We are fools, on account of Messiah; but ye are wise in Messiah ! We are feeble; but ye are strong! Ye are lauded, we are contemned. |
[11]Until this hour we are hungry and we are thirsty and we are naked and we are abused and a place dwelling there is not for us |
[11]Unto this hour, we hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no permanent home: |
[12]And we toil when we labor with our hands they dishonor us and we bless they persecute us and we endure |
[12]and we toil, working with our own hands: they defame us, and we bless: they persecute us, and we endure it: |
[13]They accuse us and we beg of them as the scum of the world we have been and the offscouring of every person until now |
[13]they revile us, and we entreat them: we are as the filth of the world, and the expiation for all men, up to this time. |
[14]Not it was as to shame you write I these things but as to children dear give admonition I |
[14]I write these things, not to shame you; but I instruct you, as dear children. |
[15]If for ten thousand instructors shall be to you in The Messiah however not many fathers in Ieshu for The Messiah I it is have begotten you by the Gospel |
[15]For though ye have a myriad of teachers in Messiah, yet not many fathers; for in Jesus Messiah, I have begotten you by preaching. |
[16]Beseech I therefore of you that me you would imitate |
[16]I beseech you, therefore, that ye be like me. |
[17]Because of this I have sent to you Timotheos who is my son beloved and faithful in the Lord that he may relate to you my ways that are in The Messiah such as the things that teach I in all assemblies |
[17]For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, that he might bring to your recollection my ways in Messiah, agreeably to what I teach in all the churches. |
[18]As if it is but that not coming I am to you have been boisterous some of you |
[18]Now some of you are inflated, as though I would not [dare] come to you. |
[19]But if the Lord is willing soon shall come I to you and I shall know not their words of those whose are lifted up souls but their power |
[19]But I will come to you speedily, if God be willing: and I will know, not the speech of them who exalt themselves, but their power: |
[20]The kingdom for of Alaha not has been in word but in power |
[20]for the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. |
[21]How? do want it you with a rod shall I come? to you or in affection and in a spirit of meekness |
[21]What will ye? Shall I come to you with the rod, or with love and a gentle spirit? |
