1 Corintios 4

Accordingly, let man consider us to be ministers of Christ and attendants 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.

Here and now, it is required of attendants that each one be found to be 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.

But as for me, it is such a small thing to be judged by you, or by the age of mankind. And neither do I 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.

For I have nothing on my conscience. But I am not justified by this. For the Lord is the One 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.

And so, do not choose to judge before the time, until the Lord returns. He will illuminate the hidden things of the darkness, and he will make manifest the decisions of hearts. And then each one shall have 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.

And so, brothers, I have presented these things in myself and in Apollo, for your sakes, so that you may learn, through us, that no one should be inflated against one person and for another, not beyond what has been written.

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 what distinguishes you from another? And what do you have that you have not received? But if you have received it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it?

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?

So, now you have been filled, and now you have been made wealthy, as if to reign without us? But I wish that you would reign, so that we, too, might reign 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 I think that God has presented us as the last Apostles, as those destined for death. For we have been made into a spectacle for the world, and for Angels, and for 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.

So we are fools because of Christ, but you are discerning in Christ? We are weak, but you are strong? You are noble, but we are ignoble?

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.

Even to this very hour, we hunger and thirst, and we are naked and repeatedly beaten, and we are unsteady.

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.

And we labor, working with our own hands. We are slandered, and so we bless. We suffer and endure persecution.

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.

We are cursed, and so we pray. We have become like the refuse of this world, like the reside of everything, even until now.

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 these things in order to confound you, but in order to admonish you, as my dearest sons.

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.

For you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, but not so many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, through the Gospel, I have begotten you.

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 beg you, be imitators of me, just as I am of Christ.

Por tanto, os ruego que me imitéis.

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.

For this reason, I have sent you Timothy, who is my dearest son, and who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus, just as 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.

Certain persons have become inflated in thinking that I would not return 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 return to you soon, if the Lord is willing. And I will consider, not the words of those who are inflated, but the virtue.

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 in words, but in virtue.

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.

What would you prefer? Should I return to you with a rod, or with charity and a spirit of meekness?

¿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?
