4:6But these things, brothers and sisters, 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.

7For who distinguisheth you$1 Or what have you that you have not received$1 And if you have received, why do you glory, as if you had not received it$1

8You 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.

9For I think that God has 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.

10We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honourable, but we without honour.

11Even to this hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no fixed abode;

12And we work, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and we bless; we are persecuted, and we suffer it.

13We are blasphemed, and we entreat; we are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all even until now.

14I write not these things to confound you; but I admonish you as my dearest children.

15For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you.

144:17The Lord is righteous in all his ways: and holy in all his works.

18The Lord is nigh to all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.

19He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.

20The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the evil he will destroy.

6:1And it happened on the second first sabbath, that as he went through the corn fields, his disciples plucked the ears, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

2And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do you that which is not lawful on the sabbath days?

3And Jesus answering them, said: Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and those who were with him:

4How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the bread of proposition, and gave to them that were with him, which is not lawful to eat but only for the priests?

5And he said to them: The Son of Man is Lord also of the sabbath.
