1 Corinthians 4:1-6

1A person should think of us in this way: as servants of Christ and managers of the mysteries of God.

2In this regard, it is required that managers be found faithful.

3It is of little importance to me that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I don’t even judge myself.

4For I am not conscious of anything against myself, but I am not justified by this. It is the Lord who judges me.

5So don’t judge anything prematurely, before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the intentions of the hearts. And then praise will come to each one from God.

6Now, 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: “Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be arrogant, favoring one person over another.
