1 Corintios 4

So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

TÉNGANNOS los hombres por ministros de Cristo, y dispensadores de los misterios de Dios.

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.

Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

Mas ahora se requiere en los dispensadores, que cada uno sea hallado fiel.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

Yo en muy poco tengo el ser juzgado de vosotros, ó de juicio humano; y ni aun yo me juzgo.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.

My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.

Porque aunque de nada tengo mala conciencia, no por eso soy justificado; mas el que me juzga, el Señor es.

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

Así que, no juzguéis nada antes de tiempo, hasta que venga el Señor, el cual también aclarará lo oculto de las tinieblas, y manifestará los intentos de los corazones: y entonces cada uno tendrá de Dios la alabanza.

Therefore judge nothing 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 of God.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.

Esto empero, hermanos, he pasado por ejemplo en mí y en Apolos por amor de vosotros; para que en nosotros aprendáis á no saber más de lo que está escrito, hinchándoos por causa de otro el uno contra el otro.

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye 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.

Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.

For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

Porque ¿quién te distingue? ¿ó qué tienes que no hayas recibido? Y si lo recibiste, ¿de qué te glorías como si no hubieras recibido?

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

Already you have all you want. Already you have become rich. Without us, you have become kings. How I wish you really were kings, so that we might be kings with you!

Ya estáis hartos, ya estáis ricos, sin nosotros reináis; y ojalá reinéis, para que nosotros reinemos también juntamente con vosotros.

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at the end of the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.

Porque á lo que pienso, Dios nos ha mostrado á nosotros los apóstoles por los postreros, como á sentenciados á muerte: porque somos hechos espectáculo al mundo, y á los ángeles, y á los hombres.

For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.

Nosotros necios por amor de Cristo, y vosotros prudentes en Cristo; nosotros flacos, y vosotros fuertes; vosotros nobles, y nosotros viles.

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.

Hasta esta hora hambreamos, y tenemos sed, y estamos desnudos, y somos heridos de golpes, y andamos vagabundos;

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

Y trabajamos, obrando con nuestras manos: nos maldicen, y bendecimos: padecemos persecución, y sufrimos:

And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.

Somos blasfemados, y rogamos: hemos venido á ser como la hez del mundo, el desecho de todos hasta ahora.

Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

No escribo esto para avergonzaros: mas amonéstoos como á mis hijos amados.

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

Even if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

Porque aunque tengáis diez mil ayos en Cristo, no tendréis muchos padres; que en Cristo Jesús yo os engendré por el evangelio.

For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.

Therefore I urge you to imitate me.

Por tanto, os ruego que me imitéis.

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.

That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.

Por lo cual os he enviado á Timoteo, que es mi hijo amado y fiel en el Señor, el cual os amonestará de mis caminos cuáles sean en Cristo, de la manera que enseño en todas partes en todas las iglesias.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.

Mas algunos están envanecidos, como si nunca hubiese yo de ir á vosotros.

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.

Empero iré presto á vosotros, si el Señor quisiere; y entenderé, no las palabras de los que andan hinchados, sino la virtud.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

Porque el reino de Dios no consiste en palabras, sino en virtud.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.

Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?

¿Qué queréis? ¿iré á vosotros con vara, ó con caridad y espíritu de mansedumbre?

What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
