22
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things
to come; all are yours;
23
And ye are Christ’s; and Christ
is
God’s.
CHAPTER CORINTHIANS 4
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
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.
4
For
I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
11
Even unto this
present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain
dwellingplace;
12
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted,
we suffer it:
13
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world,
and are
the
offscouring of all things unto this day.
14
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved
sons I warn
you.
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.
16
Wherefore I beseech you, be
ye followers of me.
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.
18
Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
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.
20
For the kingdom of God
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?
CHAPTER CORINTHIANS 5
It is reported commonly
that there is
fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much
as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.
2
And ye are puffed up, and
