| 1 | Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. | Que chacun donc nous regarde comme des serviteurs de Christ et des dispensateurs des mystères de Dieu. | Let a man so account of us, as of ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. |
| 2 | Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. | Mais au reste, ce qu'on demande des dispensateurs, c'est que chacun soit trouvé fidèle. | Here, moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. |
| 3 | 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. | Pour moi, il m'importe fort peu d'être jugé par vous, ou par un tribunal humain; et je ne me juge pas non plus moi-même. | 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. |
| 4 | For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. | Car je ne me sens coupable de rien; pour cela, néanmoins, je ne suis pas justifié; mais celui qui me juge, c'est le Seigneur. | For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. |
| 5 | 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. | C'est pourquoi, ne jugez de rien avant le temps, jusqu'à ce que vienne le Seigneur, qui mettra en évidence les choses cachées dans les ténèbres, et qui manifestera les desseins des cœurs; et alors Dieu donnera à chacun sa louange. | Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God. |
| 6 | 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. | Or, mes frères, je me suis appliqué ces choses, ainsi qu'à Apollos, à cause de vous, afin que vous appreniez en nos personnes à ne pas penser au-delà de ce qui est écrit, afin que nul de vous ne mette son orgueil en l'un pour s'élever contre l'autre. | Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not [to go] beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other. |
| 7 | 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? | Car qui est-ce qui te distingue? Et qu'as-tu, que tu ne l'aies reçu? Et si tu l'as reçu, pourquoi t'en glorifies-tu, comme si tu ne l'avais point reçu? | For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it? |
| 8 | 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. | Vous êtes déjà rassasiés, vous êtes déjà riches, vous régnez sans nous. Et plût à Dieu que vous régnez, afin que nous régnions aussi avec vous! | Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have come to reign without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. |
| 9 | 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. | Car je pense que Dieu nous a exposés, nous les apôtres, comme les derniers d'entre vous, comme des gens voués à la mort, nous faisant servir de spectacle au monde, et aux messagers de Dieu et aux hommes. | For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, both to angels and 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. | Nous sommes fous à cause de Christ, mais vous, vous êtes sages en Christ; nous sommes faibles mais vous êtes forts; vous êtes dans l'honneur, mais nous sommes dans le mépris. | We are fools for Christ`s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor. |
| 11 | Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; | Jusqu'à présent nous souffrons la faim et la soif, et nous sommes nus; on nous frappe au visage, et nous sommes errants çà et là; | Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place; |
| 12 | And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: | Nous nous fatiguons en travaillant de nos propres mains; outragés, nous bénissons; persécutés, nous le supportons; | and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; |
| 13 | Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. | Calomniés, nous prions; nous sommes jusqu'à présent comme les balayures du monde, le rebut de tous. | being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now. |
| 14 | I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. | Je n'écris point ces choses pour vous faire honte; mais je vous avertis comme mes chers enfants. | I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. |
| 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. | Car, vous auriez dix mille maîtres en Christ, que vous n'auriez pas plusieurs pères; car c'est moi qui vous ai engendrés en Jésus-Christ, par l'Évangile. | For though ye have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the gospel. |
| 16 | Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. | Je vous en supplie donc, soyez mes associés. | I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators 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. | C'est pour cela que je vous ai envoyé Timothée, qui est mon fils bien-aimé et fidèle, dans le Seigneur; il vous fera ressouvenir de mes voies en Christ, et de quelle manière j'enseigne partout dans toutes les Églises. | For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church. |
| 18 | Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. | Or, quelques-uns se sont enflés d'orgueil, comme si je ne devais pas venir chez vous. | Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming 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. | Mais j'irai bientôt chez vous, si le Seigneur le veut, et je connaîtrai, non quelle est la parole de ceux qui sont enflés, mais leur pouvoir. | But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them that are puffed up, but the power. |
| 20 | For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. | Car le royaume de Dieu consiste en puissance et non en paroles. | 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? | Que voulez-vous? Irai-je à vous avec la verge, ou avec charité, et dans un esprit de douceur? | What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness? |
