1 ουτωσ ημασ λογιζεσθω ανθρωποσ ωσ υπηρετασ χριστου και οικονομουσ μυστηριων θεου
1 TÉNGANNOS los hombres por ministros de Cristo, y dispensadores de los misterios de Dios.
1 So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.
2 ο δε λοιπον ζητειται εν τοισ οικονομοισ ινα πιστοσ τισ ευρεθη
2 Mas ahora se requiere en los dispensadores, que cada uno sea hallado fiel.
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
3 εμοι δε εισ ελαχιστον εστιν ινα υφ υμων ανακριθω η υπο ανθρωπινησ ημερασ αλλ ουδε εμαυτον ανακρινω
3 Yo en muy poco tengo el ser juzgado de vosotros, ó de juicio humano; y ni aun yo me juzgo.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.
4 ουδεν γαρ εμαυτω συνοιδα αλλ ουκ εν τουτω δεδικαιωμαι ο δε ανακρινων με κυριοσ εστιν
4 Porque aunque de nada tengo mala conciencia, no por eso soy justificado; mas el que me juzga, el Señor es.
4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
5 ωστε μη προ καιρου τι κρινετε εωσ αν ελθη ο κυριοσ οσ και φωτισει τα κρυπτα του σκοτουσ και φανερωσει τασ βουλασ των καρδιων και τοτε ο επαινοσ γενησεται εκαστω απο του θεου
5 Así que, no juzguéis nada antes de tiempo, hasta que venga el Señor, el cual también aclarará lo oculto de las tinieblas, y manifestará los intentos de los corazones: y entonces cada uno tendrá de Dios la alabanza.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
6 ταυτα δε αδελφοι μετεσχηματισα εισ εμαυτον και απολλω δι υμασ ινα εν ημιν μαθητε το μη υπερ ο γεγραπται φρονειν ινα μη εισ υπερ του ενοσ φυσιουσθε κατα του ετερου
6 Esto empero, hermanos, he pasado por ejemplo en mí y en Apolos por amor de vosotros; para que en nosotros aprendáis á no saber más de lo que está escrito, hinchándoos por causa de otro el uno contra el otro.
6 Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
7 τισ γαρ σε διακρινει τι δε εχεισ ο ουκ ελαβεσ ει δε και ελαβεσ τι καυχασαι ωσ μη λαβων
7 Porque ¿quién te distingue? ¿ó qué tienes que no hayas recibido? Y si lo recibiste, ¿de qué te glorías como si no hubieras recibido?
7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
8 ηδη κεκορεσμενοι εστε ηδη επλουτησατε χωρισ ημων εβασιλευσατε και οφελον γε εβασιλευσατε ινα και ημεισ υμιν συμβασιλευσωμεν
8 Ya estáis hartos, ya estáis ricos, sin nosotros reináis; y ojalá reinéis, para que nosotros reinemos también juntamente con vosotros.
8 You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!
9 δοκω γαρ οτι ο θεοσ ημασ τουσ αποστολουσ εσχατουσ απεδειξεν ωσ επιθανατιουσ οτι θεατρον εγενηθημεν τω κοσμω και αγγελοισ και ανθρωποισ
9 Porque á lo que pienso, Dios nos ha mostrado á nosotros los apóstoles por los postreros, como á sentenciados á muerte: porque somos hechos espectáculo al mundo, y á los ángeles, y á los hombres.
9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
10 ημεισ μωροι δια χριστον υμεισ δε φρονιμοι εν χριστω ημεισ ασθενεισ υμεισ δε ισχυροι υμεισ ενδοξοι ημεισ δε ατιμοι
10 Nosotros necios por amor de Cristo, y vosotros prudentes en Cristo; nosotros flacos, y vosotros fuertes; vosotros nobles, y nosotros viles.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
11 αχρι τησ αρτι ωρασ και πεινωμεν και διψωμεν και γυμνητευομεν και κολαφιζομεθα και αστατουμεν
11 Hasta esta hora hambreamos, y tenemos sed, y estamos desnudos, y somos heridos de golpes, y andamos vagabundos;
11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
12 και κοπιωμεν εργαζομενοι ταισ ιδιαισ χερσιν λοιδορουμενοι ευλογουμεν διωκομενοι ανεχομεθα
12 Y trabajamos, obrando con nuestras manos: nos maldicen, y bendecimos: padecemos persecución, y sufrimos:
12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
