절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	The Work of the Apostles Think of us as servants of Christ who have been given the work of explaining God's mysterious ways.	Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2	And since our first duty is to be faithful to the one we work for,	Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3	it doesn't matter to me if I am judged by you or even by a court of law. In fact, I don't judge myself.	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.
4	I don't know of anything against me, but this doesn't prove I am right. The Lord is my judge.	For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5	So don't judge anyone until the Lord returns. He will show what is hidden in the dark and what is in everyone's heart. Then God will be the one who praises each of us.	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.
6	Friends, I have used Apollos and myself as examples to teach you the meaning of the saying, “Follow the rules.” I want you to stop saying one of us is better than the other.	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.
7	What is so special about you? What do you have that you were not given? And if it was given to you, how can you brag?	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?
8	Are you already satisfied? Are you now rich? Have you become kings while we are still nobodies? I wish you were kings. Then we could have a share in your kingdom.	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.
9	It seems to me that God has put us apostles in the worst possible place. We are like prisoners on their way to death. Angels and the people of this world just laugh at us.	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.
10	Because of Christ we are thought of as fools, but Christ has made you wise. We are weak and hated, but you are powerful and respected.	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.
11	Even today we go hungry and thirsty and don't have anything to wear except rags. We are mistreated and don't have a place to live.	Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
12	We work hard with our own hands, and when people abuse us, we wish them well. When we suffer, we are patient.	And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13	When someone curses us, we answer with kind words. Until now we are thought of as nothing more than the trash and garbage of this world.	Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14	I am not writing to embarrass you. I want to help you, just as parents help their own dear children.	I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15	Ten thousand people may teach you about Christ, but I am your only father. You became my children when I told you about Christ Jesus,	For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16	and I want you to be like me.	Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
17	This is why I sent Timothy to you. I love him like a son, and he is a faithful servant of the Lord. Timothy will tell you what I do to follow Christ and how it agrees with what I always teach about Christ in every church.	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.
18	Some of you think I am not coming for a visit, and so you are bragging.	Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19	But if the Lord lets me come, I will soon be there. Then I will find out if the ones who are doing all this bragging really have any power.	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.
20	God's kingdom isn't just a lot of words. It is power.	For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21	What do you want me to do when I arrive? Do you want me to be hard on you or to be kind and gentle?	What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
