\subsection{I Corinthians 4}
\VS{1} Let\fnImperative{} [a] man thus reckon us, as officers of Christ and 
stewards of the mysteries of God. 
\VS{2} Moreover it is sought in stewards 
that one be found trustworthy. 
\VS{3} But with me it is [the] least [thing] that I be 
appraised by you or by man's count, but neither do I appraise myself. 
\VS{4} For I am conscious of nothing in myself, but not in this am I justified, but 
the [one] appraising me is [the] Lord. 
\VS{5} So be judging nothing before [the] 
opportune-time\fnKairos{}, until the Lord come, who will also illuminate the secret 
[things] of darkness and manifest the intentions of the hearts. And then the praise 
will come to pass to each [one] from God. 
\VS{6} And these [things], brothers, I have 
applied to myself and Apollo on your account, in order that you learn among 
you the [thing] not above what is written, in order that you not be being puffed up 
above the other against the other. 
\VS{7} For who differentiates you? And 
what do you have which you did not receive? And if you indeed received, why 
boast as though not having received? 
\VS{8} You are already full, you are 
already rich, without us you had reigned [as kings], and O that you did reign, in 
order that we also reign with you.

\VS{9} For I suppose [that] God has displayed us apostles last, as condemned to 
death, that we become [a] spectacle to the world and to [the] angels and to men. 
\VS{10} We [are] fools on account of Christ, but you [are] prudent in Christ. We [are] 
weak, but you [are] strong. You are distinguished, but we are dishonored. 
\VS{11} Even until this present hour we hunger and thirst, and are naked and are 
beaten and homeless, 
\VS{12} and labor working with our own hands. Being 
reviled we bless, being persecuted we bear [it], 
\VS{13} being defamed we exhort, we have become as [the] garbage of the world, and [we are] the scum of everything until now. 
\VS{14} Not shaming you do I write these [things], but as admonishing my 
agape-beloved children. 
\VS{15} For you have innumerable instructors in 
Christ, but not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus through the good-news have 
I begotten you. 
\VS{16} I therefore call upon you, be becoming imitators of me. 
\VS{17} Because of this same [thing] have I sent Timothy to you, who is my 
agape-beloved child and trustworthy in [the] Lord, who will remind you of my ways 
[which are] in Christ Jesus, just as I teach everywhere in every assembly\fnEkklhsia{}. 
\VS{18} Now as though I [am] not coming are some [of you] puffed up, 
\VS{19} But I will come swiftly to 
you, if the Lord wills, and I will know not the word of [those] puffed up, but 
their power. 
\VS{20} For not in word [is] the kingdom of God, but in power. 
\VS{21} What do you want? Should I come to you with [a] rod, or in agape-love 
and in [the] spirit of gentleness?
