1 So let each one think of us in this way—as Messiah’s helpers and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 In this case, moreover, what is required of stewards is to be found trustworthy.
3 But to me it matters very little to be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this. It is the Lord who judges me.
5 Therefore do not judge anything before the time—wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the things hidden in darkness and also make clear the motives of the hearts. Then the praise for each one will come from God.
