1 Corinthians 4:5

Christ's Servant, God's Steward

⁴ for, although I am not conscious of having anything against me, that does not clear me. It is the Lord who cross-questions me on the matter. ⁵ So do not criticize at all; the hour of reckoning has still to come, when the Lord will come to bring dark secrets to the light and to reveal life's inner aims and motives. Then each of us will get his meed of praise from God. ⁶ Now I have applied what has been said above to myself and Apollos, to teach you ... that you are not to be puffed up with rivalry over one teacher as against another.
