1 Corinthians 4:6

The Apostles' Humility

⁵ Therefore, stop judging prematurely, before the Lord comes, for he will bring to light what is now hidden in darkness and reveal the motives of our hearts. Then each person will receive his praise from God. ⁶ Brothers, I have applied all this to Apollos and myself for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what the Scriptures say. Then you will stop boasting about one person at the expense of another. ⁷ For who makes you superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not receive it?
