The Ministry of the Apostles

 

 

1 Corinthians 4:1-13

 

 

1 ¶ Let a man so think of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God.

 

2 And as for the rest, it is required of the disposers, that every man be found faithful.

 

3 As touching me, I pass very little to be judged of you, or of man's judgment; no, I judge not my own self.

 

4 For I know nothing by myself, yet am I not thereby justified; but he that judgeth me, is the Lord.

 

5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will lighten things that are hid in darkness, and make the counsels of the hearts manifest; and then shall every man have praise of God.

 

6 ¶ Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied unto my own self and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye might learn by us, that no man presume above that which is written, that one swell not against another for any man's cause.

 

7 For who separateth thee? And what hast thou, that thou hast not received? If thou hast received it, why rejoicest thou, as though thou hadst not received it?

 

8 ¶ Now ye are full, now ye are made rich, ye reign as kings without us, and would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

 

9 For I think that God hath set forth us the last Apostles, as men appointed to death; for we are made a gazingstock unto the world, and to the Angels, and to men.

 

10 We are fools for Christ's sake, and ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, and ye are strong; ye are honorable, and we are despised.

 

11 Unto this hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;

 

12 And labor, working with our own hands; we are reviled, and yet we bless; we are persecuted, and suffer it.

 

13 We are evil spoken of, and we pray; we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, unto this time.

1 Corinthians 14:8

And also if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to battle?

"Let not Geneva be forgotten or despised. Religious liberty owes it most respect."   John Adams, the second president of the United States

Before, and many years after the KJV was printed, the GENEVA BIBLE was the People's Choice, but an ungodly King made it illegal to publish it any longer:  http://www.genevabible.org/Geneva.html Click on "Geneva Bible History" on my site.
