1 Corinthians 4:1-7

1Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of [the] mysteries of 1God.

2Here, further, it is sought in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

3But for me it is the very smallest matter that I be examined of you or of man's day. Nor do I even examine myself.

4For I am conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord.

5So that do not judge anything before [the] time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have [his] praise from 2God.

6Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the [lesson of] not [letting your thoughts go] above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for [such a] one against another.

7For who makes thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? but if also thou hast received, why boastest thou as not receiving?
