But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself.
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.

You are already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you.
Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you!
For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor.
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute.
To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;
To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless,
and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;
and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;
when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.
when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power.
For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.
For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.
