WHO MAKETH THEE TO DIFFER FROM ANOTHER AND WHAT HAST THOU THAT THOU DIDST NOT RECEIVE

1 CORINTHIANS 4:7-16 

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? 

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. 

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.

WE ARE FOOLS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, 

BUT YE ARE WISE IN CHRIST; 

WE ARE WEAK, 

BUT YE ARE STRONG; 

YE ARE HONORABLE, 

BUT WE ARE DESPISED. 

EVEN UNTO THIS PRESENT HOUR 

WE BOTH HUNGER, 

AND THIRST, 

AND ARE NAKED, 

AND ARE BUFFETED, 

AND HAVE NO CERTAIN 

DWELLINGPLACE; 

AND LABOUR, 

WORKING WITH OUR OWN HANDS: 

BEING REVILED, WE BLESS; 

BEING PERSECUTED, WE SUFFER IT: 

BEING DEFAMED, WE INTREAT: 

WE ARE MADE AS 

THE FILTH OF THE WORLD, 

AND ARE OFFSCOURING 

OF ALL THINGS UNTO THIS DAY.

 I write not these 

things to shame you, 

but as my beloved sons 

I warn you. 

FOR THOUGH YE HAVE TEN THOUSAND INSTRUCTERS IN CHRIST, 

YET YE NOT MANY FATHERS:

for 

in Christ Jesus 

I have begotten you 

through 

the gospel Wherefore 

I beseech you, 

be ye followers of me.

 LOVE
