1 Corinthians 3:21-4:7

English Standard Version

²¹ So ^(A)let no one boast in men. For ^(B)all things are yours, ²² whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, ²³ and ^(C)you are Christ's, and ^(D)Christ is God's.

The Ministry of Apostles

4 This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and ^(E)stewards of the mysteries of God. ² Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. ³ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. ^4 (F)For I am not aware of anything against myself, ^(G)but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. ⁵ Therefore ^(H)do not pronounce judgment before the time, ^(I)before the Lord comes, ^(J)who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. ^(K)Then each one will receive his commendation from God.

⁶ I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers,^[a] that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may ^(L)be puffed up in favor of one against another. ⁷ For who sees anything different in you? ^(M)What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?
