Prva poslanica Korinćanima 4

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Tako, neka nas svatko smatra službenicima Kristovim i upraviteljima otajstava Božjih.	1 Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, and the dispensers of the mysteries of God.
2 A od upravitelja iziskuje se napokon da budu vjerni.	2 Here now it is required among the dispensers, that a man be found faithful.
3 Meni pak nije nimalo do toga da me sudite vi ili bilo koji ljudski sud; a ni ja sam sebe ne sudim.	3 But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you, or by man's day; but neither do I judge my own self.
4 Doista, ničega sebi nisam svjestan, no time nisam opravdan: moj je sudac Gospodin.	4 For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me, is the Lord.
5 Zato 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.	5 Therefore judge not 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 from God.
6 Time, 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.	6 But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes; that in us you may learn, that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written.
7 Ta tko tebi daje prednost? Što imaš da nisi primio? Ako si primio, što se hvastaš kao da nisi primio?	7 For who distinguisheth thee ? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received ? And if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it ?
8 Već ste siti, već se obogatiste, bez nas se zakraljiste! Kamo sreće da se zakraljiste da i mi s vama zajedno kraljujemo!	8 You are now full; you are now become rich; you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 Jer Bog je, čini mi se, nas apostole prikazao posljednje, kao na smrt osuđene, jer postali smo prizor svijetu, i anđelima, i ljudima –	9 For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death: we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.
10 mi ludi poradi Krista, vi mudri u Kristu; mi slabi, vi jaki; vi čašćeni, mi prezreni;	10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honourable, but we without honour.
11 sve do ovoga časa i gladujemo, i žeđamo, i goli smo, i pljuskaju nas, i beskućnici smo,	11 Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no fixed abode;
12 i patimo se radeći svojim rukama. Proklinjani blagoslivljamo, proganjani ustrajavamo,	12 And we labour, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and we bless; we are persecuted, and we suffer it.
13 pogrđivani tješimo. Kao smeće svijeta postasmo, svačiji izmet sve do sada.	13 We are blasphemed, and we entreat; we are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all even until now.
14 Ne pišem ovoga da vas postidim, nego da vas kao ljubljenu svoju djecu urazumim.	14 I write not these things to confound you; but I admonish you as my dearest children.
15 Jer da imate u Kristu i deset tisuća učitelja, ipak ne biste imali više otaca. Ta u Kristu Isusu po evanđelju ja vas rodih!	15 For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you.
16 Zaklinjem vas, dakle: nasljedovatelji moji budite.	16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
17 Zato 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.	17 For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my dearest son and faithful in the Lord; who will put you in mind of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus; as I teach every where in every church.
18 Neki se uzniješe kao da ja neću doći k vama.	18 As if I would not come to you, so some are puffed up.
19 Ipak, eto me ubrzo k vama, ako Gospodin htjedne, i rasudit ću ne riječi onih nadutih, nego krepost.	19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will: and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power.
20 Ta nije u riječi kraljevstvo Božje, nego u kreposti.	20 For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.
21 Što želite? Da k vama dođem sa šibom ili s ljubavlju i duhom blagosti?	21 What will you ? shall I come to you with a rod; or in charity, and in the spirit of meekness ?
