¹Tako, neka nas svatko smatra službenicima Kristovim i upraviteljima otajstava Božjih.

¹Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of [the] mysteries of God.

²A od upravitelja iziskuje se napokon da budu vjerni.

²Here, further, it is sought in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

³Meni pak nije nimalo do toga da me sudite vi ili bilo koji ljudski sud; a ni ja sam sebe ne sudim.

³But for me it is the very smallest matter that I be examined of you or of man's day. Nor do I even examine myself.

⁴Doista, ničega sebi nisam svjestan, no time nisam opravdan: moj je sudac Gospodin.

⁴For I am conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord.

⁵Zato ne sudite ništa prije vremena dok ne dođe Gospodin koji će iznijeti na vidjelo što je sakriveno u tami i razotkriti nakane srdaca. I tada će svatko primiti pohvalu od Boga.

⁵So that do not judge anything before [the] time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have [his] praise from God.

⁶Time, braćo, smjerah na sebe i Apolona radi vas: da na nama naučite onu "Ne preko onoga što je pisano" te se ne nadimate jednim protiv drugoga.

⁶Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the [lesson of] not [letting your thoughts go] above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for [such a] one against another.

⁷Ta tko tebi daje prednost? Što imaš da nisi primio? Ako si primio, što se hvastaš kao da nisi primio?

⁷For who makes thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? but if also thou hast received, why boastest thou as not receiving?

⁸Već ste siti, već se obogatiste, bez nas se zakraljiste! Kamo sreće da se zakraljiste da i mi s vama zajedno kraljujemo!

⁸Already ye are filled; already ye have been enriched; ye have reigned without us; and I would that ye reigned, that *we* also might reign with you.

⁹Jer Bog je, čini mi se, nas apostole prikazao posljednje, kao na smrt osuđene, jer postali smo prizor svijetu, i anđelima, i ljudima -

⁹For I think that God has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

¹⁰mi ludi poradi Krista, vi mudri u Kristu; mi slabi, vi jaki; vi čašćeni, mi prezreni;

¹⁰*We* [are] fools for Christ's sake, but *ye* prudent in Christ: *we* weak, but *ye* strong: *ye* glorious, but *we* in dishonour.

¹¹sve do ovoga časa i gladujemo, i žeđamo, i goli smo, i pljuskaju nas, i beskućnici smo,

¹¹To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are in nakedness, and buffeted, and wander without a home,

¹²i patimo se radeći svojim rukama. Proklinjani blagoslivljamo, proganjani ustrajavamo,

¹²and labour, working with our own hands. Railed at, we bless; persecuted, we suffer [it];

¹³pogrđivani tješimo. Kao smeće svijeta postasmo, svačiji izmet sve do sada.

¹³insulted, we entreat: we are become as [the] offscouring of the world, [the] refuse of all, until now.

¹⁴Ne pišem ovoga da vas postidim, nego da vas kao ljubljenu svoju djecu urazumim.

¹⁴Not [as] chiding do I write these things to you, but as my beloved children I admonish [you].

¹⁵Jer da imate u Kristu i deset tisuća učitelja, ipak ne biste imali više otaca. Ta u Kristu Isusu po evanđelju ja vas rodih!

¹⁵For if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus *I* have begotten you through the glad tidings.

¹⁶Zaklinjem vas, dakle: nasljedovatelji moji budite.

¹⁶I entreat you therefore, be my imitators.

¹⁷Zato upravo poslah k vama Timoteja, koji mi je dijete ljubljeno i vjerno u Gospodinu, da vas podsjeti na naputke moje, u Kristu, kako posvuda u svakoj crkvi učim.

¹⁷For this reason I have sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved and faithful child in [the] Lord, who shall put you in mind of my ways [as] they [are] in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

¹⁸Neki se uzniješe kao da ja neću doći k vama.

¹⁸But some have been puffed up, as if I were not coming to you;

¹⁹Ipak, eto me ubrzo k vama, ako Gospodin htjedne, i rasudit ću ne riječi onih nadutih, nego krepost.

¹⁹but I will come quickly to you, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of those that are puffed up, but the power.

²⁰Ta nije u riječi kraljevstvo Božje, nego u kreposti.

²⁰For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power.

²¹Što želite? Da k vama dođem sa šibom ili s ljubavlju i duhom blagosti?

²¹What will ye? that I come to you with a rod; or in love, and [in] a spirit of meekness?
