Let a mansoaccountof us, asof the ministersof Christ, andstewardsof the mysteriesof God. Moreoverit is requiredinstewards, thata manbe foundfaithful. Butwith meit isavery small thingthatI should be judgedofyou, orofman's judgment: yea, I judgenotmine own self. ForI knownothingby myself; yetam I notherebyjustified: buthe that judgethmeisthe Lord. Thereforejudgenothingbeforethe time, untiltheLordcome, whobothwill bring to lightthehidden thingsof darkness, andwill make manifestthecounselsof thehearts: andthenshall every manhavepraiseofGod. Andthese things, brethren, I have in a figure transferredtomyselfand to Apollosfor your sakes; thatye might learninusnotto think of men abovethat whichis written, thatnooneof you be puffed upforoneagainstanother. Forwhomaketh thee to differ from another ? andwhathastthou thatthou didst notreceive? nowifthou didstreceive it, whydost thou glory, asifthou hadst notreceived it? Nowye arefull, nowye are rich, ye have reigned as kingswithoutus: andI would to Godye did reign, thatwealsomight reign withyou. ForI thinkthatGodhath set forthustheapostleslast, as it wereappointed to death: forwe are madea spectacleunto theworld, andto angels, andto men. We are foolsfor Christ's sake, butye are wiseinChrist; we are weak, butye are strong; ye are honorable, butwe are despised. Even untothis presenthourwe bothhunger, andthirst, andare naked, andare buffeted, andhave no certain dwelling place; Andlabor, workingwith our ownhands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we sufferit: Being defamed, we entreat: we are madeasthe filthof theworld, and are the offscouringof all thingsuntothis day. I writenotthese thingsto shameyou, butasmybelovedsonsI warn you. Forthoughye haveten thousandinstructorsinChrist, yet have ye notmanyfathers: forinChristJesusIhave begottenyouthroughthegospel. WhereforeI beseechyou, beye followersof me. For this causehave I sentunto youTimothy, whoismybelovedson, andfaithfulinthe Lord, whoshall bring you into remembranceof mywayswhichbe inChrist, asI teachevery whereineverychurch. Nowsomeare puffed up, as thoughIwould notcometoyou. ButI will cometoyoushortly, iftheLordwill, andwill know, notthespeechof them which are puffed up, butthepower. Forthekingdomof God is notinword, butinpower. Whatwillye? shall I comeuntoyouwitha rod, orinlove, and in the spiritof meekness?
