1 THIS is the way you should consider us: as the servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Henceforth it is required of stewards, that every one of them must be faithful. 3 But as for me, it is of little importance that I am judged by you or by any one else: because I do not judge myself. 4 For I know nothing of which I am guilty; yet I may not be right in this, for my judge is the LORD. 5 Therefore do not judge before the time, until the LORD comes, and brings to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveals the thoughts of the hearts; then shall every man have praise from God. 6 These things, my brethren, concerning myself and Apollos I have pictured for your sakes; that in our example you may learn not to think beyond that which is written, and let no one exalt himself over his fellow man, on account of any man. 7 For who has inquired into you? And what do you have which was not given to you? and if you did receive it, then why do you boast, as if you had not received it? 1 Corinthians 4:1-7, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
