1 Corinthians 4:4

2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human¹ court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.

5 ^aTherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to ^blight the hidden things of darkness and ^creveal the counsels of the hearts. ^dThen each one’s praise will come from God.

6 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be¹ puffed up on behalf of one against the other.

7 For who¹ makes you differ from another? And ^awhat do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

8 You are already full! ^aYou are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us—and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you!
