고전4:7-16
7 누가 너를 남달리 구별하였느냐 네게 있는 것 중에 받지 아니한 것이 무엇이냐 네가 받았은즉 어찌하여 받지 아니한 것 같이 자랑하느냐
8 너희가 이미 배 부르며 이미 풍성하며 우리 없이도 왕이 되었도다 우리가 너희와 함께 왕 노릇 하기 위하여 참으로 너희가 왕이 되기를 원하노라
9 내가 생각하건대 하나님이 사도인 우리를 죽이기로 작정된 자 같이 끄트머리에 두셨으매 우리는 세계 곧 천사와 사람에게 구경거리가 되었노라
10 우리는 그리스도 때문에 어리석으나 너희는 그리스도 안에서 지혜롭고 우리는 약하나 너희는 강하고 너희는 존귀하나 우리는 비천하여
11 바로 이 시각까지 우리가 주리고 목마르며 헐벗고 매맞으며 정처가 없고
12 또 수고하여 친히 손으로 일을 하며 모욕을 당한즉 축복하고 박해를 받은즉 참고
13 비방을 받은즉 권면하니 우리가 지금까지 세상의 더러운 것과 만물의 찌꺼기 같이 되었도다
14 내가 너희를 부끄럽게 하려고 이것을 쓰는 것이 아니라 오직 너희를 내 사랑하는 자녀 같이 권하려 하는 것이라
15 그리스도 안에서 일만 스승이 있으되 아버지는 많지 아니하니 그리스도 예수 안에서 내가 복음으로써 너희를 낳았음이라
16 그러므로 내가 너희에게 권하노니 너희는 나를 본받는 자가 되라

4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till 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.
6 Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, 'Do not go beyond what is written.' Then you will not take pride in one man over against another.
7 For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! You have become kings-and that without us! How I wish that you really had become kings so that we might be kings with you!
9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like men condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men.
10 We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!
11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
12 We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
14 I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you, as my dear children.
15 Even though you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
