1 So let a man reckon us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 And besides it is sought in stewards, that any one be found faithful. 3 And to me it is the least that I be judged by you, or by man's day: but neither do I judge myself. 4 For I know nothing by myself; but in this I have not been justified: and he examining me is the Lord. 5 Therefore judge ye nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who also, will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of hearts: and then shall praise be to each from God. 6 And these things, brethren, I transformed to myself and to Apollos for you; that ye might learn in us not to think above what has been written, lest ye be puffed up one above one against the other. 7 For who distinguishes thee? and what hast thou which thou didst not receive? and if thou also didst receive, why dost thou boast, as not having received? 1 Corinthians 4:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation.
