We are fools on account of Christ, but you are prudent in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are without honor!

Up to this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed and roughly treated and homeless;

and we labor, working with our own hands; when we are verbally abused, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

when we are slandered, we reply as friends; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

Therefore I urge you, be imitators of me.

우리는 그리스도 때문에 어리석으나 너희는 그리스도 안에서 지혜롭고 우리는 약하나 너희는 강하고 너희는 존귀하나 우리는 비천하여

We are fools on account of Christ, but you are prudent in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are without honor!

바로 이 시각까지 우리가 주리고 목마르며 헐벗고 매맞으며 정처가 없고

Up to this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed and roughly treated and homeless;

또 수고하여 친히 손으로 일을 하며 모욕을 당한즉 축복하고 박해를 받은즉 참고

and we labor, working with our own hands; when we are verbally abused, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

비방을 받은즉 권면하니 우리가 지금까지 세상의 더러운 것과 만물의 찌꺼기 같이 되었도다

when we are slandered, we reply as friends; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

내가 너희를 부끄럽게 하려고 이것을 쓰는 것이 아니라 오직 너희를 내 사랑하는 자녀 같이 권하려 하는 것이라

I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

그리스도 안에서 일만 스승이 있으되 아버지는 많지 아니하니 그리스도 예수 안에서 내가 복음으로써 너희를 낳았음이라

For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

그러므로 내가 너희에게 권하노니 너희는 나를 본받는 자가 되라

Therefore I urge you, be imitators of me.
