1 Corinthians 4:1-5
1Let a manG444 regardG3049 us in thisG3779 mannerG3779, as 1servantsG5257 of ChristG5547 and 2stewardsG3623 of 3the mysteriesG3466 of GodG2316. 2In thisG5602 caseG5602, moreoverG3062, it is requiredG523 4of stewardsG3623 that oneG5100 be foundG2147 trustworthyG4103. 3But to me it is a veryG1646 smallG1646 thingG1646 that I may be examinedG350 by you, orG2228 by any humanG442 5courtG2250; in factG235, I do not evenG3761 examineG350 myselfG1683. 4For I 6amG4924 consciousG4924 of nothingG3762 against myselfG1683, yetG235 I am not by thisG3778 7acquittedG1344; but the one who examinesG350 me is the LordG2962. 5ThereforeG5620 8do not go on 9passingG2919 judgmentG2919 beforeG4253 10the timeG2540, but wait 11untilG2193 the LordG2962 comesG2064 whoG3739 will bothG2532 12bringG5461 to lightG5461 the thingsG2927 hiddenG2927 in the darknessG4655 and discloseG5319 the motivesG1012 of men’s heartsG2588; and thenG5119 eachG1538 man’sG1538 13praiseG1868 will comeG1096 to him from GodG2316.
