Η ΠΡΟΣ ΤΟΥΣ ΚΟΡΙΝΘΙΟΥΣ ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΗ ΠΡΩΤΗ

First Epistle to the Corinthians

CHAPTER 4

| 1 | ουτως |  | ημας |  | λογιζεσθω |  | ανθρωπος |  | ως |  | υπηρετας |  | χριστου |  | και |
|  | So |  | of 5 us 6 |  | let 1 reckon 4 |  | a 2 man 3 |  | as |  | attendants |  | of Christ |  | and |

οικονομους |  | μυστηριων |  | θεου |  |
stewards |  | mysteries 3 |  | of 1 God’s. 2 |  |

| 2 | ο |  | δε |  | λοιπον |  | ζητειται |  | εν |  | τοις |  | οικονομοις |  | ινα |  | πιστος |  | τις |  | ευρεθη |  |
|  | ♦ |  | But |  | as to the rest, |  | it is required |  | in |  | ♦ |  | stewards |  | that |  | faithful |  | one |  | be found. |  |

| 3 | εμοι |  | δε |  | εις |  | ελαχιστον |  | εστιν |  | ινα |  | υφ |  | υμων |  | ανακριθω |  | η |  | υπο |
|  | But to me |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | the smallest matter |  | it is |  | that |  | by |  | you |  | I be examined, |  | or |  | by |

ανθρωπινης |  | ημερας |  | αλλ |  | ουδε |  | εμαυτον |  | ανακρινω |  |
man’s |  | day. |  | But |  | neither |  | myself |  | do I examine. |  |

| 4 | ουδεν |  | γαρ |  | εμαυτω |  | συνοιδα |  | αλλ |  | ουκ |  | εν |  | τουτω |  | δεδικαιωμαι |
|  | For of nothing |  | ♦ |  | in myself |  | I am conscious; |  | but |  | not |  | by |  | this |  | have I been justified: |

ο |  | δε |  | ανακρινων |  | με |  | κυριος |  | εστιν |  |
but he who |  | ♦ |  | examines |  | me [the] |  | Lord |  | is. |  |

| 5 | ωστε |  | μη |  | προ |  | καιρου |  | τι |  | κρινετε |  | εως |  | αν |  | ελθη |  | ο |  | κυριος |
|  | So that |  | not |  | before [the] |  | time |  | anything |  | judge, |  | until |  | ♦ |  | may have come |  | the |  | Lord, |

ος |  | και |  | φωτισει |  | τα |  | κρυπτα |  | του |  | σκοτους |  | και |  | φανερωσει |  | τας |
who |  | both |  | will bring to light |  | the |  | hidden things |  | ♦ |  | of darkness, |  | and |  | will make manifest |  | the |

βουλας |  | των |  | καρδιων |  | και |  | τοτε |  | ο |  | επαινος |  | γενησεται |  | εκαστω |  | απο |  | του |
counsels |  | ♦ |  | of hearts; |  | and |  | then |  | ♦ |  | praise |  | shall be |  | to each |  | from |  | ♦ |

θεου |  |
God. |  |

| 6 | ταυτα |  | δε |  | αδελφοι |  | μετεσχηματισα |  | εις |  | εμαυτον |  | και |  | απολλω |
|  | Now these things, |  | ♦ |  | brethren, |  | I transferred |  | to |  | myself |  | and |  | Apollos |

δι |  | υμας |  | ινα |  | εν |  | ημιν |  | μαθητε |  | το |  | μη |  | υπερ |  | ο |  | γεγραπται |
on account of |  | you, |  | that |  | in |  | us |  | ye may learn |  | ♦ |  | not |  | above 3 |  | what 4 |  | has 5 been 6 written 7 |

