1 Corinthians 4:3-5

New King James Version

³But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human ^[a]court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. ⁴For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. ⁵^(A)Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to ^(B)light the hidden things of darkness and ^(C)reveal the ^[b]counsels of the hearts. ^(D)Then each one’s praise will come from God.

1 Corinthians 4:3-5

King James Version

³But 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.

⁴For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

⁵Therefore 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.

New American Standard Bible

³But to me it is an insignificant matter that I would be examined by you, or by any human ^[a]court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. ⁴For I ^(A)am not aware of anything against myself; however I am not ^(B)vindicated by this, but the one who examines me is the Lord. ⁵Therefore ^(C)do not go on ^[b]passing judgment before ^[c]the time, but wait ^(D)until the Lord comes, who will both ^(E)bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of human hearts; and then ^(F)praise will come to each person from God.