13 βλασφημουμενοι παρακαλουμεν ωσ περικαθαρματα του κοσμου εγενηθημεν παντων περιψημα εωσ αρτι
13 Somos blasfemados, y rogamos: hemos venido á ser como la hez del mundo, el desecho de todos hasta ahora.
13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
14 ουκ εντρεπων υμασ γραφω ταυτα αλλ ωσ τεκνα μου αγαπητα νουθετω
14 No escribo esto para avergonzaros: mas amonéstoos como á mis hijos amados.
14 I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
15 εαν γαρ μυριουσ παιδαγωγουσ εχητε εν χριστω αλλ ου πολλουσ πατερασ εν γαρ χριστω ιησου δια του ευαγγελιου εγω υμασ εγεννησα
15 Porque aunque tengáis diez mil ayos en Cristo, no [tendréis] muchos padres; que en Cristo Jesús yo os engendré por el evangelio.
15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
16 παρακαλω ουν υμασ μιμηται μου γινεσθε
16 Por tanto, os ruego que me imitéis.
16 I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
17 δια τουτο επεμψα υμιν τιμοθεον οσ εστιν τεκνον μου αγαπητον και πιστον εν κυριω οσ υμασ αναμνησει τασ οδουσ μου τασ εν χριστω καθωσ πανταχου εν παση εκκλησια διδασκω
17 Por lo cual os he enviado á Timoteo, que es mi hijo amado y fiel en el Señor, el cual os amonestará de mis caminos cuáles sean en Cristo, de la manera que enseño en todas partes en todas las iglesias.
17 Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
18 ωσ μη ερχομενου δε μου προσ υμασ εφυσιωθησαν τινεσ
18 Mas algunos están envanecidos, como si nunca hubiese yo de ir á vosotros.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
19 ελευσομαι δε ταχεωσ προσ υμασ εαν ο κυριοσ θεληση και γνωσομαι ου τον λογον των πεφυσιωμενων αλλα την δυναμιν
19 Empero iré presto á vosotros, si el Señor quisiere; y entenderé, no las palabras de los que andan hinchados, sino la virtud.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
20 ου γαρ εν λογω η βασιλεια του θεου αλλ εν δυναμει
20 Porque el reino de Dios no consiste en palabras, sino en virtud.
20 For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.
21 τι θελετε εν ραβδω ελθω προσ υμασ η εν αγαπη πνευματι τε πραοτητοσ
21 ¿Qué queréis? ¿iré á vosotros con vara, ó con caridad y espíritu de mansedumbre?
21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Together with all other ills, I know not how, there hath come upon man's nature the disease of restless prying and of unseasonable curiosity, which Christ Himself chastised, saying, (St. Matt. vii. 1.) "Judge not, that ye be not judged." A kind of thing, which hath no pleasure as all other sins have, but only punishment and vengeance.

… not one thing in one place, and another in another; according to which Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and Moses, and David, and all those commended by the mouth of God were righteous, but were judged unrighteous by foolish men, judging out of man's judgment, and gauging by the petty standard of their own manners the manners of the whole …

… is against our will; but nevertheless it doth not escape punishment, but of it too we have to give account:--both of what we know, and of what we do not know; "For I know nothing by myself," saith one, "yet am I not hereby justified:" --both for what we have done in ignorance, and what in knowledge; "For I bear …

And the Martyrs confess, by being made a spectacle unto the world, and to Angels, and to men; and thou wilt soon confess:--but it is not yet the time for thee to hear of this.

7. For it is Thou, Lord, that judgest me; for although no "man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him," yet is there something of man which "the spirit of man which is in him" itself knoweth not.
