1 Corinthians 4:14-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
14
I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
15
For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet
you would
not
have
many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
16
Therefore I urge you, be imitators of me.
17
For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.
18
Now some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.
19
But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant, but their power.
20
For the kingdom of God is not in words, but in power.
King James Version
Chapter 4
14
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15
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
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
17
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
Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19
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
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
14
I’m not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my dear children.
15
For you may have countless instructors in Christ, but you don’t have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
16
Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
17
This is why I have sent Timothy to you. He is my dearly loved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you about my ways in Christ Jesus, just as I teach everywhere in every church.
18
Now some are arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.
19
But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk, but the power of those who are arrogant.
20
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
14
I am not writing these things to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.
15
For even if you had ten thousand others to teach you about Christ, you have only one spiritual father. For I became your father in Christ Jesus when I preached the Good News to you.
16
So I urge you to imitate me.
17
That’s why I have sent Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of how I follow Christ Jesus, just as I teach in all the churches wherever I go.
18
Some of you have become arrogant, thinking I will not visit you again.
19
But I will come — and soon — if the Lord lets me, and then I’ll find out whether these arrogant people just give pretentious speeches or whether they really have God’s power.
20
For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
14
I do not write these things to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
15
For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
16
I urge you, then, be imitators of me.
17
That is why I sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.
18
Some are arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.
19
But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power.
20
For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.
New International Version
Chapter 4
14
I am writing this not to shame you but to warn you as my dear children.
15
Even if you had 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.
17
For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.
18
Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
19
But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have.
20
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
New King James Version
