1 Corinthians 4:5-6--Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time (kaiROU), before the Lord comes, who will bring to light (pho-tISei) the things now hidden (ta KRYPta) in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation (EPainos) from God. 6 I have applied (metesche-MATisa) all this to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brethren, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up (physiOUSthe) in favor of one against another. (RSV)
Alt.:--The moral of this is that we should make no hasty or premature judgments. ...
    Having your favourite teacher is not only silly but wrong
I have used myself and Apollos above as an illustration, so that you might learn from what I have said about us not to assess man above his value in God's sight, and may thus avoid the friction that comes from exalting one teacher against another. (Phillips)

(RSV)
Alt.:--my beloved and trustworthy child in the Lord, ... who will recall to your minds my methods of proceeding and course of conduct and way of life in Christ ... Some of you have become conceited and arrogant and pretentious, counting on my not coming to you. ... and then I will perceive and understand not what the talk of these puffed up and arrogant spirits amount to, but their force (the moral power and excellence of soul they really possess).

Alt.:--It is widely reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and the kind of sexual immorality that is not even tolerated among the Gentiles�a man is living with his father's wife. And you are inflated with pride, instead of filled with grief (HCSB)

1 Corinthians 8:1-3--Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that �all of us possess knowledge.� This �knowledge� puffs up, but love (aGApe-) builds up (oikodoMEI). 2 If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. 3 But if anyone loves (agaPA) God, he is known (egNO-Stai) by God. (ESV)
Alt.:--Now about food offered to idols: of course we know (OIdamen) that all of us possess knowledge (GNO-sin) [concerning these matters.

(AMP)
Alt.:--But knowledge makes us proud of ourselves, while love makes us helpful to others. (CEV)

Alt.:--while knowledge may make a man look big, it is only love that can make him grow to his full stature. (Phillips)

We are speaking before God in Christ� and speaking all things (PANta), beloved (agape-TOI), for the sake of your edification (oikodomEIS). 20 For I am fearing (phobOUmai) that having come, I may somehow find you to be not such as I want and I may be found by you to be such as you do not want� that somehow there may be strife (ERis), jealousy (ZE-Los), rages (thymOI), selfish-interests (eriTHEIai), slanders (katalaliAI), whisperings (psithyrisMOI), puffings [with pride] (physiO-Seis), disorders (akatastaSIai); 21 that I having come again, my God should humble (tapeiNO-Se-) me before you, and I should mourn many of the ones having previously-sinned and not having repented over the impurity (akatharSIa) and sexual-immorality (pornEIa) and sensuality (aselGEIa) which they practiced (Epraxan).

(CEB)
Alt.:--I am afraid of finding arguments, jealousy, ill-feeling, divided loyalties, slander, whispering, pride and disharmony. When I come, will God make me feel ashamed of you as I stand among you?

Colossians 2:18-19--Let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting (THELo-n) in humble-mindedness (tapeinophroSYne-) and in worship of the messengers (to-n anGELo-n), intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly (eiKE-) puffed up (physiOUmenos) by the mind (noOS) of his flesh (sarKOS), 19 and not (ou) holding (kraTO-N) the head (kephaLE-N), from which all the body (SO-ma) -- through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together -- may increase with the increase (AUXei te-n AUXe-sin) of God. (YLT)
