| [1]ουτως ημας λογιζεσθω ανθρωπος ως υπηρετας χριστου και οικονομους μυστηριων θεου |
[1]Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God, |
| [2]ωδε λοιπον ζητειται εν τοις οικονομοις ινα πιστος τις ευρεθη |
[2]and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful, |
| [3]εμοι δε εις ελαχιστον εστιν ινα υφ υμων ανακριθω η υπο ανθρωπινης ημερας αλλ ουδε εμαυτον ανακρινω |
[3]and to me it is for a very little thing that by you I may be judged, or by man's day, but not even myself do I judge, |
| [4]ουδεν γαρ εμαυτω συνοιδα αλλ ουκ εν τουτω δεδικαιωμαι ο δε ανακρινων με κυριος εστιν |
[4]for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in this have I been declared right -- and he who is discerning me is the Lord: |
| [5]ωστε μη προ καιρου τι κρινετε εως αν ελθη ο κυριος ος και φωτισει τα κρυπτα του σκοτους και φανερωσει τας βουλας των καρδιων και τοτε ο επαινος γενησεται εκαστω απο του θεου |
[5]so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God. |
| [6]ταυτα δε αδελφοι μετεσχηματισα εις εμαυτον και απολλων δι υμας ινα εν ημιν μαθητε το μη υπερ α γεγραπται ινα μη εις υπερ του ενος φυσιουσθε κατα του ετερου |
[6]And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed up one for one against the other, |
| [7]τις γαρ σε διακρινει τι δε εχεις ο ουκ ελαβες ει δε και ελαβες τι καυχασαι ως μη λαβων |
[7]for who doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why dost thou glory as not having received? |
| [8]ηδη κεκορεσμενοι εστε ηδη επλουτησατε χωρις ημων εβασιλευσατε και οφελον γε εβασιλευσατε ινα και ημεις υμιν συμβασιλευσωμεν |
[8]Already ye are having been filled, already ye were rich, apart from us ye did reign, and I would also ye did reign, that we also with you may reign together, |
| [9]δοκω γαρ ο θεος ημας τους αποστολους εσχατους απεδειξεν ως επιθανατιους οτι θεατρον εγενηθημεν τω κοσμω και αγγελοις και ανθρωποις |
[9]for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last -- as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men; |
| [10]ημεις μωροι δια χριστον υμεις δε φρονιμοι εν χριστω ημεις ασθενεις υμεις δε ισχυροι υμεις ενδοξοι ημεις δε ατιμοι |
[10]we [are] fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we [are] ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured; |
| [11]αχρι της αρτι ωρας και πεινωμεν και διψωμεν και γυμνιτευομεν και κολαφιζομεθα και αστατουμεν |
[11]unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about, |
| [12]και κοπιωμεν εργαζομενοι ταις ιδιαις χερσιν λοιδορουμενοι ευλογουμεν διωκομενοι ανεχομεθα |
[12]and labour, working with [our] own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer; |
| [13]δυσφημουμενοι παρακαλουμεν ως περικαθαρματα του κοσμου εγενηθημεν παντων περιψημα εως αρτι |
[13]being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now. |
| [14]ουκ εντρεπων υμας γραφω ταυτα αλλ ως τεκνα μου αγαπητα νουθετων <νουθετων> |
[14]Not [as] putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish, |
| [15]εαν γαρ μυριους παιδαγωγους εχητε εν χριστω αλλ ου πολλους πατερας εν γαρ χριστω ιησου δια του ευαγγελιου εγω υμας εγεννησα |
[15]for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I -- I did beget you; |
| [16]παρακαλω ουν υμας μιμηται μου γινεσθε |
[16]I call upon you, therefore, become ye followers of me; |
| [17]δια τουτο επεμψα υμιν τιμοθεον ος εστιν μου τεκνον αγαπητον και πιστον εν κυριω ος υμας αναμνησει τας οδους μου τας εν χριστω [ιησου] καθως πανταχου εν παση εκκλησια διδασκω |
[17]because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach. |
| [18]ως μη ερχομενου δε μου προς υμας εφυσιωθησαν τινες |
[18]And as if I were not coming unto you certain were puffed up; |
| [19]ελευσομαι δε ταχεως προς υμας εαν ο κυριος θεληση και γνωσομαι ου τον λογον των πεφυσιωμενων αλλα την δυναμιν |
[19]but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power; |
| [20]ου γαρ εν λογω η βασιλεια του θεου αλλ εν δυναμει |
[20]for not in word is the reign of God, but in power? |
| [21]τι θελετε εν ραβδω ελθω προς υμας η εν αγαπη πνευματι τε πραυτητος |
[21]what do ye wish? with a rod shall I come unto you, or in love, with a spirit also of meekness? |
