1 Corinthians 4:4

Christ's Servant, God's Steward

³ With me is it but a very small thing, that I should be judged of you, either of man's day. No I judge not mine own self. ⁴ I know nought by myself: yet am I not thereby justified. It is the Lord that judgeth me. ⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God.

Before God
