1st Corinthians Chapter 4 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Let <G3049> <G0000> a man <G0444> so <G3779> account <G3049> <G5737> of us <G2248>, as <G5613> of the ministers <G5257> of Christ <G5547>, and <G2532> stewards <G3623> of the mysteries <G3466> of God <G2316>.
2: Moreover <G3063> it is required <G2212> <G5743> in <G1722> stewards <G3623>, that <G2443> a man <G5100> be found <G2147> <G5686> faithful <G4103>.
3: But <G1161> with me <G1698> it is <G2076> <G5748> a very small thing <G1519> <G1646> that <G2443> I should be judged <G0350> <G5686> of <G5259> you <G5216>, or <G2228> of <G5259> man's <G0442> judgment <G2250>: yea <G0235>, I judge <G0350> <G5719> not <G3761> mine own self <G1683>.
4: For <G1063> I know <G4894> <G5758> nothing <G3762> by myself <G1683>; yet <G0235> am I <G1344> <G0000> not <G3756> hereby <G1722> <G5129> justified <G1344> <G5769>: but <G1161> he that judgeth <G0350> <G5723> me <G3165> is <G2076> <G5748> the Lord <G2962>.
5: Therefore <G5620> judge <G2919> <G5720> nothing <G3361> <G5100> before <G4253> the time <G2540>, until <G2193> <G0302> the Lord <G2962> come <G2064> <G5632>, who <G3739> both <G2532> will bring to light <G5461> <G5692> the hidden things <G2927> of darkness <G4655>, and <G2532> will make manifest <G5319> <G5692> the counsels <G1012> of the hearts <G2588>: and <G2532> then <G5119> shall every man <G1538> have <G1096> <G5695> praise <G1868> of <G0575> God <G2316>.
6: And <G1161> these things <G5023>, brethren <G0080>, I have in a figure transferred <G3345> <G5656> to <G1519> myself <G1683> and <G2532> [to] Apollos <G0625> for <G1223> your sakes <G5209>; that <G2443> ye might learn <G3129> <G5632> in <G1722> us <G2254> not <G3361> to think <G5426> <G5721> [of men] above <G5228> that <G2443> which <G3739> is written <G1125> <G5769>, that no <G3363> one <G1520> of you be puffed up <G5448> <G5747> for <G5228> one <G1520> against <G2596> another <G2087>.
7: For <G1063> who <G5101> maketh <G1252> <G0000> thee <G4571> to differ <G1252> <G5719> [from another]? and <G1161> what <G5101> hast thou <G2192> <G5719> that <G3739> thou didst <G2983> <G0000> not <G3756> receive <G2983> <G5627>? <G1161> now <G2532> if <G1499> thou didst receive <G2983> <G5627> [it], why <G5101> dost thou glory <G2744> <G5736>, as <G5613> if thou hadst <G2983> <G0000> not <G3361> received <G2983> <G5631> [it]?
8: Now <G2235> ye are <G2075> <G5748> full <G2880> <G5772>, now <G2235> ye are rich <G4147> <G5656>, ye have reigned as kings <G0936> <G5656> without <G5565> us <G2257>: and <G2532> I would to God <G3785> <G1065> ye did reign <G0936> <G5656>, that <G2443> we <G2249> also <G2532> might reign with <G4821> <G5661> you <G5213>.
9: For <G1063> I think <G1380> <G5719> that <G3754> God <G2316> hath set forth <G0584> <G5656> us <G2248> the apostles <G0652> last <G2078>, as <G5613> it were appointed to death <G1935>: for <G3754> we are made <G1096> <G5675> a spectacle <G2302> unto the world <G2889>, and <G2532> to angels <G0032>, and <G2532> to men <G0444>.
10: We <G2249> [are] fools <G3474> for <G1223> <G0000> Christ's <G5547> sake <G1223>, but <G1161> ye <G5210> [are] wise <G5429> in <G1722> Christ <G5547>; we <G2249> [are] weak <G0772>, but <G1161> ye <G5210> [are] strong <G2478>; ye <G5210> [are] honourable <G1741>, but <G1161> we <G2249> [are] despised <G0820>.
11: Even <G0891> unto this present <G0737> hour <G5610> we <G3983> <G0000> both <G2532> hunger <G3983> <G5719>, and <G2532> thirst <G1372> <G5725>, and <G2532> are naked <G1130> <G5719>, and <G2532> are buffeted <G2852> <G5743>, and <G2532> have no certain dwellingplace <G0790> <G5719>;
12: And <G2532> labour <G2872> <G5719>, working <G2038> <G5740> with our own <G2398> hands <G5495>: being reviled <G3058> <G5746>, we bless <G2127> <G5719>; being persecuted <G1377> <G5746>, we suffer it <G0430> <G5736>:
13: Being defamed <G0987> <G5746>, we intreat <G3870> <G5719>: we are made <G1096> <G5675> as <G5613> the filth <G4027> of the world <G2889>, [and are] the offscouring <G4067> of all things <G3956> unto <G2193> this day <G0737>.
14: I write <G1125> <G5719> not <G3756> these things <G5023> to shame <G1788> <G5723> you <G5209>, but <G0235> as <G5613> my <G3450> beloved <G0027> sons <G5043> I warn <G3560> <G5719> [you].
15: For <G1063> though <G1437> ye have <G2192> <G5725> ten thousand <G3463> instructors <G3807> in <G1722> Christ <G5547>, yet <G0235> [have ye] not <G3756> many <G4183> fathers <G3962>: for <G1063> in <G1722> Christ <G5547> Jesus <G2424> I <G1473> have begotten <G1080> <G5656> you <G5209> through <G1223> the gospel <G2098>.
16: Wherefore <G3767> I beseech <G3870> <G5719> you <G5209>, be ye <G1096> <G5737> followers <G3402> of me <G3450>.
17: For <G1223> <G0000> this <G5124> cause <G1223> have I sent <G3992> <G5656> unto you <G5213> Timotheus <G5095>, who <G3739> is <G2076> <G5748> my <G3450> beloved <G0027> son <G5043>, and <G2532> faithful <G4103> in <G1722> the Lord <G2962>, who <G3739> shall bring <G0363> <G0000> you <G5209> into remembrance <G0363> <G5692> of my <G3450> ways <G3598> which <G3588> be in <G1722> Christ <G5547>, as <G2531> I teach <G1321> <G5719> every where <G3837> in <G1722> every <G3956> church <G1577>.
18: Now <G1161> some <G5100> are puffed up <G5448> <G5681>, as though <G5613> I <G3450> would <G2064> <G0000> not <G3361> come <G2064> <G5740> to <G4314> you <G5209>.
19: But <G1161> I will come <G2064> <G5695> to <G4314> you <G5209> shortly <G5030>, if <G1437> the Lord <G2962> will <G2309> <G5661>, and <G2532> will know <G1097> <G5695>, not <G3756> the speech <G3056> of them which are puffed up <G5448> <G5772>, but <G0235> the power <G1411>.
20: For <G1063> the kingdom <G0932> of God <G2316> [is] not <G3756> in <G1722> word <G3056>, but <G0235> in <G1722> power <G1411>.
21: What <G5101> will ye <G2309> <G5719>? shall I come <G2064> <G5632> unto <G4314> you <G5209> with <G1722> a rod <G4464>, or <G2228> in <G1722> love <G0026>, and <G5037> [in] the spirit <G4151> of meekness <G4236>?