φρονειν |  | ινα |  | μη |  | εις |  | υπερ |  | του |  | ενος |  | φυσιουσθε |  | κατα |  | του |  | ετερου |  |
to 1 think, 2 |  | that |  | not |  | one |  | for |  | ♦ |  | one |  | ye be puffed up |  | against |  | the |  | other. |  |

| 7 | τις |  | γαρ |  | σε |  | διακρινει |  | τι |  | δε |  | εχεις |  | ο |  | ουκ |
|  | For who |  | ♦ |  | thee |  | makes to differ? |  | and what |  | ♦ |  | hast thou |  | which |  | thou didst not receive? |

ελαβες |  | ει |  | δε |  | και |  | ελαβες |  | τι |  | καυχασαι |  | ως |  | μη |  | λαβων |  |
♦ |  | but if |  | ♦ |  | also |  | thou didst receive, |  | why |  | boastest thou |  | as |  | not |  | having received? |  |

| 8 | ηδη |  | κεκορεσμενοι |  | εστε |  | ηδη |  | επλουτησατε |  | χωρις |  | ημων |
|  | Already |  | satiated |  | ye are; |  | already |  | ye were enriched; |  | apart from |  | us |

εβασιλευσατε |  | και |  | οφελον |  | γε |  | εβασιλευσατε |  | ινα |  | και |  | ημεις |  | υμιν |
ye reigned; |  | and |  | I would |  | surely |  | ye did reign, |  | that |  | also |  | we |  | you 4 |

συμβασιλευσωμεν |  |
might 1 reign 2 with. 3 |  |

| 9 | δοκω |  | γαρ |  | οτι |  | ο |  | θεος |  | ημας |  | τους |  | αποστολους |  | εσχατους |  | απεδειξεν |  | ως |
|  | For I think |  | ♦ |  | that |  | ♦ |  | God |  | us |  | the |  | apostles |  | last |  | set forth |  | as |

επιθανατιους |  | οτι |  | θεατρον |  | εγενηθημεν |  | τω |  | κοσμω |  | και |  | αγγελοις |  | και |
appointed to death. |  | For |  | a spectacle |  | we became |  | to the |  | world, |  | both |  | to angels |  | and |

ανθρωποις |  |
to men. |  |

| 10 | ημεις |  | μωροι |  | δια |  | χριστον |  | υμεις |  | δε |  | φρονιμοι |  | εν |  | χριστω |  | ημεις |
|  | We |  | [are] fools |  | on account of |  | Christ, |  | but ye |  | ♦ |  | prudent |  | in |  | Christ; |  | we |

ασθενεις |  | υμεις |  | δε |  | ισχυροι |  | υμεις |  | ενδοξοι |  | ημεις |  | δε |  | ατιμοι |  |
weak, |  | but ye |  | ♦ |  | strong; |  | ye |  | glorious, |  | but we |  | ♦ |  | without honour. |  |

| 11 | αχρι |  | της |  | αρτι |  | ωρας |  | και |  | πεινωμεν |  | και |  | διψωμεν |  | και |  | γυμνητευομεν |
|  | To |  | the |  | present |  | hour |  | both |  | we hunger |  | and |  | thirst |  | and |  | are naked, |

και |  | κολαφιζομεθα |  | και |  | αστατουμεν |  |
and |  | are buffeted, |  | and |  | wander without a home, |  |

| 12 | και |  | κοπιωμεν |  | εργαζομενοι |  | ταις |  | ιδιαις |  | χερσιν |  | λοιδορουμενοι |
|  | and |  | labour, |  | working |  | with our own |  | ♦ |  | hands. |  | Railed at, |

ευλογουμεν |  | διωκομενοι |  | ανεχομεθα |  |
we bless; |  | persecuted |  | we bear; |  |

| 13 | βλασφημουμενοι |  | παρακαλουμεν |  | ως |  | περικαθαρματα |  | του |  | κοσμου |
|  | evilly spoken to, |  | we beseech: |  | as [the] |  | refuse |  | of the |  | world |

