Chapter 4
- Let a man so consider us, as
servants
of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
- Moreover it is required in stewards
that one be found faithful.
- But with me it is a very small
thing
that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do
not even judge myself.
- For I know nothing against myself,
yet
I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.
- Therefore judge nothing before the
time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden
things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts; and then each
one's praise will come from God. (Job
12:22)
- 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 be puffed up on behalf of one against the other.
- For who makes you differ from
another? And what do
you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive
it, why do you glory as if you had not received it? (John
3:27)
- You are already full! You 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! (Rev. 3:17)
