1 Corinthians Chapter 4

 

1 People should realize that we are in this manner: like servants of Christ and managers of the mysteries of God.
2 Going forward, it is required in managers that a person is found faithful. *
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yes, I judge not my own self.
4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but He Who judges 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 the counsels of the innermost minds visible: and then shall every man have praise of God.
6 And these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that you 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 makes you to differ from another? And what have you that you did not receive? Now if you did receive it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it?
8 Now you are full, now you are rich, you have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 For I think that God has set forth us, the apostles, last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. *
10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honorable, but we are despised.
11 Even to this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;
12 And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the off scouring of all things to this day. *
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have you not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Therefore I beg you, be followers of me.
17 For this cause have I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall " title="363 αναμιμηκω anamimnesko meaning 1) to call to remembrance, to remind, to admonish 2) to remember, to remember and weigh well and consider " target="_blank">remind of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere 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 utterance of those who are puffed up, but the power.
20 For the kingdom of God is not in utterance, but in power.
21 What will you? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

1 Corinthians 4:1-2 There is NO chief apostle. It is an act of immaturity to elevate or compare apostles. Apostles are servants

1 Corinthians 4:6-9 Paul calls Apollus (and himself) an apostle:

1 Corinthians 4:10-13 Apostles: A Life Of Sacrifice

1 Corinthians 4:15-17 Paul is an example of the apostles' fatherly relationship to the church

1 Corinthians 4:18-21 The apostles have authority to deal with troublesome members in local churches: Some were puffed up.
