Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New International Version NIV
6 But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes: that in us you may learn that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written.
6
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.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.
7 For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received, and if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
7
For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
8 You are now full: you are now become rich: you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
8
Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! 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!
9 For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death. We are made a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.
9
For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings.
10 We are fools for Christs sake, but you are wise in Christ: we are weak, but you are strong: you are honourable, but we without honour.
10
We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!
11 Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are buffeted and have no fixed abode.
11
To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
12 And we labour, working with our own hands. We are reviled: and we bless. We are persecuted: and we suffer it.
12
We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
13 We are blasphemed: and we entreat. We are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all, even until now.
13
when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world—right up to this moment.
