1 Corinthians 4:1-6

Servants of Christ

Let a man consider us in this manner, as ^aservants of Christ and ^bstewards of ^cthe mysteries of God. 2 In this case, moreover, it is required ¹of stewards that one be found faithful. 3 But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human ¹court. In fact, I do not even examine myself. 4 For I ^aam conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this ^bacquitted. But the one who examines me is the Lord. 5 Therefore ^ado not go on ¹passing judgment before ²the time, but wait ^buntil the Lord comes who will both ^cbring to light the things hidden in the darkness and make manifest the motives of hearts. And then each one’s ^dpraise will come to him from God.
6 Now these things, brothers, I have applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to go beyond ^awhat is written, so that no one of you will ^bbecome puffed up ^con behalf of one against the other.
