1 Corinthians 4:4

Christ's Servant, God's Steward

³ But for me it is the very smallest matter that I be examined of you or of man's day. Nor do I even examine myself. ⁴ For I am conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord. ⁵ So that do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have his praise from God.

Before God
