1 Corinthians 4:1-5 - Christ's Servant, God's Steward
1 The right way for a man to think of us is as Christ's servants, and managers authorized to distribute the secret truths of God. 2 Now further, what is always demanded of managers is that they can be depended on. 3 I for my part care very little about being examined by you or by any human court. I do not even offer myself for investigation. 4 For while my conscience does not trouble me at all, that does not prove that I am innocent. It is the Lord who must examine me. 5 Do not form any premature judgments, therefore, but wait until the Lord comes back. For he will light up the darkness that now hides things and show what the motives in people's minds are, and then everyone will get from God the praise he deserves.
