1 Corinthians 4:4

Christ's Servant, God's Steward

³ It is of little importance to me that I should be evaluated by you or by any human court. In fact, I don’t even evaluate myself. ⁴ For I am not conscious of anything against myself, but I am not justified by this. The One who evaluates me is the Lord. ⁵ Therefore don’t judge anything prematurely, before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the intentions of the hearts. And then praise will come to each one from God.

Before God

It is the Lord
