Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, and the dispensers of the mysteries of God.
1ουτωσ ημασ λογιζεσθω ανθρωποσ ωσ υπηρετασ χριστου και οικονομουσ μυστηριων θεου
2Here now it is required among the dispensers, that a man be found faithful.
2ο δε λοιπον ζητειται εν τοισ οικονομοισ ινα πιστοσ τισ ευρεθη
3But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you, or by man’s day; but neither do I judge my own self.
3εμοι δε εισ ελαχιστον εστιν ινα υφ υμων ανακριθω η υπο ανθρωπινησ ημερασ αλλ ουδε εμαυτον ανακρινω
4For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me, is the Lord.
4ουδεν γαρ εμαυτω συνοιδα αλλ ουκ εν τουτω δεδικαιωμαι ο δε ανακρινων με κυριοσ εστιν
5Therefore judge not 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 from God.
5ωστε 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
6But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes; that in us you may learn, that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written.
6ταυτα δε αδελφοι μετεσχηματισα εισ εμαυτον και απολλω δι υμασ ινα εν ημιν μαθητε το μη υπερ ο γεγραπται φρονειν ινα μη εισ υπερ του ενοσ φυσιουσθε κατα του ετερου
7For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
7τισ γαρ σε διακρινει τι δε εχεισ ο ουκ ελαβεσ ει δε και ελαβεσ τι καυχασαι ωσ μη λαβων
8You are now full; you are now become rich; you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
8ηδη κεκορεσμενοι εστε ηδη επλουτησατε χωρισ ημων εβασιλευσατε και οφελον γε εβασιλευσατε ινα και ημεισ υμιν συμβασιλευσωμεν
9For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death: we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.
9δοκω γαρ οτι ο θεοσ ημασ τουσ αποστολουσ εσχατουσ απεδειξεν ωσ επιθανατιουσ οτι θεατρον εγενηθημεν τω κοσμω και αγγελοισ και ανθρωποισ
10We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honourable, but we without honour.
10ημεισ μωροι δια χριστον υμεισ δε φρονιμοι εν χριστω ημεισ ασθενεισ υμεισ δε ισχυροι υμεισ ενδοξοι ημεισ δε ατιμοι
11Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no fixed abode;
11αχρι τησ αρτι ωρασ και πεινωμεν και διψωμεν και γυμνητευομεν και κολαφιζομεθα και αστατουμεν
12And we labour, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and we bless; we are persecuted, and we suffer it.
12και κοπιωμεν εργαζομενοι ταισ ιδιαισ χερσιν λοιδορουμενοι ευλογουμεν διωκομενοι ανεχομεθα
13We are blasphemed, and we entreat; we are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all even until now.
13βλασφημουμενοι παρακαλουμεν ωσ περικαθαρματα του κοσμου εγενηθημεν παντων περιψημα εωσ αρτι
14I write not these things to confound you; but I admonish you as my dearest children.
14ουκ εντρεπων υμασ γραφω ταυτα αλλ ωσ τεκνα μου αγαπητα νουθετω
15For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you.
15εαν γαρ μυριουσ παιδαγωγουσ εχητε εν χριστω αλλ ου πολλουσ πατερασ εν γαρ χριστω ιησου δια του ευαγγελιου εγω υμασ εγεννησα
16Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
16παρακαλω ουν υμασ μιμηται μου γινεσθε
17For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my dearest son and faithful in the Lord; who will put you in mind of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus; as I teach every where in every church.
17δια τουτο επεμψα υμιν τιμοθεον οσ εστιν τεκνον μου αγαπητον και πιστον εν κυριω οσ υμασ αναμνησει τασ οδουσ μου τασ εν χριστω καθωσ πανταχου εν παση εκκλησια διδασκω
18As if I would not come to you, so some are puffed up.
18ωσ μη ερχομενου δε μου προσ υμασ εφυσιωθησαν τινεσ
19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will: and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power.
19ελευσομαι δε ταχεωσ προσ υμασ εαν ο κυριοσ θεληση και γνωσομαι ου τον λογον των πεφυσιωμενων αλλα την δυναμιν
20For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.
20ου γαρ εν λογω η βασιλεια του θεου αλλ εν δυναμει
21What will you? shall I come to you with a rod; or in charity, and in the spirit of meekness?
21τι θελετε εν ραβδω ελθω προσ υμασ η εν αγαπη πνευματι τε πραοτητοσ