εγενηθημεν |  | παντων |  | περιψημα |  | εως |  | αρτι |  |
we are become, |  | of all [the] |  | off-scouring |  | until |  | now. |  |

| 14 | ουκ |  | εντρεπων |  | υμας |  | γραφω |  | ταυτα |  | αλλ |  | ως |  | τεκνα |  | μου |  | αγαπητα |
|  | Not |  | shaming |  | you |  | do I write |  | these things, |  | but |  | as |  | children 3 |  | my 1 |  | beloved 2 |

νουθετω |  |
I admonish [you]. |  |

| 15 | εαν |  | γαρ |  | μυριους |  | παιδαγωγους |  | εχητε |  | εν |  | χριστω |  | αλλ |  | ου |
|  | For if |  | ♦ |  | ten thousand |  | tutors |  | ye should have |  | in |  | Christ, |  | yet |  | not |

πολλους |  | πατερας |  | εν |  | γαρ |  | χριστω |  | ιησου |  | δια |  | του |  | ευαγγελιου |  | εγω |
many |  | fathers; |  | for in |  | ♦ |  | Christ |  | Jesus |  | through |  | the |  | glad tidings |  | I |

υμας |  | εγεννησα |  |
you |  | did beget. |  |

| 16 | παρακαλω |  | ουν |  | υμας |  | μιμηται |  | μου |  | γινεσθε |  |
|  | I exhort |  | therefore |  | you, |  | imitators 2 |  | of 3 me 4 |  | become. 1 |  |

| 17 | δια |  | τουτο |  | επεμψα |  | υμιν |  | τιμοθεον |  | ος |  | εστιν |  | τεκνον |  | μου |
|  | On account of |  | this |  | I sent |  | to you |  | Timotheus, |  | who |  | is |  | child 3 |  | my 1 |

αγαπητον |  | και |  | πιστον |  | εν |  | κυριω |  | ος |  | υμας |  | αναμνησει |  | τας |  | οδους |  | μου
beloved 2 |  | and |  | faithful |  | in [the] |  | Lord, |  | who |  | you 3 |  | will 1 remind 2 of |  | my ways |  | ♦ |  | ♦

| τας |  | εν |  | χριστω |  | καθως |  | πανταχου |  | εν |  | παση |  | εκκλησια |  | διδασκω |  |
| that [are] |  | in |  | Christ, |  | according as |  | everywhere |  | in |  | every |  | assembly |  | I teach. |  |

| 18 | ως |  | μη |  | ερχομενου |  | δε |  | μου |  | προς |  | υμας |  | εφυσιωθησαν |  | τινες |  |
|  | As 2 to 3 |  | not 5 coming 6 |  | ♦ |  | now 1 |  | my 4 |  | to |  | you |  | were 2 puffed 3 up 4 |  | some; 1 |  |

| 19 | ελευσομαι |  | δε |  | ταχεως |  | προς |  | υμας |  | εαν |  | ο |  | κυριος |  | θεληση |  | και |  | γνωσομαι |
|  | but I shall come |  | ♦ |  | shortly |  | to |  | you, |  | if |  | the |  | Lord |  | will, |  | and |  | I will know, |

ου |  | τον |  | λογον |  | των |  | πεφυσιωμενων |  | αλλα |  | την |  | δυναμιν |  |
not |  | the |  | word |  | of those who |  | are puffed up, |  | but |  | the |  | power. |  |

| 20 | ου |  | γαρ |  | εν |  | λογω |  | η |  | βασιλεια |  | του |  | θεου |  | αλλ |  | εν |  | δυναμει |  |
|  | For not |  | ♦ |  | in |  | word |  | the |  | kingdom |  | ♦ |  | of God [is], |  | but |  | in |  | power. |  |

| 21 | τι |  | θελετε |  | εν |  | ραβδω |  | ελθω |  | προς |  | υμας |  | η |  | εν |  | αγαπη |  | πνευματι |  | τε |
|  | What |  | will ye? |  | with |  | a rod |  | I should come |  | to |  | you, |  | or |  | in |  | love |  | and a spirit |  | ♦ |

πραοτητος |  |
of meekness? |  |
