Rasuullada Mas'uuliyaddooda Xagga Ilaah

Ha lanagu tiriyo inaannu nahay midiidinyada Masiixa iyo wakiillada waxyaalaha qarsoon ee Ilaah. Haddaba waxaa laga doonayaa wakiillada in aamin laga helo. Laakiin waa ila yar tahay inaad idinku i xukuntaan ama in dad kale i xukumo; xataa aniga qudhaydu isma xukumo. Waayo, waxba iskuma ogi, laakiinse ma aha taas aawadeed in xaq layga dhigay, waayo, waa Rabbiga kan i xukumaa. Taa aawadeed wakhtiga hortiisa waxba ha xukumina ilaa Rabbigu imanayo, kan waxyaalaha qarsoon ee gudcurka iftiimin doona oo muujin doona tashiyada qalbiga, oo markaas nin kastaaba wuxuu ammaantiisa ka heli doonaa Ilaah.

Haddaba, walaalayaalow, waxyaalahan ayaan aawadiin u soo qaaday qudhayda iyo Abolloosba, inaad xaggayaga ka barataan inaydnaan ka gudbin waxyaalaha qoran oo aan midkiinna midka kale u faanin. Waayo, yaa kaa soocay? Maxaad haysataa oo, aanad helin? Laakiin haddaad heshay, bal maxaad u faanaysaa sidii adigoo aan helin? Horaad u dheregteen, horaad hodan u noqoteen, la'aantayo sida boqorro ayaad wax u xukunteen. Waan jeclaan lahaa inaad wax xukuntaan, inaannu annaguna wax idinla xukunno. Waayo, waxaan u malaynayaa in Ilaah na soo saaray, annagoo ah rasuulladii ugu dambeeyey, sida kuwa dhimashada lagu xukumay oo kale, maxaa yeelay, wax la daawado ayaa lanooga dhigay dunida, iyo malaa'igaha, iyo dadkaba. 10 Annagu waxaannu nahay Masiixa aawadiis doqonno, idinkuse caqli baad ku leedihiin xagga Masiixa. Annagu waa xoog darannahay, idinkuse waad xoog badan tihiin, idinku ammaan baad leedihiin, annaguse waa maamuus la' nahay. 11 Tan iyo saacaddan waan gaajaysan nahay, waanan harraadsan nahay, waanan arradan nahay, waa nala garaacay, oo meel aan ku hoyannona ma lihin. 12 Waana hawshoonnaa annagoo gacmahayaga ku shaqayna; markii lana caayona waan ducaynaa; markii lana silciyona waan dulqaadannaa. 13 Markii lana xantona, si qabow ayaannu u hadallaa, waxaannu noqonnay uskagga dunida iyo waxa ugu wasakhsan wax kasta tan iyo haatan.

Sidii Aabbe Oo Kale Ayaa Loo Waaniyey Oo Loogu Digay

14 Anigu waxyaalahaas u qori maayo inaan idin ceebeeyo laakiin inaan idin waaniyo sida carruurtayda aan jeclahay oo kale. 15 In kastoo aad leedihiin toban kun oo Masiix idinku rabbeeyey, aabbayaal badan ma lihidin, waayo, Ciise Masiix ayaan idinku dhalay xagga injiilka. 16 Haddaba waxaan idinka baryayaa inaad igu dayataan. 17 Taas aawadeed waxaan idiin soo diray Timoteyos oo xagga Rabbiga ah wiilkayga aan jeclahay oo aaminka ah. Wuu idin xusuusin doonaa socodkayga ee ah xagga Masiixa, sidaan meel kasta wax ugu baro kiniisad kasta. 18 Qaar baa kibray sidii anigoo aan idiin imanaynin. 19 Laakiin dhowaan baan idiin iman doonaa, haddii Rabbigu yidhaahdo, oo markaasaan garan doonaa kuwa kibray xooggooda, ee ma aha hadalkooda. 20 Waayo, boqortooyada Ilaah hadal ma aha, ee waa xoog. 21 Maxaad doonaysaan? Ma inaan ul idiinla imaado, mise jacayl iyo ruux qabow?

The Nature of True Apostleship

This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants(A) of Christ and as those entrusted(B) with the mysteries(C) God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience(D) is clear, but that does not make me innocent.(E) It is the Lord who judges me.(F) Therefore judge nothing(G) before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.(H) He will bring to light(I) what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.(J)

Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.”(K) Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.(L) For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive?(M) And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich!(N) You have begun to reign—and that without us! How I wish that you really had begun to reign so that we also might reign with you! For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die(O) in the arena. We have been made a spectacle(P) to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. 10 We are fools for Christ,(Q) but you are so wise in Christ!(R) We are weak, but you are strong!(S) You are honored, we are dishonored! 11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.(T) 12 We work hard with our own hands.(U) When we are cursed, we bless;(V) when we are persecuted,(W) we endure it; 13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage(X) of the world—right up to this moment.

Paul’s Appeal and Warning

14 I am writing this not to shame you(Y) but to warn you as my dear children.(Z) 15 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father(AA) through the gospel.(AB) 16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.(AC) 17 For this reason I have sent to you(AD) Timothy,(AE) my son(AF) 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.(AG)

18 Some of you have become arrogant,(AH) as if I were not coming to you.(AI) 19 But I will come to you very soon,(AJ) if the Lord is willing,(AK) 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(AL) talk but of power.(AM) 21 What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline,(AN) or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

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

Therefore judge nothing 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 of God.

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

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.

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

11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers 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.

21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
