Reading 1 Corinthians chapter 4 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.

Verses 1–10

1 Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ and the dispensers of the mysteries of God.

2 Here now it is required among the dispensers that a man be found faithful.

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 For I am not conscious to myself of anything. Yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

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 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 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 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 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 We are fools for Christs sake, but you are wise in Christ: we are weak, but you are strong: you are honourable, but we without honour.
