This is the way any person is to regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

But to me it is an insignificant matter that I would be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

For I am not aware of anything against myself; however I am not vindicated by this, but the one who examines me is the Lord.

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of human hearts; and then praise will come to each person from God.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
