1 Corinthians 4:1-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Faithful Manager
4 A person should consider us in this way: as servants(A) of Christ and managers(B) of God’s mysteries.(C) 2 In this regard, it is expected of managers that each one of them be found faithful.(D) 3 It is of little(E) importance to me that I should be evaluated(F) by you or by any human court.[a] In fact, I don’t even evaluate myself. 4 For I am not conscious of anything against myself, but I am not justified(G) by this. The One who evaluates me is the Lord.

New International Version
The Nature of True Apostleship
4 This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants(A) of Christ and as those entrusted(B) with the mysteries(C) God has revealed. 2 Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience(D) is clear, but that does not make me innocent.(E) It is the Lord who judges me.(F)
